What is unit of pressure?why is it called a derived unit ? give reasons

olga55 [171]

pascal is the unit of pressure

The units of pressure is called derived units because it is simply derived from base unit which is distance and a derived unit which is force, which is derived from acceleration, a derived unit as well, and mass, a base unit. As we all know, work is defined as the force x distance. Thus making work a derived unit.Jun 23, 2020

The Earth's escape speed (the speed you need to get away forever) is about 40,000 kilometers per hour. Escape speed depends on t

Anvisha [2.4K]

The Moon s escape speed will be smaller than Earth's.

What is escape speed:

The minimum speed that is required for an object to free itself from the gravitational force exerted by a massive object.

The formula of escape speed is

$v = \sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R} }$

where

v is escape velocity

G is universal gravitational constant

M is mass of the body to be escaped from

r is distance from the center of the mass

we can say that,

Escape speed depends on the gravity of the object trying to hold the spacecraft from escaping.

we know that,

The Moon's surface gravity is about 1/6th as powerful or about 1.6 meters per second per second.

since, v ∝ g

The Moon s escape speed will be smaller than Earth's.

A 2150 kg satellite used in a cellular telephone network is in a circular orbit at a height of 780 km above the surface of the e

Tom [10]

Answer:

a) $F=16741.9N$

b) $\frac{F}{W}=0.795$

Explanation:

The gravitational force on the satellite is calculated with Newton's Gravitation Law:

$F=\frac{GMm}{r^2}$

Where $M=5.97\times10^{24}kg$ is Earth's mass, $m=2150kg$ is the satellite mass, $r=R+h$ is the distance between their centers, where $h=780000m$ is the height of the satellite (from Earth's surface) and $R=6371000m$ is Earth's radius, and $G=6.67\times10^{-11}Nm^2/kg^2$ is the gravitational constant.

a) With these values we then have:

$F=\frac{GMm}{r^2}=\frac{(6.67\times10^{-11}Nm^2/kg^2)(5.97\times10^{24}kg)(2150kg)}{(6371000m+780000m)^2}=16741.9N$

b) And the fraction this force is of the satellite’s weight <em>W=mg</em> is:

$\frac{F}{W}=\frac{GMm}{mgr^2}=\frac{GM}{gr^2}=\frac{(6.67\times10^{-11}Nm^2/kg^2)(5.97\times10^{24}kg)}{(9.8m/s^2)(6371000m+780000m)^2}=0.795$

Explain nuclear fusion briefly

nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

Nuclear fusion is the process in which two atomic nuclei are fused together into a larger single nucleus, releasing energy in the process. ... In proton-proton fusion, four hydrogen atoms are fused into a single helium-4 atom, releasing a lot of energy in the process.
