One of the asteroids, Ida, looks like an elongated potato. Surprisingly it has a tiny (compared to Ida) spherical moon! This moo

n called Dactyl has a mass of 4.20 × 10^16 kg, and a radius of 1.57 × 10^4 meters, according to Wikipedia. Ida has a radius of 3.14 x 10^4 meters.

Answer:

g = 0.0114 m/s²

Explanation:

The value of acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the moon can be given by the following formula:

g = \frac{Gm}{r^2}

where,

g = acceleration due to gravity on the surface of moon = ?

G = Universal Gravitational Constant = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N.m²/kg²

m = mass of moon = 4.2 x 10¹⁶ kg

r = radius of moon = 1.57 x 10⁴ m

Therefore,

g= \frac{(6.67\ x\ 10^{-11}\ N.m^2/kg^2)(4.2\ x\ 10^{16}\ kg)}{(1.57\ x\ 10^4\ m)^2}

<u>g = 0.0114 m/s²</u>

Two cars traveled equal distances in different amounts of time. Car A traveled the distance in 2 h, and Car B traveled the dista
lions [1.4K]
The answer is 60 mph.

The speed (v) is distance (d) per time (t): v = d/t

Car A:
v1 = ?
t1 = 2 h
d1 = ?
___
v1 = d1/t1
d1 = v1 * t1

Car B:
v2 = ?
t2 = 1.5 h
d2 = ?
___
v2 = d2/t2
d2 = v2 * t2

<span>Two cars traveled equal distances:
d1 = d2
</span>v1 * t1 = v2 * t2

<span>Car B traveled 15 mph faster than Car A:
v2 = v1 + 15


</span>v1 * t1 = v2 * t2
v2 = v1 + 15
________
v1 * 2 = (v1 + 15) * 1.5
2v1 = 1.5v1 + 22.5
2v1 - 1.5v1 = 22.5
0.5v1 = 22.5
v1 = 22.5/0.5
v1 = 45 mph


v2 = v1 + 15
v2 = 45 + 15
v2 = 60 mph

Given the vector A with components Ax = 2.00, Ay = 6.00, the vector B with components Bx = 2.00, By = 22.00, and the vector D =
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

<em>The magnitude of vector d is 16 and the angle with the x-axis is 270°</em>

Explanation:

<u>Operations With Vectors</u>

Given two vectors in rectangular components:

\vec a=(ax,ay)\ ,\  \vec b=(bx,by)

The sum of the vectors is:

\vec a+\vec b=(ax+bx,ay+by)

The difference between the vectors is:

\vec a-\vec b=(ax-bx,ay-by)

The magnitude of \vec a is:

|\vec a|=\sqrt{ax^2+ay^2}

The angle \vec a makes with the horizontal positive direction is:

\displaystyle \tan\theta=\frac{ay}{ax}\\

The question provides the vectors:

\vec a=(2,6)

\vec b=(2,22)

\vec d=\vec a-\vec b

Calculate:

\vec d=(2,6)-(2,22)=(0,-16)

The magnitude of \vec d is:

|\vec d|=\sqrt{0^2+(-16)^2}=\sqrt{0+256}=16

The angle is calculated by:

\displaystyle \tan\theta=\frac{-16}{0}

The division cannot be calculated because the denominator is zero. We need to estimate the correct angle by looking at the components of the vector. Since the x-coordinate is zero and the y-coordinate is negative, the vector points downwards (south), thus the angle must be -90° or 270° if the range goes from 0° to 360°.

The magnitude of vector d is 16 and the angle with the x-axis is 270°

A hammer is used to hit a nail into a board. Which statement is correct about the forces at play between the nail and the hammer
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

Hewo My Lovelys!!

Answer is down below!!

Explanation:

The answer is C) The nail exerts an equal force on the hammer in the opposite direction.

Reason: The Newtons third law states that there is an equal an opposite reaction for every action. When hammer pushes the nail, the nail will push the hammer back in opposite direction. When the hammer hits a nail then nail will exert the equal and opposite force to the hammer. These both objects will exert force on each other in opposite directions.

Hope this helps!! =3

Have a great day, evening, of night!! <3

A 75-kg piano is hoisted on a crane and delivered throughout the window of a 6th story apartment (20 meters above ground). What
ipn [44]

Answer:

P = 14700 J

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a piano, m = 75 kg

It is delivered throughout the window of a 6th story apartment which is 20 m above the ground.

We need to find the potential energy of the piano. It is given by :

P = mgh

Putting all the values,

P = 75 kg × 9.8 m/s² × 20 m

P = 14700 J

So, the potential energy of the piano is 14700 J.
