Answer:

A. 490

Explanation:

soln

mass = m = 5kg

Height = h = 10m

Acceleration due to gravity = g = 9.8ms²

K.E = 1/2 × mass × (velocity)²

Recall from equations of motion

v² = u² + 2gh

Therefore,

K.E = 1/2 × mass × ( u² + 2gh)

K.E = 1/2 × 5 × ( 0² + 2×10×9.8)

K.E = 1/2 × 5 × 196

K.E = 1/2 × 980

K.E = 490 Joules

A 170 kg astronaut (including space suit) acquires a speed of 2.25 m/s by pushing off with his legs from a 2600 kg space capsule

saw5 [17]

Explanation:

Mass of the astronaut, m₁ = 170 kg

Speed of astronaut, v₁ = 2.25 m/s

mass of space capsule, m₂ = 2600 kg

Let v₂ is the speed of the space capsule. It can be calculated using the conservation of momentum as :

initial momentum = final momentum

Since, initial momentum is zero. So,

$m_1v_1+m_2v_2=0$

$170\ kg\times 2.25\ m/s+2600\ kg\times v_2=0$

$v_2=-0.17\ m/s$

So, the change in speed of the space capsule is 0.17 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

lanet R47A is a spherical planet where the gravitational acceleration on the surface is 3.45 m/s2. A satellite orbitsPlanet R47A

qaws [65]

$2.6×10^6\:\text{m}$

Explanation:

The acceleration due to gravity g is defined as

$g = G\dfrac{M}{R^2}$

and solving for R, we find that

$R = \sqrt{\dfrac{GM}{g}}\:\:\:\:\:\:\:(1)$

We need the mass M of the planet first and we can do that by noting that the centripetal acceleration $F_c$ experienced by the satellite is equal to the gravitational force $F_G$ or

$F_c = F_G \Rightarrow m\dfrac{v^2}{r} = G\dfrac{mM}{r^2}\:\:\:\:\:(2)$

The orbital velocity <em>v</em> is the velocity of the satellite around the planet defined as

$v = \dfrac{2\pi r}{T}$

where <em>r</em><em> </em>is the radius of the satellite's orbit in meters and <em>T</em> is the period or the time it takes for the satellite to circle the planet in seconds. We can then rewrite Eqn(2) as

$\dfrac{4\pi^2 r}{T^2} = G\dfrac{M}{r^2}$

Solving for <em>M</em>, we get

$M = \dfrac{4\pi^2 r^3}{GT^2}$

Putting this expression back into Eqn(1), we get

$R = \sqrt{\dfrac{G}{g}\left(\dfrac{4\pi^2 r^3}{GT^2}\right)}$

$\:\:\:\:=\dfrac{2\pi}{T}\sqrt{\dfrac{r^3}{g}}$

$\:\:\:\:=\dfrac{2\pi}{(1.44×10^4\:\text{s})}\sqrt{\dfrac{(5×10^6\:\text{m})^3}{(3.45\:\text{m/s}^2)}}$

$\:\:\:\:= 2.6×10^6\:\text{m}$

A toy rocket is launched with an initial velocity of 12.0 m/s in the horizontal direction from the roof of a 30.0-m-tall buildin

OlgaM077 [116]

Solution :

The motion in the y direction.

The time taken by the toy rocket to hit the ground,

$S=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

S = distance travelled = 30 m

u = 0 m/s

a = $9.8 \ m/sec^2$

t= time in seconds

Therefore, $30 =\frac{1}{2}9.8 t^2$

t = 2.47 sec

Now motion in the x direction,

u = 12 m/sec

$a=1.6 t \ m/sec^3$

Upon integration 'v' with respect to 't'

$v=\frac{1.6t^2}{2}+12$

Once again integrating with respect to t,

$s=\frac{1.6t^3}{6}+12 t$

$s=\frac{1.6(2.47)^3}{6}+12 (2.47)$

= 0.0176+29.64

= 29.65 m

Therefore, the toy rocket will hit the ground at 29.65 m from the building.
