b. Plug in the values from this problem into the formula.


c. Solve the problem, writing out each step.


d. Correct answer

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a.

[tex]F=G\cdot\dfrac{M \cdot m}{r^{2}}[/tex]

b.

[tex]F=6.67430 \times 10^{-11} \dfrac{N \cdot m^2}{kg^2} \times \dfrac{5.97 \times 10^{24} \ kg \times 1,300 \ kg}{(6,578 \ m)^{2}}[/tex]

c.

[tex]F=6.67430 \times 10^{-11} \dfrac{N \cdot m^2}{kg^2} \times \dfrac{5.97 \times 10^{24} \ kg \times 1,300 \ kg}{(6,578 \ m)^{2}} \approx 1.144 \times 10^{13} \ N[/tex]

d. The force of gravity acting on the satellite is approximately 1.144 × 10¹³ N

Explanation:

a. The formula for finding the force of gravity, F, acting object on an object is given as follows;

[tex]F=G\cdot\dfrac{M \cdot m}{r^{2}}[/tex]

Where;

F = The force acting between the Earth and the object

G = The gravitational constant = 6.67430 × 10⁻¹¹ N·m²/kg²

M = The mass of the Earth = 5.97 × 10²⁴ kg

m = The mass of the object

r = The distance between the center of the Earth and the object

b. Finding the gravitational force, 'F', between the Earth and the scientific satellite, we have;

The given mass of the satellite, m = 1,300 kg

The distance between the center of the Earth and the center of the satellite,  r = The length of the radius of the Earth + The height of orbit of the satellite

The given height of orbit of the satellite, h = 200 km

∴ r = R + h = 6,378 km + 200 km = 6,578 m

Therefore, by plugging in the values, we get;

[tex]F=6.67430 \times 10^{-11} \dfrac{N \cdot m^2}{kg^2} \times \dfrac{5.97 \times 10^{24} \ kg \times 1,300 \ kg}{(6,578 \ m)^{2}}[/tex]

c. Solving the above equation gives;

[tex]F=6.67430 \times 10^{-11} \dfrac{N \cdot m^2}{kg^2} \times \dfrac{5.97 \times 10^{24} \ kg \times 1,300 \ kg}{(6,578 \ m)^{2}} \approx 1.144 \times 10^{13} \ N[/tex]

d. The force of gravity acting on the satellite, F ≈ 1.144 × 10¹³ Newton

6. A warehouse employee is pushing a 15.0 kg desk across a floor at a constant speed of 0.50 m/s. How much work must the employee do on the desk to change the speed to 1.00 m/s?​

Answers

Answer:

7.5 J

Explanation:

To answer the question given above, we need to determine the energy that will bring about the speed of 1 m/s. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass (m) = 15 Kg

Velocity (v) = 1 m/s

Energy (E) =?

E = ½mv²

E = ½ × 15 × 1²

E = ½ × 15 × 1

E = ½ × 15

E = 7.5 J

Therefore, to change the speed to 1 m/s, the employee must do a work of 7.5 J.

the acceleration of a moving vehicles is 10 metre per second square what does it means ​

Answers

Answer:

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. What is commonly said as ‘ten meter per second squared’ can bee broken down into ‘ten meter per second per second.’ This gives us the true meaning of the term acceleration.

Just like ‘ten meter per second’ means increasing the displacement by ten meters every second, ‘ten meter per second per second’ means increasing the velocity by ten meters per second every second.

So, basically if you consider the case of a free fall motion, where ‘t’ stands for time and ‘v’ stand for velocity at that instant:

At,

t=0, v=0 m/s

t=1, v=0+10 m/s;

t=2, v=0+10+10 m/s;

t=3, v=0+10+10+10 m/s;

This can also be thought as a Arithmetic Progression where common difference ‘D’ is the acceleration(a), since it adds a 10 m/s to velocity every second and the first term ‘A’ stands for the initial velocity (u). Using this approach we can derive to the first equation of motion:

v = u + at

3. ultraviolet and x rays
4. ultraviolet and infrared

Answers

Answer:

3. ultraviolet and x rays

The two forms of electromagnetic energy are used to produce the most spectacular fluorescence when placed in darkness are ultraviolet and x rays.

What is electromagnetic energy?

Electromagnetic radiation is waves of the electromagnetic field, propagating through space, carrying electromagnetic radiant energy. It includes radio waves, microwaves, infrared, light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays.

What is fluorescence?

Fluorescence is the process in which a substance absorbs light at a high energy, short wavelength and emits light at a lower energy, usually visible wavelength.

What is ultraviolet rays?

Ultraviolet rays is a type of electromagnetic waves in which the wavelength is shorter than visible rays. It is responsible for 10% of sunlight and causes sun tan. It is used to purify water in water purifiers. It kill germs.

What is x rays?

X rays lies beyond ultraviolet rays. It is used to diagnose in medical field. It can destroy living tissues so excessive exposure should be limited to reduce harmful effect.

The color change of fluorescent minerals is most spectacular when the minerals are placed in darkness and exposed to electromagnetic energy shorter than visible light.

Ultraviolet and x rays are shorter than visible light so they exhibit fluorescent property.

The weight of oxygen that combines with 32.06 grams of sulfur in sulfur trioxide = 48 grams

a. The ration of the weights of oxygen that combine with 32.06 g of sulfur = 32:48 = 2:3

b. The law of multiple proportions states that when two elements are able to interact chemically to form more than one compound, then the (different) weights of one of the element that combines with a fixed weight of the other element are in small whole number ratios

A fixed mass of gas has a volume of gas of 25cm3. the pressure of the gas is 100kPA. the volume of the gas is slowly decreased by 15cm3 at a constant temperature. what is the change in the pressure of the gas?
a) 67kPA
b) 150kPA
c) 170kPA
d) 250kPA
give reasons

Answers

A fixed mass of gas has a volume of 25 [tex]cm^3[/tex], the pressure of the gas is 100 kPa, the volume of the gas is slowly decreased by 15 [tex]cm^3[/tex] at a constant temperature, and the change in pressure of the gas is 150 kPa, which is option b.

What is the calculation of the change in pressure?

PV = nRT (P= pressure of the gas, V =volume, n = number of moles of gas, R = gas constant, and T =temperature of the gas in kelvin)

Suppose the gas is an ideal gas and that the temperature is constant,

P1V1 = P2V2

Here P1 = 100 kPa, V1 = 25 [tex]cm^3[/tex], V2 = 10 [tex]cm^3[/tex],

100 kPa x 25 [tex]cm^3[/tex] = P2 x 10 [tex]cm^3[/tex]

P2 = (100 kPa x 25 [tex]cm^3[/tex]) / 10 [tex]cm^3[/tex]

P2 = 250 kPa

the change in pressure of the gas is,

ΔP = P2 - P1 = 250 kPa - 100 kPa = 150 kPa

The reason is that when the volume of a fixed mass of gas is decreased, the pressure of the gas increases proportionally, so here assuming that the temperature is constant it is calculated.

Hence, the volume of the gas is slowly decreased by 15 [tex]cm^3[/tex] at a constant temperature, and the change in pressure of the gas is 150 kPa, which is option b.

A 1500 kg truck travelling north at 60 km/hr collides with a 1200 kg car moving east at 15km/hr. If the two cars remain locked together after impact, with what velocity do they move immediately after the collision.​

Answers

Answer:

33.33j+6.67i km/hr

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of momentum,

Applying,

mu+m'u' = V(m+m')............... Equation 1

Where m = mass of the truck, m' = mass of the car, u = initial velocity of the truck, u' = initial velocity of the car, V = Final velocity.

Note: let j represent the north, and i  represent the east

From the question,

Given: m = 1500 kg, u = 60j, m' = 1200 kg, u' = 15i

Substitute these values into equation 1

1500*60j+1200*15i = V(1500+1200)

90000j+18000i = 2700V

V = (90000j+18000i)/2700

V = 33.33j+6.67i km/hr

Answers

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy is energy an object possesses because of its position in a gravitational field. ... The gravitational potential energy is equal to its weight times the height to which it is lifted. PE = kg x 9.8 m/s2 x m = joules. The 9.8 us the gravitational acceleration constant.
