A rocket lifts off the pad at cape canaveral. according to newton's law of gravitation, the force of gravity on the rocket is gi

ven by f(x) = − gmm x2 where m is the mass of the earth, m is the mass of the rocket, g is a universal constant, and x is the distance (in miles) between the rocket and the center of the earth. take the radius of the earth to be 4000 miles, so that x > 4000 miles. find the work, w1, done against gravity when the rocket rises 2000 miles.

The equation is the Law of Universal Gravitation. The gravitational constant G is equal to 6.67×10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg². The mass of the Earth is <span>5.972 ×10</span>²⁴ kg. Compared to the mass of the Earth, the mass of the rocket is negligible. So, we don't need to know the mass of the rocket. Substituting the values:

F = (6.67×10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg²)(5.972 ×10²⁴ kg)/(4000 miles*(1.609 km/1mile))²
F = 9616423.08 N

The work is equal to
W = Fd
W = (9616423.08 N)(2000 miles*1.609 km/mile)
W = 9.095×10¹⁰ Joules

The temperature, T, of a gas is jointly proportional to the pressure P of the gas and the volume V occupied by the gas. Use C as
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

T=C*P*V

Explanation:

It is said that a variable - let's call 'y' -, is proportional to another - let's call it 'x' - if x and y are multiplicatively connected to a constant 'C'. It means that their product (x*y) can be always equaled to the constant 'C' or their division (\frac{x}{y}) can be always equaled to 'C'. The first case is the case of the inverse proportionality: It is said that x and y are inversely proportional if

x*y=C

The second case is the case of the direct proportionality: It is said that x and y are directly proportional if

\frac{x}{y} =C : x is directly proportional to y.

or

\frac{y}{x} =C : y is directly proportional to x.

Always that any text does not specify about directly or inversely proportionality, it is assumed to mean directly automatically.

For our case, we are said that the temperature T is proportional to the pressure P and the volume V (we assume that it means directly); it is a double proportionality but follows the same rules:

If T were just proportional to P, we would have:

\frac{T}{P} =C

If T were just proportional to V, we would have:

\frac{T}{V} =C

As T is proportional to both P and V, the right equation is:

\frac{T}{P*V}=C

In order to isolate the temperature, let's multiply (P*V) at each side of the equation:

\frac{T}{P*V}*(P*V)=C*(P*V)\\T=C*P*V

Julius competes in the hammer throw event. The hammer has a mass of 7.26 kg and is 1.215 m long. What is the centripetal force o
nevsk [136]
In the circular motion of the hammer, the centripetal force is given by
F=m \frac{v^2}{r}
where m is the mass of the hammer, v its tangential speed and r is the distance from the center of the motion, i.e. the length of the hammer.
Using the data of the problem, we find:
F=m \frac{v^2}{r}=(7.26 kg) \frac{(31.95 m/s)^2}{1.215 m}=6100 N

A ball was kicked upward at a speed of 64.2 m/s. how fast was the ball going 1.5 seconds later
UNO [17]

Anything that's not supported and doesn't hit anything, and
doesn't have any air resistance, gains 9.8 m/s of downward
speed every second, on account of gravity.  If it happens to
be moving up, then it loses 9.8 m/s of its upward speed every
second, on account of gravity.

                (64.2 m/s)  -  [ (9.8 m/s² ) x (1.5 sec) ] 

            =  (64.2 m/s)  -       [      14.7 m/s      ]

            =             49.5 m/s  .  (upward)

What is the internal energy (to the nearest joule) of 10 moles of Oxygen at 100 K?
kkurt [141]

Answer:

U = 12,205.5 J

Explanation:

In order to calculate the internal energy of an ideal gas, you take into account the following formula:

U=\frac{3}{2}nRT        (1)

U: internal energy

R: ideal gas constant = 8.135 J(mol.K)

n: number of moles = 10 mol

T: temperature of the gas = 100K

You replace the values of the parameters in the equation (1):

U=\frac{3}{2}(10mol)(8.135\frac{J}{mol.K})(100K)=12,205.5J

The total internal energy of 10 mol of Oxygen at 100K is 12,205.5 J

550 J of work must be done to compress a gas to half its initial volume at constant temperature. How much work must be done to c
Over [174]

Answer:

The amount of work that must be done to compress the gas 11 times less than its initial pressure is 909.091 J

Explanation:

The given variables are

Work done = 550 J

Volume change = V₂ - V₁ = -0.5V₁

Thus the product of pressure and volume change = work done by gas, thus

P × -0.5V₁ = 500 J

Hence -PV₁ = 1000 J

also P₁/V₁ = P₂/V₂ but V₂ = 0.5V₁ Therefore  P₁/V₁ = P₂/0.5V₁ or P₁ = 2P₂

Also to compress the gas by a factor of 11 we have

P (V₂ - V₁) = P×(V₁/11 -V₁) = P(11V₁ - V₁)/11 = P×-10V₁/11 = -PV₁×10/11 = 1000 J ×10/11  = 909.091 J of work
