One of your summer lunar space camp activities is to launch a 1090 kg rocket from the surface of the Moon. You are a serious spa

ce camper and you launch a serious rocket: it reaches an altitude of 211 km . What gain Δ???? in gravitational potential energy does the launch accomplish? The mass and radius of the Moon are 7.36×1022 kg and 1740 km, respectively.

Answer:

ΔP.E = 6.48 x 10⁸ J

Explanation:

First we need to calculate the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of moon:

g = GM/R²

where,

g = acceleration due to gravity on the surface of moon = ?

G = Universal Gravitational Constant = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N.m²/kg²

M = Mass of moon = 7.36 x 10²² kg

R = Radius of Moon = 1740 km = 1.74 x 10⁶ m

Therefore,

g = (6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N.m²/kg²)(7.36 x 10²² kg)/(1.74 x 10⁶ m)²

g = 2.82 m/s²

now the change in gravitational potential energy of rocket is calculated by:

ΔP.E = mgΔh

where,

ΔP.E = Change in Gravitational Potential Energy = ?

m = mass of rocket = 1090 kg

Δh = altitude = 211 km = 2.11 x 10⁵ m

Therefore,

ΔP.E = (1090 kg)(2.82 m/s²)(2.11 x 10⁵ m)

<u>ΔP.E = 6.48 x 10⁸ J</u>

Answer:

<h3>B. 19miles</h3>

Explanation:

If Freddy drives 4 miles east to his friend's house. He then travels 9 more miles east to the supermarket. Finally on his way back home he out  of gas 6 miles after leaving the supermarket, the distance travel by fred will be the sup of all the distances he covered throughout the journey.

Distance covered by fred = 4miles + 9miles + 6miles

Distance covered by fred = 13miles + 6miles

Distance covered by fred  = 19miles

What are the products of a fusion reaction? Check all that apply.
Free_Kalibri [48]

Energy, heavier atoms atoms, neutron and a proton are the products of a fusion reaction.

<h3>What are the products of a fusion reaction?</h3>

Nuclear fusion is a type of reaction in which two or more atomic nuclei fuse or combine to form heavy nuclei and subatomic particles such as neutrons or protons and release of energy.

So we can conclude that Energy, heavier atoms, neutron and a proton are the products of a fusion reaction.

How to find the magnitude and direction of a resultant velocity?
mixas84 [53]
Find the horizontal components vcos30 ...one goes right and one goes left so they cancel each other.
Find vertical components vsin30.....there are two of them.... so 2vcos30....hey presto... resultant velocity = 2vCos30
