Forces are needed to lift, turn, move, open, close, push, pull, and so on. When you throw a ball, you are using force to make the ball move through the air. More than one force can act on an object at the same time.

Use wave equation calculate the speed of sound in the air if frequency of 110 hz has a wave length of 3 m

kirill115 [55]

Answer = 330 m/s

The wave equation is as follows:

Wave speed = wavelength x frequency

The known values are:
Wavelength = 3m
Frequency = 110 Hz

Substitute the known values into the wave equation to find the wave speed.

Wave speed = 3 x 110

Wave speed = 330 m/s

A spherical asteroid of average density would have a mass of 8.7×1013kg if its radius were 2.0 km. 1. If you and your spacesuit

Law Incorporation [45]

1. 0.16 N

The weight of a man on the surface of asteroid is equal to the gravitational force exerted on the man:

$F=G\frac{Mm}{r^2}$

where

G is the gravitational constant

$M=8.7\cdot 10^{13}kg$ is the mass of the asteroid

m = 100 kg is the mass of the man

r = 2.0 km = 2000 m is the distance of the man from the centre of the asteroid

Substituting, we find

$F=(6.67\cdot 10^{-11}m^3 kg^{-1} s^{-2})\frac{(8.7\cdot 10^{13} kg)(110 kg)}{(2000 m)^2}=0.16 N$

2. 1.7 m/s

In order to stay in orbit just above the surface of the asteroid (so, at a distance r=2000 m from its centre), the gravitational force must be equal to the centripetal force

$m\frac{v^2}{r}=G\frac{Mm}{r^2}$

where v is the minimum speed required to stay in orbit.

Re-arranging the equation and solving for v, we find:

$v=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{r}}=\sqrt{\frac{(6.67\cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1} s^{-2})(8.7\cdot 10^{13} kg)}{2000 m}}=1.7 m/s$
