A 10 Ton object is dropped from

Physics

1 answer:

SpyIntel [72]3 years ago

6 0

Answer: 9.8 m/s^2

Explanation: given that the mass of the object is 10 tons which is equal to 10 x 1000kg = 10,000kg

Also, since the air resistance is minimal, we can assume that it is negligible.

The object will therefore fall under the influence of gravity g which is equal to 9.8 m/s^2

the acceleration of the object will be equal to the acceleration due to gravity which is 9.8 m/s^2

A person who weighs 800N on the earth's surface will weigh 200N at what height above the earth

Marina86 [1]

Answer: 6,400 km

Explanation:

The weight of a person is given by:

$W=mg$

where m is the mass of the person and g is the acceleration due to gravity. While the mass does not depend on the height above the surface, the value of g does, following the formula:

$g=\frac{GM}{r^2}$

where

G is the gravitational constant

M is the Earth's mass

r is the distance of the person from the Earth's center

The problem says that the person weighs 800 N at the Earth's surface, so when r=R (Earth's radius):

$800 N= W=mg=m \frac{GM}{R^2}$ (1)

Now we want to find the height h above the surface at which the weight of the man is 200 N:

$200 N = W' = mg' = m \frac{GM}{(R+h)^2}$ (2)

If we divide eq.(1) by eq.(2), we get

$\frac{800 N}{200 N}=\frac{W}{W'}=\frac{(R+h)^2}{R^2}$

$4=\frac{(R+h)^2}{R^2}$

By solving the equation, we find:

$4R^2 = (R+h)^2=R^2+2Rh+h^2\\h^2 +2Rh-3R^2 =0$

which has two solutions:

$h=-3R$ --> negative solution, we can ignore it

$h=R$ --> this is our solution

Since the Earth's radius is $R=6.4\cdot 10^6 m$ , the person should be at $h=R=6.4\cdot 10^6 m=6400 km$ above Earth's surface.

Augie created this chart about the two kinds of waves. Which best labels the chart? Title 1 is "Longitudinal Waves," and Title 2

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

Explanation:

There are three types of waves mainly.

1. Mechanical waves : Which needs a medium for there propagation. For example, sound waves

2. Non mechanical waves : Which do not need a medium or their propagation.

for example, light waves

3. Electromagnetic waves : Which are produced due to the interaction of electric and magnetic field. for example, X rays, light waves

The wave motion are of two types.

1. Transverse wave motion

2. Longitudinal wave motion
