Answer: 2.94×10^8 J

Explanation:

Using the relation

T^2 = (4π^2/GMe) r^3

Where v= velocity

r = radius

T = period

Me = mass of earth= 6×10^24

G = gravitational constant= 6.67×10^-11

4π^2/GMe = 4π^2 / [(6.67x10^-11 x6.0x10^24)]

= 0.9865 x 10^-13

Therefore,

T^2 = (0.9865 × 10^-13) × r^3

r^3 = 1/(0.9865 × 10^-13) ×T^2

r^3 = (1.014 x 10^13) × T^2

To find r1 and r2

T1 = 120min = 120*60 = 7200s

T2 = 180min = 180*60= 10800s

Therefore,

r1 = [(1.014 x 10^13)7200^2]^(1/3) = 8.07 x 10^6 m

r2 = [(1.014 x 10^13)10800^2]^(1/3) = 10.57 x 10^6 m

Required Mechanical energy

= - GMem/2 [1/r2 - 1/r1]

= (6.67 x 10^-11 x 6.0 x 10^24 * 50)/2 * [(1/8.07 × 10^-6 )- (1/10.57 × 10^-6)]

= (2001 x 10^7)/2 * (0.1239 - 0.0945)

= (1000.5 × 10^7) × 0.0294

= 29.4147 × 10^7 J

= 2.94 x 10^8 J.

A spaceship is travelling at 20,000.0 m/s. After 5.0 seconds, the rocket thrusters are turned on. At the 55.0 second mark, the s
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

80 m/s^2

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object is given by:

a=\frac{v-u}{t}

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

t is the time interval it takes for the velocity to change from u to v

For the rocket in this problem,

u = 20,000 m/s

v = 24,000 m/s

t = 55.0 - 5.0 = 50.0 s

Substituting,

a=\frac{24000-20000}{50}=80 m/s^2

A 1.40 mH inductor and a 1.00 µF capacitor are connected in series. The current in the circuit is described by I = 14.0 t, where
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Inductance L = 1.4 x 10⁻³ H

Capacitance C = 1 x 10⁻⁶ F

a )

current I = 14 .0 t

dI / dt  = 14

voltage across inductor

= L dI / dt

= 1.4 x 10⁻³ x 14

= 19.6 x 10⁻³ V

= 19.6 mV

It does not depend upon time because it is constant at 19.6 mV.

b )

Voltage across capacitor

V = ∫ dq / C

= 1 / C ∫ I dt  

= 1 / C ∫ 14 t dt

1 / C x 14 t² / 2

= 7 t² / C

= 7 t² / 1 x 10⁻⁶

c ) Let after time t energy stored in capacitor becomes equal the energy stored in capacitance

energy stored in inductor

= 1/2 L I²

energy stored in capacitor

= 1/2 CV²

After time t

1/2 L I² = 1/2 CV²

L I² =  CV²

L x ( 14 t )² = C x  ( 7 t² / C )²

L x 196 t² = 49 t⁴ / C

t² = CL x 196 / 49

t = 74.8 μ s

After 74.8 μ s energy stored in capacitor exceeds that of inductor.

0.0884 moles of a diatomic gas
Sloan [31]

Answer:

W = - 118.24 J (negative sign shows that work is done on piston)

Explanation:

First, we find the change in internal energy of the diatomic gas by using the following formula:

\Delta\ U = nC_{v}\Delta\ T

where,

ΔU = Change in internal energy of gas = ?

n = no. of moles of gas = 0.0884 mole

Cv = Molar Specific Heat at constant volume = 5R/2 (for diatomic gases)

Cv = 5(8.314 J/mol.K)/2 = 20.785 J/mol.K

ΔT = Rise in Temperature = 18.8 K

Therefore,

\Delta\ U = (0.0884\ moles)(20.785\ J/mol.K)(18.8\ K)\\\Delta\ U = 34.54\ J

Now, we can apply First Law of Thermodynamics as follows:

\Delta\ Q = \Delta\ U + W

where,

ΔQ = Heat flow = - 83.7 J (negative sign due to outflow)

W = Work done = ?

Therefore,

-83.7\ J = 34.54\ J + W\\W = -83.7\ J - 34.54\ J\\

<u>W = - 118.24 J (negative sign shows that work is done on piston)</u>

Un objeto se mueve con una rapidez constante de 8 m/s. Esto significa que el objeto: a) Aumenta su rapidez en 8m/s cada segundo
Hatshy [7]

Explanation:

Constant speed means that the object is covering equal distance in equal interval of time. The motion is called uniform motion for such case. In this problem, it is given that an object is moving with a constant speed of 8 m/s. It means that it does not change its speed. It is moving with a single speed constantly.

We can say that it moves 8 meters every second or 800 cm every second.
