ue to the Earth's gravitation
Physics

Alchen [17]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

g = 0.85 ms^{-2}

Explanation:

g = \frac{GM}{h^{2} }

were; g is the acceleration due to Earth's gravity, G is Newton's gravitation constant (6.674 x 10^{-11} Nm^{2}kg^{-2}), M is the mass of the earth (5.972 x 10^{24} kg), and h is the distance of meteoroid to the earth.

h = 3.40 x R

  = 3.40 x 6371 km

h = 21661.4 km

  = 21661400 m

Thus,

g = \frac{6.674*10^{-11}*5.972*10^{24}  }{(21661400)^{2} }

  = \frac{3.9857 *10^{14} }{4.6922*10^{14} }

  = 0.84944

g = 0.85 ms^{-2}

The acceleration due to the Earth's gravitation is 0.85 ms^{-2}.

A 6.7kg object moves with a velocity of 8m/s. What's its kinetic energy?
Snezhnost [94]

Given parameters:

Mass of object = 6.7kg

Velocity  = 8m/s

Unknown parameter:

Kinetic energy  = ?

Energy is defined as the ability to do work. There are two forms of energy;

Kinetic and potential energy.

Kinetic energy is the energy due to the motion of a body. Whereas, potential energy is the energy due to the position of a body usually at rest.

Kinetic energy is mathematically expressed as;

             Kinetic energy  = \frac{1}{2} m v^{2}

where m is the mass of the body

           v is the velocity of the body

Since we have been given both mass and velocity, input the parameter to solve for the unknown;

            Kinetic energy  = \frac{1}{2} x 6.7 x 8²   = 214.4‬J

So the kinetic energy of the body is  214.4‬J

A current of 9 A flows through an electric device with a resistance of 43 Ω. What must be the applied voltage in this particular
NeTakaya
Answer:
387 volts

Explanation:
Ohm's law is used to relate voltage, current and resistance.
The formula is as follows:V = I * R
where:
V is the applied voltage (measured in volts)
I is the current flowing (measured in amperes)
R is the resistance (measured in ohm)

In the given, we have:
current (I) = 9 amperes
resistance (R) = 43 ohm

Substitute with the givens in the above formula to get the voltage as follows:
V = 9 * 43
V = 387 volts

Hope this helps :)

A satellite, orbiting the earth at the equator at an altitude of 400 km, has an antenna that can be modeled as a 1.76-m-long rod
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

The inducerd emf is 1.08 V

Solution:

As per the question:

Altitude of the satellite, H = 400 km

Length of the antenna, l = 1.76 m

Magnetic field, B = 8.0\times 10^{- 5}\ T

Now,

When a conducting rod moves in a uniform magnetic field linearly with velocity, v, then the potential difference due to its motion is given by:

e = - l(vec{v}\times \vec{B})

Here, velocity v is perpendicular to the rod

Thus

e = lvB           (1)

For the orbital velocity of the satellite at an altitude, H:

v = \sqrt{\frac{Gm_{E}}{R_{E}} + H}

where

G = Gravitational constant

m_{e} = 5.972\times 10^{24}\ kg = mass of earth

R_{E} = 6371\ km = radius of earth

v = \sqrt{\frac{6.67\times 10^{- 11}\times 5.972\times 10^{24}}{6371\times 1000 + 400\times 1000} = 7670.018\ m/s

Using this value value in eqn (1):

e = 1.76\times 7670.018\times 8.0\times 10^{- 5} = 1.08\ V

A 25.0 kg box of textbooks rests on a loading ramp that makes an angle α with the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic frictio
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

The minimum angle at which the box starts to slip (rounded to the next whole number) is α=19°

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we must start by drawing a sketch of the problem and its corresponding fre body diagram (See picture attached).

So, when we are talking about friction, there are two types of friction coefficients. Static and kinetic. Static friction happens when the box is not moving no matter what force you apply to it. You get to a certain force that is greater than the static friction and the box starts moving, it is then when the kinetic friction comes into play (kinetic friction is generally smaller than static friction). So in order to solve this problem, we must find an angle such that the static friction is the same as the force applie by gravity on the box. For it to be easier to analyze, we must incline the axis of coordinates, just as shown on the picture attached.

After doing an analysis of the free-body diagram, we can build our set of equations by using Newton's thrid law:

\sum F_{x}=0

we can see there are only two forces in x, which are the weight on x and the static friction, so:

-W_{x}+f_{s}=0

when solving for the static friction we get:

f_{s}=W_{x}

We know the weight is found by multiplying the mass by the acceleration of gravity, so:

W=mg

and:

W_{x}=mg sin \alpha

we can substitute this on our sum of forces equation:

f_{s}=mg sin \alpha

the static friction will depend on the normal force applied by the plane on the box, static friction is found by using the following equation:

f_{s}=N\mu_{s}

so we can substitute this on our equation:

N\mu_{s}=mg sin \alpha

but we don't know what the normal force is, so we need to find it by doing a sum of forces in y.

\sum F_{y}=0

In the y direction we got two forces as well, the normal force and the force due to gravity, so we get:

N-W_{y}=0

when solving for N we get:

N=W_{y}

When seeing the free-body diagram we can determine that:

W_{y}=mg cos \alpha

so we can substitute that in the sum of y-forces equation, so we get:

N=mg cos \alpha

we can go ahead and substitute this equation in the sum of forces in x equation so we get:

mg cos \alpha \mu_{s}=mg sin \alpha

we can divide both sides of the equation into mg so we get:

cos \alpha \mu_{s}=sin \alpha

as you may see, the angle doesn't depend on the mass of the box, only on the static coefficient of friction. When solving for \mu_{s} we get:

\mu_{s}=\frac{sin \alpha}{cos \alpha}

when simplifying this we get that:

\mu_{s}=tan \alpha

now we can solve for the angle so we get:

\alpha= tan^{-1}(\mu_{s})

and we can substitute the given value so we get:

\alpha= tan^{-1}(0.350)

which yields:

α=19.29°

which rounds to:

α=19°

Describe the interactive roles and statuses of individuals and groups in your community.
julia-pushkina [17]
In our community, every person takes a certain role in a way that they contribute something for the development of the community. Certain interactive roles include trainings, team buildings, meetings, fund raising, and etc. Every individual has also gained their own statuses depending on what they have achieved and what they have contributed as well. Those individuals that are classified in the higher statuses are those who are experienced and trained to lead. These roles and statuses help our community become better as well as helping the youth to be great models and individuals in the future.
