Three different units of energy is

1. Joule: is is SI unit of measuring thermal energy or heat

2. Calorie: this system of energy is used when we take CGS system of mass and specific heat capacity

3. BTU: this system is known as british thermal unit which is used in measuring engineering calculations

On the way to the moon, the Apollo astronauts reach a point where the Moon’s gravitational pull is stronger than that of Earth’s
Drupady [299]

Answer:

rm = 38280860.6[m]

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using Newton's universal gravitation law.

In the attached image we can find a schematic of the locations of the Earth and the moon and that the sum of the distances re plus rm will be equal to the distance given as initial data in the problem rt = 3.84 × 108 m

r_{e} = distance earth to the astronaut [m].\\r_{m} = distance moon to the astronaut [m]\\r_{t} = total distance = 3.84*10^8[m]

Now the key to solving this problem is to establish a point of equalisation of both forces, i.e. the point where the Earth pulls the astronaut with the same force as the moon pulls the astronaut.

Mathematically this equals:

F_{e} = F_{m}\\F_{e} =G*\frac{m_{e} *m_{a}}{r_{e}^{2}  } \\

F_{m} =G*\frac{m_{m}*m_{a}  }{r_{m} ^{2} } \\where:\\G = gravity constant = 6.67*10^{-11}[\frac{N*m^{2} }{kg^{2} } ] \\m_{e}= earth's mass = 5.98*10^{24}[kg]\\ m_{a}= astronaut mass = 100[kg]\\m_{m}= moon's mass = 7.36*10^{22}[kg]

When we match these equations the masses cancel out as the universal gravitational constant

G*\frac{m_{e} *m_{a} }{r_{e}^{2}  } = G*\frac{m_{m} *m_{a} }{r_{m}^{2}  }\\\frac{m_{e} }{r_{e}^{2}  } = \frac{m_{m} }{r_{m}^{2}  }

To solve this equation we have to replace the first equation of related with the distances.

\frac{m_{e} }{r_{e}^{2}  } = \frac{m_{m} }{r_{m}^{2} } \\\frac{5.98*10^{24} }{(3.84*10^{8}-r_{m}  )^{2}  } = \frac{7.36*10^{22}  }{r_{m}^{2} }\\81.25*r_{m}^{2}=r_{m}^{2}-768*10^{6}* r_{m}+1.47*10^{17}  \\80.25*r_{m}^{2}+768*10^{6}* r_{m}-1.47*10^{17} =0

Now, we have a second-degree equation, the only way to solve it is by using the formula of the quadratic equation.

r_{m1,2}=\frac{-b+- \sqrt{b^{2}-4*a*c }  }{2*a}\\  where:\\a=80.25\\b=768*10^{6} \\c = -1.47*10^{17} \\replacing:\\r_{m1,2}=\frac{-768*10^{6}+- \sqrt{(768*10^{6})^{2}-4*80.25*(-1.47*10^{17}) }  }{2*80.25}\\\\r_{m1}= 38280860.6[m] \\r_{m2}=-2.97*10^{17} [m]

We work with positive value

rm = 38280860.6[m] = 38280.86[km]

Explain why pulleys are in the lever family.
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

The leverage or mechanical advantage of pulleys is less obvious, but you can "gang" multiple pulleys together into two sets (blocks) and run the ropes back and forth between the two sets to increase the number of lengths of rope running between them. One end of the rope is connected (fixed) to one of the blocks, and you get to pull on the other end after it is passed back and forth between the blocks of pulleys. This is sometimes called a block and tackle arrangement. With a hook on each side of the block set, you can move a heavy load much like levers do, by multiplying the force. You have to pull more rope just like you have to move a lever more on one side of the fulcrum as compared to the other. When you get all the rope pulled out that you can, you can not move the load anymore because you have become "two-blocked" which means the two blocks are together. Credits to: Moin Khan

what do you think is the purpose of a periscope? Are there any other uses for periscopes besides for submarines?
spin [16.1K]

Military personnel also use periscopes in some gun turrets and in armoured vehicles. More complex periscopes using prisms or advanced fibre optics instead of mirrors and providing magnification operate on submarines and in various fields of science

The planet Saturn has a mass that is 95 times Earth's mass and a radius that is 9.4 times Earth's radius. What is the accelerati
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

10.55111 m/s²

Explanation:

M = Mass of Saturn = 95\times 5.972\times 10^{24}\ kg

r = Radius of Saturn = 9.4\times 6.371\times 10^6\ m

G = Gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²

Acceleration due to gravity is given by

g=\dfrac{GM}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow g=\dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 95\times 5.972\times 10^{24}}{(9.4\times 6.371\times 10^6)^2}\\\Rightarrow g=10.55111\ m/s^2

The acceleration due to gravity on Saturn is 10.55111 m/s²
