Answer:

1.38*10^18 kg

Explanation:

According to the Newton's law of universal gravitation:

$F=G*\frac{m_a*m_p}{r^2}$

where:

G= Gravitational constant (6.674×10−11 N · (m/kg)2)

ma= mass of the astronaut

mp= mass of the planet

$F=m_a.a\\(v_f )^2=(v_o)^2+2.a.\Delta y\\\\a=\frac{(v_f)^2-(v_o)^2}{2.\Delta y}\\\\a=\frac{(0)^2-(4.29m/s)^2}{2.0.64m}=14.38m/s^2\\\\F=m_a*14.38m/s^2$

so:

$m_a*14.38m/s^2=(6.674*10^{-11}N.(m/kg)^2)*\frac{m_a.m_p}{(2.530*10^3m)^2}\\m_p=\frac{14.38m/s^2(2.530*10^3m)^2}{(6.674*10^{-11}N.(m/kg)^2)}\\\\m_p=1.38*10^{18}kg$

if a torque of 55.0 N/m is required and the largest force that can be exerted by you is 135 N what is th e length of the lever a

Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

$r=0.41m$

Explanation:

Torque is defined as the cross product between the position vector ( the lever arm vector connecting the origin to the point of force application) and the force vector.

$\tau=r\times F$

Due to the definition of cross product, the magnitude of the torque is given by:

$\tau=rFsin\theta$

Where $\theta$ is the angle between the force and lever arm vectors. So, the length of the lever arm (r) is minimun when $sin\theta$ is equal to one, solving for r:

$r=\frac{\tau}{F}\\r=\frac{55\frac{N}{m}}{135N}\\r=0.41m$

A car moving with constant acceleration covers the distance between two points 60 m apart in 6.0 s. Its speed as it passes the s

BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

The speed in the first point is: 4.98m/s

The acceleration is: 1.67m/s^2

The prior distance from the first point is: 7.42m

Explanation:

For part a and b:

We have a system with two equations and two variables.

We have these data:

X = distance = 60m

t = time = 6.0s

Sf = Final speed = 15m/s

And We need to find:

So = Inicial speed

a = aceleration

We are going to use these equation:

$Sf^2=So^2+(2*a*x)$

$Sf=So+(a*t)$

We are going to put our data:

$(15m/s)^2=So^2+(2*a*60m)$

$15m/s=So+(a*6s)$

With these equation, you can decide a method for solve. In this case, We are going to use an egualiazation method.

$\sqrt{(15m/s)^2-(2*a*60m)}=So$

$15m/s-(a*6s)=So$

$\sqrt{(15m/s)^2-(2*a*60m)}=15m/s-(a*6s)$

$[\sqrt{(15m/s)^2-(2*a*60m)}]^{2}=[15m/s-(a*6s)]^{2}$

$(15m/s)^2-(2*a*60m)}=(15m/s)^{2}-2*(a*6s)*(15m/s)+(a*6s)^{2}$

$-120m*a=-180m*a+36s^{2}*a^{2}$

$0=120m*a-180m*a+36s^{2}*a^{2}$

$0=-60m*a+36s^{2}*a^{2}$

$0=(-60m+36s^{2}*a)*a$

$0=a1$

$\frac{60m}{36s^{2}} = a2$

$1.67m/s^{2}=a2$

If we analyze the situation, we need to have an aceleretarion greater than cero. We are going to choose a = 1.67m/s^2

After, we are going to determine the speed in the first point:

$Sf=So+(a*t)$

$15m/s=So+1.67m/s^2*6s$

$15m/s-(1.67m/s^2*6s)=So$

$4.98m/s=So$

For part c:

We are going to use:

$Sf^2=So^2+(2*a*x)$

$(4.98m/s)^2=0^2+(2*(1.67m/s^2)*x)$

$\frac{24.80m^2/s^2}{3.34m/s^2}=x$

$7.42m=x$

A 17 g audio compact disk has a diameter of 12 cm. The disk spins under a laser that reads encoded data. The first track to be r

sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

0.00066518 Nm

Explanation:

v = Velocity = 1.2 m/s

r = Distance to head = 2.3 cm

$\omega_f$ = Final angular velocity

$\omega_i$ = Initial angular velocity = 0

$\alpha$ = Angular acceleration

t = Time taken = 2.4 s

Angular speed is given by

$\omega=\dfrac{v}{r}\\\Rightarrow \omega=\dfrac{1.2}{0.023}\\\Rightarrow \omega=52.17391\ rad/s$

From equation of rotational motion

$\omega_f=\omega_i+\alpha t\\\Rightarrow \alpha=\frac{\omega_f-\omega_i}{t}\\\Rightarrow \alpha=\frac{52.17391-0}{2.4}\\\Rightarrow \alpha=21.73912\ rad/s^2$

Torque

$\tau=I\alpha\\\Rightarrow \tau=\dfrac{1}{2}mR^2\alpha\\\Rightarrow \tau=\dfrac{1}{2}0.017\times 0.06^2\times 21.73912\\\Rightarrow \tau=0.00066518\ Nm$

The torque of the motor is 0.00066518 Nm
