Answer:

<h3>The charge transferred from the cloud to earth is 1 Coulomb.</h3>

Explanation:

Given :

Current I = 2.5 \times 10^{4} A

Time t = 40 \times 10^{-6} sec

We know that the current is the rate of flow of charge.

From the formula of current,

<h3>  I = \frac{Q}{t}</h3>

Where Q = charge transfer between cloud and earth.

 Q =I t

Q = 2.5 \times 10^{4} \times 40 \times 10^{-6}

Q = 1 C

Hence, the charge transferred from the cloud to earth is 1 Coulomb.

Which celestial body would have the strongest gravitational pull on a satellite orbiting 100 km above its surface?
8090 [49]
According to the Law of Universal Gravitation, the gravitational force is directly proportional to the mass, and inversely proportional to the distance. In this problem, let's assume the celestial bodies to be restricted to the planets and the Sun. Since the distance is specified, the other factor would be the mass. Among all the celestial bodies, the Sun is the most massive. So, the Sun would cause the strongest gravitational pull to the satellite.

slavikrds [6]

Answer:

2.73414 seconds

467622.66798 J

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s² = a

v=60\times \dfrac{1609.34}{3600}=26.822\ m/s

mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\Rightarrow h=\dfrac{v^2}{2g}\\\Rightarrow h=\dfrac{26.822^2}{2\times 9.81}\\\Rightarrow h=36.66766\ m

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 36.66766=0t+\frac{1}{2}\times 9.81\times t^2\\\Rightarrow t=\sqrt{\frac{36.66766\times 2}{9.81}}\\\Rightarrow t=2.73414\ s

or

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{v-u}{a}\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{26.822-0}{9.81}\\\Rightarrow t=2.73414\ s

The time taken is 2.73414 seconds

The potential energy is given by

U=mgh\\\Rightarrow U=1300\times 9.81\times 36.66766\\\Rightarrow U=467622.66798\ J

The change in potential energy is 467622.66798 J

victus00 [196]

Answer:

Newton's third law of motion states that for every action, there is equal and opposite reaction.

While space walking, when the astronaut gets detached from the space ship, she floats in space holding a wrench. In order to get back to the spaceship, she should throw the wrench in the opposite direction of the spaceship. This action would  cause a reaction on her own body and she would be pushed away from the wrench and towards the spaceship. Thus, she can return back to the spaceship in this way.

  <span>I'll tell you how to do it but you must crunch the numbers. 

Use Kepler's 3rd Law 

T^2 = k R^3 

where k = 4(pi)^2/ GM 
G =gravitational constant = 6.67300 × 10-11 m3 kg-1 s-2 
M = mass of this new planet 
pi = 3.14159265 
T =3.09 days = 266976 seconds 
R = (579,000,000km)/9 = 64333333.3 km 

a) 
Solve Kepler's 3rd Law for M. Your answer will be in kg 


b) 
mass of the sun = 1.98892 × 10^30 kilograms
