Answer:

Acceleration due to gravity on moon, 1.6\ m/s^2

Explanation:

Mass of the astronaut, m = 60 kg

Weight of astronaut on the surafce of moon, W = 96 N

The weight of astronaut is given by :

W = m g

g=\dfrac{W}{m}

g=\dfrac{96\ N}{60\ kg}

g=1.6\ m/s^2

So, the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of moon is 1.6\ m/s^2

Also, the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of moon is (1/6)th of the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of earth.

Hence, this is the required solution.

Given: Mass m = 60 Kg

           Weight  W = 96 N

Required: Acceleration due to gravity, g = ?

Formula:  W = mg

                g = W/g

                g = 96 Kg.m/s²/60 Kg   (note: this is the derive unit for Newton "N")

                g = 1.6 m/s²

<span>At time t1 = 0 since the body is at rest, the body has an angular velocity, v1, of 0. At time t = X, the body has an angular velocity of 1.43rad/s2. Since Angular acceleration is just the difference in angular speed by time. We have 4.44 = v2 -v1/t2 -t1 where V and t are angular velocity and time. So we have 4.44 = 1.43 -0/X - 0. Hence X = 1.43/4.44 = 0.33s.</span>

You slip a wrench over a bolt. Taking the origin at the bolt, the other end of the wrench is at x=18cm, y=5.5cm. You apply a for
mart [117]

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

Scorpion4ik [409]

In a series circuit . . .

-- The total resistance is the sum of the individual resistors.

-- The current is the same at every point in the circuit.

The total resistance in this circuit is (3Ω + 6Ω )  =  9Ω

The current at every point is (V/R) = (12v / 9Ω ) = <em>1.33 A</em> .

A swimming pool contains x (less than 0.02) grams of chlorine per cubic meter. the pool measures 5 meters by 50 meters and is 2
zubka84 [21]
The solution for this problem would be:(10 - 500x) / (5 - x) 
so start by doing: 
x(5*50*2) - xV + 5V = 0.02(5*50*2) 
500x - xV + 5V = 10 
V(5 - x) = 10 - 500x 
V = (10 - 500x) / (5 - x) 
(V stands for the volume, but leaves us with the expression for x)
