Answer:

m = 4.9 10⁸ kg

Explanation:

The expression for the density is

           ρ = m / V

           m = ρ V

the volume of the atmosphere is the volume of the sphere of the outer layer of the atmosphere minus the volume of the plant

          V = V_atmosphere - V_planet

           V = 4/3 π R_atmosphere³ - 4/3 π R_venus³

           V = 4/3 π (R_atmosphere³ - R_venus³

)

the radius of the planet is R_venus = 6.06 10⁶ m.

The radius of the outermost layer of the atmosphere

          R_atmosphere = 50 10³ + R_ venus = 50 10³ + 6.06 10⁶

           R_atmosphere = 6.11 10⁶ m

let's find the volume

           V = 4/3 pi [(6,11 10⁶)³ - (6,06 10⁶)³]

            V = 23,265 10⁶ m³

let's calculate the mass

          m = 21  23,265 10⁶

          m = 4.89   10⁸ kg

with two significant figurars is

          m = 4.9 10⁸ kg

A non-uniform rod 60cm long and weighs 32N is balanced at the 45cm mark. A load of 2N is hung on the zinc rod at the 25cm mark.
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

The second knife-edge must be placed 46.2 cm from the zero mark of the rod.

Explanation:

From the law of equilibrium, ΣF = 0 and ΣM = 0.

Let R be the reaction at the knife edge. Since the weight of the rod and zinc load act downward, and we take downward position as negative

-32 N - 2 N + R = 0

-34 N = -R

R = 34 N

Also, let us assume the knife-edge is x cm from the zero mark. Taking moments about the weight and assuming the knife-edge is right of the weight of the rod. Taking clockwise moments as positive and anti-clockwise moments as negative,

-(45 - 25)2 + (x - 45)R = 0

-(20)2 + (x - 45)34 = 0

-40 = -(x - 45)34  

x - 45 = 40/34

x - 45 = 1.18

x = 45 + 1.18

x = 46.18 cm

x ≅ 46.2 cm

The second knife-edge must be placed 46.2 cm from the zero mark of the rod.

An airplane travels horizontally at a constant velocity v. An object is dropped from the plane and one second later another obje
Delvig [45]

Answer:

the vertical distance between the two object will increase uniformly when they are dropped after a fixed interval of time

Explanation:

Since airplane is moving horizontally with constant speed v

so when object is dropped from the plane then the speed of the object will be same as that of the speed of the airplane

so we can say that two object when dropped after some interval of time then they always lie in same vertical line

now we know that they both have same acceleration in vertical line so the motion of two objects relative to each other in vertical direction is always uniform motion because they have no acceleration with respect to each other

So the vertical distance between the two object will increase uniformly when they are dropped after a fixed interval of time

If a force always acts perpendicular to an object's direction of motion, that force cannot change the object's kinetic energy.
laiz [17]
This is very good conceptual question and can clear your doubts regarding work-energy theorem.
Whenever force is perpendicular to the direction of the motion, work done by that force is zero.
According to work-energy theorem,
Work done by all the force = change in kinetic energy.

here, work done = 0.
Therefore, 
0=change in kinetic energy
This means kinetic energy remains constant.

A charged box (m=445 g, ????=+2.50 μC) is placed on a frictionless incline plane. Another charged box (????=+75.0 μC) is fixed i
victus00 [196]

The concept required to perform this exercise is given by the coulomb law.

The force expressed according to this law is given by

F= \frac{kqQ}{r^2}

Where,

k = 8.99 * 10^9 N m^2 / C^2.

q = charges of the objects

r= distance/radius

Our values are previously given, so

q= 2.5*10^{-6}C\\Q= 75*10^{-6}C\\r=0.59

Replacing,

F=\frac{kqQ}{r^2}

F= \frac{(8.99 x 10^9)(2.5*10^{-6})(75*10^{-6})}{0.59^2}

F= 4.8423N

The force acting on the block are given by,

F-mgsin\theta = ma

a = \frac{F-mgsin\theta}{m}

a = \frac{4.8423-(0.445)(9.8)sin(35)}{0.445}a = 10.31m/s^2

Therefore the box is accelerated upward.
