mojhsa [17]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Is always towards the center of the Earth

Explanation:

As a satellite moves around the Earth in a circular orbit, the direction of the force of gravity is always towards the center of the Earth. At an altitude of 100 km, you would be so high that you would see black sky and stars if you looked upwards.

What is the density (in kg/m3) of a woman who floats in freshwater with 4.92% of her volume above the surface
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

The density of the woman is 950.8 kg/m³

Explanation:

Given;

fraction of the woman's volume above the surface = 4.92%

then, fraction of the woman's volume below the surface = 100 - 4.92% = 95.08%

the specific gravity of the woman = \frac{95.08}{100 } = 0.9508

The density of the woman is calculate as;

Specific \ gravity \ of \ the \ woman = \frac{Density \ of \ the \ woman }{Density \ of \ fresh \ water }\\\\ Density \ of \ the \ woman  = Specific \ gravity \ of \ the \ woman \ \times \ Density \ of \ fresh \ water

Density of fresh water = 1000 kg/m³

Density of the woman = 0.9508 x 1000 kg/m³

Density of the woman = 950.8 kg/m³

Therefore, the density of the woman is 950.8 kg/m³

A uniform meterstick of mass 0.20 kg is pivoted at the 40 cm mark. where should one hang a mass of 0.50 kg to balance the stick?
Tcecarenko [31]
The weight of the meterstick is:
W=mg=0.20 kg \cdot 9.81 m/s^2 = 1.97 N
and this weight is applied at the center of mass of the meterstick, so at x=0.50 m, therefore at a distance 
d_1 = 0.50 m - 0.40 m=0.10 m
from the pivot.
The torque generated by the weight of the meterstick around the pivot is:
M_w = W d_1 = (1.97 N)(0.10 m)=0.20 Nm

To keep the system in equilibrium, the mass of 0.50 kg must generate an equal torque with opposite direction of rotation, so it must be located at a distance d2 somewhere between x=0 and x=0.40 m. The magnitude of the torque should be the same, 0.20 Nm, and so we have:
(mg) d_2 = 0.20 Nm
from which we find the value of d2:
d_2 =  \frac{0.20 Nm}{mg}= \frac{0.20 Nm}{(0.5 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)}=0.04 m

So, the mass should be put at x=-0.04 m from the pivot, therefore at the x=36 cm mark.
