(a) What is the escape speed on a spherical asteroid whose radius is 545 km and whose gravitational acceleration at the surface

is 2.9 m/s2?
Physics

Answer:

1.78 km/s

Explanation:

radius, R = 545 km = 545000 m

acceleration due to gravity, g = 2.9 m/s²

The formula for the escape velocity is given by

v=\sqrt{2gR}

v=\sqrt{2\times 545000\times 2.9}

v = 1777.92 m/s

v = 1.78 km/s

Thus, the escape velocity on the surface of asteroid is 1.78 km/s.

Answer:

1777.92 m/s

Explanation:

R = Radius of asteroid = 545 km

M = Mass of planet

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 2.9 m/s²

G = Gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²

Acceleration due to gravity is given by

g=\dfrac{GM}{R^2}\\\Rightarrow M=\dfrac{gR^2}{G}

The expression of escape velocity is given by

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2GM}{R}}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2G}{R}\dfrac{gR^2}{G}}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2gR}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\times 2.9\times 545000}\\\Rightarrow v=1777.92\ m/s

The escape speed is 1777.92 m/s

A temperature measuring device should be placed in the __________ area of the refrigerated holding unit.
STatiana [176]
<span>A temperature measuring device should be placed in the "warmest" area of the refrigerated holding unit. The reason for this is because all foods must be stored in the minimum temperature required. If not stored properly the foods become hazardous. It is important to place the thermometer in the accurate location in reference to this question it is in the warmest location. The reasoning behind this is that if placed in the coldest location it may not represent an accurate temperature based on the entire unit.</span>

What causes the temperature to increase with height through the stratosphere
miss Akunina [59]

Answer: The temperature increases on the stratosphere with the altitude, given that absorption of the ultraviolet rays by the ozone.

Explanation: On the stratosphere, the water vapor and the umidity are almost nonexistents and, in view of the absorption of ultraviolet rays by the ozon, the temperature increases, reaching 35,6º Fahrenheit.  

The ozone is a unusual type of oxygen molecule. In the stratosphere, the ozone appears on a large scale and warms it up by the absorption of the ultraviolet rays energy.

A 10.0 V battery is connected across two resistors in series. One resistor has resistance of 840.0 Ω and the other has resistanc
REY [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

There are a couple of ways you could do this.

The easiest is to use E*R1/(R1 + R2)

  • E = 10 volts
  • R1 = 590 ohms
  • R2 = 840 ohms

So the result would be

E_590 = 10 * 590/(590 + 840)

E_590 = 10 * 590/ (1430)

E_590 = 4.13 volts rounded.

You could do this a slightly longer way.

R = 1430 (total ohms in series.

E = 10 volts

I = ???

I = E/R

I = 10 / 1430

I = 0.00699

Now use this current to figure out the voltage drop.

E = I * R

I = 0.00699 amps

R = 590 ohms

E = 0.00699 * 590

E = 4.13 volts

Pick the way of doing it you like best.
