Two significant figures, the 6 and the 9
The formula for potential energy is PE=mgh
It can have that high of a potential energy if it's relative height what super high.
Answer:
The torque on the wrench is 4.188 Nm
Explanation:
Let r = xi + yj where is the distance of the applied force to the origin.
Since x = 18 cm = 0.18 cm and y = 5.5 cm = 0.055 cm,
r = 0.18i + 0.055j
The applied force f = 88i - 23j
The torque τ = r × F
So, τ = r × F = (0.18i + 0.055j) × (88i - 23j) = 0.18i × 88i + 0.18i × -23j + 0.055j × 88i + 0.055j × -23j
= (0.18 × 88)i × i + (0.18 × -23)i × j + (0.055 × 88)j × i + (0.055 × -22)j × j
= (0.18 × 88) × 0 + (0.18 × -23) × k + (0.055 × 88) × (-k) + (0.055 × -22) × 0 since i × i = 0, j × j = 0, i × j = k and j × i = -k
= 0 - 4.14k + 0.0484(-k) + 0
= -4.14k - 0.0484k
= -4.1884k Nm
≅ -4.188k Nm
So, the torque on the wrench is 4.188 Nm
Answer:
83%
Explanation:
On the surface, the weight is:
W = GMm / R²
where G is the gravitational constant, M is the mass of the Earth, m is the mass of the shuttle, and R is the radius of the Earth.
In orbit, the weight is:
w = GMm / (R+h)²
where h is the height of the shuttle above the surface of the Earth.
The ratio is:
w/W = R² / (R+h)²
w/W = (R / (R+h))²
Given that R = 6.4×10⁶ m and h = 6.3×10⁵ m:
w/W = (6.4×10⁶ / 7.03×10⁶)²
w/W = 0.83
The shuttle in orbit retains 83% of its weight on Earth.
<span>The formulas are,
v1d1² = v2d2² ........ (1)
h = (v2²-v1²)/2g ...... (2)
Given that,
v1 = 1.71 m/s
we assume that the stream has decreased by a factor
d2 =0.805d1
then,
v1d1² = v2 (0.805d1)²
cancelled both side d1² then we get,
v1 = v2 (0.805)²
v1 = v2 (0.648025)
Sub v1 = 1.71,
1.71 = v2 (0.648025)
v2 = 1.71/0.648025
v2 = 2.638787083831642
v2 = 2.64 m/s
The vertical distance formula,
h = (v2²-v1²)/2g
We know that value of gravity constant is 9.8 m/s²
h = {(2.64)² - (1.71)²)/2(9.8)
h = {(6.9696) - (2.9241)}/19.6
h = (4.0455)/19.6
h = 0.2064030612244898
h = 0.21 cm
Therefore, the vertical distance h = 0.21 cm.</span>
