(a) The initial speed must the object be launched so that it reaches

the surface of Planet 2 with zero speed is √[2G{ M₁/ R₁ + M₂/(R₂ + L) - M₁/ (R₁ +L) - M₂/ R₂}]

(b) An inequality between M₁ and M₂ that represents when (a)

can occur is { M₁/ R₁ + M₂/(R₂ + L) - M₁/ (R₁ +L) - M₂/ R₂} ≥ 0

<h3>What is gravity?</h3>

The force of attraction felt by a person which is directed at the center of a planet or Earth is called as the gravity.

The force of attraction is directly proportional to the product of masses of the object and inversely proportional to the square of distance between them.

F = GMm/R²

Given, Planet 1 has mass M₁ and radius R₁. Planet 2 has mass M₂ and radius R₂. The two planets are a distance of L apart, measured from surface to surface. An object is launched with some initial speed from the surface of Planet 1 directly towards Planet 2. For this problem, assume that Planets1 and 2 are stationary.

If v is the launch velocity, then initial total energy will be

T.E = 1/2 mv² + ( -GM₁m/ R₁ - G M₂m/(R₂ + L)

The final total energy will be

T.E =0 + ( -GM₁m/ (R₁ +L) - G M₂m/ R₂)

From energy conservation principle, we get

1/2 mv² + ( -GM₁m/ R₁ - G M₂m/(R₂ + L) = ( -GM₁m/ (R₁ +L) - G M₂m/ R₂)

v = √[2G{ M₁/ R₁ + M₂/(R₂ + L) - M₁/ (R₁ +L) - M₂/ R₂}]

(b) an inequality between M₁ and M₂ so that object reaches the surface of Planet 2 with zero speed is

[2G{ M₁/ R₁ + M₂/(R₂ + L) - M₁/ (R₁ +L) - M₂/ R₂}] =0

{ M₁/ R₁ + M₂/(R₂ + L) - M₁/ (R₁ +L) - M₂/ R₂} ≥ 0

Thus, this is an inequality between M₁ and M₂.

{ M₁/ R₁ + M₂/(R₂ + L) - M₁/ (R₁ +L) - M₂/ R₂} ≥ 0

M₁(R+L) + M₂R - M₁R -M₂(R+L) / R (R+L) ≥ 0

M₁(R+L) + M₂R - M₁R -M₂(R+L) ≥ 0

M₁L - M₂L ≥ 0

M₁ ≥ M₂

M₁ must be greater than M₂.

Answer:

Technician B

Explanation:

here on analyzing both the statements from technician A and technician B. The Statement from Technician B is more logical and correct. That the power-assisted brake system reduces the force that the driver must exert on the brake pedal.

The power-assisted brake system does not reduce the distance of stopping. What it does is it reduces the force to be applied by the driver. Thus, making the drive more comfortable.

Using what you know about air pressure and the water cycle, explain how hurricanes form. Why are there certain places on Earth m

Yuki888 [10]

Hurricanes form when hot air and cold air start colliding above water and they start to form a tornado but there is water in the tornado. Certain places on earth are more susceptible to hurricanes because they are closer to the coastlines. For example, in Iowa, and Illinois, they have a lower chance of a hurricane, while Florida, and Washington have a higher rate because they are along the ocean. Hope this helps.

nydimaria [60]

Electrical current will flow through a solid by the means of electrons. The electrons in the solid must be able to move from lower to higher electrical potential. The electric current in certain solid electrolytes like ice is entirely composed of flowing ions.

Answer: The correct statements are:

The atoms are very attracted to one another.
The atoms are held tightly together.

Explanation:

Solid state: In this state, the molecules are closely packed and cannot move freely from one place to another that means no space between them and the intermolecular force of attraction between the molecules are strong.

In solid substance, the particles are very close to each other due to this the intermolecular forces of attraction are strongest.

The key point about solid are:

The atoms are very attracted to one another.
The atoms are not moving freely.
It will not spread out evenly to fill any container.
The atoms are held tightly together.
The forces of attraction are strong to bring molecules together.
The atoms are close and in fixed positions.

Alex73 [517]

Universe contains billions and billions of stars, galaxies, planets, asteroids, comets and many more different type of bodies. These objects emit radiations of varied frequency. In order to study these different kind of objects, different kind of technology is required. There are different type of missions: some contain probes which land on the surface, some orbit the bodies etc. These are for solar system. Yet some are space observatories having detectors to study light from distant objects. Further, there are different detectors for different wavelengths of electromagnetic spectrum.
