Answer:
Explanation:
We know that force acting on an object due to Earth's gravity on the surface is given by:
where g is the acceleration due to gravity, r would be radius of Earth, M is the mass of Earth and G is the gravitational constant.
It is given that at pole, g = 9.830 m/s² and r = 6371 km = 6371 × 10³ m
Hence, Earth's mass is
Answer:
(a) 1.85 m/s
(b) 4.1 m/s
Explanation:
Data
- initial bullet velocity, Vbi = 837 m/s
- wooden block mass, Mw = 820 g
- initial wooden block velocity, Vwi = 0 m/s
- final bullet velocity, Vbf = 467 m/s
(a) From the conservation of momentum:
Mb*Vbi + Mw*Vwi = Mb*Vbf + Mw*Vwf
Mb*(Vbi - Vbf)/Mw = Vwf
4.1*(837 - 467)/820 = Vwf
Vwf = 1.85 m/s
(b) The speed of the center of mass speed is calculated as follows:
V = Mb/(Mb + Mw) * Vbi
V = 4.1/(4.1 + 820) * 837
V = 4.1 m/s
Answer:
Acceleration is 0.25m/s^2
Explanation:
Given the following :
Speed = 0.5m/s
Radius(r) of circle = 1m
Acceleration round a circular path is given as :
a = v^2 / r
Where
a = acceleration of the body
v = speed / velocity
r = radius
Therefore,
a = v^2 / r
a = (0.5)^2 / 1
a = 0.25m/s^2
