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

prisoha [69]

Answer:

The water will flow at a speed of 3,884 m/s

Explanation:

Torricelli's equation

v = \sqrt{2gh}

*v = liquid velocity at the exit of the hole

g = gravity acceleration

h = distance from the surface of the liquid to the center of the hole.

v = \sqrt{2*9,8m/s^2*0,77m} = 3,884 m/s

In Part 6.2.2, you will determine the wavelength of the laser by shining the laser beam on a "diffraction grating", a set of reg
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

λ = 2042 nm

Explanation:

given data

screen distance d = 11 m

spot s = 4.5 cm = 4.5 ×10^{-2} m

separation L = 0.5 mm = 0.5 ×10^{-3} m

to find out

what is λ

solution

we will find first angle between first max and central bright

that is tan θ = s/d

tan θ = 4.5 ×10^{-2}  / 11

θ = 0.234

and we know diffraction grating for max

L sinθ  = mλ

here we know m = 1  so put all value and find λ

L sinθ  = mλ

0.5 ×10^{-3}  sin(0.234)  = 1 λ

λ = 2042.02 ×10^{-9}  m

λ = 2042 nm

A sister spins her brother in a circle of radius R at angular speed wi. Then the sister decreases her angular speed
Igoryamba

Answer:

The change in the centripetal acceleration of the brother,

                               Δa = V₂²/R - V₁²/R

Explanation:

Given data,

A sister spins her brother in a circle of radius, R

The angular velocity of the brother, ω₁ = V₁/R

The angular velocity of the brother, ω₂ = V₂/R

The centripetal acceleration is given by the relation

                                 a = V²/R

Therefore change in the centripetal acceleration of the brother,

                              Δa = V₂²/R - V₁²/R

Determine the cutting force f exerted on the rod s in terms of the forces p applied to the handles of the heavy-duty cutter.
Alexus [3.1K]
If you use the next formula with the data given in the exercise you are asking:
Ey[3.4] - F[1.7] = 0 
<span>Ey = F/2 
</span>and after that what you need to do is sum the moments of the handle about D to zero asumming it is a positive moment and we proceed like this
Ey[1.5sin19] – P[21 – 1.5sin19] = 0 
<span>(F/2)[1.5sin19] = P[21 – 1.5sin19] </span>
<span>F = 2P[21 – 1.5sin19] / [1.5sin19] </span>
<span>F = 84P </span>
