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>

Current flowing in a circuit depends on two variables. Identify these variables and their relationship to current.
joja [24]

Question is Incomplete, Complete question is given below.

Current flowing in a circuit depends on two variables. Identify these variables and their relationship to current.

A) Current is proportionate to the conductance of the circuit and precisely proportional to the voltage applied across the circuit.

B) Current is conversely proportional to the electrical tension of the circuit and corresponds to the resistance across the circuit.

C) Current is inversely proportional to the resistance of the circuit and directly proportional to the voltage applied across the circuit.

D) Current is commensurate to the resistance of the circuit and directly proportional to the electric pressure applied across the circuit.

Answer:

C) Current is inversely proportional to the resistance of the circuit and directly proportional to the voltage applied across the circuit.

Explanation:

Now Ohms Law states that, "So long as a physical state of a conductor remains the potential difference applied to the conductor is directly proportional to current flowing through it."

I ∝ V

V=IR also I=V/R

where R is the Resistance

Hence, From above equation we can say that Current increases when there is increase in Voltage but Current decreases as the resistance decreases.

Hence,Current is inversely proportional to the resistance of the circuit and directly proportional to the voltage applied across the circuit.

A single point charge q is located at the center of both an imaginary cube and an imaginary sphere. How does the electric flux t
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Electric flux is defined as the flow of electric field intensity through a given surface.

Mathematically:

\phi=E.A.cos\ \theta

where:

E = electric field

A = area

θ = angle between the area vector and the electric field

Electric flux through the surface of a sphere will be uniform throughout the surface area due to a charge at the center of the sphere. The distance of the surface from the center is always at a constant distance of radius of the sphere.

Electric flux through the surface of a cube will be varying as the surface area is at a varying distance from the center of the cube. The distance of the surface from the center is not at a uniform distance from the center of the cube and so the projection of solid angle changes.
