An astronaut weighing 190 lbs on Earth is on a mission to the Moon and Mars.

Physics

dusya [7]3 years ago

Answer:

The weight is defined as:

W = m*g

where:

m = mass

g = gravitational acceleration.

We know that in Earth the astronaut weights 190 lb-f (this is force, not mass, the correct unit here is 190 lb*m/s^2)

then:

190 lb*m/s^2 = m*9.8m/s^2

(190 lb*m/s^2)/(9.8m/s^2) = 19.39 lb

Now we know the mass of the astronaut.

a) wieght on the moon in Newtons.

Newtons uses kilograms as the units of mass, then we need to rewrite the mass of the astronaut in kg.

we know that 1lb = 0.454 kg

Then 19.39 lb is equal to: 19.39*0.454 kg = 8.8 kg

We know that the acceleration due to gravity on the Moon is one-sixth that on Earth.

then: g = (9.8m/s^2)/6

And the weight of the astronaut in the moon will be:

W = 8.8 kg*(9.8m/s^2)/6 = 14.37 N

b) The weight on mars, where the acceleration due to gravity is 0.38 times that on Earth, we have:

g = (9.8m/s^2)*0.38

then the weight will be:

W = 8.8kg*(9.8m/s^2)*0.38 = 32.77 N

An electron moves in a circular path perpendicular to a magnetic field of magnitude 0.275 T. If the kinetic energy of the electr
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

Radius, r=2.14\times 10^{-5}\ m

Explanation:

It is given that,

Magnetic field, B = 0.275 T

Kinetic energy of the electron, E=4.9\times 10^{-19}\ J

Kinetic energy is given by :

E=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2E}{m}}

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 4.9\times 10^{-19}}{9.1\times 10^{-31}}}            

v = 1037749.04 m/s

The centripetal force is balanced by the magnetic force as :

qvB\ sin90=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}

r=\dfrac{mv}{qB}

r=\dfrac{9.1\times 10^{-31}\times 1037749.04}{1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 0.275 }

r=2.14\times 10^{-5}\ m

So, the radius of the circular path is 2.14\times 10^{-5}\ m. Hence, this is the required solution.

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

Greater than

Explanation:

Here, angular momentum is conserved.

l_1\omega_1 =l_2\omega_2

When the cloud shrinks under the right conditions, a star may be formed.

Thus, Diameter of clouds are much higher than a star.

Moment of inertia of cloud is greater than the star's inertial.

so, angular velocity of the star would be greater than angular velocity of the rotating gas.

un movil que parte del reposo alcanza una velocidad de 75 m/s en 13 segundos ¿cual su aceleracion y el espacio que recorrio en l
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

Acceleration = 5.77 m/s²

Distance cover in 13 seconds = 487.56 meter

Explanation:

Given:

Final velocity of mobile device = 75 m/s

initial velocity of mobile device = 0 m/s

Time taken = 13 seconds

Find:

Acceleration

Distance cover in 13 seconds

Computation:

v = u + at

75 = 0 + (a)(13)

13a = 75

a = 5.77

Acceleration = 5.77 m/s²

s = ut + (1/2)(a)(t²)

s = (0)(t) + (1/2)(5.77)(13²)

Distance cover in 13 seconds = 487.56 meter
