Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

The speed of the object just before it hits Earth is  \sqrt{\dfrac{GM}{R}}

(A) is correct option.

Explanation:

Given that,

M = mass of earth

R = radius of earth

The potential energy at height above the surface of the earth

P.E=-\dfrac{GmM}{R+h}

The kinetic energy at height above the surface of the earth

K.E = 0

The total energy at height above the surface of the earth

E = K.E+P.E

E = -\dfrac{GmM}{R+h}....(I)

The total energy at the surface of the earth

E'=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2-\dfrac{GmM}{R}....(II)

We need to calculate the speed of the object  just before it hits Earth

From equation (I) and (II)

-\dfrac{GmM}{R+h}=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2-\dfrac{GmM}{R}

Here, h = R

-\dfrac{GmM}{2R}=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2-\dfrac{GmM}{R}

v= \sqrt{\dfrac{GM}{R}}

Hence, The speed of the object just before it hits Earth is  \sqrt{\dfrac{GM}{R}}.

Sort the types of energy according to the order in which they move through this system: Water stored in dams falls freely with t
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

1) gravitational energy

2) kinetic energy

3) electrical energy

4) light energy

Explanation:

The gravitational energy is that which depends on the height associated with the gravitational force, that is, at the height from which the water falls.

Kinetic energy is that generated by movement. the movement of water provides energy for the turbine to move

Electrical energy is that which results in the existence of a potential difference between two points, which allows an electric current to be generated.

Light energy is the perceived fraction of the energy transported by light and manifested on matter in different ways. It behaves and moves like a wave.

A flat slab of material (nm = 2.2) is d = 0.45 m thick. A beam of light in air (na = 1) is incident on the material with an angl
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

Explanation:

Formula of lateral displacement

S_{lateral}=\frac{t}{cosr} \times sin(i-r)

t is thickness of slab , i  and r are angle of incidence and refraction respectively .

Given t = .45 m

sin i / sin r = 2.2

sin 46 / sin r = 2.2

sin r = .719 / 2.2 = .327

r = 19°

S_{lateral}=\frac{t}{cosr} \times sin(i-r)

S_{lateral}=\frac{.45}{cos19} \times sin(46-19)

= .45 x .454 / .9455

= .216 m

= 21.6 cm .
