Weight can be explained as the force with which the gravity pulls an object. Your weight will not be the same in all planets. In moon, you will weigh far lesser than how much you weigh on the earth. However, in earth and in the moon, your mass will remain the same.

Sliva [168]

Answer:Let m =  mass of asteroid y.Because asteroid y has three times the mass of asteroid z, the mass of asteroid z is m/3.Given:F = 6.2x10⁸ Nd = 2100 km = 2.1x10⁶ mNote thatG = 6.67408x10⁻¹¹ m³/(kg-s²)The gravitational force between the asteroids isF = (G*m*(m/3))/d² = (Gm²)/(3d²)orm² = (3Fd²)/G     = [(3*(6.2x10⁸ N)*(2.1x10⁶ m)²]/(6.67408x10⁻¹¹ m³/(kg-s²))    = 1.229x10³² kg²m = 1.1086x10¹⁶ kg = 1.1x10¹⁶ kg (approx)Answer: 1.1x10¹⁶ kg

Suppose that you are holding a pencil balanced on its point. If you release the pencil and it begins to fall, what will be the a
Naily [24]

Answer:

The angular acceleration of the pencil<em> α  = 17 rad·s⁻²</em>

Explanation:

Using Newton's second angular law or torque to find angular acceleration, we get the following expressions:

    τ = I α                              (1)

    W r = I α                          (2)

The weight is that the pencil has is,

   sin 10 = r / (L/2)

   r = L/2(sin(10))

 

The shape of the pencil can be approximated to be a cylinder that rotates on one end and therefore its moment of inertia will be:

    I = 1/3 M L²

Thus,

   mg(L / 2)sin(10) = (1/3 m L²)(α) 

   α(f) = 3/2(g) / Lsin(10)

   α  = 3/2(9.8) / 0.150sin(10)

  <em> α  = 17 rad·s⁻²</em>

Therefore, the angular acceleration of the pencil<em> </em>is<em> 17 rad·s⁻²</em>

the ratio of the energy per second radiated by the filament of a lamp at 250k to that radiated at 2000k, assuming the filament i
Naily [24]

Answer:

(a) \frac{P_{250k}}{P_{2000k}}=2.4\ x\ 10^{-4}

(b) P =  0.816 Watt

Explanation:

(a)

The power radiated from a black body is given by Stefan Boltzman Law:

P = \sigma AT^4

where,

P = Energy Radiated per Second = ?

σ = stefan boltzman constant = 5.67 x 10⁻⁸ W/m².K⁴

T = Absolute Temperature

So the ratio of power at 250 K to the power at 2000 K is given as:

\frac{P_{250k}}{P_{2000k}}=\frac{\sigma A(250)^4}{\sigma A(2000)^4}\\\\\frac{P_{250k}}{P_{2000k}}=2.4\ x\ 10^{-4}

(b)

Now, for 90% radiator blackbody at 2000 K:

P = (0.9)(5.67\ x\ 10^{-8}\ W/m^2.K^4)(1\ x\ 10^{-6}\ m^2)(2000\ K)^4

<u>P =  0.816 Watt</u>

Margaret [11]

Ideal Gas Law is, pV = NkbT

<span>Therefore, p/t  = Nkb/V which is equal to the constant</span>

We need to convert the given temperature to Kelvin. We need to add 273 to have the Kelvin of the temperature from Celsius.

T1= 20 + 273 = 293 K

T2= 120 + 273 = 393 K

With this we have the pressure ration of 393/293.

So,F120 = 1.34 APa
