How are the sun and Earth's moon different?(2 points)

1 answer:

4 0

Answer: The Sun measures 1.4 million km across, while the Moon is a mere 3,474 km across. In other words, the Sun is roughly 400 times larger than the Moon. But the Sun also happens to be 400 times further away than the Moon, and this has created an amazing coincidence.

svetlana [45]

Let's call $m=565~g=0.565~kg$ the mass of the glider and $m_w=7\cdot12~g =84~g=0.084~kg$ the total mass of the seven washers hanging from the string.
The net force on the system is given by the weight of the hanging washers:
$F_{net} = m_w g$
For Newton's second law, this net force is equal to the product between the total mass of the system (which is $m+m_w$ ) and the acceleration a:
$F_{net}=(m+m_w)a$
So, if we equalize the two equations, we get
$m_w g = (m+m_w)a$
and from this we can find the acceleration:
$a= \frac{m_w g}{(m+m_w)} = \frac{0.084~kg \cdot 9.81~m/s^2}{(0.565~kg+0.084~kg)}=1.27~m/s^2$

On a part-time job, you are asked to bring a cylindrical iron rod of density 7800 kg/m3, length 88.8 cm and diameter 2.30 cm fro

vichka [17]

Answer:

w = 28.25 N

Explanation:

To do this, we need to use two expressions.

First, to calculate the weight of any object, we use the 2nd law of newton. In this case, the weight is:

w = m*g (1)

However we do not have the mass of the rod. We need to calculate that. To calculate the mass, we'll use the expression of density which is:

d = m/V

From here, we solve for mass:

m = d * V (2)

Finally, we can know the volume of the rod, because is cylindrical, therefore, the volume of a cylinder is:

V = π * r² * h (3)

So, in resume, we need to solve for the volume of the rod, then, the mass ans finally the weight. Let's calculate the volume of the rod, converting the units of centimeter to meters, just dividing by 100:

diameter = 2.3 cm ---> radius = 2.3/2 = 1.15 cm -----> 0.0115 m

Length or height = 88.8 cm ----> 0.888 m

Replacing in (3):

V = π * (0.0115)² * 0.888

V = 3.69x10⁻⁴ m

Now, let's use (2) to calculate the mass:

m = 7800 * 3.69x10⁻⁴

m = 2.88 kg

Finally for the weight, we'll use expression (1):

w = 2.88 * 9.81

<h2>w = 28.25 N</h2><h2>And this is the weight of the rod.</h2>
