Answer:

$W_{earth} = 35.74 * 10^6 N$ : Rocket weight on earth

$W_{moon} = 5.91 * 10^6 N$ : Rocket weight on moon

Explanation:

Conceptual analysis

Weight is the force with which a body is attracted due to the action of gravity and is calculated using the following formula:

W = m × g Formula (1)

W: weight

m: mass

g: acceleration due to gravity

The mass of a body on the moon is equal to the mass of a body on the earth

The acceleration due to gravity on a body is different on the moon and on the earth

Equivalences

1 slug = 14.59 kg

Known data

$m_{earth} = m_{moon} = 250 * 10^3 slug = 250* 10^3slug * \frac{14.59kg}{1slug} = 3647.5* 10^3 kg$

$g_{moon}= 1.62 \frac{m}{s^2}$

$g_{earth}= 9.8 \frac{m}{s^2}$

Problem development

To calculate the weight of the rocket on the moon and on earth we replace the data in formula (1):

$W_{earth} = 3647.5* 10^3 kg * 9.8 \frac{m}{s^2} = 35.74 * 10^6 N$ : Rocket weight on earth

$W_{moon} = 3647.5* 10^3 kg * 1.62 \frac{m}{s^2} = 5.91 * 10^6 N$ : Rocket weight on moon

A toroidal coil has a mean radius of 16 cm and a cross-sectional area of 0.25 cm2; it is wound uniformly with 1000 turns. A seco

Roman55 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Mutual inductance is equal to magnetic flux induced in the secondary coli due to unit current in the primary coil .

magnetic field in a torroid B = μ₀ n I , n is number of turns per unit length and I is current .

B = 4π x 10⁻⁷ x (1000 / 2π x .16 )x 1 ( current = 1 A)

flux in the secondary coil

= B x area of face of coil x no of turns of secondary

= 4π x 10⁻⁷ x (1000 /2π x .16 ) .25 x 10⁻⁴ x 750

= 2 x 1000 x .25 x( 750 /.16) x 10⁻¹¹

2343.75 x 10⁻⁸

= 23.43 x 0⁻⁶ H.

You are on vacation in San Francisco and decide to take a cable car to see the city. A 5800-kgkg cable car goes 260 mm up a hill

Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

$4.325\times10^6J$

Explanation:

Mass of the cable car, m = 5800 kg

It goes 260 m up a hill, along a slope of $\theta=17^o$

Therefore vertical elevation of the car = $260sin\theta=260sin17^o=76.0166m$

Now, when you get into the cable car, it's velocity is zero, that is, initial kinetic energy is zero (since K.E. = $\frac{1}{2} mv^2$ ). Similarly as the car reaches the top, it halts and hence final kinetic energy is zero.

Therefore the only possible change in the cable car system is the change in it's gravitational potential energy.

Hence, total change in energy = mgh = $5800\times9.81\times76.0166J=4.325\times10^6J$

where, g = acceleration due to gravity

h = height/vertical elevation

Science Seminar Question: Why did Vehicle 2 fall off the cliff in Claire's test of the collision scene but Vehicle 2 did not fal

asambeis [7]

Complete Question:

Check the file attached to get the complete question

Answer:

In the film Ice word Revenge, vehicle 2 did not fall of the cliff because, $Weight_{vehicle 1} < Weight_{vehicle 2}$ but in Claire's test, vehicle 2 off the cliff because $Weight_{vehicle 1} \geq Weight_{vehicle 2}$

Explanation:

In Claire's test, the weight of vehicle 1 is either equal to or greater than the weight of vehicle 2, so it was sufficient to push it down the cliff. In the film Ice word revenge, the weight of vehicle 1 is less than the weight of vehicle 2, it is not sufficient to make it fall off the cliff ( Note: Looking exactly the same in the movie, as Claire claimed, does not mean they have the same mass). Therefore if Claire wants a collision that will not make the vehicle 2 fall off the cliff, he should collide it with a vehicle of lesser mass/weight.

A disk is spinning about its center with a constant angular speed at first. Let the turntable spin faster and faster, with const

hoa [83]

Answer:

4 (please see the attached file)

Explanation:

While the angular speed (counterclockwise) remained constant, the angular acceleration was just zero.

So, the only force acting on the bug (parallel to the surface) was the centripetal force, producing a centripetal acceleration directed towards the center of the disk.

When the turntable started to spin faster and faster, this caused a change in the angular speed, represented by the appearance of an angular acceleration α.

This acceleration is related with the tangential acceleration, by this expression:

at = α*r

This acceleration, tangent to the disk (aiming in the same direction of the movement, which is counterclockwise, as showed in the pictures) adds vectorially with the centripetal force, giving a resultant like the one showed in the sketch Nº 4.

Sam boards a ski lift, and rides up the mountain at 6 miles per hour. once at the top, sam immediately begins skiing down the mo

steposvetlana [31]

Let us divide this problem into two parts:
1) Sam rides up the mountain.
2) Sam rides down the mountain.

1.
Since speed is distance over time, as:
$v = \frac{s}{t}$

Therefore, distance would be:
$s_{up} = v_{up} * t_{up}$

Where s = distance,
v = speed,
t = time.

In the problem, Sam's speed while riding up is v = 6 miles/hour = (6 * 1609.34 / 60) = 160.934 meters/second(in SI Units). Plug this value in the above equation, you would get:

$s_{up} = 160.934 * t_{up}$ --- (A)

2.
As Sam rides down the mountain, the speed given is:
$v_{down} = 54 miles/h$

Convert it in SI units; the speed would be in SI unit:
v = 54 miles/hour = (54 * 1609.34 / 60) = 1448.406 meters/second(in SI Units). Plug this value in the distance equation, you would get:
$s_{down} = 1448.406 * t_{down}$

Since the $s_{up} = s_{down}$ , therefore,

$160.934 * t_{up} = 1448.406 * t_{down}$

=> $t_{up} = 9 t_{down}$

Now the condition is that the whole trip, up and down, takes 40 minutes(2400seconds), it means:
$t_{up} + t_{down} = 2400$

Plug in the value of $t_{up}$ in the above equation, you would get:
$t_{down} = 240$

Therefore,
$s_{down} = 1448.406*240$
$s_{down} = 347617.44$ meters (in relation to seconds)

$s_{down} = 5793.624$ meters (in relation to hours)

Now the last step is to convert meters into miles, you would get:
$s_{down} = 5793.624/1609.34 = 3.6miles$

So the answer is 3.6miles.
