Answer:

a. Object A

Explanation:

The mass of an object implies the quantity of matter in it, while the weight is the amount of gravitational force applied on an object.

The object A has a mass of 25 lbs, but object B on the earth has a weight, W, of 25 N.

So that,

For object A on the moon, mass = 25 lbs

For object B on the earth, W = 25 N,

W = m x g

25 = m x 10 (g = 10 m/ $s^{2}$ )

m = $\frac{25}{10}$

= 2.5 lbs

Mass of object B is 2.5 lbs.

Therefore, the mass of the object A is more than that of B.

One major advantage of alternating current over direct current is that you can use alternating current with a device known as a

Oksanka [162]

transformer makes use of mutual induction for its operation in which change in magnetic field in one coil due to variation of current , induces voltage in the other coil. so changing magnetic field in the primary coil is very much needed for the transformer. Alternating current is a current which varies with time , hence it is suitable to produce changing magnetic field in the primary coil. on the other hand , the direct current remains constant all the time. hence can not produce a changing magnetic field. so DC current is not useful for transformers.

You are exploring a distant planet. When your spaceship is in a circular orbit at a distance of 630 km above the planet's surfac

Anarel [89]

Answer:

$R = 24.3 m$

Explanation:

As we know that the orbital speed is given as

$v = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{R + h}}$

here we know that

v = 5500 m/s

$R = 4.48 \times 10^6 m$

$h = 630 km$

now we have

$5500 = \sqrt{\frac{(6.6 \times 10^{-11})M}{4.48 \times 10^6 + 6.30\times 10^5}}$

$M = 2.34 \times 10^24 kg$

now acceleration due to gravity of planet is given as

$a = \frac{GM}{R^2}$

$a = \frac{(6.6 \times 10^{-11})(2.34 \times 10^{24})}{(4.48\times 10^6)^2}$

$a = 7.7 m/s^2$

now range of the projectile on the surface of planet is given as

$R = \frac{v^2 sin2\theta}{g}$

$R = \frac{14.6^2 sin(2\times 30.8)}{7.7}$

$R = 24.3 m$

In a large centrifuge used for training pilots and astronauts, a small chamber is fixed at the end of a rigid arm that rotates i

RSB [31]

a) The length of the arm of the centrifuge is 10.9 m

b) The angular acceleration is $2.7 rad/s^2$

Explanation:

a)

In a uniform circular motion, the centripetal acceleration is given by

$a_c=\omega^2 r$

where:

$\omega$ is the angular speed of the circular motion

r is the radius of the circle

For the centrifuge in this problem, we have:

$\omega=1.7 rad/s$ is the angular speed

The centripetal acceleration is 3.2 times the acceleration due to gravity ( $g=9.8 m/s^2$ ), so:

$a_c=3.2 g = 3.2(9.8)=31.4 m/s^2$

Therefore, we can re-arrange the previous equation to find r, the radius of the circle (which corresponds to the length of the arm of the centrifuge):

$r=\frac{a_c}{\omega^2}=\frac{31.4}{1.7^2}=10.9 m$

b)

In the second part of the exercise, the centrifuge speeds up from an initial angular speed of 0 to a final angular speed of 1.7 rad/s. The total acceleration experienced at the final moment is

$a=4.4 g$

So, 4.4 times the acceleration due to gravity.

The total acceleration is the resultant of the centripetal acceleration ( $a_c$ ) and the tangential acceleration ( $a_t$ ):

$a=\sqrt{a_c^2+a_t^2}$

We know that:

a = 4.4g

$a_c = 3.2 g$

So, we can find the tangential acceleration:

$a_t = \sqrt{a^2-a_c^2}=\sqrt{(4.4g)^2-(3.2g)^2}=29.6 m/s^2$

The angular acceleration is related to the tangential acceleration by

$\alpha = \frac{a_t}{r}$

where r = 10.9 m is the length of the centrifuge. Substituting,

$\alpha = \frac{29.6}{10.9}=2.7 rad/s^2$

A farmer hitches her tractor to a sled loaded with firewood and pulls it a distance

Delvig [45]

(a) The work done by the force applied by the tractor is 79,968.47 J.

(b) The work done by the frictional force on the tractor is 55,977.93 J.

(c) The total work done by all the forces is 23,990.54 J.

<h3>Work done by the applied force</h3>

The work done by the force applied by the tractor is calculated as follows;

W = Fd cosθ

W = (5000 x 20) x cos(36.9)

W = 79,968.47 J

<h3>Work done by frictional force</h3>

W = Ffd cosθ

W = (3500 x 20) x cos(36.9)

W = 55,977.93 J

<h3>Net work done by all the forces on the tractor</h3>

W(net) = work done by applied force - work done by friction force

W(net) = 79,968.47 J - 55,977.93 J

W(net) = 23,990.54 J

The pressure in a traveling sound wave is given by the equation ΔP = (1.78 Pa) sin [ (0.888 m-1)x - (500 s-1)t] Find (a) the pre

frozen [14]

Answer:

a) $P_m=1.78\ Pa$

b) $f=79.5775\ Hz$

c) $\lambda=7.076\ m$

d) $v=563.06\ m.s^{-1}$

Explanation:

<u>Given equation of pressure variation:</u>

$\Delta P= (1.78\ Pa)\ sin\ [(0.888\ m^{-1})x-(500\ s^{-1})t]$

We have the standard equation of periodic oscillations:

$\Delta P=P_m\ sin\ (kx-\omega.t)$

<em>By comparing, we deduce:</em>

(a)

amplitude:

$P_m=1.78\ Pa$

(b)

angular frequency:

$\omega=2\pi.f$

$2\pi.f=500$

∴Frequency of oscillations:

$f=\frac{500}{2\pi}$

$f=79.5775\ Hz$

(c)

wavelength is given by:

$\lambda=\frac{2\pi}{k}$

$\lambda=\frac{2\pi}{0.888}$

$\lambda=7.076\ m$

(d)

Speed of the wave is gives by:

$v=\frac{\omega}{k}$

$v=\frac{500}{0.888}$

$v=563.06\ m.s^{-1}$
