When a falling meteoroid is at a distance above the Earth's surface of 3.40 times the Earth's radius, what is its acceleration d

Alchen [17]

Answer:

g = 0.85 m $s^{-2}$

Explanation:

g = $\frac{GM}{h^{2} }$

were; g is the acceleration due to Earth's gravity, G is Newton's gravitation constant (6.674 x $10^{-11}$ N $m^{2}$ $kg^{-2}$ ), M is the mass of the earth (5.972 x $10^{24}$ kg), and h is the distance of meteoroid to the earth.

h = 3.40 x R

= 3.40 x 6371 km

h = 21661.4 km

= 21661400 m

Thus,

g = $\frac{6.674*10^{-11}*5.972*10^{24} }{(21661400)^{2} }$

= $\frac{3.9857 *10^{14} }{4.6922*10^{14} }$

= 0.84944

g = 0.85 m $s^{-2}$

The acceleration due to the Earth's gravitation is 0.85 m $s^{-2}$ .

Give an example in which a small force exerts a large torque. give another example in which a large force exerts a small torque.

goldenfox [79]

<span>Since the torque involves the product of force times lever arm, a small force can exert a greater torque than a larger force if the small force has a large enough lever arm.

With a large force exerts a small torque is a gate, hinged in its vertical line (axis). When pushed from a point near to the hinge, a very large amount is needed to open the gate.

After driving a portion of the route, the taptap is fully loaded with a total of 27 people including the driver, with an average

lara [203]

Answer:

compression of spring is x = 0.12 m

Assumed k = 160,000 N/m ........ Truck's suspension system

Explanation:

Given:

- The mass of average person m_p = 69 kg

- Total number of persons n_p = 27

- The mass of each goat m_g = 15 kg

- The total number of goats n_g = 3

- The mass of each chicken m_c = 3 kg

- The total number of goats n_c = 5

- The total mass of bananas m_b = 25 kg

Find:

How much are the springs compressed?

Solution:

- Using equilibrium equation on the taptap in vertical direction:

F_net = F_spring - F_weight = 0

- Compute the force due to all the weights on the taptap:

F_weight = (n_p*m_p + n_g*m_g + n_c*m_c + m_b)*9.81

F_weight = (69*27 + 3*15 + 5*3 + 25)*9.81

F_weight = 19109.88 N

- The restoring force of a spring is given by:

F_spring = k*x

Where, k is the spring stiffness and x is the displacement:

F_weight = F_spring

19109.88 = k*x

x = 19109.88 / k

We need to assume the spring stiffness we will take k = 160,0000 N/m (trucks suspension systems). The value of the stiffness must be high enough to sustain a load of 1.911 tonnes.

x = 19109.88 / 160,000

x = 0.1194 m ≈ 0.12 m = 12 cm

- A compression of 12 cm seems reasonable for a taptap to carry 1.911 tonnes of load. Hence, the assumption of spring stiffness was reasonable. Hence, the compression of spring is x = 0.12 m.

a crane lifts four pallets of bricks each of which weigh 5000 N. the crane lifts each pallet a height of 30m. the crane takes 4

love history [14]

Answer:

625 W

Explanation:

Applying

P = W/t.................... Equation 1

Where p = power, W = Work, t = time

But,

W = Force (F) × distance (d)

W = Fd........................ Equation 2

Substitute equation 2 into equation 1

P = Fd/t.................... Equation 3

From the question,

Given: F = 5000 N, d = 30 m, t = 4 munites = (4×60) seconds = 240 seconds

Substitute these values into equation 3

P = (5000×30)/240

P = 625 Watt
