Answer:

1.23×10⁸ m

Explanation:

Acceleration due to gravity is:

a = GM / r²

where G is the universal gravitational constant,

M is the mass of the planet,

and r is the distance from the center of the planet to the object.

When the object is on the surface of the Earth, a = g and r = R.

g = GM / R²

When the object is at height i above the surface, a = 1/410 g and r = i + R.

1/410 g = GM / (i + R)²

Divide the first equation by the second:

g / (1/410 g) = (GM / R²) / (GM / (i + R)²)

410 = (i + R)² / R²

410 R² = (i + R)²

410 R² = i² + 2iR + R²

0 = i² + 2iR − 409R²

Solve with quadratic formula:

i = [ -2R ± √((2R)² − 4(1)(-409R²)) ] / 2(1)

i = [ -2R ± √(1640R²) ] / 2

i = (-2R ± 2R√410) / 2

i = -R ± R√410

i = (-1 ± √410) R

Since i > 0:

i = (-1 + √410) R

R = 6.37×10⁶ m:

i ≈ 1.23×10⁸ m

Two carts, one of mass 2m and one of mass m, approach each other with the same speed, v. When the carts collide, they
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer: Graph C is the correct option

Explanation:

The question is incomplete, please remember to submit the whole question :)

However, the rest of the question with its corresponding figures is below:

Assume that positive momentum is to the right, which of the following best represents the momentum of the cart of mass m as a function of time before and after the collision?

The initial momentum p_{o} of the cart with mass m (before the collision) is:

p_{o}=-mV (1) Note the negative sign indicates the direction of cart's velocity (to the left, as seen in the first image attached)

On the other hand, the final momentum p_{f} of both carts (after the inelastic collision) is:

p_{f}=(2m+m) V_{f}=3m V_{f} (2)

So, according to this, the correct graph tha best represents the situation is C. Since before the collision the momentum is negative, then both carts slow down after the collision (V_{f}), and taking into account the linear momentum is directly proportional to the velocity p_{f} (although is in the positive direction) is less than p_{o}.

The normal force is the supporting force that is exerted on an object that is in contact with another stable object.

Answer: Option C

<u>Explanation: </u>

Normal force is forward or upward pushing force acting on an object. Mostly the normal force acts as supporting force exerted on the object by the neighbouring stable object with which the object in question is in contact. So normal force falls under the category of contact forces.

Generally, normal force will be acting to support the weight of any object placed on another object. The best examples of normal forces are the weight of the book supported by table or by the pushing force of the wall on the person leaning on the wall.
