Using the American Engineering system of units (AES), a) Calculate the weight of a 170.5 lbm person on the surface of the earth, where the local acceleration due to gravity is 32.174 ft/s2 . Report your answer in pound-force, lbf. b) What would be the weight of a 170.5 lbm astronaut on the moon, where the local acceleration due to gravity is 5.32 ft/s2 . Report your answer in pound-force, lbf.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) the weight of the person is 170.5 lbf

b) weight of the astronaut on the moon is 28.2 lbf

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

a)

we know that;

weight on the surface of the earth = m[tex]g_{earth[/tex]

given that m = 170.5 lbm and g = 32.174 ft/s²

we substitute

weight on the surface of the earth =  170.5 lbm × 32.174 ft/s²

= 5485.667 lbm-ft/s²

1 lbf = 32.174 lbm-ft/s²

so

weight on the surface of the earth = (5485.667 / 32.174) lbf

weight on the surface of the earth = 170.5 lbf

Therefore, the weight of the person is 170.5 lbf

b)

given that;

weight on the surface of the earth = m[tex]g_{moon[/tex]

m = 170.5 lbm and g = 5.32 ft/s²

weight on the surface of the earth = 170.5 lbm × 5.32 ft/s²

= 907.06 lbm-ft/s²

1 lbf = 32.174 lbm.ft/s²

weight on the surface of the earth = ( 907.06 / 32.174 ) lbf

weight on the surface of the earth = 28.2 lbf

Therefore, weight of the astronaut on the moon is 28.2 lbf

An 5kg object is released from rest near the surface of a planet. The vertical position of the object as a function of time is shown in the graph. All frictional forces are considered to be negligible. What is the closest approximation of the weight of the object.
a) 300N
b) 30N
c) 5N
d) 150N

Answers

Answer:

The correct option is b: 30 N.

Explanation:

First, we need to find the acceleration due to gravity (a):

[tex] y_{f} - y_{0} = v_{o}t - \frac{1}{2}a(\Delta t)^{2} [/tex]   (1)

Where:

[tex]y_{f}[/tex]: is the final vertical position (obtained from the graph)

[tex]y_{0}[/tex]: is the initial vertical position (obtained from the graph)

v₀: is the initial speed = 0 (it is released from rest)

Δt: is the variation of time (from the graph)

From the graph, we can take the following values of height and time:

t₀ = 0 s → [tex]t_{f}[/tex] = 5 s

y₀ = 300 m → [tex]y_{f}[/tex] = 225 m

Now, by entering the above values into equation (1) and solving for "a" we have:

[tex] a = 2\frac{y_{0} - y_{f}}{(t_{f} - t_{0})^{2}} = 2\frac{300 m - 225 m}{(5 s - 0)^{2}} = 6 m/s^{2} [/tex]

Finally, the weight of the object is:

[tex] W = ma = 5 kg*6 m/s^{2} = 30 N [/tex]

Therefore, the correct option is b: 30 N.

I hope it helps you!

200 Coulombs of charge passes through a point in a circuit for 0.6 minutes. what is the magnitude of the current flowing​

Answers

Answer:

5.56 A

Explanation:

From the question,

Q = it.............. Equation 1

Where Q = charges, i = current, t = time.

Make i the subject of the equation

i = Q/t.............. Equation 2

Given: Q = 200 coulombs, t = 0.6 minutes = (0.6×60) seconds

Substitite these values into equation 2

i = 200/(0.6×60)

i = 5.56 A

Hence the magnitude of the current flowing through the circuit is 5.56 A

Which of the following is true about an object that travels 5 meters to the left, then 2
meters up, then another 5 meters to the right?
A Displacement of the object is equal to 12 meters.
B. Displacement of the object is equal to 12 meters down.
C: Total distance travelled by the object is equal to 12 meters.
D. Total distance travelled by the object is equal to 12 meters down.​

Answers

Answer:

Total distance travelled by the object is equal to 12 meters.

Explanation:

Given that,

An object that travels 5 meters to the left, then 2  meters up, then another 5 meters to the right.

Displacement is equal to the shortest path covered and the distance is equal to the total path covered.

Displacement = -5+2+5

= 2 m down

Distance = 5+5+2

= 12 m

Hence, the correct option is (c) "Total distance traveled by the object is equal to 12 meters."

The option that is true about an object that travels 5 meters to the left, then 2 meters up, then another 5 meters to the right is C. Total distance traveled by the object is equal to 12 meters.

Displacement simply means the overall change in the position of an object. It's a vector quantity. On the other hand, distance is a scalar quantity and it represents how much ground that an object has been able to cover.

Therefore, the distance will be:

= 5m + 2m + 5m

= 12m

The distance is 12 meters.

We intend to measure the open-loop gain (LaTeX: A_{open}A o p e n ) of an actual operational amplifier. The magnitude of LaTeX: A_{open}A o p e n is in the range of 106 V/V. However, the signal generator in measurement setup can supply minimal voltage of 1 mV, and the oscilloscope used at amplifier output can measure maximal voltage level of 10 V. Can you design a simple measurement setup using this signal generator and oscilloscope, and accurately measure the LaTeX: A_{open}A o p e n

Answers

Answer:

voltage divider,  R₂ = 1000 R₁

measuring the output in the resistance R₁

Explanation:

Let's analyze the situation, in an op amp in open gain loop, the gain is maximum G = 10⁶ V / V

in this case the signal generator gives a minimum wave of 1 10⁻³ V, after passing through the amplified it becomes 10³ V which saturates the oscilloscope.

To solve this problem we must use a simple voltage divider, for this we use the fact that in a series circuit the voltage is the sum of the voltages of each element.

If we use two resistors whose relationship is

            R₂ / R₁ = 10³

            R₂ = 1000 R₁

When measuring the output in the resistance R₁ we have the desired divider, with a tolerance range, for the minimum output of the generator (1 10⁻³V) we have a reading of V = 1 V in the oscilloscope, for which we can use voltage up to 10V on the generator

A radio station is transmitting at a frequency of 15.42 MHz.Calculate the frequency of
the transmission

Answers

Answer:

The wavelength of the transmitting waves is 55.35 m

Explanation:

Radio waves are electromagnetic waves, thus travel at the speed of light (3.0 x [tex]10^{8}[/tex] m/s)

The frequency of transmission = 15.42 MHz

                                                   = 15.42 x [tex]10^{6}[/tex] Hz

But,

         v = fλ

where: v is the velocity of the wave, f is the frequency and λ is the wavelength

The wavelength of the transmitting waves can be determined by,

λ = [tex]\frac{v}{f}[/tex]

  = [tex]\frac{3.0 *10^{8} }{5.42 *10^{6} }[/tex]

  = 55.3506

λ = 55.35 m

The wavelength of the transmitting waves is 55.35 m.

explain briefly where the energy come from when a liquid Rises against Gravity in a capillary tube​

Answers

Answer:

Surface tension

Explanation:

When liquid rises against gravity in a capillary tube, the energy comes from surface tension.

This is because surface tension is the energy that's needed to increase the liquid surface area.

As a result of hydrogen bonding present in Water, it usually has high surface tension which makes it to possess a tough skin that can make it not to break despite high forces applied to it.

The liquid will be in contact with the capillary tube and as such experiences surface tension which in turn makes the capillary tube to experience an upward force that makes the liquid begin to rise up.

The more the liquid keeps rising, the more it gets to the point where the surface tension becomes balanced from the weight of the liquid.
