Answer:

the correct result is r = 3.71 10⁸ m

Explanation:

For this exercise we will use the law of universal gravitation

          F = - \frac{m_{1} m_{2} }{r^2}

We call the masses of the Earth M, the masses of the moon m and the masses of the rocket m ', let's set a reference system in the center of the Earth, the distance from the Earth to the moon is d = 3.84 108 m

rocket force -Earth

          F₁ = - \frac{m' M }{r^2}

rocket force - Moon

          F₂ = - \frac{m' m }{(d-r)^2}

in the problem ask for what point the force has the relation

          2 F₁ = F₂

let's substitute

          2 2 \frac{M}{r^2} = \frac{m}{(d-r)^2}

          (d-r) ² = \frac{m}{2M} r²

           d² - 2rd + r² = \frac{m}{2M} r²

           r² (1 -\frac{m}{2M}) - 2rd + d² = 0

Let's solve this quadratic equation to find the distance r, let's call

           a = 1 - \frac{m}{2M}

           a = 1 - \frac{7.36 10^{22} }{2 \  5398 10^{24}} = 1 - 6.15 10⁻³

           a = 0.99385

         

            a r² - 2d r + d² = 0

           r =  \frac  {2d \frac{+}{-}   \sqrt{4d^2 - 4 a d^2}} {2a}

           r = [2d ± 2d \sqrt{1-a}] / 2a

           r = \frac{d}{a}   (1 ± √ (1.65 10⁻³)) =  \frac{d}{a} (1 ± 0.04)

           r₁ = \frac{d}{a} 1.04

           r₂ = \frac{d}{a} 0.96

let's calculate

           r₁ = \frac{3.84 10^8}{0.99385} 1.04

           r₁ = 401.8 10⁸ m

          r₂ = \frac{3.84 10^8}{0.99385} 0.96

          r₂ = 3.71 10⁸ m

therefore the correct result is r = 3.71 10⁸ m

A container of gas molecules is at a pressure of 2 atm and has amass density of 1.7 grams per liter. All of the molecules in the
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

The speed of nitrogen molecule is 1.87 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Pressure = 2 atm

Density = 1.7 grams/liter

Atomic weight = 28 grams

We need to calculate the temperature

Using formula of idea gas

PV=nRT

P=\dfrac{WRT}{VM}

P=\dfrac{\rho RT}{M}

T=\dfrac{PM}{\rho R}

Put the value into the formula

T=\dfrac{2\times28}{1.7\times0.0821}

T=401.2\ K

We need to calculate the speed of nitrogen molecule

Using formula of RMS speed

V_{rms}=\sqrt{\dfrac{3RT}{M}}

V_{rms}=\sqrt{\dfrac{3\times0.0821\times401.2}{28}}

V_{rms}=1.87\ m/s

Hence, The speed of nitrogen molecule is 1.87 m/s.
