the acceleration due to gravity on the moon is 1.6 m/s^2 what is the gravitational potential energy of a 1200 kg lander resting

on top of a 350m hill
Physics

<u>Answer</u>

672,000 Joules

<u>Explanation</u>

Gravitational potential energy (P.E) is the energy possessed by a body that is at a potential height from the ground.

IT is calculated by the formula;

P.E = mgh

Where m ⇒ mass

            g ⇒ acceleration due to gravity

            h ⇒ height from trhe ground.

P.E = 1200 × 1.6 × 350

      = 672,000 Joules.

A jogger runs 10.0 blocks do east, 5.0 blocks due South, and another two. Zero blocks do east. Assume all blocks are equal size,
Annette [7]

Jogger moves in three displacements

d1 = 10 blocks East

d2 = 5 blocks South

d3 = 2 blocks East

now we can say

total displacement towards East direction will be

d_x = 10 + 2= 12 blocks

Total displacement towards South

d_y = 5 block

now to find the net displacement we can use vector addition

d = \sqrt{d_x^2 + d_y^2}

d = \sqrt{12^2 + 5^2}

d = 13 blocks

<em>so magnitude of net displacement will be equal to 13 blocks</em>

The diameters of bolts produced by a certain machine are normally distributed with a mean of 0.30 inches and a standard deviatio
enot [183]

Answer:

2.25 %

Explanation:

65-95-99.7 is a rule to remember the precentages that lies around the mean.

at the range of mean (\mu) plus or minus one standard deviation (\sigma), P([\mu-\sigma \leq X \leq \mu+\sigma])\approx 68.3%

at the range of mean plus or minus two standard deviation, P([\mu -2\sigma \leq X \leq \mu+2\sigma])\approx 95.5%

at the range of mean plus or minus three standard deviation, P([\mu - 3\sigma\leq X \leq \mu+3\sigma])\approx 99.7%

So, note that  they are asking about the probability that it is greater than 0.32, that is the mean (0.3) plus two times the standard deviation (0.1) (P(X \leq \mu+2\sigma))  

So we know that the 95.5% is between \mu - 2\sigma = 0.3 -2*0.1 = 0.28 and \mu + 2\sigma = 0.3 +2*0.1 = 0.32, hence approximately the 4.5% (100%-95.5%) is greater than 0.32 or less than  0.28. But half (4.5%/2=2.25%) is greater than 0.32 and the other half is less than 0.28.

So P(X \leq \mu+2\sigma) \approx 2.25%

A majorette in a parade is performing some acrobatic twirlings of her baton. Assume that the baton is a uniform rod of mass 0.12
den301095 [7]

Question

Initially, the baton is spinning about a line through its center at angular velocity 3.00 rad/s.  What is its angular momentum? Express your answer in kilogram meters squared per second.

Answer:

0.0192 kgm^{2}/s

Explanation:

The angular momentum L of the baton moving about an axis perpendicular to it, passing through the center of the baton is,

L = \frac{1}{{12}}m{l^2}\omega

Here, l is the length of the baton.

Substitute 0.120 kg for m, 3 rads/s for \omega[\tex] and 0.8 m for l [tex]\begin{array}{c}\\L = \frac{1}{{12}}m{l^2}\omega \\\\ = \frac{1}{{12}}\left( {0.120{\rm{ kg}}} \right){\left( {{\rm{80}}{\rm{.0 cm}}} \right)^2}{\left( {\frac{{1 \times {{10}^{ - 2}}{\rm{m}}}}{{1{\rm{ cm}}}}} \right)^2}\left( {{\rm{3}}{\rm{.00 rad/s}}} \right)\\\\ = 0.0192{\rm{ kg}} \cdot {{\rm{m}}^{\rm{2}}}{\rm{/s}}\\\end{array}
