This statement is true. The point located at the geometric center of an object is indeed called the object's center of gravity. Center of gravity is the average of the weight of a resultant of the parallel forces, including all the particles that is passing through its body.
Answer:
the free-fall acceleration on the moon is 1.68 m/s^2
Explanation:
recall the formula for the gravitational potential energy (under acceleration of gravity "g"):
PE = m * g * h
replacing with our values for the problem:
46 J = 91 * g * 0.3
solve for the "g" on the Moon:
g = 46 / (91 * 0.3)
g = 1.68 m/s^2
Yes, the volume of the cylinder will remain constant. As the radius decreases, the height will increase to make sure that the volume is kept the same.
We have been given a value of dr/dt and are required to find dh/dt
Because the volume is constant, we can plug it into the formula for the volume of the cylinder and rearrange it to make h the subject:
128 = πr²h
h = 128/πr²
Now we differentiate both sides:
dh/dr = -256/πr³
Applying the chain rule:
dh/dt = dh/dr x dr/dt
dh/dt = (-256/πr³) x -0.05
dh/dt = 64/5πr³; substituting the value of r
dh/dt = 64/5π(1.5)³
dh/dt = 1.21 in/sec
