Answer:

The planet Jupiter completes one revolution of the sun in 362710000 seconds. Long time, right?

Explanation:

3.154x10^7=3.154x10000000=31540000

11.5x31540000=362710000

When an unbalanced force acts on an object the change in the objects ____or ____ depends on the size and direction of the force

timama [110]

When an unbalanced force acts on an object the change in the object state of rest or motion depends on the size and direction of the force.

If a body is at state of rest or motion, when an unbalanced external force acts on it, its starts moving in the direction of force and magnitude of its velocity or acceleration depends on the magnitude of force applied.

What would be the escape speed for a craft launched from a space elevator at a height of 54,000 km?

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer: 3.63 km/s

Explanation:

The escape velocity equation for a craft launched from the Earth surface is:

$V_{e}=\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R}}$

Where:

$V_{e}$ is the escape velocity

$G=6.67(10)^{-11} Nm^{2}/kg^{2}$ is the Universal Gravitational constant

$M=5.976(10)^{24}kg$ is the mass of the Earth

$R=6371 km=6371000 m$ is the Earth's radius

However, in this situation the craft would be launched at a height $h=54000 km=54000000 m$ over the Eart's surface with a space elevator. Hence, we have to add this height to the equation:

$V_{e}=\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R+h}}$

$V_{e}=\sqrt{\frac{2(6.67(10)^{-11} Nm^{2}/kg^{2})(5.976(10)^{24}kg)}{6371000 m+54000000 m}}$

Finally:

$V_{e}=3633.86 m/s \approx 3.63 km/s$

A playground slide is in the form of an arc of a circle with a maximum height of 3.0 m, with a radius of 8.5 m, and with the gro

julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

a) $s \approx 6.676\,m$

Explanation:

a) Let assume that the ground is not inclined, since the bottom of the playground slide is tangent to ground. Then, the length of given by the definition of a circular arc:

$s = \frac{\pi}{4}\cdot R$

$s=\frac{\pi}{4}\cdot (8.5\,m)$

$s \approx 6.676\,m$

The bottom of the slide has a height of zero. The physical phenomenon around Dr. Ritchey's daughter is modelled after Principle of Energy Conservation. The child begins at rest:

$U_{g,A} = K_{B} + W_{fr}$

$m\cdot g \cdot h_{A} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot v_{B}^{2} + f\cdot s$

The average frictional force is cleared within the expression:

$f = \frac{m\cdot (g\cdot h_{A}-\frac{1}{2}\cdot v_{B}^{2})}{s}$

$f = \frac{(12\,kg)\cdot [(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )\cdot (3\,m)-\frac{1}{2}\cdot (4.5\,\frac{m}{s} )^{2} ]}{6.676\,m}$

$f = 34.684\,N$
