The space shuttle is located exactly half way between the earth and the moon. Which statement is true regarding the gravitationa

l pull on the shuttle? A) The moon pulls more on the shuttle. B) The earth pulls more on the shuttle. C) Both are equal due to equal distances. D) Both are equal due to the mass of the shuttle.

B

The earth is larger (approximately 6 times larger) than the moon hence it will have a stronger gravitational pull on the shuttle than the moon has on the shuttle. Because the shuttle is halfway between the moon and earth, the influence of distance in the gravity formula between the two is negated.

Explanation:

Gravitation force depends on distance and mass of objects in the universe. The bigger the mass of an object the higher its gravitational pull while the shorter the distance between the objects the higher the gravitaiton pull between the two. This phenomenon is described by the formulae below;

F = G (M1 – M2) / r2

Where;

F = gravitational force

G = Gravitational constant

M1 = mass of the first object

M2 = mas of the second object

R = distance between the two objects

B. The mass of the earth is much greater than that of the moon, and therefore since it is the same distance between the moon and the earth the gravitational pull from the earth is stronger than that of the moon.

The capacitance of the variable capacitor of a radio can be changed from 100 to 350 pF by turning the dial from 0° to 180°. With
tangare [24]

Answer:

0.7 mJ

Explanation:

<u>Identify the unknown:  </u>

The work required to turn the dial from 180° to 0°  

<u>List the Knowns:  </u>

Capacitance when the dial is set at 180°: C = 350 pF = 350 x 10^-12 F Capacitance when the dial is set at 0°: C = 100 pF = 100 x 10^-12 F  

Voltage of the battery: V = 130 V  

<u>Set Up the Problem:</u>  

<em><u>Energy stored in a capacitor: </u></em>

U_c=1/2*V^2*C

      =1/2*Q^2/C

<em><u>When the dial is set at 180°:</u></em><em>  </em>

U_c=1/2*(130)^2*350*10^-12=10^-4

Q=√2*U_c*C=4*10^-7

<u><em>When the dial is set at 0°:</em></u>  

U_c=1/2*(4*10^-7)^2/100*10^-12

      =8*10^-4 J

<u><em>Solve the Problem:  </em></u>

ΔU_c=7*10^-4 J

        =0.7 mJ

note:

there maybe error in calculation but method is correct

What is the magnitude of the average force required to stop an 1200 kg car in 9.0 s if the car is traveling at 80 km/h ? Express
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer: 2960N

Explanation:

According to newtons first law of motion, force = mass × acceleration

To get acceleration,

Acceleration = velocity/time

Velocity = 80km/hr

Converting the velocity to m/s

80×1000/1×3600

velocity = 22.2m/s

Time = 9secs

Acceleration=22.2/9

Acceleration = 2.47m/s²

The get the force

F= 1200×2.47

F = 2960N
