Answer:

x₁ = 345100 km

Explanation:

The direction of the attraction forces between the earth and the object, and between the moon and the object, are in opposite direction and (along the straight line between the centers of earth and moon) and as gravity is always attractive, the net force will become zero when both forces are equal. According to this:

Let call "x₁" distance between center of the earth and the object, and

"x₂" the distance between center of the moon and the object, Mt mass of the earth, Ml mass of the moon, m₀ mass of the object

we can express:

F₁ ( force between earth and the object )

F₁ = K * Mt * m₀/ ( x₁)² K is a gravitational constant

F₂ (force between mn and the object)

F₂ = K * Ml * m₀ / (x₂)²

Then:

F₁ = F₂ K*Mt*m₀ / x₁² = K*Ml*m₀ /x₂²

Or simplifying the expression

Mt/ x₁² = Ml/ x₂²

We know that x₁ + x₂ = 384000 Km then

x₁ = 384000 - x₂

Mt/( 384000 - x₂)² = Ml / x₂²

Mt * x₂² = Ml *( 384000 - x₂)²

We need to solve for x₂

Mt * x₂² = Ml *[ ( 384000)² + x₂² - 768000*x₂]

By substitution:

5.972*10∧24*x₂² = 7.348*10∧22 * [ 1.47*10∧11 ] + 7.348*10∧22*x₂² -

7.348*10∧22*768000*x₂

Simplifying by 10∧22

5.972*10²*x₂² = 7.348* [ 1.47*10∧11 ] + 7.348*x₂²- 7.348*768000*x₂

Sorting out

5.972*10²*x₂²- 7.348*x₂² = 10.80*10∧11 - 56,43* 10∧5*x₂

(597,2 - 7,348 )* x₂² = 10.80*10∧11 - 56.43*10∧5*x₂

590x₂² + 56.43*10∧5*x₂ - 10.80*10∧11 = 0

Is a second degree equation

x₂ = -56.43*10∧5 ± √3184*10∧10 + 25488*10∧11 / 1160

x₂ ₁ = -56.43*10∧5 + √3184*10∧10 + 25488*10∧11 / 1160

x₂ ₁ = -56.43*10∧5 + √3184*10∧10 + 254880*10∧10 / 1160

x₂ ₁ = -56.43*10∧5 + 10∧5 [ √3184 + 254880 ] /1160

x₂ ₁ = -56.43*10∧5 + 508* 10∧5 / 1160

x₂ ₁ = 451.27*10∧5/1160

x₂ ₁ = 4512.7*10∧4 /1160

x₂ ₁ = 3.89*10∧4 km (distance between the moon and the object)

x₂ ₁ = 38900 km

x₂ = 38900 km

We dismiss the other solution because is negative and there is not a negative distance

Then the distance between the earth and the object is:

x₁ = 384000 - x₂

x₁ = 384000 - 38900

x₁ = 345100 km

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

(a). Energy is 64,680 J

(b) velocity is 51.43m/s

Explanation:

(a).

The potential energy $P$ of the payload of mass $m$ is at a vertical distance $h$ is

$P =mgh$ .

Therefore, for the payload of mass $m = 50kg$ at a vertical distance of $h = 132 m$ , the potential energy is

$P = (50kg)(9.8m/s^2)(132m)$

$\boxed{P = 64,680J}$

(b).

When the payload reaches the bottom of the shaft, all of its potential energy is converted into its kinetic energy; therefore,

$mgh= \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

$v= \sqrt{2gh}$

$v = \sqrt{2*9.8*135}$

$\boxed{v = 51.43m/s}$

(c).

The velocity in mph is

$\dfrac{51.43m}{s} * \dfrac{3600s}{hr} * \dfrac{1mile}{1609.34m}$

$\boxed{v= 115.0mph}$

What ia the law of convesation of energy

Free_Kalibri [48]

In physics and chemistry, the law of conservation of energy states that the total energy of an isolated system remains constant; it is said to be conserved over time. This law means that energy can neither be created nor destroyed; rather, it can only be transformed or transferred from one form to another.

HELP ME PLEASE!!!!!!!!!

Stolb23 [73]

As per the given Figure attached here we know that both charges q1 and q2 will apply same force on charge q3 and hence the resultant force due to both charges will be along Y axis vertically upwards

So here we know that

$F = \frac{kq_1q_3}{d_{13}^2}$

now from the above equation

$F = \frac{(9\times 10^9)(2\times 10^{-6})(4 \times 10^{-6})}{0.5^2}$

$F = 0.288 N$

so both of the charges will apply 0.288 N force on q3 charge along the line joining them

now the net force due to vector sum is given by

$F_{net} = 2Fcos\theta$

here we know that angle is

$\theta = 37 degree$

now we have

$F_{net} = 2\times 0.288 cos37$

$F_{net} = 0.46 N$

so net force on q3 is 0.46 N vertically upwards along +Y axis

Lady_Fox [76]

Your answer would be true. Because if we didn't have those pieces of evidence, we wouldn't know about a lot of the ancient civilizations that we know today without that. Small pieces of evidence like that can help us to determine how they lived, or what they used to do, or even what they ate.
