Answer:

v = 2.38 × 10³ m/s

Explanation:

Escape velocity, v = √(2gR) where g = acceleration due to gravity on planet and R = radius of planet.

Since it is given that the weight of the man on the moon is 1/6 his weight on earth, and g' = acceleration due to gravity on moon and g = acceleration due to gravity on earth and m = mass of man,

mg' = mg/6

g' = g/6

Since g = 9.8 m/s²,

g'= 9.8 m/s² ÷ 6

g' = 1.63 m/s²

The escape velocity of the moon is thus v = √(2g'R) where R = radius of moon = 1.737 × 10⁶ m.

Substituting these into v, we have

v = √(2g'R)

v = √(2 × 1.63 m/s² × 1.737 × 10⁶ m)

v = √[5.663 × 10⁶ (m/s)²]

v = 2.38 × 10³ m/s

Answer:

The x component of the resultant force is -7.27N.

Explanation:

To obtain the x component of the resultant force, first we have to know the x components of the other forces. To do this, we just have to do some trigonometry:

$|F_{1x}|=|F_1|\cos\theta_1=9.20N\cos62.0\°=4.31N \\|F_{2x}|=|F_2|\cos\theta_2=5.00N\cos53.6\°=2.96N$

Since both vectors are in the left side of the y-axis, they have a negative x component. So:

$F_{1x}=-4.31N;\\F_{2x}=-2.96N$

Finally, we sum both components to obtain the component of the resultant force:

$F_{Rx}=-4.31N-2.96N=-7.27N$

In words, the x component of the resultant force is -7.27N.

An inventor develops a stationary cycling device by which an individual, while pedaling, can convert all of the energy expended

mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

$Q=94185\ J$

Explanation:

Given:

mass of water, $m=0.3\ kg$

initial temperature of water, $T_i=20^{\circ}C$

final temperature of water, $T_f=95^{\circ}C$

specific heat of water, $c=4186\ J.kg^{-1}.K^{-1}$

<u>Now the amount of heat energy required:</u>

$Q=m.c.\Delta T$

$Q=0.3\times 4186\times (95-20)$

$Q=94185\ J$

Since all of the mechanical energy is being converted into heat, therefore the same amount of mechanical energy is required.
