Answer:

W=\frac{773}{4.45}=173.76 l b f

Explanation:

W=\frac{G \cdot m_{e} \cdot m}{(R+h)^{2}}

The law of gravitation

G=6.673\left(10^{-11}\right) m^{3} /\left(k g \cdot s^{2}\right)

Universal gravitational constant [S.I. units]

m_{e}=5.976\left(10^{24}\right) k g

Mass of Earth [S.I. units]

m=89 kg

Mass of a man in a spacecraft [S.I. units]

R=6371 \mathrm{~km}

Earth radius [km]

Distance between man and the earth's surface

h=261 \mathrm{~km} \quad[\mathrm{~km}]

ESULT W=\frac{6.673\left(10^{-11}\right) \cdot 5.976\left(10^{24}\right) \cdot 89}{\left(6371 \cdot 10^{3}+261 \cdot 10^{3}\right)^{2}}=773.22 \mathrm{~N}

W=\frac{773}{4.45}=173.76 l b f

The rotating blade of a blender turns with constant angular acceleration of 1.51 rad/s^2. How much time does it take to reach an
yawa3891 [41]

time to reach an angular velocity of 36.8 is 24.370 s.

<h3></h3><h3>What is angular acceleration?</h3>

The temporal rate at which angular velocity changes is referred to as angular acceleration. Naturally, there are two forms of angular acceleration, referred to as spin angular acceleration and orbital angular acceleration, just as there are two types of angular velocity, namely spin angular velocity and orbital angular velocity. As opposed to orbital angular acceleration, which is the angular acceleration of a point particle around a fixed origin, spin angular acceleration describes the angular acceleration of a rigid body about its centre of rotation.

w(t) = w(0) + α*t

also w(0) =0

=> time = 36.8/1.51= 24.370 s
