A meteoroid is moving towards a planet. It has mass m = 0.78×109 kg and speed v1 = 4.1×107 m/s at distance R1 = 2.8×107 m from t

he center of the planet. The radius of the planet is R = 0.26×107 m. The mass of the planet is M = 4.4×1025 kg. There is no air around the planet. Calculate the value of PE1, in joules

Answer:

PE=81.755\, J

Explanation:

Given that:

  • mass of meteoroid, m=7.8\times 10^8 \,kg
  • radial distance from the center of the planet, R= 2.8\times 10^7 m
  • mass of the planet, M=4.4\times 10^{25}\, kg

<u>For gravitational potential energy we have:</u>

PE=G\frac{M.m}{R}

substituting the respective values:

PE=6.67\times 10^{-11}\times \frac{4.4\times 10^{25}\times 7.8\times 10^8}{2.8\times 10^7}

PE=81.755\, J

Which of the following criteria can help Linda classify gases as greenhouse gases? gas molecules having three or more atoms gas
ratelena [41]
I think the correct answer would be the third  option. The criteria that could help Linda in classifying whether the gases are greenhouse gases would be gas molecules having at least one oxygen atom. Most of the greenhouse gases has an oxygen atom in their structures especially those that naturally occurs. These gases are CO2, H2O vapor and nitrous oxide.

What is the difference between kinetic and gravitacional energy?
kondaur [170]

Answer:

In physics, the kinetic energy (KE) of an object is the energy that it possesses due to its motion

In classical mechanics, the gravitational potential at a location is equal to the work (energy transferred) per unit mass that would be needed to move an object to that location from a fixed reference location. It is analogous to the electric potential with mass playing the role of charge. The reference location, where the potential is zero, is by convention infinitely far away from any mass, resulting in a negative potential at any finite distance.

In mathematics, the gravitational potential is also known as the Newtonian potential and is fundamental in the study of potential theory. It may also be used for solving the electrostatic and magnetostatic fields generated by uniformly charged or polarized ellipsoidal bodies
