KE = 1/2 * m * v2

We have to rearrange this so the subject is mass. (because the question asks for the mass of the object) :

Mass = (2 * KE) / v

Now input the values into this equation to get your answer :

Mass = (2 * KE) / v
Mass = (2 * 480) / 8
Mass = 960 / 8
Mass = 120

Answer:

Mass of an object is 15 kg.

Explanation:

It is given that,

velocity of an object, v = 8 m/s

Kinetic energy of an object, KE = 480 J

Kinetic energy of an object is due to the motion of an object. The mathematical relationship is given by :

KE=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

Where m is the mass of an object

m=\dfrac{2\times KE}{v^2}

m=\dfrac{2\times 480\ J}{(8\ m/s)^2}

m = 15 kg

Hence, the mass of an object is 15 kg

Air resistance allow objects to develop full acceleration due to gravity true or false
Aloiza [94]
False. because the object cannot freefall due to resistance, so it cannot develop full acceleration.

Please choose the answer that describes the scientific notation 5098000
bonufazy [111]

So there is a decimal after the last zero and it looks like this 5098000. You have to move the decimal point six back to get in between the five and the zero which looks like this 5.098000 

<span>Scientific notation is the way that scientists easily handle very large numbers or very small numbers. For example, instead of writing 0.0000000056, we write 5.6 x 10^<span>9</span>.</span>

Being that we moved the decimal six places back the answer is 5.098 x 10^6

What method has detected the most extrasolar planets so far?
Sedaia [141]
<h2>Answer: The Transit  method</h2>

Detecting extrasolar planets by direct observation (with a telescope) is a complicated task. This is because any planet constitutes an extremely dim light source compared to the star around which it orbits.

So, to detect this extremely dim source is quite difficult due to the glare of the star's light that dulls it.

In this sense, scientists and astronomers have made several methods to find these extrasolar planets, among which the most successful has been the transit method.

This method is based on <u>astronomical transit</u>, a phenomenon in which a body (a planet in this case) passes in front of a larger one (the star), blocking (eclipsing) its vision to some extent.

It should be noted that this is the method currently used in the search for extrasolar planets. Space agencies such as ESA (Europe) and NASA (USA) have put into orbit satellites with extremely sensitive photometric sensors to observe even the smallest variations of intensity of a star due to the passage of a planet.

A spacecraft and a staellite are at diametrically opposite position in the same circular orbit of altitude 500 km above the eart
Tanya [424]

Answer:

Hello the diagram related to your question is attached below

answer: a) 851 m/s

             b)  8506.1 secs

Explanation:

calculate the periodic time of the satellite using the equation below

t = \frac{2\pi }{R} \sqrt{\frac{(R+h)^{3} }{g} }  --  ( 1 )

where ; R = 6370 km

h = 500 km

g = 9.81 m/s^2

input given values into equation 1

t = 5670.75 secs

next calculate the periodic time taken by the space craft  

<u>a) determine the increase in speed </u>

V = v - \sqrt{\frac{gR^2}{R + h} }  

where ; v = 8463 m/s , R = 6370 km, h = 500 km

V = 851 m/s

b) Determine the periodic time for the elliptic orbit

τ = \frac{3t}{2}

 = \frac{3*5670.76}{2}  =  8506.1 secs

attached below is the remaining part of the detailed solution
