If an astronaut weighs 750 N on the ground, what will he weigh in earth orbit 400 km above the earth’s surface?
R_earth = 6.38 × 10^6 m,
m_earth=5.97×10^24 kg
G=6.674×10^−11 Nm^2/kg^2

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The weight of the astronaut in Earth's orbit 400 km above the Earth's surface is 664.115 N

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The weight of the astronaut on the ground = 750 N

The height of the orbit above the Earths surface = 400 km

The radius of the Earth = 6.38 × 10⁶ m

The mass of the Earth = 5.97 × 10²⁴ kg

The universal gravitational constant G = 6.674 × 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg²

From Newton's law of universal gravitation, we have;

[tex]Weight \ on \ ground \ of \ astronaut \ F_W =G\times \dfrac{M_{Earth} \times m_{astronouat}}{R_{Earth}^{2}} = 750 \ N[/tex]

[tex]F_W =6.674 \times 10^{-11}\times \dfrac{5.97 \times 10^{24}\times m_{astronouat}}{(6.38 \times 10^6)^{2}} = 750 \ N[/tex]

[tex]m_{astronaut}[/tex] = ((6.38 × 10⁶)² × 750)/((6.674 × 10⁻¹¹) × (5.97 × 10²⁴)) ≈ 76.62 kg

The mass of the astronaut ≈ 76.62 kg

For the weight of the astronaut  in Earth orbit 400 km (400 × 10³ m) above the Earth's surface, we have;

[tex]F_{W \ in \ orbit} =6.674 \times 10^{-11}\times \dfrac{5.97 \times 10^{24}\times 76.62}{(6.38 \times 10^6 + 400 \times 10^3)^{2} } = 664.115 \ N[/tex]

The weight of the astronaut in Earth's orbit 400 km above the Earth's surface = 664.115 N.

Lucy and JoJo need to make 140 cupcakes for the school dance. Lucy made 35 of the cupcakes. JoJo made 42 cupcakes What fraction of the cupcakes do Lucy and JoJo still need to make?

Answers

Answer:

9/20

Explanation:

According to this question, Lucy and JoJo need to make 140 cupcakes for the school dance. Lucy made 35 of the cupcakes while JoJo made 42 cupcakes. This means that in total, (42 + 35) cupcakes has been made by both Lucy and JoJo

That is, 77 cupcakes out of 140 has been made. This is 77/140 i.e. 11/20

Since 77/140 cupcakes has been made, Lucy and JoJo still need to make;

140 - 77 = 63 cupcakes to meet up their target for the school dance.

This means that the fraction left is 63/140

63/140 in its lowest term is 9/20

Hence, 9/20 of the cupcakes still need to be made by Lucy and JoJo.

Explanation: 140 - 35 = 105 - 42 = 63

When a body like earth is moving in a circular path the work done in that case is zero because: (a) Centripetal force acts in the direction of motion of the body (b) Centripetal force acts along the radius of circular path (c) Gravitational force acts along the radius of circular path (d) Centrifugal force acts perpendicular to the radius of circular path

Answers

Answer:

(b) Centripetal force acts along the radius of circular path

Explanation:

Centripetal force is a force experienced by a body moving in a circular path. It is expressed mathematically ad F = mv²/r

m is the mass of the body

v is the velocity

r is the radius of the circular path

When a body moves in a circular path, work dome is zero because Centripetal force acts along the radius of circular path and the force is at right angle with the motion of body.

An apple is dropped from a 260m high building. How long will it take to hit the ground in
seconds)?

Answers

Answer:

7.28 s

Explanation:

s=-260

u=0

assume a=-9.81

t=?

s=1/2at^2 + ut

-260=1/2 (-9.81) t^2 +0t

t=7.28 s

The time taken for the apple to hit the ground from the high building is 7.28s.

Given the data in the question;

Before the apple was dropped, it was initially at rest, so

Initial velocity; [tex]u = 0 m/s[/tex]Distance or height from which it was dropped from; [tex]s = 260m[/tex]

 

To find the time it will take for the apple to hit the ground

We use the Second Equation of Motion:

[tex]s = u^2 + \frac{1}{2}at^2[/tex]

Where s is the distance or height from which it was dropped, u is its initial velocity, t is time and a is the acceleration due to gravity.

We know that earth's gravitational field or acceleration due to gravity; [tex]g = 9.8m/s^2[/tex]

Since the apple is falling, it under gravity; [tex]a = g = 9.8m/s^2[/tex]

We substitute our values into the equation and find t

[tex]260m = (0m/s)^2 + (\frac{1}{2} \ *\ 9.8m/s^2\ *\ t^2 )\\\\260m = 4.9m/s^2 \ * \ t^2\\\\t^2 = \frac{260m}{4.9m/s^2}\\\\t^2 = 53.06^2\\\\t = \sqrt{53.06s^2} \\\\t = 7.28s[/tex]

Therefore, the time taken for the apple to hit the ground from the high building is 7.28s

Answers

Answer:

The samples specific heat is 14.8 J/kg.K

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight = 28.4 N

Suppose, heat energy [tex]E=1.25\times10^{4}\ J[/tex]

Temperature = 18°C

We need to calculate the samples specific heat

Using formula of specific heat

[tex]c=\dfrac{Q}{m\Delta T}[/tex]

Where, m = mass

c = specific heat

[tex]\Delta T[/tex] = temperature

Q = heat

Put the value into the formula

[tex]c=\dfrac{1.25\times10^{4}}{\dfrac{28.4}{9.8}\times(18+273)}[/tex]

[tex]c=14.8\ J/kg. K[/tex]

Hence, The samples specific heat is 14.8 J/kg.K

Hypertonic solution :

If the solution concentration is lower than the solute concentration then it is called hypertonic solution.

Hypotonic solution :  

If the solution concentration is higher than the solute concentration then it is called hypotonic solution.

We need to find what will happen to the blood cell

Using given data

The solution concentration is higher than the solute concentration.

So, The solution will be hypotonic solution.

Problem #2: An apple is thrown upward with an initial velocity of +24.0 m/s. a. Sketch the apple's trip and label what you know. b. How high will the apple go? (Ans: +29.4 m) c. What is the total time needed for the apple to return to its original position? (Ans: 4.90 s)

Answers

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

a) The initial velocity (u) = 24 m/s

We can solve this problem using the formula:

v² = u² - 2gh

where v = final velocity, g= acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s², h = height.

At maximum height, the final velocity = 0 m/s

v² = u² - 2gh

0² = 24² - 2(9.8)h

2(9.8)h = 24²

2(9.8)h = 576

19.6h = 576

h = 29.4 m

b) The time taken to reach the maximum height is given as:

v = u - gt

0 = 24 - 9.8t

9.8t = 24

t = 2.45 s

The total time needed for the apple to return to its original position = 2t = 2 * 2.45 = 4.9 s

An object weighs 530.0 Newton. It is being pushed along a horizontal surface by a 340.0-
Newton force. Determine the mass of the object. Enter a numerical answer.

Answers

Answer:

54.08 kg

Explanation:

The weight of an object is the force of gravity acting on the object and is related to the mass of the object as;

Weight = mass x acceleration due to gravity (g), where g = 9.8 m/s.

Hence, the weight of the object is only dependent on its mass and g, not on any other force. Now, if the weight is 530.0 N,

530 = m x 9.8

   m = 530/9.8

                = 54.08 kg

Therefore, the weight of the object is 54.08 kg.

What is the definition of law of conservation of energy

Answers

Answer:

The law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed - only converted from one form of energy to another. This means that a system always has the same amount of energy, unless it's added from the outside. This is particularly confusing in the case of non-conservative forces, where energy is converted from mechanical energy into thermal energy, but the overall energy does remain the same. The only way to use energy is to transform energy from one form to another.

A boat covered 5/9 of a journey at an average speed of 25
mph. Then, it travelled the remaining 120 miles at another
speed. If the total time of the whole journey was 8.5 hours,
what was the amount of time the boat spent on the remaining
120 miles? (Write as a decimal.)
_____ hours


Need it for now

Answers

Answer:

Thus, the time for the remaining 120 miles: 8.5 - 6 = 2.5 h

Explanation:

The remaining 120 miles was (1 - 5/9 = 4/9) of the total journey.

Then, total distance: 120 ÷ 4/9 = 120 × 9/4 = 270 miles

The distance for 25 mph: 270 × 5/9 = 150 miles

The time for 25 mph: 150 ÷ 25 = 6 h

The boat spent 2.5 hours on the remaining 120 miles.

What is speed?

Speed is distance travelled by the object per unit time. Due to having no direction and only having magnitude, speed is a scalar quantity With SI unit meter/second.

According to the question, The remaining 120 miles was (1 - 5/9) = 4/9of the total journey.

Then, total distance travelled by the boat: 120 ÷ 4/9 = 120 × 9/4 = 270 miles.

The distance travelled by the boat at 25 mph: 270 × 5/9 = 150 miles.

The time taken to travel this distance: 150 ÷ 25 = 6 hours.

Hence, the time for the remaining 120 miles is: 8.5 - 6 = 2.5 hours.
