The options of the question are missing. I have attached it.

Answer:

Satellite in option B will have the greatest speed.

Explanation:

From kepplers third law, we know that

V² = GM/R

Thus, v = √(GM/R)

Where;

v is velocity

G is gravitational constant

M is mass

R is radius

Looking at the options, let's start from the first one;

Option A

Here, mass = (1/2)m and radius = R

So, v = √(GM/R) thus v = √(G(m/2)/R) = √(Gm/2R)

Option B

Here, mass = m and radius = (1/2)R

Thus v = √(Gm/(R/2)) = √(2Gm/R)

Option C

Here, mass = m and radius = R

Thus v = √(Gm/R)

Option D

Here, mass = m and radius = 2R

Thus v = √(Gm/(2R))

Now, inspecting all the options, it's clear that option B will have the greatest velocity because it's numerator is the biggest and will in turn lead to higher velocity.

What's the pressure on solids
Studentka2010 [4]
<span>As in all the solids, their atoms are arrange in certain intermolecular distances. When the pressure in the solid, it changes this intermolecular distances which causes selectively changes all those effects which are associated with the interactions between molecules. Pressure changes the phonon frequencies, changes in phonon line shape in the solid. This is also responsible for change in melting and boiling points. The pressure may also cause for phase transition in many solids.</span>

Two blocks of masses mA and mB are connected by a massless spring. The blocks are moved apart, stretching the spring, and subseq
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

Part a)

\frac{v_A}{v_B} = -\frac{m_B}{m_A}

Part b)

\frac{K_A}{K_B} = \frac{m_B}{m_A}

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that initially the two blocks are connected by a spring and initially stretched by some amount

Since the two blocks are at rest initially so its initial momentum is zero

since there is no external force on this system so final momentum is also zero

m_Av_{1i} + m_Bv_{2i} = m_Av_A + m_Bv_B

now for initial position the speed is zero

0 = m_Av_A + m_Bv_B

now we have

\frac{v_A}{v_B} = -\frac{m_B}{m_A}

Part b)

now for ratio of kinetic energy we know that the relation between kinetic energy and momentum is given as

K = \frac{P^2}{2m}

now for the ratio of energy we have

\frac{K_A}{K_B} = \frac{P^2/2m_A}{P^2/2m_B}

since we know that momentum of two blocks are equal in magnitude so we have

now we have

\frac{K_A}{K_B} = \frac{m_B}{m_A}

A 92-kg fullback moving south with a speed of 5.8 m/s is tackled by a 110-kg lineman running west with a speed of 3.6 m/s. Assum
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

The speed and direction of the two players immediately after the tackle are 3.3 m/s and 53.4° South of West

Explanation:

given information:

mass of fullback, m_{x} = 92 kg

speed of full back, v_{x} = 5.8 to south

mass of lineman, m_{y} =110 kg

speed of lineman, v_{y} = 3.6

according to conservation energy,

assume that the collision is perfectly inelastic, thus

initial momentum = final momentum

                            P_{ix} = P_{x}'

                          m₁v₁ = (m₁+m₂)v_{x}'

                             v_{x}' = m₁v₁/(m₁+m₂)

                                  = (92) (5.8)/(92+110)

                                  = 2.64 m/s

                            P_{iy} = P_{y}'

                         m₂v₂ = (m₁+m₂)v_{y}'

                             v_{y}' = m₁v₁/(m₁+m₂)

                                  = (110) (3.6)/(92+110)

                                  = 1.96 m/s

thus,

v' = √v_{x}'²+v_{y}'²

  = 3.3 m/s

then, the direction of the two players is

θ = 90 - tan⁻¹(v_{y}'/v_{x}')

  = 90 - tan⁻¹(1.96/2.64)

  = 53.4° South of West

What is table salt (NaCl) formed by?
Rzqust [24]
NaCl is a compound formed by a chemical reaction between Na (Sodium) and Cl (Chlorine). Sodium is an alkai metal in Group One of the Periodic Table, and it is very reactive. All alkai metals react violently with water and they are often found combined in nature because they are that reactive. Chlorine is a halogen in Group 17 of the Periodic Table and they are very reactive.
