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

A blacksmith heats a 1,540 g iron horseshoe to a temperature of 1445°c before dropping it into 4,280 g of water at 23.1°c. if th
Marta_Voda [28]
Given:
m₁ = 1540 g, mass of iron horseshoe
T₁ = 1445 °C, initial temperature of horseshoe
c₁ = 0.4494 J/(g-°C), specific heat

m₂ = 4280 g, mass of water
T₂ = 23.1 C, initial temperature of water
c₂ = 4.18 J/(g-°C), specific heat of water
L = 947,000 J heat absorbed by the water.

Let the final temperature be T °C.
For energy balance,
m₁c₁(T₁ - T) = m₂c₂(T - T₂) + L
(1540 g)*(0.4494 J/(g-C))*(1445-T C) = (4280 g)*(4.18 J/(g-C))*(T-23.1 C) + 947000 J
692.076(1445 - T) = 17890(T - 23.1) + 947000
10⁶ - 692.076T = 17890T - 413259 + 947000
466259 = 18582.076T
T = 25.09 °C

Answer: 25.1 °C
