How are size and mass of the moon different from that of the earth?

Physics
1 answer:
Elodia [21]3 years ago

<span>The diameter of the Moon is 3,474 km. Now, let's compare this to the Earth. The diameter of the Earth is 12,742 km. This means that the Moon is approximately 27% the size of the Earth.</span>

In a large centrifuge used for training pilots and astronauts, a small chamber is fixed at the end of a rigid arm that rotates i
RSB [31]

a) The length of the arm of the centrifuge is 10.9 m

b) The angular acceleration is 2.7 rad/s^2

Explanation:

a)

In a uniform circular motion, the centripetal acceleration is given by

a_c=\omega^2 r

where:

\omega is the angular speed of the circular motion

r is the radius of the circle

For the centrifuge in this problem, we have:

\omega=1.7 rad/s is the angular speed

The centripetal acceleration is 3.2 times the acceleration due to gravity (g=9.8 m/s^2), so:

a_c=3.2 g = 3.2(9.8)=31.4 m/s^2

Therefore, we can re-arrange the previous equation to find r, the radius of the circle (which corresponds to the length of the arm of the centrifuge):

r=\frac{a_c}{\omega^2}=\frac{31.4}{1.7^2}=10.9 m

b)

In the second part of the exercise, the centrifuge speeds up from an initial angular speed of 0 to a final angular speed of 1.7 rad/s. The total acceleration experienced at the final moment is

a=4.4 g

So, 4.4 times the acceleration due to gravity.

The total acceleration is the resultant of the centripetal acceleration (a_c) and the tangential acceleration (a_t):

a=\sqrt{a_c^2+a_t^2}

We know that:

a = 4.4g

a_c = 3.2 g

So, we can find the tangential acceleration:

a_t = \sqrt{a^2-a_c^2}=\sqrt{(4.4g)^2-(3.2g)^2}=29.6 m/s^2

The angular acceleration is related to the tangential acceleration by

\alpha = \frac{a_t}{r}

where r = 10.9 m is the length of the centrifuge. Substituting,

\alpha = \frac{29.6}{10.9}=2.7 rad/s^2

State the law of conservation of energy​
storchak [24]

Answer:

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. ... For instance, chemical energy is converted to kinetic energy when a stick of dynamite explodes.

If a machine will do 50 J of work in 35 seconds how much power did it produce?
grandymaker [24]
Power is the amount of work done over a period of time. If you will put that into an equation, the formula of power will be:

P = W/t
Where:
P = power
W=work
t = time

Your problem already provides you with work and time so all you need to do is divide:

P = W/t
P = 50J/30s
P = 1.67 W
