We Know,

K.E. = 1/2 mv²

480 = 1/2 (m)(8)²

m = 960/64

m = 15 Kg

So, the mass of the object is 15 Kg

Hello!

An object has a velocity of 8 m/s and a kinetic energy of 480 J. What is the mass of the object?

We have the following data:

KE (Kinetic Energy) = 480 J

m (mass) = ? (in Kg)

v (speed) = 8 m/s

Formula to calculate kinetic energy:

$KE = \dfrac{1}{2} *m*v^2$

Solving:

$KE = \dfrac{1}{2} *m*v^2$

$480 = \dfrac{1}{2} *m*8^2$

$480 = \dfrac{1}{2} *m*64$

$480*2 = 64*m$

$960 = 64m$

$64m = 960$

$m = \dfrac{960}{64}$

$\boxed{\boxed{m = 15\:Kg}}\end{array}}\qquad\checkmark$

Answer:

15 kg

Two planets A and B, where B has twice the mass of A, orbit the Sun in elliptical orbits. The semi-major axis of the elliptical

lozanna [386]

Answer:

2.83

Explanation:

Kepler's discovered that the square of the orbital period of a planet is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit, that is called Kepler's third law of planet motion and can be expressed as:

$T=\frac{2\pi a^{\frac{3}{2}}}{\sqrt{GM}}$ (1)

with T the orbital period, M the mass of the sun, G the Cavendish constant and a the semi major axis of the elliptical orbit of the planet. By (1) we can see that orbital period is independent of the mass of the planet and depends of the semi major axis, rearranging (1):

$\frac{T}{a^{\frac{3}{2}}}=\frac{2\pi}{\sqrt{GM}}$

$\frac{T^{2}}{a^{3}}=(\frac{2\pi }{\sqrt{GM}})^2$ (2)

Because in the right side of the equation (2) we have only constant quantities, that implies the ratio $\frac{T^{2}}{a^{3}}$ is constant for all the planets orbiting the same sun, so we can said that:

$\frac{T_{A}^{2}}{a_{A}^{3}}=\frac{T_{B}^{2}}{a_{B}^{3}}$

$\frac{T_{B}^{2}}{T_{A}^{2}}=\frac{a_{B}^{3}}{a_{A}^{3}}$

$\frac{T_{B}}{T_{A}}=\sqrt{\frac{a_{B}^{3}}{a_{A}^{3}}}=\sqrt{\frac{(2a_{A})^{3}}{a_{A}^{3}}}$

$\frac{T_{B}}{T_{A}}=\sqrt{\frac{2^3}{1}}=2.83$

Distinguish between contact force and non-contact forces give three examples of each

Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

1. the force which can be felt or act only when two objects are in contact is known as contact force.

for example: frictional force, muscular force,

tension, air resistance .

2. the force which can be felt or act even when two objects are in contact or not is known as non-contact force.

for example: magnetic force, gravitational force, electrostatic force.
