A devout halloweener not only dressed as an astronaut, but travelled to the moon for the full experience. The astronaut jumps on

the moon with an initial upward velocity of 2.98m/s. If the acceleration of gravity on the moon is -1.62m/s2, what is the highest the astronaut jumps?

Answer:

2.78 m

Explanation:

At the peak, the velocity is 0.

Given:

a = -1.6 m/s²

v₀ = 2.98 m/s

v = 0 m/s

x₀ = 0 m

Find:

x

v² = v₀² + 2a(x - x₀)

(0 m/s)² = (2.98 m/s)² + 2(-1.6 m/s²) (x - 0 m)

x = 2.775 m

Rounded to 3 sig-figs, the astronaut halloweener reaches a maximum height of 2.78 meters.

A man pushes his child in a grocery cart. The total mass of the cart and child is 30.0 kg. If the force of friction on the cart
Ber [7]
Newton's second law states that the resultant of the forces applied to an object is equal to the product between the object's mass and its acceleration:
\sum F = ma
where in our problem, m is the mass the (child+cart) and a is the acceleration of the system.

We are only concerned about what it happens on the horizontal axis, so there are two forces acting on the cart+child system: the force F of the man pushing it, and the frictional force F_f acting in the opposite direction. So Newton's second law can be rewritten as
F-F_a = ma
or
F=ma + F_f

since the frictional force is 15 N and we want to achieve an acceleration of a=1.50 m/s^2, we can substitute these values to find what is the force the man needs:
F=(30 kg)(1.5 m/s^2)+15 N=60 N

A basic physics question
Anna71 [15]
<h3>1)</h3>

No,kinetic energy cannot be negative since its given by KE=mv²,mass cannot be negative and the square of speed cannot b negative.

<h3>2)</h3>

Yes,any force opposing motion or displacement does negative work. They are often referred to as resistive forces (friction,air resistance,drag...)

<h3>3)</h3>

Nope it does not, it just forces the object to move in a circular path known as a centripetal force. It can accelerate an object by changing it's direction but not it's speed.

<h3>4)</h3>

No it cannot,If an object is sliding on the table (assuming it is not an incline), then most probably that normal force cancels out the weights effect or assuming there is an incline, it cancels the weight's y component.

<h3>5)</h3>

w = f.d.cos \alpha  = f.d.cos90 = 0

The work done is zero

<h3>6)</h3>

w = f.d.cos \theta = f.d.cos0 = f.d

The work is just the product of the magnitude of the force exerted and the displacement of the object.

<h3>7)</h3>

0 <  \theta < 90 \\ 1 < cos \theta < 0

<h3>Work is decreasing but positive</h3>

<h3>8)</h3>

\theta = 90 \\ cos \theta = cos90 = 0

<h3>Work is zero</h3>

<h3>9)</h3>

90 <  \theta < 180 \\ 0 < cos \theta <  - 1

<h3>Work is negative</h3>

A magnet in the form of a cylindrical rod has a length of 5.51 cm and a diameter of 0.865 cm. It has a uniform magnetization of
andriy [413]

Answer:

Magnetic dipole moment will be15.51\times 10^{-3}J/T

Explanation:

We have given length of the cylinder , that is h = 5.51 cm = 0.051 m

And diameter of the cylinder d = 0.865 cm

So radius r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{0.865}{2}=0.4325cm=0.4325\times 10^{-2}m

So volume of cylinder V=\pi r^2h=3.14\times (0.4325\times 10^{-2})^2\times 0.051=3\times 10^{-6}m^3

It is given there is uniform magnetization of M=5.17\times 10^3A/m

We have to fond the dipole moment

Dipole moment is equal to \mu =MV, here M is magnetization and V is volume

So \mu =MV=5.17\times 10^3\times 3\times 10^{-6}=15.51\times 10^{-3}J/T
