Your spaceship lands on an unknown planet. To determine the characteristics of this planet, you drop a wrench from 3.50 m above the ground and measure that it hits the ground 0.809 s later.
Assuming that the planet has the same density as that of earth (5500 kg/m3), what is the radius of the planet?

Answers

Answer 1

Explanation:

By the formula,

[tex]s=ut+\frac12at^2[/tex]

[tex]-3.5=0+\frac12a(0.809)^2[/tex]

[tex]a=-10.659 ms^{-2}[/tex]

where a is the acceleration of objects by gravity.

We also know that by the Law of Gravitation,

[tex]F=-\frac{GMm}{r^2}=ma[/tex]

[tex]a=-\frac{GM}{r^2}[/tex]

The mass of the planet is given by

[tex]M=\rho V=\rho(\frac 43\pi r^3)[/tex]

So

[tex]a=-\frac{G(\rho\frac 43\pi R^3)}{r^2}= - \frac{(6.67 \times 10^{-11})(5500)(\frac43)\pi R^3}{(R+3.5)^2} = -10.659[/tex]

Since R>>3.5, so we approximate

[tex](R+3.5)^2\approx R^2[/tex]

Solving the last equation,

[tex]R=6936.483 km[/tex]

the weight of a girl is 400N .the area of each shoe with which she is standing is 40cm square . calculate the pressure exerted by her both feet?​

Answers

Answer:

P=2*[tex]10^{5}[/tex]Pa

Explanation:

P=P1+P2

P1=[tex]\frac{F}{A}[/tex]

Putting the values

P1=[tex]\frac{400}{40*10^{-4} }[/tex]

P1=1*[tex]10^{5}[/tex]

It is the pressure exerted by 1 feet

Pressure exerted by 2nd feet is also equal to the pressure exerted by 1st feet then

P2=1*[tex]10^{5}[/tex]

P=P1+P2

P=(1*[tex]10^{5}[/tex])+(1*[tex]10^{5}[/tex])

P=200000Pa

P=2*[tex]10^{5}[/tex] Pa

Question 3 A woman sitting in a stationary car notices a man cycling past her at 40 km/hr. Five seconds after he passes her car, she starts following after him. What is the shortest possible distance in which she will catch up to the cyclist if he maintains hrs speep and she obeys the speed limit of 70 km/hr? The car has a maximum acceleration

Answers

The shortest possible distance in which she catches up with the man is 129.7 m.

The given parameters:

speed of the man, v₁ = 40 km/hr

speed of the woman, v₂ = 70 km/hr

time when the woman started moving, t₁ = 5 seconds

To find:

the shortest distance when she catches up with the man

Convert the given speed in km/h to m/s

3.6 km/h = 1 m/s40 km/h = 40/3.6 = 11.11 m/s70 km/h = 70/3.6 = 19.44 m/s

Calculate the distance moved by the man before she started following him.

Distance moved by the man = speed x time

                                                = 11.11 m/s  x  5 s

                                                = 55.55 m

Let the time the woman catches up with the man = t

Apply the following simple principle to calculate the time.

The man is moving forward and the woman is moving forward to close the gap between them, thus both speeds are working against each other.

[tex](v_2-v_1)t = 55.55 \ m[/tex]

the difference in the speed is because they are working against each other.

[tex](19.44 - 11.11)t = 55.55\\\\8.33t = 55.55\\\\t = \frac{55.55}{8.33} \\\\t = 6.67 \ s[/tex]

The time when the woman catches up with the man = 6.67 s

The shortest distance at which the woman catches up with the man is calculated as;

Shortest distance = woman's speed x time when she catches up

                               = 19.44 m/s    x  6.67 s

                               = 129.7 m

Thus, the shortest possible distance in which she catches up with the man is 129.7 m.

If a point has 40 J of energy and the electric potential is 8 V, the charge must be: A. 5 C

Given the following the details;

Energy = 40 JoulesElectric potential = 8 Volts

To find the quantity of charge;

Mathematically, the quantity of charge with respect to electric potential is given by the formula;

[tex]Quantity \; of \; charge = \frac{Energy}{Electric \; potential}[/tex]

Substituting the values into the formula, we have;

[tex]Quantity \; of \; charge = \frac{40}{8}[/tex]

Quantity of charge = 5 Coulombs

Therefore, the quantity of charge must be 5 Coulombs.

Geomagnetic storms travel at the speed of light, while solar wind takes four days to reach Earth.
Geomagnetic storms occur only occasionally, solar wind is constant.
Geomagnetic storms are associated with CMEs, solar wind is associated with the constant activity in the sun
Geomagnetic storms are constant, solar wind occurs only occasionally.

Answers

We have that the three correct answers are

"Solar wind sometimes results in geomagnetic storms, geomagnetic storms do not cause solar wind" is a correct statement from the definition above."Geomagnetic storms occur only occasionally, solar wind is constant."This statement is correct as the sun emission of solar wind particles are constant but Geomagnetic storms are occasional."Geomagnetic storms are associated with CMEs, solar wind is associated with the constant activity in the sun" This statement is correct as CMEs(  Coronal Mass Ejections) are sometimes the main reason for  Geomagnetic storms

We First define the two Phenomenons

Solar Winds

These are Particles such as Plasma and other Harmful particles Dispersed by the sun of the a galaxy that can be harmful to Humans.

Geomagnetic storm

A Geometric storm is a kind of storm that comes about because of the an attack of the solar wind on earths magnetic field above atmosphere.

Therefore

"Solar wind sometimes results in geomagnetic storms, geomagnetic storms do not cause solar wind" is a correct statement from the definition above.

"Geomagnetic storms travel at the speed of light, while solar wind takes four days to reach Earth." This is false as Geometric storms are the Phenomenons that emanate on earth.

"Geomagnetic storms occur only occasionally, solar wind is constant."This statement is correct as the sun emission of solar wind particles are constant but Geomagnetic storms are occasional.

"Geomagnetic storms are associated with CMEs, solar wind is associated with the constant activity in the sun" This statement is correct as CMEs(  Coronal Mass Ejections) are sometimes the main reason for  Geomagnetic storms

"Geomagnetic storms are constant, solar wind occurs only occasionally."This statement is False as Stated in the definitions above

In conclusion

The three correct answers are

"Solar wind sometimes results in geomagnetic storms, geomagnetic storms do not cause solar wind" is a correct statement from the definition above."Geomagnetic storms occur only occasionally, solar wind is constant."This statement is correct as the sun emission of solar wind particles are constant but Geomagnetic storms are occasional."Geomagnetic storms are associated with CMEs, solar wind is associated with the constant activity in the sun" This statement is correct as CMEs(  Coronal Mass Ejections) are sometimes the main reason for  Geomagnetic storms

Answer:

attracted

Explanation:

opposite charges attract each other when the rub against each other

Answer:

This depends because the electrostatic force obeys the principle that states that force between both of the particles does not get affected by the charges of the other thus if the needle is getting attracted it possess negative charges( the opposite charge) .And if they repel it means they have the same charges ( positive charges).

Answers

Answer:

The trolley moves because a force of exertion is pushed onto it when the boy launches himself onto it. It also moves in a direction, so velocity is applied to it.

The velocity goes from stand-still to something. Also, to find velocity, I think acceleration and time are 2 constants that are needed to find velocity, which is not present in the question.
