Answer:

1.6675×10^-16N

Explanation:

The force of gravity that the space shuttle experiences is expressed as;

g = GM/r²

G is the gravitational constant

M is the mass = 1.0 x 10^5 kg

r is the altitude = 200km = 200,000m

Substitute into the formula

g = 6.67×10^-11 × 1.0×10^5/(2×10^5)²

g = 6.67×10^-6/4×10^10

g = 1.6675×10^{-6-10}

g = 1.6675×10^-16N

Hence the force of gravity experienced by the shuttle is 1.6675×10^-16N

NeTakaya

Answer:

Force on front axle = 6392.85 N

Force on rear axle = 8616.45 N

Explanation:

As we know that the weight of the car is balanced by the normal force on the front wheel and rear wheels

Now we know that

$F_1 + F_2 = W$

$F_1 + F_2 = (1530\times 9.81)$

$F_1 + F_2 = 15009.3 N$

now we know that distance between the axis is 2.70 m and centre of mass is 1.15 m behind front axle

so we can write torque balance about its center of mass

$F_1(1.15) = F_2(2.70 - 1.15)$

$F_1 = 1.35 F_2$

now from above equation

$F_2 + 1.35F_2 = 15009.3$

now we have

$F_2 = 6392.85 N$

now the other force is given as

$F_1 = 8616.45 N$

The gravitational force between two asteroids is 6.2 × 108 n. asteroid y has three times the mass of asteroid z. if the distance

SOVA2 [1]

Let m = mass of asteroid y.
Because asteroid y has three times the mass of asteroid z, the mass of asteroid z is m/3.

Given:
F = 6.2x10⁸ N
d = 2100 km = 2.1x10⁶ m
Note that
G = 6.67408x10⁻¹¹ m³/(kg-s²)

The gravitational force between the asteroids is
F = (G*m*(m/3))/d² = (Gm²)/(3d²)
or
m² = (3Fd²)/G
= [(3*(6.2x10⁸ N)*(2.1x10⁶ m)²]/(6.67408x10⁻¹¹ m³/(kg-s²))
= 1.229x10³² kg²
m = 1.1086x10¹⁶ kg = 1.1x10¹⁶ kg (approx)

Answer: 1.1x10¹⁶ kg

A mine car, whose mass is 440kg, rolls at a speed of 0.50m/s on ahorizontal track, as the drawing shows. A 150kg chunk of coalha

ella [17]

Answer: 0.56 m/s

Explanation:

hello, there is 25° inclination angle for the chute in the drawing. Thankfully, I know this problem. The conservation of momentum.

so there are X and Y components for the momentum in this problem. The Y component is not conserved as when the coal gets in the cart, the normal force exerted by the surface reduces it to 0.

Now, the X component is definitely conserved here.

so you have the momentum of the cart which is 440*0.5 added to the momentum of the chunk which is 150*0.8*cos(25°), that is the momentum before the coupling between the objects. Afterwards both objects will have the same velocity, so we write the equation like this:

$440*0.5 + 150*0.8*cos(25) = 440*v_{final} + 150*v_{final} \\ => 220+120*cos(25) = (440+150)v_{final} => v_{final} = \frac{220+120*cos(25)}{590} = 0.56 m/s$

liq [111]

Answer:

$W_2=\sqrt{\frac{3}{5} }W_1$

Explanation:

For the first ball, the moment of inertia and the kinetic energy is:

$I_1 =\frac{2}{5}MR^2$

$K_1 = \frac{1}{2}IW_1^2$

So, replacing, we get that:

$K_1 = \frac{1}{2}(\frac{2}{5}MR^2)W_1^2$

At the same way, the moment of inertia and kinetic energy for second ball is:

$I_2 =\frac{2}{3}MR^2$

$K_2 = \frac{1}{2}IW_2^2$

So:

$K_2 = \frac{1}{2}(\frac{2}{3}MR^2)W_2^2$

Then, $K_2$ is equal to $K_1$ , so:

$K_2 = K_1$

$\frac{1}{2}(\frac{2}{3}MR^2)W_2^2 = \frac{1}{2}(\frac{2}{5}MR^2)W_1^2$

$\frac{1}{3}MR^2W_2^2 = \frac{1}{5}MR^2W_1^2$

$\frac{1}{3}W_2^2 = \frac{1}{5}W_1^2$

Finally, solving for $W_2$ , we get:

$W_2=\sqrt{\frac{3}{5} }W_1$

Answer:

A) 12.08 m/s

B) 19.39 m/s

Explanation:

A) Down the hill, we will apply Newton’s second law of motion in the downward direction to get:

mg(sinθ) – F_k = ma

Where; F_k is frictional force due to kinetic friction given by the formula;

F_k = (μ_k) × F_n

F_n is normal force given by mgcosθ

Thus;

F_k = μ_k(mg cosθ)

We now have;

mg(sinθ) – μ_k(mg cosθ) = ma

Dividing through by m to get;

g(sinθ) – μ_k(g cosθ) = a

a = 9.8(sin 12.03) - 0.6(9.8 × cos 12.03)

a = -3.71 m/s²

We are told that distance d = 24.0 m and v_o = 18 m/s

Using newton's 3rd equation of motion, we have;

v = √(v_o² + 2ad)

v = √(18² + (2 × -3.71 × 24))

v = 12.08 m/s

B) Now, μ_k = 0.10

Thus;

a = 9.8(sin 12.03) - 0.1(9.8 × cos 12.03)

a = 1.08 m/s²

Using newton's 3rd equation of motion, we have;

v = √(v_o + 2ad)

v = √(18² + (2 × 1.08 × 24))

v = 19.39 m/s
