The strength of the gravitational field of a source mass can be measured by the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity at

a field point. Thus the gravitational field strength at a point depends on the distance from the source mass. For this problem assume that Earth’s mass is concentrated at its center and that Earth has a radius of RE = 6,378 km at sea level and a mass of ME = 5.972×1024 kg. Ignore any forces due to Earth’s rotation or due to other astronomical bodies.

Answer:

9.79211 m/s²

Explanation:

M = Mass of the Earth =  5.972 × 10²⁴ kg

G = Gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²

r = Radius of Earth = 6378000 m

g=G\frac{M}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow g=6.67\times 10^{-11}\frac{5.972\times 10^{24}}{(6378000)^2}\\\Rightarrow g=9.79211\ m/s^2

The acceleration due to gravity is 9.79211 m/s²

For any distance above the Earth's surface h

g=6.67\times 10^{-11}\frac{5.972\times 10^{24}}{(6378000+h)^2}\\\Rightarrow g=\frac{3.983324\times 10^{14}}{6378000+h}\ m/s^2

A small crack occurs at the base of a 15.0-m-high dam. The effective area through which water leaves is 2.30 × 10-3 m2. (a) Igno
vova2212 [387]

Answer

given,                                              

height of the dam = 15 m            

effective area of water = 2.3 x 10⁻³ m²

Using energy conservation              

    m g h = \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

    v= \sqrt{2gh}                  

    v= \sqrt{2\times 9.8 \times 15}

    v= \sqrt{294}              

           v = 17.15 m/s            

 discharge of water

      Q = A V                            

      Q = 2.3 x 10⁻³ x 17.15    

      Q = 0.039 m³/s

If there is a potential difference v between the metal and the detector, what is the minimum energy emin that an electron must h
beks73 [17]
The electrical potential energy of a charge q located at a point at potential V is given by
U=qV
Therefore, if the charge must move between two points at potential V1 and V2, the difference in potential energy of the charge will be
\Delta U = q (V_2 -V_1)=q \Delta V

In our problem, the electron (charge e) must travel across a potential difference V. So the energy it will lose traveling from the metal to the detector will be equal to 
\Delta U = e V
Therefore, if we want the electron to reach the detector, the minimum energy the electron must have is exactly equal to the energy it loses moving from the metal to the detector:
E_{min} = \Delta U = eV

What is the radius of an automobile tire that turns with a period of 0.091 s and has a linear
faust18 [17]

Answer:

1) The radius of the tire is approximately 0.28966 meters

2) The centripetal force is the force that keeps a body moving on a circular path

Explanation:

1) The linear speed of the automobile tire = 20.0 m/s

The period with which the tire turns = 0.091 s

The period = The time it takes to make a complete turn

Therefore;

The number of turns in 1 second = 1/0.091 ≈ 10.989 turns

The distance covered with 10.989 turns, assuming no friction = 10.989 × The circumference of the tire

∴ The distance covered with 10.989 turns, assuming no friction = 10.989 × 2 × π × Radius of the tire

From the speed of the car, 20.0 m/s, we have;

The distance covered in 1 second = 20.0 meters

Therefore;

10.989 × 2 × π × Radius of the tire = 20.0 meters

Radius of the tire = (20.0 meters)/(10.289 × 2 × π) ≈ 0.28966 meters

The radius of the tire ≈ 0.28966 meters

2) The centripetal force is the force required to maintain the curved motion of an object, and having a direction towards the center of the rotary motion.

The centripetal force is given by the formula, F = \dfrac{m \cdot v^2}{r}

Where;

F = The centripetal force

m = The mass of the object

v = The linear velocity of the object

r = The radius of the rotational motion.

A child is riding a merry-go-round that has an instantaneous angular speed of 1.25 rad/s and an angular acceleration of 0.745 ra
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

So the acceleration of the child will be 8.05m/sec^2

Explanation:

We have given angular speed of the child \omega =1.25rad/sec

Radius r = 4.65 m

Angular acceleration \alpha =0.745rad/sec^2

We know that linear velocity is given by v=\omega r=1.25\times 4.65=5.815m/sec

We know that radial acceleration is given by a=\frac{v^2}{r}=\frac{5.815^2}{4.65}=7.2718m/sec^2

Tangential acceleration is given by

a_t=\alpha r=0.745\times 4.65=3.464m/sec^

So total acceleration will be a=\sqrt{7.2718^2+3.464^2}=8.05m/sec^2
