-- What's the volume of a cylinder with radius=1m and height=55m ?

   ( Volume of a cylinder = π R² h )

-- How much does that volume of water weigh ?

    1 liter of water = 1 kilogram of mass
Weight = (mass) x (acceleration of gravity)

-- What's the area of the bottom of that 1m-radius cylinder ?

   Pressure = (force) / (area)

Assuming a roughly spherical shape and a density of 4000 kg/m3, estimate the diameter of an asteroid having the average mass of

vredina [299]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Density of asteroid, $\rho=4000\ kg/m^3$

Mass of asteroid, $m=10^{17}\ kg$

We need to find the diameter of the asteroid. The formula of density is given by:

$\rho=\dfrac{m}{V}$

V is the volume of spherical shaped asteroid, $V=\dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3$

$r^3=\dfrac{3M}{4\pi \rho}$

$r^3=\dfrac{3\times 10^{17}\ kg}{4\pi \times 4000\ kg/m^3}$

$r^3=\sqrt{5.96\times 10^{12}}$

r = 2441311.12 m

Diameter = 2 × radius

d = 4882622.24 m

$d=4.88\times 10^6\ m$

Hence, this is the required solution.

What is the difference in the pitch when you are in front of the car compared to behind the car?

IceJOKER [234]

Answer:The Doppler effect is a change in the frequency of sound waves that occurs when the source of the sound waves is moving relative to a stationary listener.

As the source of sound waves approaches a listener, the sound waves get closer together, increasing their frequency and the pitch of the sound. The opposite happens when the source of sound waves moves away from the listener.

If gravity did not affect the pain of a horizontally thrown ball the ball would

Drupady [299]

If gravity had no effect on a ball after you threw it ... and there also
were no air to slow it down ... then the ball would continue traveling
in a straight line, in whatever direction you threw it.

That's the heart and soul of Newton's laws of motion ... any object
keeps moving at the same speed, and in a straight line in the same
direction, until a force acts on it to change its speed or direction.\

If you threw the ball horizontally, then it would keep moving in the
same direction you threw it. But don't forget: The Earth is not flat.
The Earth is a sphere. So, as the ball kept going farther and farther
in the same straight line, the Earth would curve away from it, and it
would look like the ball is getting farther and farther from the ground.

A 20-kg sled is being pulled along the horizontal snow-covered ground by a horizontal force of 26 n. starting from rest, the sle

Vesna [10]

Good morning.

We calculate the acceleration with the <em>Torricelli equation</em>:

$\star\ \boxed{\mathsf{V^2 = V_0^2 + 2a\Delta S}}$

We see that:

$\begin{cases}\mathsf{V_0 = 0}\\\mathsf{V = 2.3 \ m/s}\\\mathsf{\Delta S = 8.9 \ m}\end{cases}$

Now:

$\mathsf{(2.3)^2 = 0^2 + 2a\cdot 8.9}\\ \\ \mathsf{5.29 = 17.8a}\\ \\ \bold{\mathsf{a = 0.3 \ m/s^2}}$

Now we can calculate the resultant force that makes that acceleration of 0.3 m/s² with the 2nd Law of Newton:

$\mathsf{F_r = m\cdot a}\\ \\ \mathsf{F_r = 20\cdot 0.3}\\ \\ \mathsf{F_r = 6 \ N}$

We have a force of 26 N → and a friction force F ←. Adding those vectors, he have a force 6 N →. Therefore:

26 - F = 6

F = 20 N

We have a friction force of 20 N. We calculate the kinect coefficient with the formula:

$\star \ \boxed{\mathsf{F = \mu_k N}}$

Since we are in a horizontal plane, we hava that N = P = mg = 200 N

Therefore:

$\mathsf{20 = \mu_k 200}\\ \\ \boxed{\boxed{\mathsf{\mu_k = 0.1}}}$
