You are using a lightweight rope to pull a sled along level ground. The sled weighs 485 N, the coefficient of kinetic friction b

etween the sled and the ground is 0.200, the rope is at an angle of 12∘ above the horizontal, and you pull on the rope with a force of 125 N. Find the normal force that the ground exerts on the sled.

Answer:

$N=459.01N$

Explanation:

According to Newton's first law:

$N+F_y-W=0$

The component of the force on the y-axis can be obtained through the Pythagorean Theorem. This is because the components are the cathetus of a right triangle and its hypotenuse is the magnitude of the force:

$sin12^\circ=\frac{F_y}{F}\\F_y=Fsin12^\circ$

Replacing and solving for N:

$N=W-Fsin12^\circ\\N=485N-(125N)sin12^\circ\\N=459.01N$

An astronaut weighs 8.00 × 102 newtons on the sur- face of Earth. What is the weight of the astronaut 6.37 × 106 meters above th

kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

$mg=200.4 N$ .

Explanation:

This problem can be solved using Newton's law of universal gravitation: $F=G\frac{m_{1}m_{2}}{r^{2}}$ ,

where F is the gravitational force between two masses $m_{1}$ and $m_{2}$ , $r$ is the distance between the masses (their center of mass), and $G=6.674*10^{-11}(m^{3}kg^{-1}s^{-2})$ is the gravitational constant.

We know the weight of the astronout on the surface, with this we can find his mass. Letting $w_{s}$ be the weight on the surface:

$w_{s}=mg$ ,

$mg=8*10^{2}$ ,

$m=(8*10^{2})/g$ ,

since we now that $g=9.8m/s^{2}$ we get that the mass is

$m=81.6kg$ .

Now we can use Newton's law of universal gravitation

$F=G\frac{Mm}{r^{2}}$ ,

where $m$ is the mass of the astronaut and $M$ is the mass of the earth. From Newton's second law we know that

$F=ma$ ,

in this case the acceleration is the gravity so

$F=mg$ , (<u>becarefull, gravity at this point is no longer</u> $9.8m/s^{2}$ <u>because we are not in the surface anymore</u>)

and this get us to

$mg=G\frac{Mm}{r^{2}}$ , where $mg$ is his new weight.

We need to remember that the mass of the earth is $M=5.972*10^{24}kg$ and its radius is $6.37*10^{6}m$ .

The total distance between the astronaut and the earth is

$r=(6.37*10^{6}+6.37*10^{6})=2(6.37*10^{6})=12.74*10^{6}$ meters.

Now we can compute his weigh:

$mg=G\frac{Mm}{r^{2}}$ ,

$mg=(6.674*10^{-11})\frac{(5.972*10^{24})(81.6)}{(12.74*10^{6})^{2}}$ ,

$mg=200.4 N$ .

A team of astronauts is on a mission to land on and explore a large asteroid. In addition to collecting samples and performing e

<h2>Answer: 117.626m/s</h2>

Explanation:

The escape velocity $V_{esc}$ is given by the following equation:

$V_{esc}=\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R}}$ (1)

Where:

$G$ is the Gravitational Constant and its value is $6.674(10)^{-11}\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}}$

$M$ is the mass of the asteroid

$R$ is the radius of the asteroid

On the other hand, we know the density of the asteroid is $\rho=3.84(10)^{8}g/m^{3}$ and its volume is $V=2.17(10)^{12}m^{3}$ .

The density of a body is given by:

$\rho=\frac{M}{V}$ (2)

Finding $M$ :

$M=\rhoV=(3.84(10)^{8} g/m^{3})(2.17(10)^{12}m^{3})$ (3)

$M=8.33(10)^{20}g=8.33(10)^{17}kg$ (4) This is the mass of the spherical asteroid

In addition, we know the volume of a sphere is given by the following formula:

$V=\frac{4}{3}\piR^{3}$ (5)

Finding $R$ :

$R=\sqrt[3]{\frac{3V}{4\pi}}$ (6)

$R=\sqrt[3]{\frac{3(2.17(10)^{12}m^{3})}{4\pi}}$ (7)

$R=8031.38m$ (8) This is the radius of the asteroid

Now we have all the necessary elements to calculate the escape velocity from (1):

$V_{esc}=\sqrt{\frac{2(6.674(10)^{-11}\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}})(8.33(10)^{17}kg)}{8031.38m}}$ (9)

Finally:

$V_{esc}=117.626m/s$ This is the minimum initial speed the rocks need to be thrown in order for them never return back to the asteroid.
