In the far future, astronauts travel to the planet Saturn and land on Mimas, one of its 62 moons. Mimas is small compared with t

he Earth's moon, with mass Mm = 3.75 ✕ 1019 kg and radius Rm = 1.98 ✕ 105 m, giving it a free-fall acceleration of g = 0.0636 m/s2. One astronaut, being a baseball fan and having a strong arm, decides to see how high she can throw a ball in this reduced gravity. She throws the ball straight up from the surface of Mimas at a speed of 41 m/s (about 91.7 mph, the speed of a good major league fastball).
(a) Predict the maximum height of the ball assuming g is constant and using energy conservation. Mimas has no atmosphere, so there is no air resistance.
(b) Now calculate the maximum height using universal gravitation.
(c) How far off is your estimate of part (a)? Express your answer as a percent difference and indicate if the estimate is too high or too low.

Answer:

a) h = 13,205.4 m

b)  r_f = 2.12 106 m

c)        e% = 0.68%

Explanation:

a) This is an exercise we are asked to use energy conservation,

Starting point. On the surface of Mimas

        Em₀ = K = ½ m v²

Final point. Where the ball stops

       Em_{f} = U = m g h

        Em₀ = Em_{f}

        ½ m v² = m g h

         h = ½ v² / g

let's calculate

         h = ½ 41² / 0.0636

         h = 13,205.4 m

b) For this part we are asked to use the law of universal gravitation, write the energy

starting point. Satellite surface

           Em₀ = K + U = ½ m v² - GmM / r_o

final point. Where the ball stops

            Em_{f}= U = - G mM / r_f

          Em₀ = Em_{f}

          ½ m v² - G m M / r_o = - G mM / r_f

In this case all distances are measured from the center of the satellite

         1 / rf = 1 / GM (-½ v² + G M / r_o)

     

let's calculate

         1 / rf = 1 / (6.67 10⁻¹¹ 3.75 10¹⁹) (- ½ 41 2 + 6.67 10⁻¹¹ 3.75 10¹⁹ / 1.98 105)

         1 / r_f = 3,998 10⁻¹¹(-840.5 + 12.63 10³)

          1 / r_f = 4,714 10⁻⁷

          r_f = 1 / 4,715 10⁻⁷

          r_f = 2.12 106 m

to measure this distance from the satellite surface

          r_f ’= r_f - r_o

          r_f ’= 2.12 106 - 1.98 105

         r_f ’= 1,922 106 m

c) the percentage difference is

          e% = 13 205.4 / 1,922 106 100

          e% = 0.68%

The estimate of part a is a little low

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a noninvasive technique used to stimulate regions of the human brain. A small coil is
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

0.125 volts

Explanation:

The induced emf can be sufficient to stimulate neuronal activity.

One such device generates a magnetic field within the brain that rises from zero to 1.5 T in 120 ms.

We need to find the induced emf within a circle of tissue of radius 1.6 mm and that is perpendicular to the direction of the field. The formula for the induced emf is given by :

\epsilon=-\dfrac{d\phi}{dt}

Where

\phi is magnetic flux

So,

\epsilon=-\dfrac{d(BA)}{dt}\\\\=2\pi r\times \dfrac{dB}{dt}\\\\=2\pi \times 1.6\times 10^{-3}\times \dfrac{1.5-0}{120\times 10^{-3}}\\\\=0.125\ V

So, the induced emf is equal to 0.125 volts.

Kyle has a mass of 54kg and is moving at 3 m/s what is his kinetic energy
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

243J

Explanation:

K.E = 1/2 x 54 x 3^2

K.E = 1/2 x 54 x 9

K.E = 1/2 x 486

K.E = 486/2

K.E = 243J

A proton initially at rest is accelerated by a uniform electric field. The proton moves 5.62 cm in 1.15 x 10^-6 s. Find the volt
krok68 [10]

Answer:

49.85 V

Explanation:

u = 0, s = 5.62 cm, t = 1.15 x 10^-6 s

Let the electric field is E and voltage is V.

Use second equation of motion

s = ut + 1/2 a t^2

5.62 x 10^-2 = 0 + 0.5 a x (1.15 x 10^-6)^2

a = 8.5 x 10^10 m/s^2

m x a = q x E

E = m x a / q

E = (1.67 x 10^-27 x 8.5 x 10^10) / (1.6 x 10^-19)

E = 887.19 V/m

V = E x s

V = 887.19 x 5.62 x 10^-2 = 49.85 V
