Answer: False

Explanation:

The statement that the environment affects people, but people don't affect the environment is incorrect. It should be noted that people also affect the environment.

Some of our impact on the environment include pollution, deforestation, overpopulation, burning of fossil fuels etc. Thus has resulted in changes such as erosion, climate change, etc.

An athlete stretches a spring an extra 40.0 cm beyond its initial length. how much energy has he transferred to the spring, if t

marissa [1.9K]

The energy transferred to the spring is given by:
$U= \frac{1}{2}kx^2$
where
k is the spring constant
x is the elongation of the spring with respect its initial length

Let's convert the data into the SI units:
$k=52.9 N/cm = 5290 N/m$
$x=40.0 cm=0.4 m$

so now we can use these data inside the equation ,to find the energy transferred to the spring:
$U= \frac{1}{2}kx^2= \frac{1}{2}(5290 N/m)(0.4m)^2=423.2 J$

An astronaut weighs 8.00 × 102 newtons on the sur- face of Earth. What is the weight of the astronaut 6.37 × 106 meters above th

kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

$mg=200.4 N$ .

Explanation:

This problem can be solved using Newton's law of universal gravitation: $F=G\frac{m_{1}m_{2}}{r^{2}}$ ,

where F is the gravitational force between two masses $m_{1}$ and $m_{2}$ , $r$ is the distance between the masses (their center of mass), and $G=6.674*10^{-11}(m^{3}kg^{-1}s^{-2})$ is the gravitational constant.

We know the weight of the astronout on the surface, with this we can find his mass. Letting $w_{s}$ be the weight on the surface:

$w_{s}=mg$ ,

$mg=8*10^{2}$ ,

$m=(8*10^{2})/g$ ,

since we now that $g=9.8m/s^{2}$ we get that the mass is

$m=81.6kg$ .

Now we can use Newton's law of universal gravitation

$F=G\frac{Mm}{r^{2}}$ ,

where $m$ is the mass of the astronaut and $M$ is the mass of the earth. From Newton's second law we know that

$F=ma$ ,

in this case the acceleration is the gravity so

$F=mg$ , (<u>becarefull, gravity at this point is no longer</u> $9.8m/s^{2}$ <u>because we are not in the surface anymore</u>)

and this get us to

$mg=G\frac{Mm}{r^{2}}$ , where $mg$ is his new weight.

We need to remember that the mass of the earth is $M=5.972*10^{24}kg$ and its radius is $6.37*10^{6}m$ .

The total distance between the astronaut and the earth is

$r=(6.37*10^{6}+6.37*10^{6})=2(6.37*10^{6})=12.74*10^{6}$ meters.

Now we can compute his weigh:

$mg=G\frac{Mm}{r^{2}}$ ,

$mg=(6.674*10^{-11})\frac{(5.972*10^{24})(81.6)}{(12.74*10^{6})^{2}}$ ,

$mg=200.4 N$ .

A pole-vaulter is nearly motionless as he clears the bar, set 4.2 m above the ground. he then falls onto a thick pad. the top of

scZoUnD [109]

Refer to the diagram shown below.

Neglect wind resistance, and use g = 9.8 m/s².

The pole vaulter falls with an initial vertical velocity of u = 0.
If the velocity upon hitting the pad is v, then
v² = 2*(9.8 m/s²)*(4.2 m) = 82.32 (m/s)²
v = 9.037 m/s

The pole vaulter comes to res after the pad compresses by 50 cm (or 0.5 m).
If the average acceleration (actually deceleration) is (a m/s²), then
0 = (9.037 m/s)² + 2*(a m/s²)*(0.5 m)
a = - 82.32/(2*0.5) = - 82 m/s²

Answer: - 82 m/s² (or a deceleration of 82 m/s²)

If the outer conductor of a coaxial cable has radius 2.6 mm , what should be the radius of the inner conductor so that the induc

mel-nik [20]

Answer:

Inner radius = 2 mm

Explanation:

In a coaxial cable, series inductance per unit length is given by the formula;

L' = (µ/(2π))•ln(R/r)

Where R is outer radius and r is inner radius.

We are given;

L' = 50 nH/m = 50 × 10^(-9) H/m

R = 2.6mm = 2.6 × 10^(-3) m

Meanwhile µ is magnetic constant and has a value of µ = µ_o = 4π × 10^(−7) H/m

Plugging in the relevant values, we have;

50 × 10^(-9) = (4π × 10^(−7))/(2π)) × ln(2.6 × 10^(-3)/r)

Rearranging, we have;

(50 × 10^(-9))/(2 × 10^(−7)) = ln((2.6 × 10^(-3))/r)

0.25 = ln((2.6 × 10^(-3))/r)

So,

e^(0.25) = (2.6 × 10^(-3))/r)

1.284 = (2.6 × 10^(-3))/r)

Cross multiply to give;

r = (2.6 × 10^(-3))/1.284)

r = 0.002 m or 2 mm
