Answer: Because the force of gravity depends on the size of the planet, so a smaller planet will have less gravitational force than a larger planet. So our gravitational force is not as strong as a bigger planet so we can still stand up and jump normally but on a smaller planet we could jump higher and on a bigger planet, we could not even be able to jump at all.

A carpenter is driving a 15.0-g steel nail into a board. His 1.00-kg hammer is moving at 8.50 m/s when it strikes the nail. Half

bekas [8.4K]

Answer: The increase in temperature of the nail after the three blows is 8.0636 Kelvins. The correct option is (d).

Explanation:

Kinetic energy of the hammer ,K.E.=

$\frac{1}{2}mv^2=\frac{1}{2}1.00 kg\times (8.50 m/s)^2=36.125 J$

Half of the kinetic energy of the hammer is transformed into heat in the nail.

Energy transferred to the nail in one blow =

$\frac{1}{2}K.E.=\frac{1}{2}\times 36.125 J=18.0625 J$

Total energy transferred after 3 blows,Q = $3\times 18.0625 J=54.1875 J$

Mass of the nail = 15 g = 0.015 kg

Change in temperature = $\Delta T$

Specif heat of the steel = c = 448 J/kg K

$Q=mc\Delta T$

$54.1875 J=0.015 kg\times 448 J/kg K\times \Delta T$

$\Delta T=8.0636 K\approx 8.1 K$

The increase in temperature of the nail after the three blows is 8.1 Kelvins.Hence, correct option is (d).

Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

radius of electron $(r)=5.3\times 10^{-11} m$

centripetal acceleration $(a_c)=9\times 10^22 m/s^2$

we know

$a_c=\frac{v^2}{r}$

$v=\sqrt{r\times a_c}$

$v=\sqrt{5.3\times 10^{-11}\times 9\times 10^{22}}$

$v=\sqrt{47.7\times 10^11}$

$v=21.84\times 10^5 m/s$

(b)For n=10

$r=100\times 5.3\times 10^{-11} m\approx 5.3\times 10^{-9} m$

$a_c=10^4\times 9\times 10^{22} m/s^2$

$a_c=9\times 10^{26} m/s^2$

$v=\sqrt{r\times a_c}$

$v=\sqrt{9\times 10^{26}\times 5.3\times 10^{-9}}$

$v=21.84\times 10^8 m/s$

Which statement is true about a planet’s orbital motion?

lana66690 [7]

Answer:

Orbital motion results when the object’s forward motion is balanced by a second object’s gravitational pull.

Explanation:

The gravitational force is responsible for the orbital motion of the planet, satellite, artificial satellite, and other heavenly bodies in outer space.

When an object is applied with a velocity that is equal to the velocity of the orbit at that location, the body continues to move forward. And, this motion is balanced by the gravitational pull of the second object.

The orbiting body experience a centripetal force that is equal to the gravitational force of the second object towards the body.

The velocity of the orbit is given by the relation,

$V = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{R + h} }$

Where

V - velocity of the orbit at a height h from the surface

R - Radius of the second object

G - Gravitational constant

h - height from the surface

The body will be in orbital motion when its kinetic motion is balanced by gravitational force.

$1/2 mV^{2} = GMm/R$

Hence, the orbital motion results when the object’s forward motion is balanced by a second object’s gravitational pull.
