Answer:

31.905 ft/s²

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of the pilot, m = 120 lb

Weight of the pilot, w = 119 lbf

Acceleration due to gravity, g = 32.05 ft/s²

Local acceleration of gravity of found by using the relation

Weight in lbf = Mass in lb * (local acceleration/32.174 lbft/s²)

119 = 120 * a/32. 174

119 * 32.174 = 120a

a = 3828.706 / 120

a = 31.905 ft/s²

Therefore, the local acceleration due to gravity at that elevation is 31.905 ft/s²

Two astronauts, each with a mass of 50 kg, are connected by a 7 m massless rope. Initially they are rotating around their center

kiruha [24]

Answer:

The angular velocity is $w_f = 1.531 \ rad/ s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass of each astronauts is $m = 50 \ kg$

The initial distance between the two astronauts $d_i = 7 \ m$

Generally the radius is mathematically represented as $r_i = \frac{d_i}{2} = \frac{7}{2} = 3.5 \ m$

The initial angular velocity is $w_1 = 0.5 \ rad /s$

The distance between the two astronauts after the rope is pulled is $d_f = 4 \ m$

Generally the radius is mathematically represented as $r_f = \frac{d_f}{2} = \frac{4}{2} = 2\ m$

Generally from the law of angular momentum conservation we have that

$I_{k_1} w_{k_1}+ I_{p_1} w_{p_1} = I_{k_2} w_{k_2}+ I_{p_2} w_{p_2}$

Here $I_{k_1 }$ is the initial moment of inertia of the first astronauts which is equal to $I_{p_1}$ the initial moment of inertia of the second astronauts So

$I_{k_1} = I_{p_1 } = m * r_i^2$

Also $w_{k_1 }$ is the initial angular velocity of the first astronauts which is equal to $w_{p_1}$ the initial angular velocity of the second astronauts So

$w_{k_1} =w_{p_1 } = w_1$

Here $I_{k_2 }$ is the final moment of inertia of the first astronauts which is equal to $I_{p_2}$ the final moment of inertia of the second astronauts So

$I_{k_2} = I_{p_2} = m * r_f^2$

Also $w_{k_2 }$ is the final angular velocity of the first astronauts which is equal to $w_{p_2}$ the final angular velocity of the second astronauts So

$w_{k_2} =w_{p_2 } = w_2$

So

$mr_i^2 w_1 + mr_i^2 w_1 = mr_f^2 w_2 + mr_f^2 w_2$

=> $2 mr_i^2 w_1 = 2 mr_f^2 w_2$

=> $w_f = \frac{2 * m * r_i^2 w_1}{2 * m * r_f^2 }$

=> $w_f = \frac{3.5^2 * 0.5}{ 2^2 }$

=> $w_f = 1.531 \ rad/ s$

What is the sum of 9260 and 3240?

Ket [755]

The sum is the result of adding 9260 and 3240 together. Each number can be broken down into constituent parts in order to make addition easier. Each place in the number represents its value, so a 2 in the hundreds place represents 200.
You can separate numbers out this way to make it easier to add them. 9260 can be broken down into 9000+200+60 while 3240 is 3000+200+40. You can then add these six numbers together.

60+40 = 100
200+200 = 400
9000+3000 = 12000

Then add your three partial results together to receive the final answer:

12000+400+100 = 12500
