Answer:

The magnitude of the free-fall acceleration at the orbit of the Moon is 2.728\times 10^{-3}\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} (\frac{2.784}{10000}\cdot g, where g = 9.8\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}).

Explanation:

According to the Newton's Law of Gravitation, free fall acceleration (g), in meters per square second, is directly proportional to the mass of the Earth (M), in kilograms, and inversely proportional to the distance from the center of the Earth (r), in meters:

g = \frac{G\cdot M}{r^{2}} (1)

Where:

G - Gravitational constant, in cubic meters per kilogram-square second.

M - Mass of the Earth, in kilograms.

r - Distance from the center of the Earth, in meters.

If we know that G = 6.674\times 10^{-11}\,\frac{m^{3}}{kg\cdot s^{2}}, M = 5.972\times 10^{24}\,kg and r = 382.26\times 10^{6}\,m, then the free-fall acceleration at the orbit of the Moon is:

g = \frac{\left(6.674\times 10^{-11}\,\frac{m^{3}}{kg\cdot s^{2}} \right)\cdot (5.972\times 10^{24}\,kg)}{(382.26\times 10^{6}\,m)^{2}}

g = 2.728\times 10^{-3}\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}

kvasek [131]

Answer:

t = 106π / 30*2.1

Explanation:

w_{i} = 1.06*10^{2}    => 106

    => 106 x 2π/60

    => 106/30π

∝ = -2.1 rad/sec²

w_{f} => 0

w_{f} = w_{i} + ∝t

∴ (w_{f} - w_{i}) / ∝ = t

t = 106π / 30*2.1

Robin Hood wishes to split an arrow already in the bull's-eye of a target 40 m away.
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

5.843 m

Explanation:

suppose that the arrow leave the bow with a horizontal speed , towards he bull's eye.

lets consider that horizontal motion

distance = speed * time

time = 40/ 37 = 1.081 s

arrow doesnot have a initial vertical velocity component. but it has a vertical motion due to gravity , which may cause a miss of the target.

applying motion equation

(assume g = 10 m/s²)

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}*gt^{2}  \\= 0+\frac{1}{2}*10*1.081^{2}\\= 5.843 m

Arrow misses the target by 5.843m ig the arrow us split horizontally
