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 penny is placed on a rotating turntable. Where on the turntable does the penny require the largest centripetal force to remain

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

m = mass of the penny

r = distance of the penny from the center of the turntable or axis of rotation

w = angular speed of rotation of turntable

F = centripetal force experienced by the penny

centripetal force "F" experienced by the penny of "m" at distance "r" from axis of rotation is given as

F = m r w²

in the above equation , mass of penny "m" and angular speed "w" of the turntable is same at all places. hence the centripetal force directly depends on the radius .

hence greater the distance from center , greater will be the centripetal force to remain in place.

So at the edge of the turntable , the penny experiences largest centripetal force to remain in place.

Two oppositely charged but otherwise identical conducting plates of area 2.50 square centimeters are separated by a dielectric 1

7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

A). σ = 3.823 x $10^{-5}$ $C^{2}$ /N- $m^{2}$

B). $\sigma ^{'}=2.76\times 10^{-5}$ C/ $m^{2}$

C). $U=10.322$ J

Explanation:

A). We know magnitude of charge per unit area for a conducting plate is given by

$\sigma =k.\varepsilon _{0}.E$

where, E is resultant electric field = 1.2 x $10^{6}$ V/m

$\varepsilon _{0}$ is permittivity of free space = 8.85 x $10^{-12}$ $C^{2}$ /N- $m^{2}$

k is dielectric constant = 3.6

∴ $\sigma =k.\varepsilon _{0}.E$

= 3.6 x 8.85 x $10^{-12}$ x 1.2 x $10^{6}$

= 3.823 x $10^{-5}$ $C^{2}$ /N- $m^{2}$

B).Now we know that the magnitude of charge per unit area on the surface of the dielectric plate is given by

$\sigma ^{'}=\sigma\left ( 1-\frac{1}{k} \right )$

$\sigma ^{'}=3.823\times 10^{-5}\left ( 1-\frac{1}{3.6} \right )$

$\sigma ^{'}=2.76\times 10^{-5}$ C/ $m^{2}$

C).

Area of the plate, A = 2.5 $cm^{2}$

= 2.5 x $10^{-4}$ $m^{2}$

diameter of the plate, d = 1.8 mm

= 1800 m

∴ Total energy stored in the capacitor

$U=\frac{1}{2}k\varepsilon _{0}E^{2}Ad$

$U=\frac{1}{2}\times 3.6\times8.85 \times10^{-12}\times\left ( 1.2\times 10^{6} \right ) ^{2}\times 2.5\times 10^{-4}\times 1800$

$U=10.322$ J

Which letter correctly identifies the part of the hydrologic cycle that is most directly affected by impervious building materia

masha68 [24]

Infiltration

Explanation:

The component of the hydrologic cycle affected by impervious building such as concrete and asphalt is infiltration.

Water infiltration is a major component of the hydrologic cycle.
Concretes and other materials can prevent water from going down into the earth.
This affects the ground water system in place.
It leads to increase in surface run off and might cause inundation of an area.
Infiltration is a very important component of water cycle.
It takes water to plant root and recharges groundwater systems.
Impervious structures takes this capability away.
