A constant force of 1.25N

Explanation:

This is a kinematics problem.

First find acceleration,

then use F = ma to find force.

Given:

mass = .5kg

delta x = 20m

t = 4s

a = ?

Friction = 0

From the kinematics equations:

delta x = Vi + (1/2)at^2

Plug in terms that are given:

20m = 0 + (1/2)a(4^2)

(2*20m)/(16s^2) = a

40m/(16s^2)= 2.5m/s^2

Now use F = ma to find force exerted on object.

F = (0.5kg)*(2.5m/s^2)

F = 1.25N

When it orbited the Moon, the Apollo 11 spacecraft’s mass was 14800 kg, and its mean distance from the Moon’s center was 1.79877
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

If M be mass of moon and m be mass of spacecraft

potential energy of moon -spacecraft system

= - G M m / R where R is radius of orbit of spacecraft

kinetic energy of spacecraft in the orbit

= 1/2 m v² = GMm / 2R

Total energy of spacecraft

=  GMm / 2R  - G M m / R

= - GMm / 2R

for spacecraft to leave the orbit,  energy required

= GMm / 2R

= 6.67259 x 10⁻¹¹ x  7.36 x 10²² x 14800 / (2 x 1.79877 x 10⁶)

= 202035.8 x 10⁵ J .

Describe two characteristics that can be determined about a star by analyzing the spectra of the star.
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

Effective temperature, Doppler velocity

Explanation:

Since star behave localy as a blackbody, Wíen's displacement law can be use in order to determine its effective temperature. From the spectrum it will be take the wavelength at which is the peak of emission greater in the continuum

 

Then, the maximum peak of emission (\lambda_{max}) will be replace in the next equation of the Wien's displacement law:

T = \frac{2.898x10^{-3} m. K}{\lambda max} (1)

Where T is the effective temperature of the star.

Spectral lines will be shifted to the blue part of the spectrum if the source of the observed light is moving toward the observer, or to the red part of the spectrum when is moving away from the observer (that is known as the Doppler effect).

By using that shift in the spectral lines it can be determine the Doppler velocity.

v = c\frac{\Delta \lambda}{\lambda_{0}}  (2)

Where \Delta \lambda is the wavelength shift, \lambda_{0} is the wavelength at rest, v is the velocity of the source and c is the speed of light.

A boy of mass 45kg sits 109cm to the left of seesaw. Another boy of mass 29000g wants to balance the seesaw. At what distance he
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

d_{2} = 169 cm

Explanation:

Mass 1 = 45 kg   => Force = 450 N

Mass 2 = 29 kg   => Force = 290 N

<u><em>According to principle of moments:</em></u>

=> F_{1}d_{1} = F_{2}d_{2}

Where F_{1} = 450 N, d_{1} = 109 cm and F_{2} = 290 N

=> (450)(109) = 290d_{2}

=> 49050 =  290d_{2}

Dividing both sides by 290

=> d_{2} = 169 cm
