Answer:

The gravitational acceleration experienced was of 1.63m/s².

Explanation:

We know, from the kinematics equations of vertical motion that:

v^{2} =v_0^2-2gy

Solving for g, we get:

g=-\frac{v^2-v_0^2}{2y}

Since the final speed is zero, because Neil Armstrong came to a stop in his maximum height, we obtain:

g=\frac{v_0^2}{2y}

Finally, we plug in the given values of the initial speed and the maximum height:

g=\frac{(1.51m/s)^2}{2(0.700m)}=1.63m/s^2

This means that the gravitational acceleration experienced by Neil Armstrong in the moon, was of 1.63m/s².

When you attract every object in the universe with a force that is proportional to the mass of the objects and to the distance b
yuradex [85]

When you attract every object in the universe with a force that is proportional to the mass of the objects and to the distance between them, we are obeying Newton's law of universal gravitation.

<h3>Newton's law of universal gravitation</h3>

Newton's law of universal gravitation states that the force of attraction between two masses in the universe is directly proportional to the product of the masses and inversely proportional to the the square of the distance between them.

The mathematical interpretation of the above law is

  • F ∝Mm/r²

Removing the proportionality sign,

  • F = GMm/r².

Where:

  • F = Force of attraction
  • G = Gravitational constant
  • M = Bigger mass
  • m = Smaller mass
  • r = Distance between the masses.

From the above, When you attract every object in the universe with a force that is proportional to the mass of the objects and to the distance between them, we are obeying Newton's law of universal gravitation.

A 500-N weight sits on the small piston of a hydraulic machine. The small piston has area 2.0 cm2. If the large piston has area
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

W₂= 10000 N

Explanation:

Pascal´s Principle can be applied in the hydraulic press:

If we apply a small force (F1) on a small area piston A1, then, a pressure (P) is generated that is transmitted equally to all the particles of the liquid until it reaches a larger area piston and therefore a force (F2) can be exerted that is proportional to the area (A2) of the piston:

Pressure is defined as the force (F) applied per unit area (A)

P=F/A   (N/m²)

P1=P2

\frac{F_{1} }{A_{1} } = \frac{F_{2} }{A_{2} }

F_{2} = \frac{F_{1}*A_{2}  }{A_{1}}  Equation (1)

Data

W₁ = weight sits on the small piston

F₁ = W₁= 500 N

A₁ = 2.0 cm²

A₂ = 40 cm²

Calculation of the weight  (W₂) can the large piston support

We replace data in the equation (1)

F_{2} = \frac{(500)*(40) }{2}

F₂ = 10000 N

W₂= F₂= 10000 N

-- pick a planet from the table

-- take it's mass and radius from the table, and plug them into the big ugly formula above the table

-- do the arithmetic with your pencil or your calculator. The answer is the acceleration of gravity on the planet you picked. Write it down so you don't lose it.

-- do the same for the other 3 planets in the table

While spinning down from 500 rpm to rest, a flywheel does 3.9 kj of work. this flywheel is in the shape of a solid uniform disk
Ksivusya [100]

 

The answer is 4.0 kg since the flywheel comes to rest the kinetic energy of the wheel in motion is spent doing the work. Using the formula KE = (1/2) I w².

Given the following:

I =  the moment of inertia about the axis passing through the center of the wheel; w = angular velocity ; for the solid disk as I = mr² / 2 so KE = (1/4) mr²w². Now initially, the wheel is spinning at 500 rpm so w = 500 * (2*pi / 60) rad / sec = 52.36 rad / sec.

The radius = 1.2 m and KE = 3900 J

3900 J = (1/4) m (1.2)² (52.36)²

m = 3900 J / (0.25) (1.2)² (52.36)²

m = 3.95151 ≈ 4.00 kg
