If it were possible for an object to fall freely near the surface of the Earth,
-- The direction of its velocity would always be "down"; that is, toward the center of the Earth.
-- The size of its velocity would continually increase, at the rate of 9.8 meters per second for every second it falls.
Answer: 6067.5 N
Explanation:
Work = Change in Energy. To start, all of the energy is kinetic energy, so find the total KE using: KE = 1/2(m)(v^2). Plug in 1980 kg for m and 15.5 m/s for v and get KE = 237847.5 J.
Now, plug this in for work: Work = Force * Distance; so, divide work by distance to get 6067.5 N.
Answer:
50 lb
Explanation:
Given,
The weight of astronaut's life support backpack on Earth (w) = 300 lb
Acceleration due to gravity on Earth (g) = 9.8 m/s²
Acceleration due to gravity on Moon = g'
We know that weight of an object on Earth is,
Similarly, weight on Moon will be
Thus the astronaut's life support backpack will weigh 50 lb on Moon.
Answer:
45.3°C
Explanation:
Heat gained = mass × specific heat × increase in temperature
q = mC (T − T₀)
Given C = 0.128 J/g/°C, m = 94.0 g, q = 305 J, and T₀ = 20.0°C:
305 J = (94.0 g) (0.128 J/g/°C) (T − 20.0°C)
T = 45.3°C
