Answer:

r = 2.031 x 10⁶ m = 2031 km

Explanation:

In order for the asteroid to orbit the planet, the centripetal force must be equal to the gravitational force between asteroid and planet:

Centripetal Force = Gravitational Force

mv²/r = GmM/r²

v² = GM/r

r = GM/v²

where,

r = radial distance = ?

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

M = Mass of Planet = 3.52 x 10¹³ kg

v = tangential speed = 0.034 m/s

Therefore,

r = (6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N.m²/kg²)(3.52 x 10¹³ kg)/(0.034 m/s)²

<u>r = 2.031 x 10⁶ m = 2031 km</u>

Find the average force exerted by the bat on the ball if the two are in contact for 0.00129 s. Answer in units of N.

Semmy [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

time of contact between bat and ball is $t=0.00129 s$

suppose u is the incoming velocity and v is the final velocity after collision

$m=mass\ of\ ball$

Impulse exerted is given by change in momentum of the particle.

Initial momentum $P_i=m\times u$

Final momentum $P_f=m\times v$

Change in momentum $\Delta P=P_i-P_f$

Impulse $J=F_{avg}\cdot t=\Delta P$

$J=F_{avg}\cdot t=m(u-v)$

$F_{avg}=\frac{m(v-u)}{t}$

$F_{avg}=775.2\times m(v-u)\ N$

the motion of a particle along a straight line is represented by the position versus time graph above. at which of the labeled p

atroni [7]

Point A has the largest magnitude of acceleration as compared to other points on the position verses time graph.

On the graph, A is the point where magnitude of the acceleration of the particle is greatest as compared to other positions on the graph because the height of point A is the largest as compared to other points of the graph.

The graph shows at which point acceleration of an object is higher and lower so we can conclude that point A has the largest magnitude of acceleration as compared to other points on the position verses time graph.

Hooke's law describes a certain light spring of unstretched length 34.8 cm. When one end is attached to the top of a doorframe a

DaniilM [7]

Answer:

a) $k = 1343.6\,\frac{N}{m}$ , b) $l = 0.501\,m\,(50.1\,cm)$

Explanation:

a) The Hooke's law states that spring force is directly proportional to change in length. That is to say:

$F \propto \Delta l$

In this case, the force is equal to the weight of the object:

$F = m\cdot g$

$F = (8.22\,kg)\cdot (9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )$

$F = 80.614\,N$

The spring constant is:

$k = \frac{F}{\Delta l}$

$k = \frac{80.614\,N}{0.408\,m-0.348\,m}$

$k = 1343.6\,\frac{N}{m}$

b) The length of the spring is:

$F = k\cdot (l-l_{o})$

$l = l_{o} + \frac{F}{k}$

$l=0.348\,m+\frac{205\,N}{1343.6\,\frac{N}{m} }$

$l = 0.501\,m\,(50.1\,cm)$
