Newton's First and Second Laws of Motion:Question 3Kepler-10b, the first confirmed terrestrial extrasolar planet, is about 564 l
OleMash [197]

Answer:

F = 85696.5 N = 85.69 KN

Explanation:

In this scenario, we apply Newton's Second Law:

Unbalanced\ Force = ma\\Upthrust - Weight\ of\ Space\ Craft = ma\\F - W = ma\\F - mg = ma\\F = m(g + a)\\

where,

F = Upthrust = ?

m = mass of space craft = 5000 kg

g = acceleration due to gravity on surface of Kepler-10b = (1.53)(9.81 m/s²)

g = 15.0093 m/s²

a = acceleration required = 2.13 m/s²

Therefore,

F = (5000\ kg)(15.0093\ m/s^{2} + 2.13\ m/s^{2})\\

<u>F = 85696.5 N = 85.69 KN</u>

A hammer strikes one end of a thick iron rail of length 8.80 m. A microphone located at the opposite end of the rail detects two
stepladder [879]

Answer:

ΔT = 0.02412 s

Explanation:

We will simply calculate the time for both the waves to travel through rail distance.

FOR THE TRAVELING THROUGH RAIL:

T_{rail} = \frac{Distance}{Speed\ of\ Sound\ in\ Rail}\\\\T_{rail} = \frac{8.8\ m}{5950\ m/s}\\\\T_{rail} = 0.00148\ s

FOR THE WAVE TRAVELING THROUGH AIR:

T_{air} = \frac{Distance}{Speed\ of\ Sound\ in\ Air}\\\\T_{air} = \frac{8.8\ m}{343\ m/s}\\\\T_{air} = 0.0256\ s

The separation in time between two pulses can now be given as follows:

\Delta T = T_{air}-T_{rail} \\\Delta T = 0.0256\ s - 0.00148\ s\\

<u>ΔT = 0.02412 s</u>

An acorn with a mass of 0.300 kilograms falls from a tree. What is its kinetic energy when it reaches a velocity of 5.oo m/s?
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer: 3.75 joules

Explanation:

Given that:

Mass of acorn = 0.300 kilograms

velocity = 5.oo m/s

Kinetic energy = ?

Since, kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a moving object, its value depends on the mass M and velocity V of the acorn.

Thus, Kinetic energy = 1/2 x mv^2

= 1/2 x 0.300kg x (5.00m/s)^2

= 0.5 x 0.3kg x (5.00m/s)^2

= 0.15 x (5.00m/s)^2

= 3.75 joules

Thus, the kinetic energy of the falling acorn is 3.75 joules
