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

the surface. The astronaut falls back down to the surface after a short time interval. Which of the following forces CANNOT be neglected when analyzing the motion of the astronaut?

(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.

Answer:

D) Synthesizers have always had a well-established presence in standard ensembles

Explanation:

As synthesizers are electronic music instruments that can create the sounds of many different musical instruments, they have been seen as a threat to many musicians since their invention.

A jogger runs 10.0 blocks do east, 5.0 blocks due South, and another two. Zero blocks do east. Assume all blocks are equal size,

Annette [7]

Jogger moves in three displacements

d1 = 10 blocks East

d2 = 5 blocks South

d3 = 2 blocks East

now we can say

total displacement towards East direction will be

$d_x = 10 + 2= 12 blocks$

Total displacement towards South

$d_y = 5 block$

now to find the net displacement we can use vector addition

$d = \sqrt{d_x^2 + d_y^2}$

$d = \sqrt{12^2 + 5^2}$

$d = 13 blocks$

<em>so magnitude of net displacement will be equal to 13 blocks</em>

An electron moving at right angles to a 0.1 T magnetic field experiences an acceleration of 6 × 1015 m.s-2. What is the speed of

GaryK [48]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Magnetic field, B = 0.1 T

Acceleration, $a=6\times 10^{15}\ m/s^2$

Charge on electron, $q=1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C$

Mass of electron, $m=9.1\times 10^{-31}\ kg$

(a) The force acting on the electron when it is accelerated is, F = ma

The force acting on the electron when it is in magnetic field, $F=qvB\ sin\theta$

Here, $\theta=90$

So, $ma=qvB$

Where

v is the velocity of the electron

B is the magnetic field

$v=\dfrac{ma}{qB}$

$v=\dfrac{9.1\times 10^{-31}\ kg\times 6\times 10^{15}\ m/s^2}{1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C\times 0.1\ T}$

v = 341250 m/s

or

$v=3.41\times 10^5\ m/s$

So, the speed of the electron is $3.41\times 10^5\ m/s$

(b) In 1 ns, the speed of the electron remains the same as the force is perpendicular to the cross product of velocity and the magnetic field.

A 52 N sled is pulled across a cement sidewalk at constant speed. A horizontal force of 36 N is exerted. What is the coefficient

Andre45 [30]

Answer:

μ = 0.692

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we must make a free body diagram and include the respective forces acting on the body. Similarly, deduce the respective equations according to the conditions of the problem and the directions of the forces.

Attached is an image with the respective forces:

A summation of forces on the Y-axis is performed equal to zero, in order to determine the normal force N. this summation is equal to zero since there is no movement on the Y-axis.

Since the body moves at a constant speed, there is no acceleration so the sum of forces on the X-axis must be equal to zero.

The frictional force is defined as the product of the coefficient of friction by the normal force. In this way, we can calculate the coefficient of friction.

The process of solving this problem can be seen in the attached image.

A hot (70°C) lump of metal has a mass of 250 g and a specific heat of 0.25 cal/g⋅°C. John drops the metal into a 500-g calorimet

Gnom [1K]

Answer:

d. 37 °C

Explanation:

$m_{m}$ = mass of lump of metal = 250 g

$c_{m}$ = specific heat of lump of metal = 0.25 cal/g°C

$T_{mi}$ = Initial temperature of lump of metal = 70 °C

$m_{w}$ = mass of water = 75 g

$c_{w}$ = specific heat of water = 1 cal/g°C

$T_{wi}$ = Initial temperature of water = 20 °C

$m_{c}$ = mass of calorimeter = 500 g

$c_{c}$ = specific heat of calorimeter = 0.10 cal/g°C

$T_{ci}$ = Initial temperature of calorimeter = 20 °C

$T_{f}$ = Final equilibrium temperature

Using conservation of heat

Heat lost by lump of metal = heat gained by water + heat gained by calorimeter

$m_{m} c_{m} (T_{mi} - T_{f}) = m_{w} c_{w} (T_{f} - T_{wi}) + m_{c} c_{c} (T_{f} - T_{ci}) \\(250) (0.25) (70 - T_{f} ) = (75) (1) (T_{f} - 20) + (500) (0.10) (T_{f} - 20)\\T_{f} = 37 C$
