. How many times higher could an astronaut jump on the Moon than on Earth if her takeoff speed is the same in both locations (gr

avitational acceleration on the Moon is about on-sixth of that on Earth)?
1) On the Moon, the jump height is about 3 times higher than on Earth.
2) On the Moon, the jump height is about 6 times higher than on Earth.
3) On the Moon, the jump height is about 36 times higher than on Earth.
4) On the Moon, the jump height is more than on Earth by about a times.

Answer:

On the Moon, the jump height is about 6 times higher than on Earth.

Explanation:

The maximum height reached by an object is given by the formula as follows :

H=\dfrac{v^2}{2g}

v is the speed of object

g is acceleration due to gravity on Earth's surface

If g' is acceleration on surface of Moon, g' = g/6

Let H' is the height reached by object on Moon, then,

H'=\dfrac{v^2}{2g'}\\\\H'=\dfrac{v^2}{2\times \dfrac{g}{6}}\\\\H'=6\times \dfrac{v^2}{2g}\\\\H'=6H

On the Moon, the jump height is about 6 times higher than on Earth. Hence, the correct option is (2).

defon

PART A) Yes, the fact that there is a frictional force acting on the satellite generates a loss of energy due to friction. What causes satellite to diminish its orbit during its tour. In fact, many satellites have rectifier systems that allow them to position themselves and remain in their orbit for a long time to avoid being trapped by the Earth's gravity Force and fall into the atmosphere where they would probably be torn apart.

PART B) As a similarity, one could start by mentioning the structure of the two equations are similar and have their own constants who were responsible for supporting them. While the law of gravity speaks of the masses of the bodies the electrostatic law speaks of the charges of the bodies. For both the force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance that separates them.

However, the most notable difference between them is basically their statement. While one of the equations speaks about greavedad the other reflects the electromagnetic phenomena. It should be noted that the force of gravity is much weaker than the electromagnetic force and that the latter has the capacity of attraction and repulsion. While the gravitational force only that of attraction.

A 90kg person jumps from a 30m tower into a tub of water with a volume of 5m3 initially at 20°C. Assuming that all of the work d
Kryger [21]

Answer:

T₂ = 20.06 ° C

Explanation:

Given

P = 90 kg,  T₁ = 20 ° C,  h = 30 m,  c = 1.82 kJ / Kg * ° C

Using the formula to determine the final temperature of the water

T₂ = T₁ * P * h / Eₐ * c

The work done of the person to the water

Eₐ = 1000 kg / m³ * 5 m³ * 9.8 m / s²

Eₐ = 49000 N

T₂ = 20 ° C +[ (90 kg * 30m) / (49000 N * 1.82) ]

T₂ = 20.06 ° C

Find the voltage across the 15 Q resistor.<br> [?] V<br><br> No links please
Margaret [11]

Answer:

Explanation:

same idea as before Liam,  first, find the parallel resistance in 35 || 20

(35*20)  / (35+20)  = 700 / 55  = 12.727272 ohms

now add the  12.727272 + 15 = 27.727272 ohms total resistance

V = IR

10 = I *    27.727272

10 / 27.727272 = I

0.360655 = I

V = IR  (again, but across the 15 ohm resistor)

V =     0.360655 * 15      

V = 5.4098
