Answer:

A) greater

Explanation:

acceleration is calculated by dividing velocity over time..so by calculating, you find acceleration of A is greater than that of B

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:

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

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

$mg=200.4 N$ .

Which best describes nuclear fusion?

MrMuchimi

Answer:

The statement that best describes nuclear fusion is;

Nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus, releasing energy

Explanation:

In nuclear fusion, we have the reaction of the nuclei of two or more atoms coming together (combining) to form heavier elements and subatomic particles such as protons and neutrons accompanied by the release or absorption in energy depending on the difference between the mass of the reactants and the products

Some nuclear fusion reaction require an input of energy and such reactions are therefore not spontaneous

The best option is nuclei (two or more nuclei) combine to form a heavier nucleus, releasing energy.

A 0.50-kg mass attached to the end of a string swings in a vertical circle (radius 2.0 m). When the mass is at the highest point

il63 [147K]

Answer:

31.1 N

Explanation:

m = mass attached to string = 0.50 kg

r = radius of the vertical circle = 2.0 m

v = speed of the mass at the highest point = 12 m/s

T = force of the string on the mass attached.

At the highest point, force equation is given as

$T + mg =\frac{mv^{2}}{r}$

Inserting the values

$T + (0.50)(9.8) =\frac{(0.50)(12)^{2}}{2}$

T = 31.1 N

Consider a basketball player spinning a ball on the tip of a finger. If a player performs 1.91 J1.91 J of work to set the ball s

Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

ω = 4.07 rad/s

Explanation:

By conservation of the energy:

W = ΔK

$1.91J = I/2*\omega^2$

where $I = 2/3*m*R^2=0.23kg.m^2$

Solving for ω:

$\omega = \sqrt{W*2/I} =4.07rad/s$

How can we use the balloon experiment to prove that air has weight (even though we cannot see air)?

Gala2k [10]

Answer:

The end of the meter stick with the deflated balloon should have risen into the air. ... The only way the balloon could have lost mass is if the air that was inside it has mass. With this experiment you have shown that air takes up space and has mass, so you have proven that air is matter.
