An astronaut weighs 104 N on the moon, where the acceleration of gravity is 1.61 m/s2. How much does he weigh on earth? ...?

1 answer:

7 0

Newton's Second Law of Motion states, “The force acting on an object is equal to the mass of that object times its acceleration.” We calculate as follows:

F = ma

At the moon,

104 N = m(1.61 m/s^2)
m = 64.60 kg

Mass will still be the same when on earth since mass is conserved.

At earth,

F=ma
F = 64.60 kg (9.8 m/s^2)
F = 633.04 N <----ANSWER

A/An _____ is described as a device used to store electrical energy, usually two conductors separated by an insulator.

Daniel [21]

Answer: A capacitor.

Explanation:

The capacitor is a passive element that is used in electronics to store electrical energy maintaining an electrical field. The simpler case of a capacitor is the parallel plates capacitor.

It consists of two parallel metal plates separated by a distance D, in this case, the air between the plates works as a dielectric, as the plates do not touch each other and are separated by a dielectric, the charge is stored in the surface plates.

There are a lot of other types of capacitors, the most used in actuality may be the cylindrical one, where instead of parallel plates, it uses two concentric cylinders, and the space between the cylinders is filled with a dielectric/insulator.

The propeller of a World War II fighter plane is 2.30 m in diameter. (a) What is its angular velocity in radians per second if i

Sergio [31]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Diameter of fighter plane=2.3 m

Radius= $r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{2.3}{2}=1.15 m$

a.We have to find the angular velocity in radians per second if it spins=1200 rev/min

Frequency= $\frac{1200}{60}=20 Hz$

1 minute=60 seconds

Angular velocity= $\omega=2\pi f$

Angular velocity= $2\times \frac{22}{7}\times 20=125.7 rad/s$

b.We have to find the linear speed of its tip at this angular velocity if the plane is stationary on the tarmac.

$v=r\omega=1.15\times 125.7=144.56 m/s$

c.Centripetal acceleration= $\omega^2 r=(125.7)^2(1.15)=18170.56 m/s^2$

Centripetal acceleration== $\frac{18170.56\times g}{9.81}=1852.25 g m/s^2$

Collar P slides outward at a constant relative speed along rod AB, which rotates counterclockwise with a constant angular veloci

diamong [38]

Answer:

a= 23.65 ft/s²

Explanation:

given

r= 14.34m

ω=3.65rad/s

Ф=Ф₀ + ωt

t = Ф - Ф₀/ω

= (98-0)× $\frac{\pi}{180}$ /3.65

98°= 1.71042 rad

1.7104/3.65

t= 0.47 s

r₁(not given)

assuming r₁ =20 in

r₁ = r₀ + ut(uniform motion)

u = r₁ - r₀/t

r₀ = 14.34 in= 1.195 ft

r₁ = 20 in = 1.67 ft

= (1.667 - 1.195)/0.47

0.472/0.47

u= 1.00ft/s

acceleration at collar p

a=rω²

= 1.67 × 3.65²

a = 22.25ft/s²

acceleration of collar p related to the rod = 0

coriolis acceleration = 2ωu

= 2× 3.65×1 = 7.3 ft/s²

acceleration of collar p

= 22.5j + 0 + 7.3i

√(22.5² + 7.3²)

the magnitude of the acceleration of the collar P just as it reaches B in ft/s²

a= 23.65 ft/s²
