An adult elephant has a mass of about 5.0 tons. An adult elephant shrew has a mass of about 50 grams. How far r from the center
1 answer:
Answer:
2023857702.507m
Explanation:
recall from newton's law of gravitation
G=gravitational constant
mshew=50g
melephant=5*10^3kg
rearth=radius of the earth 6400km or 6400000m
mearth= masss of the earth
Gm(shrew)m(earth)/r(earth)^2 = Gm(elephant)m(earth)/r^2
strike out the left hand side and right hand side variables
m(shrew)/r(earth)^2 = m(elephant)/r^2
r^2 = m(elephant).r(earth)^2 / m(shrew) .........make r^2 the subject of the equation
r^2=
r^2=40960000000000
r=2023857702.507m

Answer:
Total distance does the grasshopper travel before the cars hit is 150 m
Explanation:
Each car moves x=100 m before they collide. Both the cars moving in constant velocity. time taken t by each car is
where x is the distance traveled with velocity v
The insect is moving through this time period with a constant velocity of 15 m/s
The distance traveled by grasshopper is
To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the kinematic equations of Energy for which the rotation of a circular body is described as
Where,
m = Mass of the Vall
v = Velocity
I = Moment of inertia abouts its centre of mass
Angular speed
Basically the two sums of energies is the consideration of translational and rotational kinetic energy.
a. so that it was also rotating?
The ball is rotating means that it has some angular speed:
When there is a little angular energy (and not linear energy to travel faster), translational energy will be greater than the 1000J applied.
The ball will not go faster.
c. so that it wasn't rotating?
For the case where the angular velocity does not rotate it is zero therefore
All energy is transoformed into translational energy so it is possible to go faster. This option is CORRECT.
b. It makes no difference.
Although the order presented is different, I left this last option because as we can see with the previous two parts if there is an affectation regarding angular movement, therefore it is not correct.
