Answer:

7500 m/s

Explanation:

Centripetal acceleration = gravity

v² / r = GM / r²

v = √(GM / r)

Given:

G = 6.67×10⁻¹¹ m³/kg/s²

M = 5.98×10²⁴ kg

r = 6.8×10⁵ + 6.357×10⁶ = 7.037×10⁶ m

v = √(6.67×10⁻¹¹ (5.98×10²⁴) / (7.037×10⁶))

v = 7500

The orbital velocity is 7500 m/s.

A ball weighing 1 lb is attached to a string 2 feet long and is whirled in a vertical circle at a constant speed of 10 ft/sec.
fredd [130]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the ball, m = 1 lb

Length of the string, l = r = 2 ft

Speed of motion, v = 10 ft/s

(a) The net tension in the string when the ball is at the top of the circle is given by :

F=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}-mg

F=m(\dfrac{v^2}{r}-g)

F=1\ lb\times (\dfrac{(10\ ft/s)^2}{2}-1\ lb\times 32\ ft/s^2)

F = 18 N

(b) The net tension in the string when the ball is at the bottom of the circle is given by :

F=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}+mg

F=m(\dfrac{v^2}{r}+g)

F=1\ lb\times (\dfrac{(10\ ft/s)^2}{2}+1\ lb\times 32\ ft/s^2)

F = 82 N

(c) Let h is the height where the ball at certain time from the top. So,

T=mg(\dfrac{r-h}{r})+\dfrac{mv^2}{r}

T=\dfrac{m}{r}(g(r-h)+v^2)

Since, v^2=u^2-2gh

T=\dfrac{m}{r}(u^2-3gh+gr)

Hence, this is the required solution.

At t1, Car A and car B are each located at position xo moving forward at speed v. At t2, car A is located at position 2xo moving
wel

Answer:

the average velocity of car A between t1 and t2greater is greater than the average velocity of B berween t1 and t2

Explanation:

Velocity is displacement over time,

Displacement is the distance covered relative to the initial starting position

For A:

at time ti, A moved from Xo to 2Xo, displacement is 2Xo.

at time t2 a moves with speed 3V, hence, his new position will be 3Xo from 2Xo which will be at 5Xo. A's displacement is 5Xo from starting point.

For B:

at time ti, B moved from Xo to 2Xo, displacement is 2Xo.

at time t2 a moves with speed V in the opposite position so he'll be back to his starting point, hence, his new position will be at Xo. A's displacement is 0 from his starting point.

Lindsay is planning a flight from St. Catharines to Hamilton, which lies due west of St. Catharines. Her aircraft flies at a spe
olga nikolaevna [1]

Lindsay has to fly this plane towards this direction [W 12.5° S] to get to Hamilton.

From this question, the plane is still up in the air.

We have wind blowing in [W 60° N ]

To solve the problem we have to make use of the sine rule

\frac{SinA}{a}=\frac{SinB}{b} =\frac{SinC}{c}

We put the values in the equation, we have:

50/Sinθ = 200/sin60°

The next step is to cross multiply

50 x sin60° = 200Sinθ

50 x 0.8660 = 200sinθ

We make Sin θ the subject

Sine θ = 43.30/200

sine θ = 0.2165

we find the value of θ

θ = sine⁻¹(0.2165)

θ = 12.50

So Lindsay has to fly this plane towards this direction

[W 12.5° S]
