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

2. A jack exerts a vertical force of 4.5 X 103

skad [1K]

Correct Question:-

A jack exerts a vertical force of 4.5 × 10³

newtons to raise a car 0.25 meter. How much

work is done by the jack?

$\\ \\$

Given :-

$\star \sf \small force = 4.5 \times {10}^{3} \: newton$

$\star \sf \small distance = 0.25 \: meter$

$\\ \\$

To find:-

$\sf \star \: work = \: ?$

$\\ \\$

Solution:-

we know :-

$\bf \dag \boxed{ \rm work = force \times distance}$

$\\ \\$

So:-

$\dashrightarrow \sf work = force \times distance$

$\\ \\$

$\dashrightarrow \sf work = (4.5 \times 1 {0}^{3} ) \times 0.5 \\$

$\\ \\$

$\dashrightarrow \sf work = (4.5 \times 1 {0}^{3} ) \times \frac{0 \cancel.5}{10} \\$

$\\ \\$

$\dashrightarrow \sf work = (4.5 \times 1 {0}^{3} ) \times \frac{5}{10} \\$

$\\ \\$

$\dashrightarrow \sf work = (4.5 \times 1 {0}^{3} ) \times \cancel \frac{5}{10} \\$

$\\ \\$

$\dashrightarrow \sf work = \dfrac{4\cancel.5}{10} \times 1 {0}^{3} \times \dfrac{1}{2} \\$

$\\ \\$

$\dashrightarrow \sf work = \dfrac{45}{10} \times 1 {0}^{3} \times \dfrac{1}{2} \\$

$\\ \\$

$\dashrightarrow \sf work = \dfrac{45}{10 {}^{0} } \times 1 {0}^{3 - 1} \times \dfrac{1}{2} \\$

$\\ \\$

$\dashrightarrow \sf work = \dfrac{45}{10 {}^{0} } \times 1 {0}^{2} \times \dfrac{1}{2} \\$

$\\ \\$

$\dashrightarrow \sf work = \dfrac{45}{1} \times 1 {0}^{2} \times \dfrac{1}{2} \\$

$\\ \\$

$\dashrightarrow \sf work = \dfrac{45 \times 10 \times \cancel{10}}{ \cancel2} \\$

$\\ \\$

$\dashrightarrow \sf work = \dfrac{45 \times 10 \times 5}{ 1} \\$

$\\ \\$

$\dashrightarrow \sf work =225 \times 10$

$\\ \\$

$\dashrightarrow \bf work =\red{2250\: joule}$

The specific weight of sea water is 10.1 kN/m^3. Convert to lbs/in^3.

Viktor [21]

Answer:

0.03719 lbs/in³

Explanation:

Specific weight is given by multiplying the density of an object to the acceleration due to gravity.

$\gamma =\rho g\\\Rightarrow \rho=\frac{gamma}{g}\\\Rightarrow \rho=\frac{10.1\times 10^3}{9.81}\\\Rightarrow \rho=1029.562\ kg/m^3$

$1\ kg=2.20462\ lb$

$1\ m=39.3701\ in$

$\\\Rightarrow 1029.562\ kg/m^3=\frac{1029.562\times 2.20462}{39.3701^3}=0.03719\ lbs/in^3$

So,

$10.1\ kN/m^3=0.03719\ lbs/in^3$

Suppose you have a Frisbee with a mass of 0.10 kg. You first throw it with a force of 5N and then change the force you throw it

natali 33 [55]

Answer:

The acceleration increases.

Explanation:

From Newton's 2nd Law, we have $\Sigma F=ma$ . We can see that force is directly proportional to mass and acceleration. Therefore, as force increases, either mass or acceleration must increase as well, and vice versa. Since mass is maintained here, if you increase the force applied to the Frisbee, the acceleration will increase as well.

Why does your heart not get tired of constantly beating throughout your body

Ipatiy [6.2K]

cardiac muscle is striated. Uniquely, the cells of this kind of muscle are joined strongly together at adherens junctions that “enable the heart to contract forcefully without ripping the fibers apart.”

An electron and a proton are each placed at rest in an electric field of 500 N/C. Calculate the speed (and indicate the directio

Bumek [7]

Answer:

For proton: 2592 m/s In the same direction of electric field.

For electron: 4752000 m/s In the opposite direction of electric field.

Explanation:

E = 500 N/C, t = 54 ns = 54 x 10^-9 s,

Acceleration = Force /mass

Acceleration of proton, ap = q E / mp

ap = (1.6 x 10^-19 x 500) / (1.67 x 10^-27) = 4.8 x 10^10 m/s^2

Acceleration of electron, ae = q E / me

ae = (1.6 x 10^-19 x 500) / (9.1 x 10^-31) = 8.8 x 10^13 m/s^2

For proton:

u = 0, ap = 4.8 x 10^10 m/s^2, t = 54 x 10^-9 s

use first equation of motion

v = u + at

vp = 0 + 4.8 x 10^10 x 54 x 10^-9 = 2592 m/s In the same direction of electric field.

For electron:

u = 0, ae = 8.8 x 10^13 m/s^2, t = 54 x 10^-9 s

use first equation of motion

v = u + at

vp = 0 + 8.8 x 10^13 x 54 x 10^-9 = 4752000 m/s In the opposite direction of electric field.
