A high school physics teacher also happens to be the junior hockey team coach. During a break at practice, the coach asks two pl

ayers to go to the center of the ice with a 10.0-m pole. A 40-kg player is at one end of the pole and a 60-kg player is at the other end. The players then start pulling themselves together by pulling the rod and sliding on the ice as they move along the rod. When the two players meet, what distance will the 60-kg player have moved

4 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Since no external force acts on the system , centre of mass of two players will remain the same throughout the movement .

Distance of centre of mass is inversely proportional to mass . So centre of mass of the system will be nearer to 60 kg player

Distance of cetre of mass from 60 kg player

= 10 x 40 / (60+40 )

= 4 m

They will meet at centre of mass .

So, 60 kg player will be moving by a distance of 4 m , 40 kg player will be moving by 6 m before they meet .

The inductive reactance of the circuit is exactly twice the resistance: XL=2R. Adjust the phasor that represents the voltage acr
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

∅=63.43^{0}

Explanation:

z=impedance

x_{l}=2R

R=R

The resultant of the resistances in the circuit is called impedance

x_{l} is inductive reactance of the circuit

R is the resistance of the resistor

z=\sqrt{xl^{2}+R^2 }

z=\sqrt{2R^{2}+R^2 }

Z=\sqrt{5R^2}

Z=R\sqrt{5}ohms

tan∅=2R/R

tan∅=2

∅=Tan^-1(2)

∅=63.43^{0}

phase angle is ∅=63.43^{0}

A satellite orbits the earth a distance of 1.50 × 107 m above the planet's surface and takes 8.65 hours for each revolution abou
kupik [55]

Answer:

The acceleration of the satellite is 0.87 m/s^{2}

Explanation:

The acceleration in a circular motion is defined as:

a = \frac{v^{2}}{r}  (1)

Where a is the centripetal acceleration, v the velocity and r is the radius.

The equation of the orbital velocity is defined as

v = \frac{2 \pi r}{T} (2)

Where r is the radius and T is the period

For this particular case, the radius will be the sum of the high of the satellite (1.50x10^{7} m) and the Earth radius (6.38x10^{6} m) :

r = 1.50x10^{7} m+6.38x10^{6}m

r = 21.38x10^{6}m

Then, equation 2 can be used:

T = 8.65 hrs \cdot \frac{3600 s}{1hrs} ⇒ 31140 s

v = \frac{2 \pi (21.38x10^{6}m)}{31140s}

v = 4313 m/s

Finally equation 1 can be used:

a = \frac{(4313m/s)^{2}}{21.38x10^{6}m}    

a = 0.87 m/s^{2}

Hence, the acceleration of the satellite is 0.87 m/s^{2}
