An astronaut lands on a new planet. The new planet’s mass is half that of the

Physics

Ah hah !  Very nice problem.

-- Since the mass is 1/2 of the Earth's mass, the gravitational forces between him
and the new planet would be 1/2 of what they are on Earth.

-- Since the distance between him and the center of the new planet is 1/2 of the
distance between him and the Earth's center, the gravitational forces between him
and the new planet would be (2)² = 4 times what they are on Earth.

-- These conditions combine to make his weight  (1/2) x (4) = 2 times his earth weight.

-- He weighs 1,000 N (about 224.8 pounds) on the new planet.

(Maybe that's why they selected an astronaut for this mission who only weighs
about 112.5 pounds on Earth.)

How much charge does a 9.0 v battery transfer from the negative to the positive terminal while doing 39 j of work?
sdas [7]
The work done by the battery is equal to the charge transferred during the process times the potential difference between the two terminals of the battery:
W=q \Delta V
where q is the charge and \Delta V is the potential difference.

In our problem, the work done is W=39 J while the potential difference of the battery is \Delta V = 9.0 V, so we can find the charge transferred by the battery:
q= \frac{W}{\Delta V}= \frac{39 J}{9.0 V}=4.33 C

The two speakers at S1 and S2 are adjusted so that the observer at O hears an intensity of 6 W/m² when either S1 or S2 is sounde
Zanzabum

Answer:

The minimum frequency is 702.22 Hz

Explanation:

The two speakers are adjusted as attached in the figure. From the given data we know that

S_1 S_2=3m

S_1 O=4m

By Pythagoras theorem

                                 S_2O=\sqrt{(S_1S_2)^2+(S_1O)^2}\\S_2O=\sqrt{(3)^2+(4)^2}\\S_2O=\sqrt{9+16}\\S_2O=\sqrt{25}\\S_2O=5m

Now

The intensity at O when both speakers are on is given by

I=4I_1 cos^2(\pi \frac{\delta}{\lambda})

Here

  • I is the intensity at O when both speakers are on which is given as 6 W/m^2
  • I1 is the intensity of one speaker on which is 6  W/m^2
  • δ is the Path difference which is given as

                                           \delta=S_2O-S_1O\\\delta=5-4\\\delta=1 m

  • λ is wavelength which is given as

                                             \lambda=\frac{v}{f}

      Here

              v is the speed of sound which is 320 m/s.

              f is the frequency of the sound which is to be calculated.

                                  16=4\times 6 \times cos^2(\pi \frac{1 \times f}{320})\\16/24= cos^2(\pi \frac{1f}{320})\\0.667= cos^2(\pi \frac{f}{320})\\cos(\pi \frac{f}{320})=\pm0.8165\\\pi \frac{f}{320}=\frac{7 \pi}{36}+2k\pi \\ \frac{f}{320}=\frac{7 }{36}+2k \\\\ {f}=320 \times (\frac{7 }{36}+2k )

where k=0,1,2

for minimum frequency f_1, k=1

                                  {f}=320 \times (\frac{7 }{36}+2 \times 1 )\\\\{f}=320 \times (\frac{79 }{36} )\\\\ f=702.22 Hz

So the minimum frequency is 702.22 Hz

A 1232 kg car moving north at 25.6 m/s collides with a 2028 kg car moving north at 17.5 m/s . They stick together. In what direc
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

I. Angle = 41.7° Northeast.

II. Vr = 7.08m/s

Explanation:

Let the two cars be denoted by A and B

<u>Given the following data;</u>

Mass of car A = 1232 Kg

Velocity of car A = 25.6 m/s

Mass of car B = 2028 Kg

Velocity of car B = 17.5m/s

First of all, we would solve for momentum;

Momentum = mass × velocity

Momentum, M1 = 1232 × 25.6

Momentum, M1 = 31539.2 Kgm/s

Momentum, M2 = 2028 × 17.5

Momentum, M2 = 35490 Kgm/s

Now, let's find the resultant momentum using the Pythagoras theorem;

R² = M1² + M2²

R² = 31539.2² + 35490²

R² = 994721136.6 + 1259540100

R² = 2254261237

Taking the square root of both sides, we have

Resultant momentum, R = 47479.06 Kgm/s

To find the direction;

Angle = tan¯¹(M1/M2)

Angle = tan¯¹(31539.2/35490)

Angle = tan¯¹(0.89)

<em>Angle = 41.7° Northeast.</em>

To find the speed;

R = (M1 + M2)Vr

47479.06 = (31539.2 + 35490)Vr

47479.06 = 67029.2Vr

Vr = 47479.06/67029.2

<em>Vr = 7.08m/s</em>
