Answer:

Explanation:

The weight of an object is 1/6 of the earth's weight in the moon

For example if your weight is 54 kg on earth,

Weight on moon=1/6 of 54=1/6 x 54 = 9kg

An asteroid orbits the Sun every 176 years. What is the asteroids average distance from the Sun? P ^ 2 = a ^ 3 where p = period

KatRina [158]

Answer:

The value is $x = 45.99 \ Au$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The period of the asteroid is $T = 176 \ years = 176 * 365 * 24 * 60* 60 = 5.55*10^{9}\ s$

Generally the average distance of the asteroid from the sun is mathematically represented as

$R = \sqrt[3]{ \frac{G M * T^2 }{4 \pi} }$

Here M is the mass of the sun with a value

$M = 1.99*10^{30} \ kg$

G is the gravitational constant with value $G = 6.67 *10^{-11} \ m^3 \cdot kg^{-1} \cdot s^{-2}$

$R = \sqrt[3]{ \frac{6.67 *10^{-11} * 1.99*10^{30} * [5.55 *10^{9}]^2 }{4 * 3.142 } }$

=> $R = 6.88 *10^{12} \ m$

Generally

$1.496* 10^{11} \ m \to 1 Au (Astronomical \ unit )$

$R = 6.88 *10^{12} \ m \ \ \ \ \to \ \ x \ Au$

=> $x = \frac{6.88 *10^{12}}{1.496 *10^{11}}$

=> $x = 45.99 \ Au$

A 1640 kg merry-go-round with a radius of 7.50 m accelerates from rest to a rate of 1.00 revolution per 8.00 s. Estimate the mer

son4ous [18]

Solution :

Given data :

Mass of the merry-go-round, m= 1640 kg

Radius of the merry-go-round, r = 7.50 m

Angular speed, $\omega = \frac{1}{8}$ rev/sec

$=\frac{2 \pi \times 7.5}{8}$ rad/sec

= 5.89 rad/sec

Therefore, force required,

$F=m.\omega^2.r$

$$$=1640 \times (5.89)^2 \times 7.5$

= 427126.9 N

Thus, the net work done for the acceleration is given by :

W = F x r

= 427126.9 x 7.5

= 3,203,451.75 J

A wire along the z axis carries a current of 4.9 A in the z direction Find the magnitude and direction of the force exerted on a

AURORKA [14]

Answer:

<h2>0.069 N, in the X direction</h2>

Explanation:

According to Flemming's left hand rule, it sates that if the first three fingers of the left hand are held mutually at right angles to one another, the fore finger will point in the direction of magnetic field, the middle finger will point in direction of current, while the thumb will point to the direction of force.

Mathematically the law is stated as

F= BIL

given data

Magnetic field B= 0.43T

Current I= 4.9 A

length of conductor L= 3.3cm to meter , 3.3/100= 0.033 m

Applying the formula the force is calculated as

F= 0.43*4.9* 0.033= 0.069 N

According to Flemming's rule the direction of all parameters are mutually perpendicular to one another, then the Force is in the X direction

An acorn with a mass of 0.300 kilograms falls from a tree. What is its kinetic energy when it reaches a velocity of 5.oo m/s?

vladimir1956 [14]

Answer: 3.75 joules

Explanation:

Given that:

Mass of acorn = 0.300 kilograms

velocity = 5.oo m/s

Kinetic energy = ?

Since, kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a moving object, its value depends on the mass M and velocity V of the acorn.

Thus, Kinetic energy = 1/2 x mv^2

= 1/2 x 0.300kg x (5.00m/s)^2

= 0.5 x 0.3kg x (5.00m/s)^2

= 0.15 x (5.00m/s)^2

= 3.75 joules

Thus, the kinetic energy of the falling acorn is 3.75 joules
