Answer:

A) Gravitational Force of Rock = 48.995N

Gravitational Force of Pebble = 2.94 x 10^(-3) N

B) Magnitude of acceleration of rock = 9.8 m/s²

Magnitude of acceleration of pebble = 9.8 m/s²

Explanation:

A) First of all, let's solve for the rock;

From Newton's law of universal gravitation, gravitational force is;

Fg = (Gm1m2)/r²

Where G is a constant = 6.67 × 10^(-11) Nm² /kg2²

Mass of earth (m1) = 5.97 × 10^24 kg

Radius of earth (r) = 6.38 × 10^6 m²

Mass of rock (m2) = 5kg.

Thus, Fg = [6.67 × 10^(-11) x 5.97 × 10^24 x 5] / (6.38 × 10^6)² = 48.995N

Doing the same for the pebble of mass 3 x 10^(-4) kg;

Thus, Fg = [6.67 × 10^(-11) x 5.97 × 10^(24) x 3 x 10^(-4)] / (6.38 × 10^6)² = 2.94 x 10^(-3) N

B) Let's calculate for the acceleration of the rock;

We know that Fg = ma

Thus, Let's make a the subject of the formula,

So, Fg/m = a

Substituting rock value of Fg and m to get;

48.995/5 = 9.8 m/s²

Now let's do the same for the pebble;

Fg/m = a

Substituting pebble value of Fg and m to get;

[2.94 x 10^(-3) N] / (3 x 10^(-4)) = 9.8 m/s²

Answer:

a). Determine the magnitude of the gravitational force exerted on each by the earth.

Rock: $F = 49.06N$

Pebble: $F = 29.44N$

(b)Calculate the magnitude of the acceleration of each object when released.

Rock: $a =9.8m/s^{2}$

Pebble: $a =9.8m/s^{2}$

Explanation:

The universal law of gravitation is defined as:

$F = G\frac{m1m2}{r^{2}}$ (1)

Where G is the gravitational constant, m1 and m2 are the masses of the two objects and r is the distance between them.

<em>Case for the rock </em> $m = 5.0 Kg$ <em>:</em>

m1 will be equal to the mass of the Earth $m1 = 5.972×10^{24} Kg$ and since the rock and the pebble are held near the surface of the Earth, then, r will be equal to the radius of the Earth $r = 6371000m$ .

$F = (6.67x10^{-11}kg.m/s^{2}.m^{2}/kg^{2})\frac{(5.972x10^{24} Kg)(5.0 Kg)}{(6371000 m)^{2}}$

$F = 49.06N$

Newton's second law can be used to know the acceleration.

$F = ma$

$a =\frac{F}{m}$ (2)

$a =\frac{(49.06 Kg.m/s^{2})}{(5.0 Kg)}$

$a =9.8m/s^{2}$

<em>Case for the pebble </em> $m = 3.0 Kg$ <em>:</em>

$F = (6.67x10^{-11}kg.m/s^{2}.m^{2}/kg^{2})\frac{(5.972x10^{24} Kg)(3.0 Kg)}{(6371000 m)^{2}}$

$F = 29.44N$

$a =\frac{F}{m}$

$a =\frac{(29.44 Kg.m/s^{2})}{(3.0 Kg)}$

$a =9.8m/s^{2}$

If a current of 2.4 a is flowing in a cylindrical wire of diameter 2.0 mm, what is the average current density in this wire?

Gnom [1K]

The average current density in the wire is given by:

$J=\frac{I}{A}$

where I is the current intensity and A is the cross-sectional area of the wire.

The cross-sectional area of the wire is given by:

$A=\pi r^2$

where r is the radius of the wire. In this problem, $r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{2.0 mm}{2}=1.0 mm=0.001 m$ , so the cross-sectional area is

$A=\pi (0.001 m)^2=3.14 \cdot 10^{-6} m^2$

and the average current density is

$J=\frac{I}{A}=\frac{2.4 A}{3.14 \cdot 10^{-6} m^2}=7.64 \cdot 10^5 A/m^2$

Kay [80]

<span>Poet Kuangchi Chang did not remain in China long enough to be "re-educated." Following the Communist takeover he fled to the United States. His poem "Garden of My Childhood" describes China before the revolution as a peaceful, idyllic garden with a violent horde rapidly approaching. A vine, the wind, and the sea are each personified, and each beckons for him to run. It is not until "eons later," when he is "worlds away," that his "running is all done," and he finds himself at his destination: another garden, just like the one he had left behind.</span>

A rocket in deep space has an exhaust-gas speed of 2000 m/s. When the rocket is fully loaded, the mass of the fuel is five times

notka56 [123]

Answer:

$v_{f}$ = 1,386 m / s

Explanation:

Rocket propulsion is a moment process that described by the expression

$v_{f}$ - v₀ = $v_{r}$ ln (M₀ / Mf)

Where v are the velocities, final, initial and relative and M the masses

The data they give are the relative velocity (see = 2000 m / s) and the initial mass the mass of the loaded rocket (M₀ = 5Mf)

We consider that the rocket starts from rest (v₀ = 0)

At the time of burning half of the fuel the mass ratio is that the current mass is

M = 2.5 Mf

$v_{f}$ - 0 = 2000 ln (5Mf / 2.5 Mf) = 2000 ln 2

$v_{f}$ = 1,386 m / s

luggage handler pulls a 20.0 kg suitcase up a ramp inclined at 34.0 ∘ above the horizontal by a force F⃗ of magnitude 165 N that

Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

a) W = 643.5 J, b) W = -427.4 J

Explanation:

a) Work is defined by

W = F. x = F x cos θ

in this case they ask us for the work done by the external force F = 165 N parallel to the ramp, therefore the angle between this force and the displacement is zero

W = F x

let's calculate

W = 165 3.9

W = 643.5 J

b) the work of the gravitational force, which is the weight of the body, in ramp problems the coordinate system is one axis parallel to the plane and the other perpendicular, let's use trigonometry to decompose the weight in these two axes

sin θ = Wₓ / W

cos θ = Wy / W

Wₓ = W sinθ = mg sin θ

Wy = W cos θ

the work carried out by each of these components is even Wₓ, it has to be antiparallel to the displacement, so the angle is zero

W = Wₓ x cos 180

W = - mg sin 34 x

let's calculate

W = -20 9.8 sin 34 3.9

W = -427.4 J

The work done by the component perpendicular to the plane is ero because the angle between the displacement and the weight component is 90º, so the cosine is zero.
