There is strong evidence that Europa, a satellite of Jupiter, has a liquid ocean beneath its icy surface. Many scientists think

Answer:

4.44 rpm

Explanation:

$\omega$ = Angular speed

G = Gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²

r = Radius of Europa = $\frac{3138000}{2}\ m$

R = Radius of arm = 6 m

The acceleration due to gravity is given by

$g=\frac{GM}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow g=\frac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 4.8\times 10^{22}}{\left(\frac{3138000}{2}\right)^2}\\\Rightarrow g=1.3\ m/s^2$

Here the centripetal acceleration of the arm and acceleration due to gravity are equal

$a_c=\omega^2R$

$a_c=g\\\Rightarrow \omega^2R=1.3\\\Rightarrow \omega^2\times 6=1.3\\\Rightarrow \omega=\sqrt{\frac{1.3}{6}}\\\Rightarrow \omega=0.46547\ rad/s$

Converting to rpm

$1\ rad/s=\frac{60}{2\pi}\ rpm$

$0.46547\ rad/s=0.46547\times \frac{60}{2\pi}\ rpm=4.44\ rpm$

The angular speed of the arm is 4.44 rpm

A person can jump 1.5m on the earth. How high could the person jump on a planet having the twice the mass of the earth and twice

MrMuchimi

F=mg=Gm1m2/r^2
g=Gm2/r^2
g=2Gm2/(2r)^2=2Gm2/4r^2=Gm2/2r^2
So since there is half times the gravity on this unknown planet that has twice earth's mass and twice it's radius, then the person can jump twice as high. 1.5*2= 3m high

IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

176,000 N

Explanation:

Newton's second law:

∑F = ma

F = (4 × 40,000 kg) (1.1 m/s²)

F = 176,000 N
