Para calcular el peso utilizamos la fórmula:
F=m*g=882N

Cuando tenemos dos cuerpos, empleamos la fórmula de la gravedad general:
F=G* \frac{ M_{p}*M_{E} }{ r^{2} }
Donde:
G = constante de gravedad = 6.67* 10^{-11} m^{3} kg^{-1} s^{-2}
Mp = masa de la persona = 882 / 9.81= 89.9kg
ME = masa de la Tierra = 5.97* 10^{24} kg
r = distancia entre la Tierra y la persona

A partir de estas dos fórmulas, deducimos que los lados izquierdos son equivalentes, por lo tanto, los lados derechos también deben serlo.
m*g=G* \frac{ M_{p}*M_{E} }{ r^{2} }

Resolviendo esta ecuación para r:
r= \sqrt{G* \frac{ M_{p}*M_{E}}{M_{p}*g}
r=6371116m = 6371.116km

Esta es la distancia desde el centro de la Tierra. El radio de la Tierra es 6370km y la altura sobre la superficie es 6371.116 - 6370 = 1.116km o 1116m.

The capacitors in each circuit are fully charged before the switch is closed. Rank, from longest to shortest, the length of time
Sav [3153]
This involves circuit analysis through simplification of the resistors and capacitors. We need to determine the time constant for each circuit in figures A, B, C, D, and E. This leads to ranking the duration the bulbs remain lit from longest to shortest based on each circuit's time constant. The ranking for the time constants is C > A = E > B > D. Capacitance plays a pivotal role in electrostatics, and devices called capacitors are vital components in electronic circuits. When more charge is applied to a conductor, the voltage escalates proportionately. The capacitance of a conductor is quantified as C = q/v. Adding resistors in series raises resistance while parallel configurations reduce it, conversely increasing capacitance in parallel and diminishing it in series. Thus, circuits with greater time constants take longer to discharge.

A circular surface with a radius of 0.057 m is exposed to a uniform external electric field of magnitude 1.44 × 104 N/C. The mag
Softa [3030]

Answer:

57.94°

Explanation:

We understand that the formula for flux is

\Phi =E\times S\times COS\Theta

where Ф represents flux

           E indicates electric field

           S denotes surface area

        θ signifies the angle between the electric field direction and the surface normal.

It is given that Ф= 78 \frac{Nm^{2}}{sec}

                          E=1.44\times 10^{4}\frac{Nm}{C}

                          S=\pi \times 0.057^{2}

                         COS\Theta =\frac{\Phi }{S\times E}

 =   \frac{78}{1.44\times 10^{4}\times \pi \times 0.057^{2}}

 =0.5306

 θ=57.94°

For a given initial projectile speed Vo, calculate what launch angle A gives the longest range R. Show your work, don't just quo
ValentinkaMS [3465]
The ideal launch angle of 45° for achieving the greatest horizontal distance is only applicable when the starting height matches the final height. 

<span>In this scenario, you can demonstrate it as follows: </span>

<span>the initial velocity is Vo </span>
<span>the launch angle is α </span>

<span>the initial vertical velocity is </span>
<span>Vv = Vo×sin(α) </span>

<span>horizontal velocity becomes </span>
<span>Vh = Vo×cos(α) </span>

<span>the total flight duration is the period required to return to a height of 0 m, thus </span>
<span>d = v×t + a×t²/2 </span>
<span>where </span>
<span>d = distance = 0 m </span>
<span>v = initial vertical velocity = Vv = Vo×sin(α) </span>
<span>t = time =? </span>
<span>a = gravitational acceleration = g (= -9.8 m/s²) </span>
<span>therefore </span>
<span>0 = Vo×sin(α)×t + g×t²/2 </span>
<span>0 = (Vo×sin(α) + g×t/2)×t </span>
<span>t = 0 (obviously, the projectile is at height 0 m at time = 0s) </span>
<span>or </span>
<span>Vo×sin(α) + g×t/2 = 0 </span>
<span>t = -2×Vo×sin(α)/g </span>

<span>Now let's examine the horizontal distance. </span>
<span>r = v × t </span>
<span>where </span>
<span>r = horizontal range =? </span>
<span>v = horizontal velocity = Vh = Vo×cos(α) </span>
<span>t = time = -2×Vo×sin(α)/g </span>
<span>therefore </span>
<span>r = (Vo×cos(α)) × (-2×Vo×sin(α)/g) </span>
<span>r = -(Vo)²×sin(2α)/g </span>

<span>To find the extreme points of r (max or min) with respect to α, the first derivative of r with regards to α must be determined and set to 0. </span>

<span>dr/dα = d[-(Vo)²×sin(2α)/g] / dα </span>
<span>dr/dα = -(Vo)²/g × d[sin(2α)] / dα </span>
<span>dr/dα = -(Vo)²/g × cos(2α) × d(2α) / dα </span>
<span>dr/dα = -2 × (Vo)² × cos(2α) / g </span>

<span>As Vo and g are constants that are not equal to 0, the only solution for dr/dα to equal 0 is when </span>
<span>cos(2α) = 0 </span>
<span>2α = 90° </span>
<span>α = 45° </span>

serg [3582]
The duration required for the seventh car to pass amounts to 13.2 seconds. The train's movement is characterized by uniform acceleration, enabling the application of suvat equations. Initially, we analyze the movement of the first car, utilizing the equation for distance s covered in time t, which corresponds to the length of one car, with u = 0 as the initial velocity and a representing acceleration, over t = 5.0 s. We can rearrange the equation reflecting L as the length of one car. This is similarly applicable for the initial seven cars, accounting for the distance of 7L and the required time t'. With constant acceleration retained, we can derive t' through substitution in the equation, leading to fundamental conclusions regarding the relationship exhibited in the graph of distance against time in uniformly accelerated motion.
