Answer:

2014.44 N

Explanation:

mass of spacecraft, m = 1850 kg

distance r = 3 x R

where r be the radius of earth.

g be the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of earth and g' be the acceleration due to gravity at height

\frac{g'}{g}=\left (\frac{R}{r}  \right )^{2}

\frac{g'}{g}=\left (\frac{R}{3R}  \right )^{2}

g' = g / 9

g' = 9.8 / 9 = 1.089 m/s²

Force of gravity on the space craft

F = m g' = 1850 x 1.089

F = 2014.44 N

Thus, the force of gravity on the space craft at height is 2014.44 N.

If you add a battery to a series circuit what will happen to the current in the circuit
Evgen [1.6K]

If there wasn't any battery before, then there was no current
in the circuit before, and there IS one now.  That's just about
the greatest change possible.

If there WAS a battery there before and you added another one
in series with it, then there are a few different possibilities for the
effect on the current in the circuit:

-- If the new battery has the same voltage as the original one,
AND you connect the new one so that they're both in the same
direction, then the current in the circuit will become double the
original current (twice as much as it was before).

-- If the new battery has the same voltage as the original one, AND
you connect the new one so that they're in opposite directions, then
the two batteries cancel each other, the total voltage becomes zero,
and the current in the circuit completely disappears.

-- If the voltage of the two batteries is different AND you connect
the new one so that they're both in the same direction, then the
current in the circuit increases, by a factor of

         (sum of the two battery voltages)
divided by
         (voltage of the original battery alone).

-- If the voltage of the two batteries is different AND you
connect the new one so that they're in opposite directions,
then the current in the circuit decreases, by a factor of

           (difference of the two battery voltages)
divided by
            (voltage of the original battery alone)

and the current flows in the direction of whichever battery has
the greater voltage.  If the new battery has greater voltage than
the original one alone, then the current reverses, and flows in
the opposite direction.

I think that covers all the possibilities.

Block 1, of mass m₁ = 1.30 kg , moves along a frictionless air track with speed v₁ = 29.0 m/s. It collides with block 2, of mass
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

a. 37.7 kgm/s b. 0.94 m/s c. -528.85 J

Explanation:

a. The initial momentum of block 1 of m₁ = 1.30 kg with speed v₁ = 29.0 m/s is p₁ = m₁v₁ = 1.30 kg × 29.0 m/s = 37.7 kgm/s

The initial momentum of block 2 of m₁ = 39.0 kg with speed v₂ = 0 m/s since it is initially at rest is p₁ = m₁v₁ = 39.0 kg × 0 m/s = 0 kgm/s

So, the magnitude of the total initial momentum of the two-block system = (37.7 + 0) kgm/s = 37.7 kgm/s

b. Since the blocks stick together after the collision, their final momentum is p₂ = (m₁ + m₂)v where v is the final speed of the two-block system.

p₂ = (1.3 + 39.0)v = 40.3v

From the principle of conservation of momentum,

p₁ = p₂

37.7 kgm/s = 40.3v

v = 37.7/40.3 = 0.94 m/s

So the final velocity of the two-block system is 0.94 m/s

c. The change in kinetic energy of the two-block system is ΔK = K₂ - K₁ where K₂ = final kinetic energy of the two-block system = 1/2(m₁ + m₂)v² and K₁ = final kinetic energy of the two-block system = 1/2m₁v₁²

So, ΔK = K₂ - K₁ = 1/2(m₁ + m₂)v² - 1/2m₁v₁² = 1/2(1.3 + 39.0) × 0.94² - 1/2 × 1.3 × 29.0² = 17.805 J - 546.65 J = -528.845 J ≅ -528.85 J

An oscillator creates periodic waves on a stretched string.
sattari [20]

Answer:

A. The wavelength doubles but the wave speed is unchanged

Explanation:

The relationship between the period and wavelength is direct. Doubling the period of the oscillator will correspondingly double the wavelength but the wave speed is unaffected

A runner generates 1260 W of thermal energy. If this heat has to be removed only by evaporation, how much water does this runner
sergey [27]

Answer:0.502kg

Explanation:

F4om the relation

Power x time = mass x latent heat of vapourization

P.t=ML

1260 * 15 *60 = M * 22.6 * 10^5

M= 1134000/(22.6 *10^5)

M=0.502kg=502g
