Answer:
A) 2.650 km
Explanation:
The relationship between acceleration of gravity and gravitational constant is:
[tex]g = \frac{Gm}{R^2}[/tex] ---- (1)
Where
[tex]R = 6,400 km[/tex] -- Radius of the earth.
From the question, we understand that the gravitational field of the rocket is 50% of its original value.
This means that:
[tex]g_{rocket} = 50\% * g[/tex]
[tex]g_{rocket} = 0.50 * g[/tex]
[tex]g_{rocket} = 0.5g[/tex]
For the rocket, we have:
[tex]g_{rocket} = \frac{Gm}{r^2}[/tex]
Where r represent the distance between the rocket and the center of the earth.
Substitute 0.5g for g rocket
[tex]0.5g = \frac{Gm}{r^2}[/tex] --- (2)
Divide (1) by (2)
[tex]\frac{g}{0.5g} = \frac{Gm}{R^2}/\frac{Gm}{r^2}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{g}{0.5g} = \frac{Gm}{R^2}*\frac{r^2}{Gm}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1}{0.5} = \frac{1}{R^2}*\frac{r^2}{1}[/tex]
[tex]2 = \frac{r^2}{R^2}[/tex]
Take square root of both sides
[tex]\sqrt 2 = \frac{r}{R}[/tex]
Make r the subject
[tex]r = R * \sqrt 2[/tex]
Substitute [tex]R = 6,400 km[/tex]
[tex]r = 6400km * \sqrt 2[/tex]
[tex]r = 6400km * 1.414[/tex]
[tex]r = 9 049.6\ km[/tex]
The distance (d) from the earth surface is calculated as thus;
[tex]d = r - R[/tex]
[tex]d = 9049.6\ km - 6400\ km[/tex]
[tex]d = 2649.6\ km[/tex]
[tex]d = 2650\ km[/tex] --- approximated
One of the harmonics of a column of air in a tube that is open at both ends has a frequency of 448 Hz, and the next higher harmonic has a frequency of 576 Hz. What is the fundamental frequency of the air column in this tube?
Answer:
The fundamental frequency is [tex]f_1 =128 \ Hz[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The frequency of one harmonics is [tex]f_x= 448 \ Hz[/tex]
The next higher harmonic is [tex]f_z = 576 \ Hz[/tex]
Generally the frequency of an air column open at both ends is mathematically represented as
[tex]f_n = \frac{nv }{ 2 L }[/tex]
Here n is the order of the harmonics (frequency)
v is the velocity of the sound
L is the length of the column
So for one harmonics we have that
[tex]f_k = \frac{n v }{2L}[/tex]
Then for the next higher harmonics
[tex]f_x = \frac{n+1 ) v}{2 L }[/tex]
Generally the difference between these frequencies is mathematically represented as
[tex]f_z- f_x = \frac{(n+1 )v}{ 2L} - \frac{(n )v}{ 2L}[/tex]
=> [tex]576 - 448 = \frac{vn + v - nv }{2L}[/tex]
=> [tex]\frac{ v }{2L} = 128[/tex]
Generally for fundamental frequency n = 1
So
[tex]f_1 = n * \frac{v}{2L}[/tex]
So
[tex]f_1 =1 * 128[/tex]
=> [tex]f_1 =128 \ Hz[/tex]
How long does it take a plane, traveling at a constant speed of 123 m/s, to fly once around a circle whose radius is 4330 m?
Answer:
3.7 minExplanation:
Step one:
given data
speed = 123m/s
radius of circle= 4330m
Step two:
We need to find the circumference of the circle, it represents the distance traveled
C=2πr
C= 2*3.142*4330
C= 27209.72m
Step three:
We know that velocity= distance/time
time= distance/velocity
time= 27209.72/123
time=221.2 seconds
in minute = 221.2/60
time= 3.7 min
There is a bell at the top of a tower that is 45 m high. The bell weighs 190 N. The bell has ____________ energy.
Answer:
The bell has 8,550 Joule energy.
Explanation:
Gravitational Potential Energy
Gravitational potential energy is the energy stored in an object because of its height in a gravitational field.
It can be calculated with the equation:
U=m.g.h
Where:
m = mass of the object
h = height
g = acceleration of gravity, or [tex]9.8 m/s^2[/tex]
Since the weight of an object of mass m can be calculated as:
W = m.g
The gravitational potential energy is:
U = W.h
The bell of weight W=190 N at the top of a tower is h=45 m high. Thus its energy is:
U = 190 N . 45 m
U = 8,550 Joule
The bell has 8,550 Joule energy.

3) Yes, it’s a type of lever because the two pedals rotate around a fixed point
The free-body diagram below shows the forces acting on a bicycle as the
rider pedals to the right. The vectors are not drawn to scale. The bicycle has a
weight of 800 N and a pedaling force of 250 N. As it moves, it encounters 75
N of air resistance. What is the net force on the bicycle in the x-direction?
Answer:
175 N to the right
Explanation:
I am taking the quiz and this is the correct answer. The pedaling force if 250 N but when it encounters 75 N of air resistance, it reduces to 175 N. This is because the air resistance is going opposite of you.
The weight of the bike and the cyclist are a force that the Earth applies to both of them and that acts vertically and downward, causing an action on the ground. The pedal-pushing force is transmitted from the crank arm to the chainring axis via the transmission forces.
What forces acting on a moving bicycle?When we press the pedals, the force travels to the back wheel, which then applies pressure to the ground. Strength of action. The pavement responds by exerting a force in the opposite direction but in the same direction on the back wheel. Hence, always move forward.
Therefore, Walking and biking are made possible through la friction. The friction created by the tire's pressure on the ground, It prevents the tire from rotating and keeps the lowest part of the wheel on the ground. The wheel is driven by this force, which is transferred to the wheel axle.

A metal box of weigh 20 N rests on its 1 m by 0.6m side on floor. How
much is the pressure exerted by the metal box on the floor? Take g=
10 m/s
Answer:
P = 33.33 [Pa]
Explanation:
The pressure can be calculated by the relationship of the force over the area.
[tex]P =F/A[/tex]
where:
F = force = 20 [N]
A = area = 1 x 0.6 = 0.6 [m²]
Now replacing:
[tex]P=20/0.6\\P=33.33 [Pa][/tex]

A 500 kg car is moving at 30 m/s. The driver sees a barrier ahead. If the car takes 100 m to come to rest, what is the magnitude of the force necessary to stop the car?
How do you solve this question?
Answer:
F = 2250 [N]
Explanation:
In order to solve this problem, we must first use the following equation of kinematics.
[tex]v_{f}^{2} =v_{o}^{2}-2*a*x[/tex]
where:
Vf = final velocity = 0 (come to rest)
Vo = initial velocity = 30 [m/s]
a = acceleration or desaceleration [m/s²]
x = distance = 100 [m]
[tex](0)=30^{2} -2*a*100\\900 = 200*a\\a = 4.5 [m/s^{2}][/tex]
Now we must use the following equation of kinetics, which is based on Newton's second law that explains that the sum of forces on a body is equal to the product of mass by acceleration.
∑F = m*a
where:
F = force [N]
m = mass = 500 [kg]
a = acceleration = 4.5 [m/s²]
[tex]F = 500*4.5\\F = 2250 [N][/tex]
