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

A motorist inflates the tires of her car to a pressure of 180 kPa on a day when the temperature is -8.0° C. When she arrives at
GuDViN [60]

Apply Gay-Lussac's law:

P/T = const.

P = pressure, T = temperature, the quotient of P/T must stay constant.

Initial P and T values:

P = 180kPa, T = -8.0°C = 265.15K

Final P and T values:

P = 245kPa, T = ?

Set the initial and final P/T values equal to each other and solve for the final T:

180/265.15 = 245/T

T = 361K

A CCD has a greatest possible pixel value of 4095. what is the bit level of this CCD?
Shtirlitz [24]
<span>Bit level for a CCD (Charged coupled device) with a greatest possible pixel value of 4095:The relationship between the bit level and pixel value is given as:pixel value = 2^bit level.Most charged coupled devices (CCDs) have 8-bit, 16-bit, 32-bit levels.Using simple mathematics, we can see that 2^12 = 4096.Since the maximum number of pixels is 4095, the bit level is 12., i.e. the CCD has 12-bit level.</span>

An engineer wants to design an oval racetrack such that 3.20 × 10 3 lb racecars can round the exactly 1000 ft radius turns at 10
Reptile [31]

Answer:

The banking angle necessary for the race cars is 34.84°

Explanation:

For normal reaction the expression is:

\\Nsin\theta = \frac{mv^{2} }{R}  =Fc\\tan\theta =\frac{v^{2} }{Rg}  \\\theta =tan^{-1} (\frac{v^{2} }{Rg} )\\\theta =tan^{-1} (\frac{(102*0.447)^{2} }{1000*0.3048*9.8} )=34.84
