After landing on an unfamiliar planet, a space explorer constructs a simple pendulum of length 49.0 cm . The explorer finds that

iren2701 [21]

Answer: g = 10.0 m/s/s

Explanation:

For a simple pendulum, provided that the angle between the lowest and highest point of his trajectory be small, the oscillation period is given by the following expression:

T = 2π √L/g , where L = pendulum length, g= accelleration of gravity.

We can also define the period, as the time needed to complete a full swing, so from the measured values, we can conclude the following :

T = 140 sec/ 101 cycles = 1.39 sec

Equating both definitions for T, we can solve for g, as follows:

g = 4 π² L / T² = 4π². 0.49 m / (1.39)² = 10.0 m/s/s

A large helium filled balloon is used as the center piece for a graduation party. The balloon alone has a mass of 222 kg and it

inn [45]

Answer:

The buoyant force is 3778.8 N in upward.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of balloon = 222 Kg

Volume = 328 m³

Density of air = 1.20 kg/m³

Density of helium = 0.179 kg/m³

We need to calculate the buoyant force acting

Using formula of buoyant force

$F_{b}=\rho_{air}\times V_{b}\times g$

Where, $\rho_{air}$ = density of air

V = Volume of balloon

g = acceleration due to gravity

Put the value into the formula

$F_{b}=1.20\times321\times9.81$

$F_{b}=3778.8\ N$

This buoyant force is in upward direction.

Hence, The buoyant force is 3778.8 N in upward.

An electron in a television tube is accelerated uniformly from rest to a speed of 8.4\times 10^7~\text{m/s}8.4×10 7 m/s over

stich3 [128]

Answer:

P=3.42×10^-6 J/s

Explanation:

From the kinematics of motion with constant acceleration we know that :

vf^2=vi^2+2*a(xf-xi)

Where :

• vf , vi, are the the final and the initial velocity of the electron

• a is the acceleration of the electron

• xf , xi are the final and the initial position of the electron .

Strategy for solving the problem : at first from the given information we calculate the acceleration of the electron.

Givens: vf = 8.4 x 10^7 m/s , vi, = 0 m/s , xf = 0.025 m and xi = 0 m

vf^2 =vi^2+2*a(xf-xi)

vf^2-vi^2=2*a(xf-xi)

2*a(xf-xi)= vf^2-vi^2

a = (vf^2-vi^2)/2(xf-xi)

Pluging known information to get :

a = (vf^2-vi^2)/2(xf-xi)

= 1.411 × 10^17

From the acceleration and the previous Eq. we can calculate the final velocity of the electron but a new position xf = 0.01 m

so,

vf^2 =vi^2+2*a(xf-xi)

vf^2 =5.312× 10^7

From the following Eq. we can calculate the time elapsed in this motion .

xf =xi+vi*t+1/2*a*t

xf =xi+vi*t+1/2*a*t

t=√2(xf-xi)/a

t=3.765×10^-10 s

now we can use the power P Eq.

P=W/Δt => ΔK/Δt

Where: the work done W change the kinetic energy K of the electron ,

ΔK=Kf-Ki=>1/2*m*vf^2-1/2*m*vi^2

P=1/2*m*vf^2-1/2*m*vi^2/Δt

P=3.42×10^-6 J/s

How much work would be needed to raise the payload from the surface of the moon (i.e., x = r) to an altitude of 5r miles above t

Cloud [144]

Let the data is as following

mass of payload = "m"

mass of Moon = "M"

now we know that we place the payload from the position on the surface of moon to the position of 5r from the surface

So in this case we can say that change in the gravitational potential energy is equal to the work done to move the mass from one position to other

so it is given by

$W = U_f - U_i$

we know that

$U_f = -\frac{GMm}{6r}$

$U_i = -\frac{GMm}{r}$

now from above formula

$W = -\frac{GMm}{6r} + \frac{GMm}{r}$

$W = \frac{5GMm}{6r}$

so above is the work done to move the mass from surface to given altitude
