An astronaut orbits planet Y in her spaceship. To remain in orbit at 410km above the planet's center, she maintains a speed of 6

8 m/s. What is the mass of planet Y? Note: the constant of universal gravity (G) equals 6.674 × 10-11 N ⋅ m2/kg2.

Formula for orbital speed, v =  √(GM/R)

Where G is the universal gravitational constant, M = Central Mass,

R = Distance between centers of Mass.

Given.  v = 68 m/s, M = ? , R = 410 km = 410000 m., G = 6.674 * 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg²

68 = √(GM/R)

68 = √(6.674 * 10⁻¹¹ * M/410000)

68² =  (6.674 * 10⁻¹¹ * M)/410000

(68²  * 410000) / 6.674 * 10⁻¹¹    = M

2.84 × 10¹⁹    = M

Mass of Planet Y =  2.84 × 10¹⁹ kg

Which of the following statements are true concerning the creation of magnetic fields? Check all that apply. Check all that appl
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

A permanent magnet creates a magnetic field at all points in the surrounding region.

An electric current in a conductor creates a magnetic field at all points in the surrounding region.

A moving electric charge creates a magnetic field at all points in the surrounding region.

Explanation:

Magnet field is a region around the magnet in which the magnetic force can be experienced. A magnet has two poles: North pole and South pole. A Magnetic field originates from north pole and ends at south pole.

Magnets are of two types: Permanent magnet and temporary magnet.

A moving charge produces magnetic field. A stationary charge can not produce a magnetic field.

The rate of flowing charge constitutes an electric current. If the cardboard is placed around the current carrying conductor and the iron fillings spread around the cardboard then the iron nails get stick to it. It means that a current carrying conductor creates a magnetic field around it.

Therefore, the true statements from the given statements are as follows;

A permanent magnet creates a magnetic field at all points in the surrounding region.

An electric current in a conductor creates a magnetic field at all points in the surrounding region.

A moving electric charge creates a magnetic field at all points in the surrounding region.

On an ice skating rink, a girl of mass 50 kg stands stationary, face to face with a boy of mass 80 kg. The children push off of
sasho [114]

The velocity of the girl is  -4.8 m/s.

Using the principle of conservation of linear momentum, The total momentum of  bodies before and after collision is constant. Since the two objects are stationary, the initial momentum of each body is zero.

Thus;

0 = (80 × 3) + (50 × v)

0 = 240 + 50 v

-240 = 50 v

v = -240/50

v = -4.8 m/s

Note that the negative sign shows that the velocity of the girl is in opposite direction that that of the girl.
