As a runner crosses the finish line of a race, she starts decelerating from a velocity of 9 m/s at a rate of 2 m/s^2. Take the r

unner's velocity as she crosses the finish line to be in the positive direction. What is the runner’s displacement, in meters, during the first 5 seconds after crossing the finish line?
What is her velocity, in meters per second, 5 seconds after crossing the finish line?

Answer:

- 1 m/s, 20 m

Explanation:

u = 9 m/s, a = - 2 m/s^2, t = 5 sec

Let s be the displacement and v be the velocity after 5 seconds

Use first equation of motion.

v = u + a t

v = 9 - 2 x 5 = 9 - 10 = - 1 m/s

Use second equation of motion

s = u t + 1/2 a t^2

s = 9 x 5 - 1/2 x 2 x 5 x 5

s = 45 - 25 = 20 m

An astronaut weighs 8.00 × 102 newtons on the sur- face of Earth. What is the weight of the astronaut 6.37 × 106 meters above th

kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

$mg=200.4 N$ .

Explanation:

This problem can be solved using Newton's law of universal gravitation: $F=G\frac{m_{1}m_{2}}{r^{2}}$ ,

where F is the gravitational force between two masses $m_{1}$ and $m_{2}$ , $r$ is the distance between the masses (their center of mass), and $G=6.674*10^{-11}(m^{3}kg^{-1}s^{-2})$ is the gravitational constant.

We know the weight of the astronout on the surface, with this we can find his mass. Letting $w_{s}$ be the weight on the surface:

$w_{s}=mg$ ,

$mg=8*10^{2}$ ,

$m=(8*10^{2})/g$ ,

since we now that $g=9.8m/s^{2}$ we get that the mass is

$m=81.6kg$ .

Now we can use Newton's law of universal gravitation

$F=G\frac{Mm}{r^{2}}$ ,

where $m$ is the mass of the astronaut and $M$ is the mass of the earth. From Newton's second law we know that

$F=ma$ ,

in this case the acceleration is the gravity so

$F=mg$ , (<u>becarefull, gravity at this point is no longer</u> $9.8m/s^{2}$ <u>because we are not in the surface anymore</u>)

and this get us to

$mg=G\frac{Mm}{r^{2}}$ , where $mg$ is his new weight.

We need to remember that the mass of the earth is $M=5.972*10^{24}kg$ and its radius is $6.37*10^{6}m$ .

The total distance between the astronaut and the earth is

$r=(6.37*10^{6}+6.37*10^{6})=2(6.37*10^{6})=12.74*10^{6}$ meters.

Now we can compute his weigh:

$mg=G\frac{Mm}{r^{2}}$ ,

$mg=(6.674*10^{-11})\frac{(5.972*10^{24})(81.6)}{(12.74*10^{6})^{2}}$ ,

$mg=200.4 N$ .

A flute player hears four beats per second when she compares her note to an 880 Hz tuning fork (note A). She can match the frequ

ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

884Hz

Explanation:

Beats is the absolute difference between two frequencies therefore

Beats = f1-f2

4=f1-880

F1=880+4

F1=884Hz

A small object carrying a charge of -3.00 nc is acted upon by a downward force of 30.0 nn when placed at a certain point in an e

arlik [135]

The working equation for this one is:

E = F/Q, where E is the strength of the electric field, F is the electric force and Q is the charge. Substituting the corresponding values, the strength of the electric field is equal to

E = -30 nN/-3 nC
E = 10 nN/nC

Sladkaya [172]

Question:

Mateo drew the field lines around the ends of two bar magnets but forgot to label the direction of the lines with arrows. In which direction should an arrow at position 1 point?

left

right

up

down

Answer:

The correct answer is

Left

Explanation:

Magnetic circuits describe the path of a magnetic flux. In the same way electricity follows a complete closed circuit, the path of a magnetic flux is also a complete and closed circuit which leaves from the N pole, migrates through the air and reenters the magnet through the S pole through which it passes back into the magnet to come to the N pole again.

As such the magnetic field lines emanate from the N pole which is on he right to the S pole which is on the left. Hence the arrow should point in the left direction.
