Considering only the earth's rotation, determine how much later the asteroid would have had to arrive to put the explosion above

tangare [24]

Answer:

5.1 hours

Explanation:

The only fact we need to know about such a question is that when gazing down at the north pole, the earth spins longitudinally at 360 degrees / day in the clockwise direction.

The planet would have to spin an additional 77 ° to strike the asteroid at 25° E. If the earth rotates in 24 hours 360 degrees, then it must it rotates in 5.1 h at 77 degrees.

The acceleration due to gravity on the Moon's surface is

Molodets [167]

Answer:

50 lb

Explanation:

Given,

The weight of astronaut's life support backpack on Earth (w) = 300 lb

Acceleration due to gravity on Earth (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Acceleration due to gravity on Moon = g'

$g'=\frac{g}{6}$

We know that weight of an object on Earth is,

$w = m\times g$

$m = \frac{w}{g}$

Similarly, weight on Moon will be

$w' = m\times g'$

$w' = \frac{w}{g}\times\frac{g}{6}$

$w' = \frac{300}{6}$

$w' = 50$

Thus the astronaut's life support backpack will weigh 50 lb on Moon.

Small rockets are used to make small adjustments in the speed of satellites. One such rocket has a thrust of 42 N. If it is fire

Over [174]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to Newton's second law that relates force as the product between acceleration and mass. From there, we will get the acceleration. Finally, through the cinematic equations of motion we will find the time required by the object.

If the Force (F) is 42N on an object of mass (m) of 83000kg we have that the acceleration would be by Newton's second law.

$F = ma \rightarrow a = \frac{F}{m}$
