The force of gravity acting between the Earth and the Hubble telescope can be expressed with the equation:

F=G\frac{M m}{r^2}

In this equation:

G represents the gravitational constant

M denotes the mass of the Earth

m stands for the mass of the Hubble telescope

r signifies the distance from the Earth’s center to the Hubble telescope


By rearranging and plugging in the known values, we can calculate the mass of the telescope:

m=\frac{F r^2}{GM}=\frac{(9.21 \cdot 10^4 N)(6.94 \cdot 10^6 m)^2}{(6.67 \cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1} s^{-2} )(5.98 \cdot 10^{24}kg) } = 11121 kg

A test car carrying a crash test dummy accelerates from 0 to 30 m/s and then crashes into a brick wall. Describe the direction o
Maru [3345]

Answer:

The direction in which a vehicle accelerates aligns with its velocity direction. However, the force of acceleration works against the car's speed.

Explanation:

The car’s initial acceleration can be found using:

v = v₀ + a t

a = (v-v₀) t

which assumes the initial speed is zero (v₀ = 0 m/s).

a = v / t

a = 300 / t

The acceleration vector matches the direction of the vehicle's movement.

Upon hitting the wall, a force is exerted in the reverse direction to halt the car, thus this acceleration opposes the vehicle’s speed. However, the module should be much greater since the stopping distance is minimal.

By how much does the gravitational potential energy of a 54-kg pole vaulter change if her center of mass rises about 4.0 m durin
Ostrovityanka [3204]
<span>At ground level, the gravitational potential energy of any object is zero. To calculate potential energy, you multiply the object's height in meters by its mass in kilograms and the acceleration due to gravity to arrive at Joules. Any object at ground level will have a potential energy totaling zero newtons since anything times zero equals zero. A mass of 54 kg situated 4 meters above ground possesses a gravitational potential energy of 2116.8 Joules.</span>

A motorcycle is following a car that is traveling at constant speed on a straight highway. Initially, the car and the motorcycle
Softa [3030]

Answer:

a) \Delta{t} = 5.39s

b) the distance the motorcycle covers is 155 m

Explanation:

Let t_2-t_1 = \Delta{t} denote the variables. Next, we analyze the motion equation for the accelerating motorcycle alongside the constant speed of the car:

v_{m2}=v_0+a\Delta{t}\\x+d=(\frac{v_0+v_{m2}}{2} )\Delta{t}\\v_c = v_0 = \frac{x}{\Delta{t}}

where:

v_{m2} represents the motorcycle's speed at time 2

v_{c} is the steady velocity of the car

v_{0} indicates the initial speeds of both vehicle types at time 1

d signifies the distance separating the car and motorcycle at the initial moment

x is the distance the car travels from time 1 to time 2

Solving the equations provides:

\left[\begin{array}{cc}car&motorcycle\\x=v_0\Delta{t}&x+d=(\frac{v_0+v_{m2}}{2}}) \Delta{t}\end{array}\right]

v_0\Delta{t}=\frac{v_0+v_{m2}}{2}\Delta{t}-d \\\frac{v_0+v_{m2}}{2}\Delta{t}-v_0\Delta{t}=d\\(v_0+v_{m2})\Delta{t}-2v_0\Delta{t}=2d\\(v_0+v_0+a\Delta{t})\Delta{t}-2v_0\Delta{t}=2d\\(2v_0+a\Delta{t})\Delta{t}-2v_0\Delta{t}=2d\\a\Delta{t}^2=2d\\\Delta{t}=\sqrt{\frac{2d}{a}}=\sqrt{\frac{2*58}{4}}=\sqrt{29}=5.385s

For the second query, we determine x+d by applying the car’s motion equation to compute x:

x = v_0\Delta{t}= 18\sqrt{29}=96.933m\\then:\\x+d = 154.933
