Answer:

Tangential speed of objects on the planet’s surface = 241 m/s

Explanation:

Speed is given by the ratio of distance traveled to the time.

Radius of mars, r = 3397 km = 3.397 x 10⁶ m

Distance traveled = 2πr = 2 x π x 3.397 x 10⁶ = 2.13 x 10⁷ m

Time taken = 24.6 hours = 24.6 x 60 x 60 = 88560 s

$\texttt{Tangential speed =}\frac{2.13\times 10^7}{88560}=240.51m/s$

Tangential speed of objects on the planet’s surface = 240.51 m/s = 241 m/s

The concept required to perform this exercise is given by the coulomb law.

The force expressed according to this law is given by

$F= \frac{kqQ}{r^2}$

Where,

$k = 8.99 * 10^9 N m^2 / C^2.$

q = charges of the objects

r= distance/radius

Our values are previously given, so

$q= 2.5*10^{-6}C\\Q= 75*10^{-6}C\\r=0.59$

Replacing,

$F=\frac{kqQ}{r^2}$

$F= \frac{(8.99 x 10^9)(2.5*10^{-6})(75*10^{-6})}{0.59^2}$

$F= 4.8423N$

The force acting on the block are given by,

$F-mgsin\theta = ma$

$a = \frac{F-mgsin\theta}{m}$

$a = \frac{4.8423-(0.445)(9.8)sin(35)}{0.445}$ $a = 10.31m/s^2$

Therefore the box is accelerated upward.

g A cylinder of mass m is free to slide in a vertical tube. The kinetic friction force between the cylinder and the walls of the

sdas [7]

Answer:

The vertical distance is $d = \frac{2}{k} *[mg + f]$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass of the cylinder is m

The kinetic frictional force is f

Generally from the work energy theorem

$E = P + W_f$

Here E the the energy of the spring which is increasing and this is mathematically represented as

$E = \frac{1}{2} * k * d^2$

Here k is the spring constant

P is the potential energy of the cylinder which is mathematically represented as

$P = mgd$

And

$W_f$ is the workdone by friction which is mathematically represented as

$W_f = f * d$

So

$\frac{1}{2} * k * d^2 = mgd + f * d$

=> $\frac{1}{2} * k * d^2 = d[mg + f ]$

=> $\frac{1}{2} * k * d = [mg + f ]$

=> $d = \frac{2}{k} *[mg + f]$

A particular material has an index of refraction of 1.25. What percent of the speed of light in a vacuum is the speed of light i

beks73 [17]

Answer:

80% (Eighty percent)

Explanation:

The material has a refractive index (n) of 1.25

Speed of light in a vacuum (c) is 2.99792458 x 10⁸ m/s

We can find the speed of light in the material (v) using the relationship

n = c/v, similarly

v = c/n

therefore v = 2.99792458 x 10⁸ m/s ÷ (1.25) = 239 833 966 m/s

v = 239 833 966 m/s

Therefore the percentage of the speed of light in a vacuum that is the speed of light in the material can be calculated as

(v/c) × 100 = (1/n) × 100 = (1/1.25) × 100 = 0.8 × 100 = 80%

Therefore speed of light in the material (v) is eighty percent of the speed of light in the vacuum (c)

Andrews [41]

Momentum question. This is an inelastic collision, so

m1v1+m2v2=Vf(m1+m2)
Vf=(m1v1+m2v2)/(m1+m2)=[(120kg)(0m/s)+(60kg)(2m/s)] / (120kg+60kg)
Vf=120kg m/s / 180kg
Vf=0.67m/s

0.67m/s

faltersainse [42]

<span>Answer: For a disc, the moment of inertia about the perpendicular axis through the center is given by 0.5MR^2. where M is the mass of the disc and R is the radius of the disc. For the axis through the edge, use parallel axis theorem. I = I(axis through center of mass) + M(distance between the axes)^2 = 0.5MR^2 + MR^2 (since the axis through center of mass is the axis through the center) = 1.5 MR^2</span>
