Answer:

The friend on moon will be richer.

Explanation:

We must calculate the mass of gold won by each person, to tell who is richer. For that purpose we will use the following formula:

W = mg

m = W/g

where,

m = mass of gold

W = weight of gold

g = acceleration due to gravity on that planet

<u>FOR FRIEND ON MOON</u>:

W = 1 N

g = 1.625 m/s²

Therefore,

m = (1 N)/(1.625 m/s²)

m(moon) = 0.6 kg

<u>FOR ME ON EARTH</u>:

W = 1 N

g = 9.8 m/s²

Therefore,

m = (1 N)/(9.8 m/s²)

m(earth) = 0.1 kg

Since, the mass of gold on moon is greater than the mass of moon on earth.

<u>Therefore, the friend on moon will be richer.</u>

A vehicle has an initial velocity of v0 when a tree falls on the roadway a distance xf in front of the vehicle. The driver has a
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

v^2=v_o^2-2\times a\times (v_o.t)

Explanation:

Given:

Initial velocity of the vehicle, v_o

distance between the car and the tree, x_f

time taken to respond to the situation, t

acceleration of the car after braking, a

Using equation of motion:

v^2=u^2+2a.s ..............(1)

where:

v= final velocity of the car when it hits the tree

u= initial velocity of the  car when the tree falls

a= acceleration after the brakes are applied

s= distance between the tree and the car after the brakes are applied.

s=v_o\times t

Now for this situation the eq. (1) becomes:

v^2=v_o^2-2\times a\times (v_o.t) (negative sign is for the deceleration after the brake is applied to the car.)

If a young protostar with a disk is rotating and shrinking. how much faster is it rotating after its size has decreased by a fac
maks197457 [2]
In this system we have the conservation of angular momentum: L₁ = L₂
We can write L = m·r²·ω

Therefore, we will have:
m₁ · r₁² · ω₁ = m₂ · r₂² · ω₂

The mass stays constant, therefore it cancels out, and we can solve for ω<span>₂:
</span>ω₂ =  (r₁/ r₂)² · ω<span>₁
     
Since we know that r</span>₁ = 4r<span>₂, we get:
</span>ω₂ =  (4)² · ω<span>₁
     = 16 </span>· ω<span>₁

Hence, the protostar will be rotating 16 </span><span>times faster.</span>

A 10kg rocket is traveling at 80 m/s when the booster engine applies a constant forward force of 60 N for 3.0 seconds. What impu
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

Impulse = 90

Resulting Velocity = 89

Explanation:

Use F * change in time = m * change in velocity.

For the first part of the question, the left side of the equation is the impulse. Plug it in.

60 * (3.0 - 0) = 90.

For the second half. we use all parts of the equation. I'm gonna use vf for the final velocity.

60 * (3.0 - 0) = 10 * (vf - 80). Simplify.

90 = 10vf - 800. Simplify again.

890 = 10vf. Divide to simplify and get the answer.

The resulting velocity is 89.

Suppose a rectangular piece of aluminum has a length D, and its square cross section has the dimensions W XW, where D (W x W) to
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

R₂ / R₁ = D / L

Explanation:

The resistance of a metal is

        R = ρ L / A

Where ρ is the resistivity of aluminum, L is the length of the resistance and A its cross section

We apply this formal to both configurations

Small face measurements (W W)

The length is

         L = W

Area  

         A = W W = W²

        R₁ = ρ W / W² = ρ / W

Large face measurements (D L)

       Length L = D= 2W

       Area     A = W L

     R₂ = ρ D / WL = ρ 2W / W L = 2 ρ/L

The relationship is

    R₂ / R₁ = 2W²/L

A particle with a charge of -1.24 x 10"° C is moving with instantaneous velocity (4.19 X 104 m/s)î + (-3.85 X 104 m/s)j. What is
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

(a) F= 6.68*10¹¹⁴ N (-k)

(b) F =( 6.68*10¹¹⁴ i  + 7.27*10¹¹⁴ j  ) N

Explanation

To find the magnetic force in terms of a fixed amount of charge q that moves at a constant speed v in a uniform magnetic field B we apply the following formula:

F=q* v X B Formula (1 )

q: charge (C)

v: velocity (m/s)

B: magnetic field (T)

vXB : cross product between the velocity vector and the magnetic field vector

Data

q= -1.24 * 10¹¹⁰ C

v= (4.19 * 10⁴ m/s)î + (-3.85 * 10⁴m/s)j

B  =(1.40 T)i  

B  =(1.40 T)k

Problem development

a) vXB = (4.19 * 10⁴ m/s)î + (-3.85* 10⁴m/s)j X (1.40 T)i =

            = - (-3.85*1.4) k = 5.39* 10⁴ m/s*T (k)

1T= 1 N/ C*m/s

We apply the formula (1)

  F= 1.24 * 10¹¹⁰ C*  5.39* 10⁴ m/s* N/ C*m/s (-k)

   F= 6.68*10¹¹⁴ N (-k)

a)  vXB = (4.19 * 10⁴ m/s)î + (-3.85* 10⁴m/s)j X (1.40 T)k =

             =( - 5.39* 10⁴i - 5.87* 10⁴j)m/s*T

1T= 1 N/ C*m/s

We apply the formula (1)

F= 1.24 * 10¹¹⁰ C*  (  5.39* 10⁴i + 5.87* 10⁴j) m/s* N/ C*m/s

F =( 6.68*10¹¹⁴  i  + 7.27*10¹¹⁴  j  ) N
