1 answer:
Answer:
The value in Newton is
The value in pounds is
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The mass of the spacecraft is
The distance above the earth is
Generally the gravitational force with respect to the earth is mathematically represented as
Here is the mass of earth with value
is the radius of the earth with value
G is the gravitational constant with value
So
Converting to pounds

Answer:
v = 0.41 m/s
Explanation:
- In this case, the change in the mechanical energy, is equal to the work done by the fricition force on the block.
- At any point, the total mechanical energy is the sum of the kinetic energy plus the elastic potential energy.
- So, we can write the following general equation, taking the initial and final values of the energies:
- Since the block and spring start at rest, the change in the kinetic energy is just the final kinetic energy value, Kf.
- ⇒ Kf = 1/2*m*vf² (2)
- The change in the potential energy, can be written as follows:
where k = force constant = 815 N/m
xf = final displacement of the block = 0.01 m (taking as x=0 the position
for the spring at equilibrium)
x₀ = initial displacement of the block = 0.03 m
- Regarding the work done by the force of friction, it can be written as follows:
where μk = coefficient of kinettic friction, Fn = normal force, and Δx =
horizontal displacement.
- Since the surface is horizontal, and no acceleration is present in the vertical direction, the normal force must be equal and opposite to the force due to gravity, Fg:
- Fn = Fg= m*g (5)
- Replacing (5) in (4), and (3) and (4) in (1), and rearranging, we get:
- Replacing by the values of m, k, g, xf and x₀, in (7) and solving for v, we finally get:
Answer:
each resistor is 540 Ω
Explanation:
Let's assign the letter R to the resistance of the three resistors involved in this problem. So, to start with, the three resistors are placed in parallel, which results in an equivalent resistance defined by the formula:
Therefore, R/3 is the equivalent resistance of the initial circuit.
In the second circuit, two of the resistors are in parallel, so they are equivalent to:
and when this is combined with the third resistor in series, the equivalent resistance () of this new circuit becomes the addition of the above calculated resistance plus the resistor R (because these are connected in series):
The problem states that the difference between the equivalent resistances in both circuits is given by:
so, we can replace our found values for the equivalent resistors (which are both in terms of R) and solve for R in this last equation:
