Answer:

7.36 × 10^22 kg

Explanation:

Mass of the man = 90kg

Weight on the moon = 146N

radius of the moon =1.74×10^6

Weight =mg

g= weight/mass

g= 146/90 = 1.62m/s^2

From the law of gravitational force

g = GM/r^2

Where G = 6.67 ×10^-11

M = gr^2/G

M= 1.62 × (1.74×10^6)^2/6.67×10^-11

= 4.904×10^12/6.67×10^-11

=0.735×10^23

M= 7.35×10^22kg. (approximately) with option c

Answer: c) 7.36 x 10^(22) kg

The mass of the moon is 7.36 x 10^(22) kg

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the man on the moon, m=90kg

weight of the man on the moon, W=146 N,

radius of the moon, r=1.74×10^6 m.

Weight is the interaction of the mass and the gravity, so

W=mg.

g = W/m

Substituting the given values, we can find the gravity

g = 146/90 = 1.622m/s2

The acceleration due to gravity is the strength of moon's gravitational field, so

g=GM/r^2

M = gr^2/G ......2

where G is gravitational constant.

G = 6.67 × 10^-11

Substituting the values into eqn2, we have

M = 1.622 × (1.74×10^6)^2/6.67 ×10^-11

M = 7.362 × 10^22kg

M = 7.36 × 10^22kg

The potential energy of a watermelon is 15.0 J. The watermelon is 3.0 m high. What is the mass of the watermelon?

maks197457 [2]

Answer:

m = 0.51[kg]

Explanation:

Potential energy is defined as the product of mass by gravity by height.

$E_{pot}=m*g*h$

where:

Epot = potential energy = 15 [J]

m = mass [kg]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.8 [m/s²]

h = elevation = 3 [m]

Now replacing:

$E_{pot}=m*g*h\\15=m*9.8*3\\m = 0.51[kg]$

A race car makes one lap around a track of radius 50 m in 9.0 s. What is the average velocity? *

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Given that,

Radius of track, r = 50 m

time , t = 9 s

velocity, v = ?

Distance covered by car in one lap around a track is equal to the circumference of the track.

C = 2 π r = 2 * 3.14 * 50

C = 314.159 m

Distance covered by car, s = 314.159 m

Velocity = distance/ time

V = 314.159 / 9

V = 34.9 m/s

The average velocity of car is 34.9 m/s.

The position of a particle as it moves along an y axis is given by y = (2.0cm)sin(πt/4), with t in second and y in centimeters.

irina [24]

Part a)

At t = 0 the position of the object is given as

$x = 0$

At t = 2

$x = 2 sin(\pi/2) = 2cm$

so displacement of the object is given as

$d = 2 - 0 = 2cm$

so average speed is given as

$v_{avg} = \frac{2}{2} = 1 cm/s$

Part b)

instantaneous speed is given by

$v = \frac{dy}{dt}$

$v = 2cos(\pi t/4 ) * \frac{\pi}{4}$

now at t= 0

$v = \frac{\pi}{2} cm/s$

at t = 1

$v = 2 cos(\pi/4) * \frac{\pi}{4}$

$v = \frac{\pi}{2\sqrt2}$

at t = 2

$v = 0$

Part c)

Average acceleration is given as

$a_{avg} = \frac{v_f - v_i}{t}$

$a_{avg} = \frac{0 - \frac{\pi}{2}}{2}$

$a = -\frac{\pi}{4} cm/s^2$

Part d)

Now for instantaneous acceleration

As we know that

$a =- \omega^2 y$

at t = 0

$a = -\frac{\pi^2}{16} * 0 = 0 cm/s^2$

at t = 1

$y = \sqrt2 cm$

now we have

$a = -\frac{\pi^2}{16}*\sqrt2$

At t = 2 we have

$y = 2 cm$

$a = -\frac{\pi^2}{16}*2$

$a = -\frac{\pi^2}{8}$

<em>so above is the instantaneous accelerations</em>
