Physics

Sophie [7]3 years ago

Explanation:

Let the mass of the body is m. The gravitational force acting on the object is given by :

F=\dfrac{GMm}{r^2} ....(1)

G is universal gravitational constant

M is mass of Earth

r is the distance between the body

The acceleration of falling objects due to the gravitational force of Earth is equal to the acceleration due to gravity (g).

F = mg ...(2)

g is acceleration due to gravity

From equation (1) and (2) :

\dfrac{GMm}{r^2}=mg\\\\g=\dfrac{GM}{r^2}

Here, M is mass of Earth and r is the distance. Hence, the acceleration due to gravi ty is independent to the mass of the falling body

A cop claims you passed him at more than 60 mph ,27.8 meters per second, 200 meters from a red light that just turned green. you
postnew [5]

Sounds like the situation is modeled like so:

[Light] - - - - - - - - - - [You] => - - -

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - [Cop] - - - - -

<= = = 200 m = = =>

where your velocity is 27.8 m/s to the right. So the question is asking, is it possible that your car, given that it accelerates at a maximum of 1/5 m/s^2, can reach a speed of 27.8 m/s from rest in the time it takes for it to cover 200 m.

The car's position at time t is

x=\dfrac12\left(1.5\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)t^2

The time it takes to traverse 200 m is

200\,\mathrm m=\left(0.75\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)t^2\implies t\approx16.3\,\mathrm s

Your car's velocity at time t, starting from rest, is

v=\left(1.5\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)t

so that after 16.3 s, your car is moving at a speed of

v=\left(1.5\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)\left(16.3\,\mathrm s\right)\approx24.5\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}

which is less than the speed the cop claims you were going, so the cop is not correct.

How many neutrons does element X have if its atomic number is 43 and its mass number is 164?
Drupady [299]
Hello, 
The mass number is protons+neutrons=mass number. In this case, we have protons+nuetron=164.The atomic number is simply the number of protons so we have 43+neutrons=164. Subtracting 43 from both sides we get nuetrons=121. Hope this helps!
