The escape velocity of a rocket from the earth is 11kms^-1. Taking the acceleration due to gravity as 9.8ms^-2, calculate the radius of the earth.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

6.37*10^6 m

Explanation:

We know that,

g = GM/R²

values given to us

acceleration due to gravity = g = 9.8 m/s²

Mass of the earth is= 6.4*10^24

G = 6.67*[tex]10^{-11}[/tex]

implementing

9.8 = 6.67*10^-11 * 6*10^24/R^2

9.8 = 40.02 * 10^13/ R^2

R^2 = 4002/98 * 10^12

R^2 = 40.83* 10^12

R= 6.37*10^6 m   (approximately)

Friends tell you that on a recent trip their average velocity was +20 m/s. Is it possible that at any time during their trip their velocity was -20 m/s? Explain, and give an example to justify your answer. PLEASE HELP

Answers

Answer: Yes. Please find the answer in the explanation.

Explanation:

Yes. Since velocity is a vector quantity, that is, it has both magnitude and direction.

If the displacements covered are not of the same direction, the velocity will not also of the same direction.

Take for instance, if the velocity in a positive is 40 m/s and velocity in the opposite direction is - 20 m/s . Then, the resultant velocity will be 40 - 20 = 20 m/s

Therefore,  it is possible that at any time during their trip their velocity was -20 m/s.

Answers

Answer:

a person climbs a set of stairs

Explanation:

A person climbing a set of stairs increases his height, which also increases his gravitopotential energy. Gravitopotential energy increases with height as you move further away from the surface of the Earth.

A wind up toy winding down is already expending its stored up potential energy. An apple falling from a tree is already losing its gravitipotential energy. A firecracker that explodes is already using up the potential energy stored in its chemical. All these are cases where the potential energy is decreasing.

Explain Any Ten Forces Briefly.​

Answers

Answer:

--->

Explanation:

1. Air Resistance- this is a type of frictional force that acts upon objects as they travel through air. It usually opposes the motion of an object and it is mathematically difficult to predict its value.

2. Gravity- the force of gravity is the force that the earth, and moon use to attract an object towards itself. The moon has far less gravity than earth. All objects on earth experience a force of gravity that pulls them downward, towards the center of the earth.

3. Tension- the tension force is the force that is transmitted through a string, rope, cable or wire when it is pulled from opposite ends. The tension force is directed along the length of the wire and pulls equally on the objects on the opposite ends of the wire

4. Friction- this is the force exerted by a surface when an object moves across it. Friction results from the two surfaces being pressed together closely.

5. Electromagnetic force- although they don't seem similar, electricity and magnetism are related. Flowing electrons produce magnetism, and a moving magnet produces electricity.

6. Upthrust- this is the upward force that a liquid or gas exerts on a body floating in it.

7. Spring force- The spring force is the force exerted by a compressed  spring upon any object that is attached to it. This object is always acted upon by a force that restores the object to its rest or equilibrium position.

8. Applied force- An applied force is a force that is applied to an object by a person or another object.

9. Electrostatic force- The types of forces exerted by all electrically charged bodies on another charged bodies in the universe are ‘electrostatic forces’. They can be either positively or negatively charged.

10. Nuclear force- these are the forces that act between two or more nucleons. They bind protons and neutrons into atomic nuclei. The nuclear force is about 10 millions times stronger than the chemical binding that holds atoms together in molecules.

Assume each mark on the scale represented 1 g. Estimate how much a sheet of paper would mass. A sheet of paper is 28 cm by 21.7 cm.

Answers

Answer:

607.6g

Explanation:

Assume each mark on the scale represented 1 g. That is 1 cm = 1g

To estimate how much a sheet of paper would mass a sheet of paper is 28 cm by 21.7 cm, first calculate the area.

Area = 28 × 21.7 = 607.6 cm^2

Mass = 607.6 × 1g = 607.6 g

Therefore, the estimation will be 607.6g

How much time does a bike with an acceleration of 2ms-2 take to increase its velocity from 10ms-1 to 30ms-1?​

Answers

Answer:

[tex] \boxed{\sf Time \ taken = 10 \ seconds} [/tex]

Given:

Initial velocity (u) = 10 m/s

Final velocity (v) = 30 m/s

Acceleration (a) = 2 m/s²

To Find:

Time taken (t) by bike to increase its velocity from 10 m/s to 30 m/s with an acceleration of 2 m/s²

Explanation:

[tex]\sf From \ equation \ of \ motion:[/tex]

[tex] \boxed{ \bold{v = u + at}}[/tex]

Substituting values of v, u & a in the equation:

[tex] \sf \implies 30 = 10 + 2t[/tex]

Substract 10 from both sides:

[tex] \sf \implies 30 - 10 = (10 - 10) + 2t[/tex]

[tex] \sf \implies 20 = 2t[/tex]

20 = 2t is equivalent to 2t = 20:

[tex] \sf \implies 2t = 20[/tex]

Dividing both sides by 2:

[tex] \sf \implies \frac{ \cancel{2}t}{ \cancel{2}} = \frac{20}{2} [/tex]

[tex] \sf \implies t = \frac{10 \times \cancel{2}}{ \cancel{2}} [/tex]

[tex] \sf \implies t = 10 \: s[/tex]

So,

Time taken (t) by bike to increase its velocity from 10 m/s to 30 m/s with an acceleration of 2 m/s² = 10 seconds

The diagram shows the layers formed when 10 mL each of corn starch, water, and vegetable oil were slowly poured into a glass cylinder. A tall cylinder with 3 layers is shown. The top layer is labeled Oil, the middle layer is labeled Water and the bottom layer is labeled Corn Starch. A paper clip released gently into the liquid settles at the bottom of the cylinder. What best compares the densities of the substances? Oil is denser than the other liquids, and all liquids are denser than the clip. The clip is denser than the three liquids, and water is denser than oil. Oil is denser than water but less dense than the clip. Corn starch is denser than the other liquids and the clip.

Answers

Answer:

The clip is denser than the three liquids, and water is denser than oil.

Explanation:

In this exercise, the Archimedes principle must be used, on the thrust that is equal to the weight of the dislodged liquid

          B = ρ_liquid g V_body

when a body is placed on a liquid, the equilibrium equation must be fulfilled

          W - B = 0  

          W = B

            ρ_body g V_body =  ρ _liquid  g V’

from this expression we see that we have three possibilities

* the density of the body is less than the density of the liquid, therefore the body floats

* The density of the body is equal to the density of the liquid, the body is in equilibrium with the liquid, neither floats nor sinks

* the density of the body greater than that of the liquid, the body sinks.

Based on this, the liquids are arranged in the cylinder according to their density.

           ρ_oil ​​ <  ρ_water  <  ρ_starch

as the clip sinks

the density of the clip is higher than that of liquids

We review the final statements and the correct one is: Clip is denser than liquids and water is denser than oil

Tech A says that batteries should be charged as fast as possible. Tech B says that the ideal charging rate is the CCA divided by 70. Who is correct?

Answers

Answer:

Neither A nor B

Explanation:

The charge rate of a battery is the rate at which charge is added to the battery in a given time unit. The unit of charge rate is Coulombs/second or amps

The time to charge a battery, is given by  the battery charging formula which is given as follows;

Battery charging time, t = Battery Ah(Ampere hour)/(Charging current, A)

T = Ah/A

Where;

T = Time (Hours)

Ah = The rating of the battery in Ampere Hour

A = The Current applied given in Amperes

The charging current should 10% of the Ah battery rating, such that a 120 Ah battery requires about 12 Amperes charging current

However, due to losses in the system, the current can be set at 13A

the time for charging will then be t = 120/13 = 9.23 hours

Answers

Answer:

3.7 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

Δx = 10.0 m

v₀ = 2.0 m/s

a = 0.50 m/s²

Find: v

Recall the definition of a parsec.

Answers

Explanation:

One parsec is the distance to an object whose parallax angle is one arcsecond. The radius of the Earth's orbit equals one astronomical unit (AU), so an object that is one parsec distant is 206,265 AU (or 3.26 light-years) away

Answer:

Parsec is a unit of distance used in astronomy, equal to about 3.26 light years (3.086 × 10^13 kilometres). One parsec corresponds to the distance at which the mean radius of the earth's orbit subtends an angle of one second of arc.

A car travels for an hour at a speed of 20 km/r, the next two hours at a speed of 65 km/r and the final hour at a speed of 85 km/r. What is the average speed of the car for the entire trip

Answers

Answer:

170km/hr

Explanation:

Vav=v1+v+v3.....

A car travels for an hour at a speed of 20 km/hour, the next two hours at a speed of 65 km/hour, and the final hour at a speed of 85 km/hour, then the average speed of the car in the entire trip would be  56.25 kilometers/hour.

What is speed?

The total distance covered by any object per unit of time is known as speed. It depends only on the magnitude of the moving object.

As given in the problem,if a car travels for an hour at a speed of 20 km/hour, the next two hours at a speed of 65 km/hour, and the final hour at a speed of 85 km/hour,

The total distance traveled by car =  20×1 + 65×2 +85×1

                                                        =225 kilometers

The total time taken by the car = 4  hours

The avearge speed of the car = 225/4

                                                    =56.25 kilometers/hour

Thus,the average speed of the car would be 56.25 kilometers/hour.
