C. 20 m/s²

The centripetal acceleration of the moon is nearly equal to 20 m/s²

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the moon : m = {1 \times 10^\(20}\ kg

Gravitational force : F_G = 2 \times 10^\(21 \)N

a_c = ?

As the gravitational force provides the centripetal force necessary for the moon to perform circular motion around the planet;

Centripetal Force = Gravitational force

F_C = F_G .....................(1)

Centripetal force \ F_C= m\times a_c \\ where\\ F_C = Centripetal force \\a_c= Centripetal \ acceleration \\ m=mass\ of \ the \ moon

From (1)

F_C = F_G = m \times a_c\\\\a_c = \frac{F_G}{m} = \frac{2 \times 10^\(21}{1 \times 10^\(20}

a_c = 2 \times 10 = 20 \ m/s^2

Centripetal acceleration = 20 m/s²

A balloon tied up with a wooden piece is moving upward with velocity of 15m/s. At a height of 300m above the ground, the wooden
Inessa05 [86]
Assume the wooden piece prevents the balloon from rising, is not so heavy as to cause the balloon to descend. and the 15 m/s is horizontal velocity “riding the wind,” That horizontal velocity does not affect the time the wood will take to reach the ground after release. Initial vertical velocity is zero.

s = u t + 1/2 g t^2

s is the height above ground, 300 m.

u is initial vertical velocity, zero.

t is time to reach the ground.

g is acceleration of gravity near Earth, 9.8 m/s^2.

300 m = 0 t + 1/2 (9.8 m/s^2) t^2

300 m = (4.9 m/s^2) t^2

61.22 s^2 = t^2

7.82 seconds = t

An astronaut stands on the surface of an asteroid. The astronaut then jumps such that the astronaut is no longer in contact with
Anna71 [15]

(D) The gravitational force between the astronaut and the asteroid.

Reason :

All the other forces given in the options, except (D), doesn't account for the motion of the astronaut. They are the forces that act between nucleons or atoms and neither of them accounts for an objects motion.

olganol [36]

Answer:

I = 113.014 kg.m^2

m = 2075.56 kg

wf = 3.942 rad/s

Explanation:

Given:

- The constant Force applied F = 300 N

- The radius of the wheel r = 0.33 m

- The angular acceleration α = 0.876 rad / s^2

Find:

(a) What is the moment of inertia of the wheel (in kg · m2)?

(b) What is the mass (in kg) of the wheel?

(c) The wheel starts from rest and the tangential force remains constant over a time period of t= 4.50 s. What is the angular speed (in rad/s) of the wheel at the end of this time period?

Solution:

- We will apply Newton's second law for the rotational motion of the disc given by:

                                   F*r = I*α

Where, I: The moment of inertia of the cylindrical wheel.

                                   I = F*r / α

                                   I = 300*0.33 / 0.876

                                  I = 113.014 kg.m^2

- Assuming the cylindrical wheel as cylindrical disc with moment inertia given as:

                                   I = 0.5*m*r^2

                                   m = 2*I / r^2

Where, m is the mass of the wheel in kg.

                                   m = 2*113.014 / 0.33^2

                                   m = 2075.56 kg

- The initial angular velocity wi = 0, after time t sec the final angular speed wf can be determined by rotational kinematics equation 1:

                                  wf = wi + α*t

                                  wf = 0 + 0.876*(4.5)

                                  wf = 3.942 rad/s

A crate on a motorized cart starts from rest and moves with a constant eastward acceleration ofa= 2.60 m/s^2. A worker assists t
Leona [35]

Answer:

To obtain the power, we first need to find the work made by the force.

1) To calculate the work, we need the next equation:

\int\limits {F} \, dx

So the force is given by the problem so our mission is to find 'dx' in terms of 't'

2) we know that:

\frac{dV}{dt} = a = 2.6

So we have:

v = 2.6t

Then:

\frac{dx}{dt} = V = 2.6t\\ \\dx = 2.6t*dt

3) Finally, we replace everything:

\int\limits^{4.7}_{0} {5.4t*2.6t} \, dt

After some calculation, we have as a result that the work is:

161.9638 J.

4) To calculate the power we need the next equation:

P = \frac{W}{t}

So

P = 161.9638/4.7 = 34.46 W
