Hello!

Use the formula:

M = k * p

Data:

M = Mechanic energy

k = Kinetic energy

p = Potencial energy

Descomposing:

M = (0,5*mv²) + (mgh)

Replacing:

M = (0,5 * 59,6 kg * (23,4 m/s)²) + (59,6 kg * 9,81 m/s² * 44,6 m)

M = 16317,28 J + 26076,54 J

M = 42393,82 J

The mechanic energy is <u>42393,82 Joules.</u>

Given: G = 6.672 × 10−11 N · m2 /kg2 Io, a satellite of Jupiter, has an orbital period of 1.24 days and an orbital radius of 4.1
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

Mass of Jupiter = 4.173×10^15kg

Explanation:

Using Kepler's 3rd law, it states that the orbital period T is related to the distance,r as:

T^2 = GM/4 pi × r^3

Where G = universal gravitational constant

r = radius

M = masd of jupiter

Rearranging the formular to make M the subject of formular

T^2 × 4 pi = G M × r^3

(T^2 × 4 pi) / (G× r^3) = M

(1.24^2 × 4 × 3.142) /(6.672×10^-11)(4.11×10^8)^3

M = 19.32 /6.672×10^-11)(4.11×10^8)^3

M = 19.32 / 4.63 ×10^15

M = 4.173×10^15kg

A radar for tracking aircraft broadcasts a 12 GHz microwave beam from a 2.0-m-diameter circular radar antenna. From a wave persp
NISA [10]

A) 750 m

First of all, let's find the wavelength of the microwave. We have

f=12GHz=12\cdot 10^9 Hz is the frequency

c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s is the speed of light

So the wavelength of the beam is

\lambda=\frac{c}{f}=\frac{3\cdot 10^8 m/s}{12\cdot 10^9 Hz}=0.025 m

Now we can use the formula of the single-slit diffraction to find the radius of aperture of the beam:

y=\frac{m\lambda D}{a}

where

m = 1 since we are interested only in the central fringe

D = 30 km = 30,000 m

a = 2.0 m is the aperture of the antenna (which corresponds to the width of the slit)

Substituting, we find

y=\frac{(1)(0.025 m)(30000 m)}{2.0 m}=375 m

and so, the diameter is

d=2y = 750 m

B) 0.23 W/m^2

First we calculate the area of the surface of the microwave at a distance of 30 km. Since the diameter of the circle is 750 m, the radius is

r=\frac{750 m}{2}=375 m

So the area is

A=\pi r^2 = \pi (375 m)^2=4.42\cdot 10^5 m^2

And since the power is

P=100 kW = 1\cdot 10^5 W

The average intensity is

I=\frac{P}{A}=\frac{1\cdot 10^5 W}{4.42\cdot 10^5 m^2}=0.23 W/m^2

A box is sitting on a 2 m long board at one end. A worker picks up the board at the end with the box so it makes an angle with t
Vlada [557]

Answer:

Explanation:

When the box is on the ramp , component of its weight along the ramp

= mg sinθ

Friction force acting on it in upward direction

=μ mg cosθ

For sliding

μ mg cosθ < mg sinθ

μ cosθ < sinθ

.5 x cos35 < sin35

.41 < .57

So the box will slide

When sliding starts , kinetic friction acts

Net force in downward direction

mgsinθ - μ mg cosθ

acceleration

= gsinθ - μ g cosθ

= 5.62 - .3 x 9.8 x cos35

= 5.62 - 2.4

= 3.22 m /s²

The coefficient of kinetic friction between an object and the surface upon which it is sliding is 0.10. The mass of the object i
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

Explanation:

1) Force Friction = Normal Force * Coefficient of Friction

Force Friction = Mass * Gravity * Coefficient of Friction

2) F = ma

Force = mass * acceleration

Force Friction (from #1) = mass * acceleration

acceleration = Force Friction / Mass
