Answer:

a)    Fa = G m2 [M / r² - m / (d-r)²]  

b) r2 = 31 10⁶ m

Explanation:

The equation of the law of universal gravitation is

            F = G m1 m1/ r²

The value of the gravitation constant is 6.67 10-11 N m²/kg². This force is always attractive.

Let's calculate the value of that force on the spacecraft, add the strength

Earth's force to the ship

            F1 = G M m2 / r²

The moon force ship

            F2 = G m m2 / (d-r)²

Total force is

            Fa = F1 — F2

            Fa = G M M2 / r² - G m m2 / (d-r)²

            Fa = G m2 [M / r² - m / (d-r)²]

This is the force on the spaceship

b)  Let's look for the point where the force is zero, for this we can see that the value of the bracket must be zero

           Fa = 0

           [M / r² - m / (d-r)²] = 0

            M / r² = m / (d-r)²

           (d-r)² = m/M   r²

           d² -2rd + r² - m/M   r² = 0

           r² [m/M - 1] + r 2d - d² = 0

This is a second degree equation for r, we solve the to find the results.

           r = {-2d ±√[4d² - 4 [m/M -1] (-d²)]} / (2 [m/M-1])

           r = {-2d ± √ [4d² (1 + (m/M-1)]} / 2(m/M-1)

           r = {-2d ± 2d √(m/M)}  / (2(m/M-1))

           r = 2d {-1 ± √(m/M)} / 2(m/M-1)

           r = d [-1 ± √(m/M)] /  (m/M-1)

To find the explicit value we substitute the values ​​that we can find in tables

          m = 7.36 1022 kg

          M = 5.98 1024 kg

          d = 380000 km (1000m / 1 km) = 380 10⁶ m

          r = 380 10⁶ [-1 ±√(7.36 10²² / 5.98 10²⁴)] /(7.36 10²² / 5.98 / 10²⁴ -1)

          r = 380 10⁶ [-1 - √ (1.23 10²)] / (123-1)

          r = 380 106 [-1 ± 11] / 122

 

          r1 = 380 10⁶ 10/122 = 380 10⁶ 0.08197

          r1 =  31 10⁶ m

          r2 = 380 106 [-12/122] = 380 10 6 0.09836

          r2 = -37 10⁶ m

The correct distance is the positive r2 = 31 10⁶ m

c) let's use Newton's second law, to find the acceleration in the spacecraft

 

          F = m a

          a = Fa / m2 = G m2 [M / r² - m / (d-r)²] / m2

          a = G [M/r² - m/(d-r)²]

Since we have acceleration, we can use the definition of kinematics

           a = dv / dt = dv / dr dr / dt = dv / dr v

           v dv = a dr

           v dV = G [M /r² - m /(d-r)²] dr

We integrate

            ½ (V² - Vo²) = G [M (-1 /r) -m (1 / (d-r)

We evaluate between the initial point where we can assume that the initial velocity is zero for the Xo position and the final point with velocity v at the points

            V² = 2G [M (1 / Xo - 1 /X) - m (1 / (d-X) - 1 /(d-xo)]

            V² = [-M /X -m /(d-X)] 2G + constant

We now use the definition of speed

            v = dx / dt

            dx = V dt

We substitute, perform the integral and simplify, if we can make the constant zero

             dx = √([-M / X -m / (d-X)] 2G) dt

             dx / √([-M / X -m / (d-X)] 2G = dt

A uniform brick of length 21 m is placed over
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

15.75 m

Explanation:

First, let's look at the top brick by itself.  In order for it not to tip over the bottom brick, its center of gravity must be right at the edge of the bottom brick.  So the edge of the top brick must be 10.5 m from the edge of the bottom brick.

Now let's look at both bricks as a combined mass.  We know the total length of this combined brick is 10.5 m + 21 m = 31.5 m.  And we know that for it to not tip over the edge of the surface, its center of gravity must be at the edge.  So the edge of the combined brick must be 31.5 m / 2 = 15.75 m from the edge of the surface.

Suppose you were digging a well into saturated sediments. Why is the sediment’s permeability an important factor in deciding whe
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

The importance of the sediments permeability is that if it is permeable, water will flow easily through the sediment and thereby produce a very good supply of water for the well.

Explanation:

When digging a well into saturated sediments, the possibility of the sediment with either little saturation or full saturation being able to provide steady water supply will be limited by how permeable it is. Now, the importance of the sediments permeability is that if it is permeable, water will flow easily through the sediment and thereby produce a very good supply of water for the well.

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

T_s = 6.8 degree C

Explanation:

As per thermal radiation we know that rate is heat radiation is given as

\frac{dQ}{dt} = \sigma eA (T^4 - T_s^4)

here we know that

T = 34 degree C = 307 K

A = 1.38 m^2

e = 0.557

\sigma = 5.67 \times 10^{-8} W/m^2K^4

\frac{dQ}{dt} = 120 J/s

now we have

120 = (5.67 \times 10^{-8})(0.557)(1.38)(307^4 - T_s^4)

120 = (4.36 \times 10^{-8})(307^4 - T_s^4)

T_s = 279.8 K

T_s = 6.8 degree C
