Answer:

Gravity changes with altitude. as we know The gravitational force is proportional to 1/R2, where R is your distance from the center of the Earth.

eg. The radius of the Earth at the equator is 6400 kilometers.

Let's say you were in a jet at the equator that was 40 kilometers high above the earth's surface.

An electric drill rated at 400 W is connected to a 240V power line. How much current does it draw?

disa [49]

Answer:

1.67 A

Explanation:

Given that,

→ Power (P) = 400 W

→ Potential difference (V) = 240 V

→ Current (I) = ?

The amount of current drawn will be,

→ P = V × I

→ I = P/V

→ I = 400/240

→ I = 1.66666666667

→ [ I = 1.67 A ]

Hence, the current drawn 1.67 A.

A balloon-powered car rolls across the floor at a speed of 0.711 m/s. How long does it take to cover 8.25 m?

devlian [24]

Answer:

Time = 11.60 seconds.

Explanation:

Speed can be defined as distance covered per unit time. Speed is a scalar quantity and as such it has magnitude but no direction.

Mathematically, speed is given by the equation;

$Speed = \frac{distance}{time}$

Given the following data;

Speed = 0.711m/s

Distance = 8.25m

To find the time;

Making time the subject of formula, we have;

$Time = \frac{distance}{speed}$

Substituting into the equation, we have;

$Time = \frac{8.25}{0.711}$

Time = 11.60 secs.

Space-faring astronauts cannot use standard weight scales (since they are constantly in free fall) so instead they determine the

valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

ma = 48.48kg

Explanation:

To find the mass of the astronaut, you first calculate the mass of the chair by using the information about the period of oscillation of the empty chair and the spring constant. You use the following formula:

$T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{m_c}{k}}$ (1)

mc: mass of the chair

k: spring constant = 600N/m

T: period of oscillation of the chair = 0.9s

You solve the equation (1) for mc, and then you replace the values of the other parameters:

$m_c=\frac{T^2k}{4\pi^2}=\frac{(0.9s)^2(600N/m)}{4\pi^2}=12.31kg$ (2)

Next, you calculate the mass of the chair and astronaut by using the information about the period of the chair when the astronaut is sitting on the chair:

T': period of chair when the astronaut is sitting = 2.0s

M: mass of the astronaut plus mass of the chair = ?

$T'=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{M}{k}}\\\\M=\frac{T'^2k}{4\pi^2}=\frac{(2.0s)^2(600N/m)}{4\pi^2}\\\\M=60.79kg$ (3)

Finally, the mass of the astronaut is the difference between M and mc (results from (2) and (3)) :

$m_a=M-m_c=60.79kg-12.31kg=48.48kg$

The mass of the astronaut is 48.48 kg

A golf ball (m = 59.2 g) is struck a blow that makes an angle of 50.5 ◦ with the horizontal. The drive lands 130 m away on a fla

Answer:

The force is calculated as 338.66 N

Explanation:

We know that force is given by

$\overrightarrow{F}=\frac{d\overrightarrow{p}}{dt}=\frac{m(v_{f}-v_{o})}{\Delta t}$

We know that range of a projectile is given by

$R=\frac{v_{o}^{2}sin(2\theta )}{g}$

it is given that R=130 m applying values in the above equation we get

$R=\frac{v_{o}^{2}sin(2\theta )}{g}\\\\v_{0}=\sqrt{\frac{Rg}{sin(2\theta )}}\\\\\therefore v_{o}=\sqrt{\frac{130\times 9.81}{sin(2\times 50.5_{o}} )}\\\\v_{o}=36.04m/s$

Thus the force is obtained as

$\overrightarrow{F}=\frac{d\overrightarrow{p}}{dt}=\frac{59.2\times 10^{}-3(36.04-0)}{6.3\times 10^{-3}}$

Thus force equals $F=338.66N$
