Answer:

26500 W/m²

Explanation:

Given that:

The diameter of the dish d = 1.2 m

Assuming the Solar power P capture by the dish = 1300 W

The surface area of the pot is calculated by using the formula:

$= \pi r^2$

$\pi \dfrac{d^2}{4}$

where; the diameter = 25 cm

Area = $\pi \dfrac{d^2}{4}$

Area = $\pi \dfrac{0.25^2}{4}$

Area = 0.049 m²

The intensity is calculated by using the formula

I = power/area

I = 1300/0.049

I = 26530.6 W/m²

I ≅ 26500 W/m²

pav-90 [236]

Answer:

Approximately $3.98\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}$ .

Assumption: air resistance on the rocket is negligible. Take $g = \rm 9.81\; m \cdot s^{-2}$ .

Explanation:

By Newton's Second Law of Motion, the acceleration of the rocket is proportional to the net force on it.

$\displaystyle \text{Acceleration} = \frac{\text{Net Force}}{\text{Mass}}$ .

Note that in this case, the uppercase letter $\rm M$ in the units stands for "mega-", which is the same as $10^6$ times the unit that follows. For example, $\rm 1\; Mg = 10^6\; g$ , while $\rm 1\; MN = 10^6\; N$ .

Convert the mass of the rocket and the thrust of its engines to SI standard units:

The standard unit for mass is kilograms: $\displaystyle m = \rm 552\; Mg = 552 \times 10^6\; g \times \frac{1\; \rm kg}{10^3\; g} = 552 \times 10^3 \; kg$ .
The standard for forces (including thrust) is Newtons: $\text{Thrust} = \rm 7.61 \; MN = 7.61 \times 10^6\; N$ .

At launch, the velocity of the rocket would be pretty low. Hence, compared to thrust and weight, the air resistance on the rocket would be pretty negligible. The two main forces that contribute to the net force of the rocket would be:

Thrust (which is supposed to go upwards), and
Weight (downwards due to gravity.)

The thrust on the rocket is already known to be $\rm 7.61 \times 10^6\; N$ . Since the rocket is quite close to the ground, the gravitational acceleration on it should be approximately $9.81\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2} = 9.81 \; N \cdot kg^{-1}$ . Hence, the weight on the rocket would be approximately $9.81\; \rm N \cdot kg^{-1} \times 552 \times 10^3\; kg = 5.41412\times 10^6\; N$ .

The magnitude of the net force on the rocket would be

$\begin{aligned}&\text{Thrust} - \text{Weight} \\ &= 7.61 \times 10^6\; \rm N - 5.41412\times 10^6\; N \\ &\approx 2.19 \times 10^6\; \rm N\end{aligned}$ .

Apply the formula $\displaystyle \text{Acceleration} = \frac{\text{Net Force}}{\text{Mass}}$ to find the net force on the rocket. To make sure that the output (acceleration) is in SI units (meters-per-second,) make sure that the inputs (net force and mass) are also in SI units (Newtons for net force and kilograms for mass.)

$\begin{aligned}\displaystyle &\text{Acceleration} \\ &= \frac{\text{Net Force}}{\text{Mass}} \\ &= \frac{2.19 \times 10^6\; \rm N}{552 \times 10^3\; \rm kg} \\ &\approx \rm 3.98\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}\end{aligned}$ .

What is the gravitational attraction on you due to a mountain with a mass of 100 million metric tons 1 km away ?

nikklg [1K]

The magnitude of the gravitational attraction is $4\cdot 10^{-4} N$ .

Explanation:

The magnitude of the gravitational force between two objects is given by

$F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}$

where

$G=6.67\cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1}s^{-2}$ is the gravitational constant

m1, m2 are the masses of the two objects

r is the separation between them

In this problem, we have

$m_1 = 60 kg$ is my mass

The mass of the mountain is 100 million tons, and keeping in mind that

1 ton = 1000 kg

The mass of the mountain is

$m_2 = 100 \cdot 10^6 tons =100 \cdot 10^6 tons \cdot (1000 kg/ton)=100\cdot 10^9 kg$

The distance between me and the mountain is

r = 1 km = 1000 m

Therefore, the gravitational attraction is

$F=\frac{(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})(100\cdot 10^9)(60)}{(1000)^2}=4\cdot 10^{-4} N$
