Answer:

g = 0.905 gE

W  = 67.9 N

Explanation:

given data

mass of Venus mv =  81.5% = 0.815

radius Rv = 94.9% = 0.949

weighs W = 75.0 N

solution

we apply here acceleration due to gravity at earth surface that is

g = \frac{Gm}{R^2}   = 9.80 m/s²  ............1

so

g = \frac{G(0.815)}{0.949R^2}  

g = 0.905 gE

and

W = m gv

W = 0.905 m gE

W  = 0.905 × 75

W  = 67.9 N

Andy is waiting at the signal. As soon as the light turns green, he accelerates his car at a uniform rate of 8.00 meters/second2
Tatiana [17]
You can reason it out like this:

-- The car starts from rest, and goes 8 m/s faster every second.

-- After 30 seconds, it's going (30 x 8) = 240 m/s.

-- Its average speed during that 30 sec is  (1/2) (0 + 240) = 120 m/s

-- Distance covered in 30 sec at an average speed of 120 m/s

                                                                           =  3,600 meters .
___________________________________

The formula that has all of this in it is the formula for
distance covered when accelerating from rest:

       Distance = (1/2) · (acceleration) · (time)²

                       = (1/2) ·      (8 m/s²)     · (30 sec)²

                       =      (4 m/s²)          ·      (900 sec²)

                       =            3600 meters.

When you translate these numbers into units for which
we have an intuitive feeling, you find that this problem is
quite bogus, but entertaining nonetheless.

When the light turns green, Andy mashes the pedal to the metal
and covers almost 2.25 miles in 30 seconds.

How does he do that ?

By accelerating at 8 m/s².  That's about 0.82 G  !

He does zero to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds, and at the end
of the 30 seconds, he's moving at 534 mph ! 

He doesn't need to worry about getting a speeding ticket.
Police cars and helicopters can't go that fast, and his local
police department doesn't have a jet fighter plane to chase
cars with.

A solenoid that is 35 cm long and contains 450 circular coils 2.0 cm in diameter carries a 1.75-A current. (a) What is the magne
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

a )  No of turns per metre

n = 450 / .35

= 1285.71

Magnetic field inside the solenoid

B = μ₀ n I

Where I is current

B = 4π x 10⁻⁷ x 1285.71 x 1.75

= 28.26 x 10⁻⁴ T

This is the uniform magnetic field inside the solenoid.

b )

Magnetic field around a very long wire at a distance d is given by the expression

B = ( μ₀ /4π ) X 2I / d

= 10⁻⁷ x 2 x ( 1.75 / .01 )

= .35 x 10⁻⁴ T

In the second case magnetic field is much less. It is due to the fact that in the solenoid magnetic field gets multiplied due to increase in the number of turns. In straight coil this does not happen .

You are on vacation in San Francisco and decide to take a cable car to see the city. A 5800-kgkg cable car goes 260 mm up a hill
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

4.325\times10^6J

Explanation:

Mass of the cable car, m = 5800 kg

It goes 260 m up a hill, along a slope of \theta=17^o

Therefore vertical elevation of the car = 260sin\theta=260sin17^o=76.0166m

Now, when you get into the cable car, it's velocity is zero, that is, initial kinetic energy is zero (since K.E. = \frac{1}{2} mv^2). Similarly as the car reaches the top, it halts and hence final kinetic energy is zero.

Therefore the only possible change in the cable car system is the change in it's gravitational potential energy.

Hence, total change in energy = mgh = 5800\times9.81\times76.0166J=4.325\times10^6J

where, g = acceleration due to gravity

h = height/vertical elevation

Which of the following statements is correct? Which of the following statements is correct? The more a muscle shortens, the more
NeX [460]

The correct answer are

a)  "The number of muscle fibers best determines how powerful a muscle will be"

b) "The more a muscle shortens, the more power it generates."

Reason :

Muscle fiber in longitudinal directions generate more power

Multipennate muscles do not produce much power because the tendon branches within muscle .
