Answer:

4.8 \cdot 10^4 N

Explanation:

The force of gravity acting on the satellite is given by:

F=\frac{GMm}{r^2}

where

G is the gravitational constant

M=5.98\cdot 10^{24} kg is the Earth's mass

m is the mass of the satellite

r is the distance of the satellite from the Earth's centre

Here we have

m = 700 kg

r=2.4\cdot 10^6 m

Substituting into the equation, we find:

F=\frac{(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})(5.98\cdot 10^{24})(700)}{(2.4\cdot 10^6)^2}=4.8 \cdot 10^4 N

<em>Note that the distance mentioned in the problem (2.4 x 10^6 meters) is not realistic, since it is less than the radius of the Earth (6.37 x 10^6 meters).</em>

A 6 N and a 10 N force act on an object. The moment arm of the 6 N force is 0.2 m. If the 10 N force produces five times the tor
Levart [38]

Answer:

The moment arm is 0.6 m

Explanation:

Given that,

First force F_{1}=6\ N

Second force F_{2}=10\ N

Distance r = 0.2 m

We need to calculate the moment arm

Using formula of torque

\tau=Force\times lever\ arm

So, Here,

\tau_{2}=5 \tau_{1}

We know that,

The torque is the product of the force and distance.

Put the value of torque in the equation

F_{2}\times d_{2}=5\times F_{1}\times r_{1}

r_{2}=\dfrac{5\times F_{1}\times r_{1}}{F_{2}}

Where, F_{1}=First force

F_{1}=First force

F_{2}=Second force

r_{1}= distance

Put the value into the formula

r_{2}=\dfrac{5\times6\times0.2}{10}

r_{2}=0.6\ m

Hence, The moment arm is 0.6 m

Explain how the message is transmitted from the receiving neuron’s dendrites down the axon all the way to the axon terminal (ele
Vikki [24]

The vesicles release neurotransmitters. These cross the synapse and are accepted by the receptors in the dendrites of the next neuron.

Explanation:

An axon, or nerve fiber, is a long slender projection of a nerve cell, or neuron, that conducts electrical impulses away from the neuron's cell body. Axons are in effect the primary transmission lines of the nervous system, and as bundles they help make up nerves.

When an action potential reaches the axon terminal, it depolarizes the membrane and opens voltage-gated Na+ channels. Na+ ions enter the cell, further depolarizing the presynaptic membrane.

Substances X and Y are both nonpolar. If the volatility of X is higher than that of Y, what is the best explanation?
lesya692 [45]
I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is the last option.  If the volatility of X is higher than that of Y, then  <span>Y’s molecules experience stronger London dispersion forces than X’s molecules. All molecules has london dispersion forces. Also,  the stronger the bond, the harder it is to volatilize. Hope this answers the question.</span>

A toy rocket, launched from the ground, rises vertically with an acceleration of 28 m/s 2 for 9.7 s until its motor stops. Disre
vredina [299]

Answer:

5080.86m

Explanation:

We will divide the problem in parts 1 and 2, and write the equation of accelerated motion with those numbers, taking the upwards direction as positive. For the first part, we have:

y_1=y_{01}+v_{01}t+\frac{a_1t^2}{2}

v_1=v_{01}+a_1t

We must consider that it's launched from the ground (y_{01}=0m) and from rest (v_{01}=0m/s), with an upwards acceleration a_{1}=28m/s^2 that lasts a time t=9.7s.

We calculate then the height achieved in part 1:

y_1=(0m)+(0m/s)t+\frac{(28m/s^2)(9.7s)^2}{2}=1317.26m

And the velocity achieved in part 1:

v_1=(0m/s)+(28m/s^2)(9.7s)=271.6m/s

We do the same for part 2, but now we must consider that the initial height is the one achieved in part 1 (y_{02}=1317.26m) and its initial velocity is the one achieved in part 1 (v_{02}=271.6m/s), now in free fall, which means with a downwards acceleration a_{2}=-9,8m/s^2. For the data we have it's faster to use the formula v_f^2=v_0^2+2ad, where d will be the displacement, or difference between maximum height and starting height of part 2, and the final velocity at maximum height we know must be 0m/s, so we have:

v_{02}^2+2a_2(y_2-y_{02})=v_2^2=0m/s

Then, to get y_2, we do:

2a_2(y_2-y_{02})=-v_{02}^2

y_2-y_{02}=-\frac{v_{02}^2}{2a_2}

y_2=y_{02}-\frac{v_{02}^2}{2a_2}

And we substitute the values:

y_2=y_{02}-\frac{v_{02}^2}{2a_2}=(1317.26m)-\frac{(271.6m/s)^2}{2(-9.8m/s^2)}=5080.86m
