d. micro is 10⁻⁶, so 1kg is 10⁹ ug
Explanation:
a.
The conversion factor is written inverted. The correct statement will be:
[tex]1000\ kg(\frac{1000\ g}{1\ kg}) = 1\ x\ 10^{6}\ g[/tex]
b.
The values in the conversion factor used are wrong. The correct statement will be:
[tex]50\ m (\frac{100\ cm}{1\ m} ) = 5000\ cm[/tex]
c.
Change of units is the mistake here. The correct statement will be:
"Nano" is 10⁻⁹ , so there are 10⁻⁹ meter in a nm (OR) "Nano" is 10⁻⁹ , so there are 10⁹ nm in a meter.
d.
the conversion will be as follows:
[tex]1\ kg(\frac{1000\ g}{1\ kg})(\frac{1\ \mu g}{10^{-6}\ g}) = 10^9 \mu g[/tex]
therefore, the correct statement will be:
micro is 10⁻⁶, so 1kg is 10⁹ ug

Answers
Answer:
a. At a distance greater than r
b. T_m is greater than T_e.
Explanation:
a. Two identical satellites orbit the earth in stable orbits. One satellite orbits with a speed vat a distance r from the center of the earth. The second satellite travels at a speed that is less than v. At what distance from the center of the earth does the second satellite orbit?
Since the centripetal force on any satellite, F equals the gravitational force F' at r,
and F = mv²/r and F' = GMm/r² where m = mass of satellite, v = speed of satellite, G = universal gravitational constant, M = mass of earth and r = distance of satellite from center of earth.
Now, F = F'
mv²/r = GMm/r²
v² = GM/r
v = √GM/r
Since G and M are constant,
v ∝ 1/√r
So, if the speed decreases, the radius of the orbit increases.
Since the second satellite travels at a speed less than v, its radius, r increases since v ∝ 1/√r.
So, the distance the second satellite orbits is at a distance greater than r
b. An identical satellite is orbiting the moon at the same distance with a speed v_m. How does the time T_m it takes the satellite circling the moon to make one revolution compare to the time T_e it takes the satellite orbiting the earth to make one revolution?
Since the speed of the satellite, v = √GM/r where M = mass of planet
Since the satellite is orbiting at the same distance, r is constant
So, v ∝ √M
Since mass of earth M' is greater than mass of moon, M", the speed of satellite circling moon, v_m is less than v the speed of satellite circling earth at the same distance, r
Now, period T = 2πr/v where r = radius of orbit and v = speed of satellite
Since r is constant for both orbits, T ∝ 1/v
Now, since the speed of the speed of the satellite on earth orbit v is greater than the speed of the satellite orbiting the moon, v_m, and T ∝ 1/v, it implies that the period of the satellite orbiting the earth, T_e is less than the period of the satellite orbiting the moon, T_m since there is an inverse relationship between T and v. T_e is less T_m implies T_m is greater than T_e
So, T_m is greater than T_e.

A scenario where reaction time is important is when driving on the highway. During the delay between seeing an obstacle and reacting to avoid it (or to slam on the brakes!) you are still moving at full highway speed. Calculate how much distance you cover in meters before you start to put your foot on the brakes if you are travelling 65 miles per hour.
Answers
Answer:
66.83 meters
Explanation:
After a quick online search, it seems that scientists calculate the average reaction time of individuals as 2.3 seconds between seeing an obstacle and putting their foot on the brakes. Now that we have this reaction time we need to turn the miles/hour into meters/second.
1 mile = 1609.34 meters (multiply these meters by 65)
65 miles = 104,607 meters
1 hour = 3600 seconds
Therefore the car was going 104,607 meters every 3600 seconds. Let's divide these to find the meters per second.
[tex]\frac{104,607}{3600} = \frac{29.0575 meters}{1 second}[/tex]
Now we simply multiply these meters by 2.3 seconds to find out the distance covered before the driver puts his/her foot on the brakes...
29.0575m * 2.3s = 66.83 meters
Using only astronomical data from the Appendix E in the textbook, calculate the speed of the planet Venus in its essentially circular orbit around the sun.
Venus = 4.87x10^24
Answers
Answer:
[tex]v=3.49\times 10^4\ m/s[/tex]
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass of Venus, [tex]M_V=4.87\times 10^{24}\ kg[/tex]
We know that,
Mass of Sun, [tex]M_s=1.98\times 10^{30}\ kg[/tex]
The distance between the center of Sun and the center of Venus is [tex]1.08\times 10^{11}\ m[/tex]
We need to find the peed of the planet Venus in its essentially circular orbit around the sun. using the formula,
[tex]v=\sqrt{\dfrac{GM_s}{r}}[/tex]
Put all the values,
[tex]v=\sqrt{\dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 1.98\times 10^{30}}{1.08\times 10^{11}}}\\\\v=3.49\times 10^4\ m/s[/tex]
So, the speed of the planet venus is [tex]3.49\times 10^4\ m/s[/tex].
A boy throws a ball straight up with a speed of 21.5 m/s. The ball has a mass of 0.19 kg. How much gravitational potential energy will the ball have at the top of its flight? (Assume there is no air resistance.) A. 43.9 J B. 37.5 J C. 48.5 J D. 41.2 J
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
The equation fo potential energy is PE = mgh, where m is the mass of the ball, g is the pull of gravity (constant at 9.8), and h is the max height of the ball. What we do not have here is that height. We need to first solve for it using one-dimensional equations. What we have to know above all else, is that the final velocity of an object at its max height is always 0. That allows us to use the equation
[tex]v_f=v_0+at[/tex] where vf is the final velocity and v0 is the initial velocity. We will find out how long it takes for the object to reach that max height first and then use that time to find out what that max height is. Baby steps here...
0 = 21.5 + (-9.8)t and
-21.5 = -9.8t so
t = 2.19 seconds (Keep in mind that if I used the rules correctly for sig fig's, the answer you SHOULD get is not one shown, so I had to adjust the sig fig's and break the rules. But you know what they say about rules...)
Now we will use that time to find out the max height of the object in the equation
Δx = [tex]v_0t+\frac{1}{2}at^2[/tex] and filling in:
Δx = [tex]21.5(2.19)+\frac{1}{2}(-9.8)(2.19)^2[/tex] which simplifies down a bit to
Δx = 47.1 - 23.5 so
Δx = 23.6 meters.
Now we can plug that in to the PE equation to find the PE of the object:
PE = (.19)(9.8)(23.6) so
PE = 43.9 J
A hoop rolls with constant velocity and without sliding along level ground. Its rotational kinetic energy is:______a- half its translational kinetic energyb- the same as its translational kinetic energyc- twice its translational kinetic energyd- four times its translational kinetic energy
Answers
Answer:
The same as its translational KE.
The easy way to do this is to make up numbers and use them.
So, I'll say m=2 and r=3. I will also say v=3 .
Rot. Inertia of a hoop is mr^2. So the rot KE is: 1/2 (mr^2)(w^2)
note: (1/2*I*w^2)
Translational kinetic energy is basically normal KE, so 1/2(m)(v^2)
Now, lets plug our made up values in:
Rot Ke : 1/2 (9*2)(3/3) *note w = v/r
Tran Ke: 1/2(2)(9)
Rot Ke: 9
Tran Ke: 9
9=9, same.

A constant force F = 6i+8j-6k moves an object along a straight line from point (6, 0, -10) to point (-6, 7, 2).
Find the work done if the distance is measured in meters and the magnitude of the force is measured in newtons.
Answer:
the work done is -88 J
Explanation:
Given the data in the question;
we know that;
Work done = F × S
where constant force F = ( 6i + 8j - 6k )
S = ( -6i + 7j + 2k ) - ( 6i + 0j - 10k )
S = ( (-6i - 6i) + (7j - 0j) + ( 2k - ( -10k) ) )
S = ( -12I + 7j + 12k )
so
Work force = ( 6i + 8j - 6k ) × ( -12I + 7j + 12k )
Work force = ( 6 × -12 ) + ( 8 × 7 ) + ( -6 × 12 )
Work force = -72 + 56 - 72
Work force = -88 J
Therefore, the work done is -88 J

If the pressure of a gas is really due to the random collisions of molecules with the walls of the container, why do pressure gauges – even very sensitive ones – give perfectly steady readings? Shouldn't the gauge be continually jiggling and fluctuating? Explain.
Answers
Answer:
there is no fluctuation in the measurement because the quantity of molecule is too large and a quantity of some molecules is imperceptible.
Explanation:
The pressure measurement is carried out by calibrating the force exerted by the air on a surface of known area, suppose a small area 1 mm² = 0.01 cm²
To find out if the random movement of air molecules affects the pressure reading, let's calculate the number of molecules that reaches the pressure gauge.
In a system at atmospheric pressure and in a volume of 1 m³ (walls of 1 m each) there is one mole of air molecules, this mole is evenly distributed, so how many molecules fall on our surface
# _molecule = 6.02 10²³ 0.01 10⁻⁴ / 1
#_molecular = 6.02 10¹⁷ molecules per second
therefore the variation of the number of molecules is not very important
Consequently there is no fluctuation in the measurement because the quantity of molecule is too large and a quantity of some molecules is imperceptible.

A string that is under 50.0N of tension has linear density 5.0g/m. A sinusoidal wave with amplitude 3.0cm and wavelength 2.0m travels along the string. What is the maximum speed of a particle on the string
Answers
Answer:
9.42 m/s
Explanation:
Applying,
V' = Aω.............. Equation 1
Where V' = maximum speed of the string, A = Amplitude of the wave, ω = angular velocity.
But,
ω = 2πf................. Equation 2
Where f = frequency, π = pie
And,
f = v/λ................ Equation 3
Where, λ = wave length, v = velocity
Also,
v = √(T/μ)................. Equation 4
Where T = Tension, μ = linear density.
From the question,
Given: T = 50.0 N, μ = 5.0 g/m = 0.005 kg/m
Substitute into equation 4
v = √(50/0.005)
v = √(10000)
v = 100 m/s
Also Given: λ = 2.0 m
Substitute into equation 3
f = 100/2
f = 50 Hz.
Substitute the value of f into equation 2
Where π = constant = 3.14
ω = 2(3.14)(50)
ω = 314 rad/s
Finally,
Given: A = 3.0 cm = 0.03 m
Substitute into equation 1
V' = 0.03(314)
V' = 9.42 m/s

What are the messing forces that would make the object be in equilibrium?
Answers
Answer:
A) 20 N, B) 20 N, & C) 8 N
Explanation:
For the object to be in equilibrium, the upward forces must be equal to the downward forces and the forward forces must be equal to the backward forces.
1. Determination of A and B.
Forward forces = Backward forces
A + 10 + B = 25 + 25
A + 10 + B = 50
Collect like terms
A + B = 50 – 10
A + B = 40
Assume A and B to be equal. Thus, A is 20 N and B is 20 N.
2. Determination of C
Upward forces = Downward forces
C + 112 = 20 + 100
C + 112 = 120
Collect like terms
C = 120 – 112
C = 8 N
Thus, for the object to be in equilibrium, A must be 20 N, B must be 20 N and C must be 8N.
The latent heat of vaporization of water is roughly 10 times the latent heat of fusion of water. The amount of heat required to boil away 1 kg of water is __________ the amount of heat required to melt 1 kg of ice.
Answers
Answer:
The amount of heat required to boil away 1 kg of water is 10 times the amount of heat required to melt 1 kg of ice
Explanation:
let the latent heat of fusion of ice = L
then, the latent heat of vaporization of water = 10L
The heat of fusion of 1 kg of ice = 1 x L = L
The heat of vaporization 1 kg of water = 1 x 10L = 10L
Therefore, the amount of heat required to boil away 1 kg of water is 10 times the amount of heat required to melt 1 kg of ice
