A certain satellite has a kinetic energy of 7.5 billion joules at perigee (closest to Earth) and 6.5 billion joules at apogee (f

arthest from Earth). As the satellite travels from apogee to perigee, how much work does the gravitational force do on it?

8 0

Answer:

Work Done by the earth's gravitational force on the satellite as it travels from apogee to perigee is

W = F*D*Cos90° = 0

Explanation:

Although there is a change in the kinetic energy of the satellite at the apogee and perigee, the work done by the earth's gravitational force on the satellite is Zero.

W = F.D, F is the gravitational force, D is the displacement. Both F and D are vectors and perpendicular to each other. That is, the angle between F and D is 90°.

A sample of oxygen gas at 25.0°c has its pressure tripled while its volume is halved. What is the final temperature of the gas?
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

447 K

Explanation:

25 C = 25 + 273 = 298 K

Assuming ideal gas, we can apply the ideal gas law

\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1} = \frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}

T_2 = T_1\frac{P_2}{P_1}\frac{V_2}{V_1}

Since pressure is tripled, then P_2 / P_1 = 3. Volume is halved, then V_2 / V_1 = 0.5

T_2 = 298*3*0.5 = 447 K

How does radioactive decay work
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

Radioactive decay is the spontaneous breakdown of an atomic nucleus resulting in the release of energy and matter from the nucleus. Remember that a radioisotope has unstable nuclei that does not have enough binding energy to hold the nucleus together.
