P.E = mgh where

m = mass in kilograms

g = acceleration due to gravity ≈ 9.8m/s^2

h = height in meters

P.E = 10 x 9.8 x 5

P.E = 490 J

To develop this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Gravitational Potential Energy.

Gravitational potential energy can be defined as

$PE = -\frac{GMm}{R}$

As M=m, then

$PE = -\frac{Gm^2}{R}$

Where,

m = Mass

G =Gravitational Universal Constant

R = Distance /Radius

PART A) As half its initial value is u'=2u, then

$U = -\frac{2Gm^2}{R}$

$dU = -\frac{2Gm^2}{R}$

$dKE = -dU$

Therefore replacing we have that,

$\frac{1}{2}mv^2 =\frac{Gm^2}{2R}$

Re-arrange to find v,

$v= \sqrt{\frac{Gm}{R}}$

$v = \sqrt{\frac{6.67*10^{-11}*1*10^{28}}{1*10^{12}}}$

$v = 816.7m/s$

Therefore the velocity when the separation has decreased to one-half its initial value is 816m/s

PART B) With a final separation distance of 2r, we have that

$2r = 2*10^3m$

Therefore

$dU = Gm^2(\frac{1}{R}-\frac{1}{2r})$

$v = \sqrt{Gm(\frac{1}{2r}-\frac{1}{R})}$

$v = \sqrt{6.67*10^{-11}*10^{28}(\frac{1}{2*10^3}-\frac{1}{10^{12}})}$

$v = 1.83*10^7m/s$

Therefore the velocity when they are about to collide is $1.83*10^7m/s$

When making maps of the large-scale universe, astronomers estimate distances to the vast majority of galaxies by using:

Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

<em>The comoving distance and the proper distance scale</em>

Explanation:

The comoving distance scale removes the effects of the expansion of the universe, which leaves us with a distance that does not change in time due to the expansion of space (since space is constantly expanding). The comoving distance and proper distance are defined to be equal at the present time; therefore, the ratio of proper distance to comoving distance now is 1. The scale factor is sometimes not equal to 1. The distance between masses in the universe may change due to other, local factors like the motion of a galaxy within a cluster. Finally, we note that the expansion of the Universe results in the proper distance changing, but the comoving distance is unchanged by an expanding universe.

Early black-and-white television sets used an electron beam to draw a picture on the screen. The electrons in the beam were acce

oee [108]

Answer:

3.25 × 10^7 m/s

Explanation:

Assuming the electrons start from rest, their final kinetic energy is equal to the electric potential energy lost while moving through the potential difference (ΔV)

Ek = 1/2 mv2 = qΔV .................. 1

Given that V is the electron speed in m/s

Charge of electron = 1.60217662 × 10-19 coulombs

Mass of electron = 9.109×10−31 kilograms

ΔV = 3.0kV = 3000V

Make V the subject of the formula in eqaution 1

V = sqr root 2qΔV/m

V = 2 × 1.60217662 × 10-19 × 3000 / 9.109×10−31

V = 3.25 × 10^7 m/s
