Answer:

h' = 603.08 m

Explanation:

First, we will calculate the initial velocity of the pellet on the surface of Earth by using third equation of motion:

2gh = Vf² - Vi²

where,

g = acceleration due to gravity on the surface of earth = - 9.8 m/s² (negative sign due to upward motion)

h = height of pellet = 100 m

Vf = final velocity of pellet = 0 m/s (since, pellet will momentarily stop at highest point)

Vi = Initial Velocity of Pellet = ?

Therefore,

(2)(-9.8 m/s²)(100 m) = (0 m/s)² - Vi²

Vi = √(1960 m²/s²)

Vi = 44.27 m/s

Now, we use this equation at the surface of moon with same initial velocity:

2g'h' = Vf² - Vi²

where,

g' = acceleration due to gravity on the surface of moon = 1.625 m/s²

h' = maximum height gained by pellet on moon = ?

Therefore,

2(1.625 m/s²)h' = (44.27 m/s)² - (0 m/s)²

h' = (1960 m²/s²)/(3.25 m/s²)

<u>h' = 603.08 m</u>

Science please helppp
Daniel [21]

The red box must way more. Gravitational potential energy is the product of a an objects mass times the acceleration due to gravity (which is constant on earth) times its height. Since the objects are on the same shelf they are at the same height, and since gravitational acceleration is constant as long as we stay on planet earth, then the mass is the only possible thing that could have changed. This means that the red box must weigh more than the blue box.

A current cannot produce a magnetic field. *<br><br> True or false
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

False, as a magnetic field is generated whenever current travels through a conductor.

An electromagnet consists of a coil of wire wrapped around a bar of iron. The coil and iron bar get magnetized when electric current flows through the wire. An electromagnet also has north and south magnetic poles. The magnetic field is strongest at either pole of the magnet.

In this problem, you will calculate the location of the center of mass for the Earth-Moon system, and then you will calculate th
Radda [10]

Answer:

a) Option D is correct.

The center of mass between the Eartg and the moon is inside the Earth.

Explanation:

Given,

Mass of the moon = (7.35×10²²) kg

Mass of the Earth = (6.00×10²⁴) kg

Mass of the Sun = (2.00×10³⁰) kg

Distance between the Earth and the moon = (3.80×10⁵) km

Distance between the Earth and the Sun = (1.50×10⁸) km

With the assumption that all.of the bodies being considered are on the same straight line on the x-axis,

Note that Centre of mass is given as

C.M = (Σmx)/(Σm)

For the Earth-moon system, let the earth be x=0, then the moon is at x = (3.80 × 10 5) km away.

C.M = (Σmx)/(Σm)

Σmx = (6.00×10²⁴)) × (0) + (7.35×10²²) × (3.80×10⁵) = (2.793 × 10²⁸) kg.km

Σm = (6.00×10²⁴) + (7.35×10²²) = (6.0735 × 10²⁴) kg

CM = (2.793 × 10²⁸) ÷ (6.0735 × 10²⁴)

CM = (4.60 × 10³) km = 4600 km

This means the centre of mass is 4600 km from the Earth.

The Earth's radius = 6378 km

Hence, the centre if mass is inside the Earth.

Hope this Helps!!!
