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

Astronomers can now report that active star formation was going on at a time when the universe was only 20% as old as it is toda
disa [49]

Answer:

First, as you may know, the light travels at a given velocity.

In vaccum, this velocity is c = 3x10^8 m/s.

And we know that:

distance = velocity*time

Now, if some object (like a star ) is really far away, the light that comes from that star may take years to reach the Earth.

This means that the images that the astronomers see today, actually happened years and years ago (So the night sky is like a picture of the "past" of the universe)

Also, for example, if an astronomer sees some particular thing, he can apply a model (a "simplification" of some phenomena that is used to simplify it an explain it) and with the model, the scientist can infer the information of the given thing some time before it was seen.

A proton and an electron are moving in the +x direction in a magnetic field in the +z
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Force on a moving charge is given by the following relation

F = q ( v x B )

for proton

q = e  ,   v = vi  , B = Bk

F = e ( vi x Bk )

= Bev - j

= - Bevj

The direction of force is along negative of y axis or -y - axis.

for electron

q = - e  ,   v = vi  , B = Bk

F = - e ( vi x Bk )

= - Bev - j

=  Bevj

The direction of force is along positive  of y axis or + y - axis.

Select all that apply to electrons and energy levels. - Scientists have not yet determined exactly why electrons do not collapse
Elenna [48]

Answer:

- The limitation of the maximum number of electrons in a given energy level can be used to account for the periodic recurrence of properties as the number of electrons increases.

Explanation:

First - Scientists have not yet determined exactly why electrons do not collapse into the nucleus. FALSE: Scientists do know why electrons do not collapse. Since the beginins of quantum mechanics it's known that the energy at small scales is quantized, that means there only can be certain values meaning that the energy do not change continously. In the case of the electron, it can only have certain levels of energy, that means they do not radiate continously as the go arround the atom, instead it is only allowed to have a certain amount of energy in a given state therefore it can not lose energy continously collapsing into the nucleus.

Second - Electrons cannot be located between levels except when they are in the process of moving. FALSE: We can not say that a electron moves between energy levels, it only can exist in any of the levels, but never in between. Also, the electron in any of its possible energy lavels can not be located with complete certainty due to the uncertainty principle.

Fourth - Electrons have any random energy. FALSE:  as exposed above the electrons can only have certain cuantized energy levels acordinly to the rules of quantum physics

Fifth - Electrons can be found between energy levels. FALSE: Like said before we can not say that a electron exists between energy levels, it only can exist in any of the allowed levels, but never in between.

Thirth (correct one) :  - The limitation of the maximum number of electrons in a given energy level can be used to account for the periodic recurrence of properties as the number of electrons increases. TRUE: the maximum number of electrons allowed in a given energy level directly determines the tipe of bond an atom can made with another (this due to the number of electrons in the higest energy level), so for example the elements in the left of a given row of the periodic table tend to have ionic bonds, but in the other hand the elements on right side tend form more covalent bonds. And this characteristic directly correllate with diferent properties of the elements.

Para cargar un camión, se suele utilizar una tabla entre el contenedor y el suelo, con el fin de subir la carga, ya sea desplaza
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

A. No

B. si

Explanation:

A. El trabajo realizado en la carga es la energía potencial ganada por la carga al elevar la carga al nivel del camión y colocar la carga dentro del camión.

El trabajo realizado para elevar la carga W = m × g × h

Dónde;

m = masa de la carga

g = aceleración debido a la gravedad

h = Nivel de altura donde se coloca la carga en el camión

Por lo tanto, el trabajo realizado depende de la masa, m, de la carga y el nivel de altura, h, donde la carga se coloca en el camión y el trabajo realizado es el mismo para todos los métodos utilizados para colocar la carga en el camión

B. La ecuación para el trabajo realizado, W, también se puede escribir de la siguiente manera;

W = Fuerza, F × Distancia, D

De lo que tenemos;

F = W/D

Por lo tanto, cuando la mesa aumenta la distancia, como una rampa o un plano inclinado, la fuerza requerida disminuirá.
