You are exploring a distant planet. When your spaceship is in a circular orbit at a distance of 630 km above the planet's surfac

e, the ship's orbital speed is 5500 m/s . By observing the planet, you determine its radius to be 4.48×106 m. You then land on the surface and, at a place where the ground is level, launch a small projectile with initial speed 14.6 m/s at an angle of 30.8∘ above the horizontal.If resistance due to the planet's atmosphere is negligible, what is the horizontal range of the projectile?

Answer:

R = 24.3 m

Explanation:

As we know that the orbital speed is given as

v = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{R + h}}

here we know that

v = 5500 m/s

R = 4.48 \times 10^6 m

h = 630 km

now we have

5500 = \sqrt{\frac{(6.6 \times 10^{-11})M}{4.48 \times 10^6 + 6.30\times 10^5}}

M = 2.34 \times 10^24 kg

now acceleration due to gravity of planet is given as

a = \frac{GM}{R^2}

a = \frac{(6.6 \times 10^{-11})(2.34 \times 10^{24})}{(4.48\times 10^6)^2}

a = 7.7 m/s^2

now range of the projectile on the surface of planet is given as

R = \frac{v^2 sin2\theta}{g}

R = \frac{14.6^2 sin(2\times 30.8)}{7.7}

R = 24.3 m

When two oppositely charged electrodes are immersed in a solution, positively charged ions are attracted to the negative electro
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

conductivity of solution is reduced.

Explanation:

When two oppositely charged electrodes are immersed in a solution, positively charged ions are attracted to the negative electrode and gain electrons. The negatively charged ions are attracted to the positive electrode and release electrons.

Due to the process mentioned above , the negatively charged ions are accumulated at the positive electrode and the positively charged ions are accumulated at the negative electrode . This accumulation prevents further attraction of ions at oppositely charged electrodes because the incoming ions face repulsion from already accumulated ions at electrodes.  Further , it creates an emf acting in opposite direction . It reduces the current through the solution. Hence conductivity of solution is reduced.

What is difference between non uniform and uniform circular motion?
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

The object in a uniform motion covers same distances in an equal time period. Objects in a non-uniform motion cover dissimilar distances in an equal time period.

Explanation:

The speed of the object traveling in uniform motion is constant, the actual speed and the average speed of the moving body is same.

A woman can row her canoe at 2.5 m/s. If she faces an opposing current of 3.0 m/s, how fast will she go forward?
taurus [48]

Answer:

V = - 0.5 [m/s]

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we must use the principle of relative speeds. This is for an observer who is on the edge of the river he can see how the river moves to the left and the woman tries to move to the right but can not since:

V_{total}=-3+2.5\\V_{total}=-0.5 [m/s]

That is, the person sees how the woman moves to the left but with avelocity of 0.5 [m/s] to the left

What is a wave? Use the terms wavelength and frequency in your definition.
adelina 88 [10]

Explanation:

A wave is a disturbance in a medium. For example, when some pebbles are thrown in water, the water particles gets disturbed. A wave is characterized by the following parameters i.e.

Frequency

Wavelength etc

The number of oscillations or vibrations in a medium is called the frequency of a wave.

Also, the distance between two consecutive crests and troughs is called the wavelength of a wave. The relationship between the wavelength and the frequency of a wave is given by :

Speed of wave = frequency × wavelength
