Answer:

M = 7.43×10^25 kg

Explanation:

let the mass of the planet be M and r be the radius of the planet and g be the gravitational acceleretion.

then:

the gravitational acceleration is given by:

g = G×M/(r^2)

M = g×r^2/G

= [(41)×(1.1×10^7)^2]/(6.67408×10^-11)

= 7.43×10^25 kg

therefore, the mass of the planet is 7.43×10^25 kg.

Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

$1.7\cdot 10^3 N$

Explanation:

The impulse theorem states that the product between the force and the time interval of the collision is equal to the change in momentum:

$F \Delta t = m \Delta v$

where

F is the force

$\Delta t$ is the time interval

m is the mass

$\Delta v$ is the change in velocity

Here we have

m = 84 kg

$\Delta t = 1.2 s$

$\Delta v = 24 m/s$

So we can solve the equation to find the force:

$F= \frac{m \Delta v}{\Delta t }=\frac{(84 kg)(24 m/s)}{1.2 s}=1680 N \sim 1.7\cdot 10^3 N$

At a place where an object is thrown vertically downward with a speed of while a different object is thrown vertically upward wi

Bumek [7]

Answer:

Both objects will undergo the same change in velocity

Explanation:

m = Mass of the Earth = 5.972 × 10²⁴ kg

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

r = Radius of Earth = 6371000 m

m = Mass of object

Any object which is falling has only the acceleration due to gravity.

$ma=\dfrac{GMm}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{GM}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 5.972\times 10^{24}}{(6.371\times 10^6)^2}\\\Rightarrow a=9.81364\ m/s^2$

The acceleration due to gravity on Earth is 9.81364 m/s²

So, the speeds of the objects will change at an equal rate of 9.81364 m/s² but the change will be negative when an object is thrown up.

Hence, both objects will undergo the same change in velocity.

How are the energy conversions of machines similar to the energy conversions in your body

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

Explained below

Explanation:

When we eat food, our body gets chemical energy from it. Now, this chemical energy from the food is changed into some different energy forms that is useful to it. They include:

-Chemical to mechanical energy to aid in movement of muscles

- chemical to thermal energy to aid in regulating the body temperature.

- chemical to electrical energy to aid the brain in thinking.

Thus is similar to how a machine converts energy because machines also generate energy after being powered and convert to other forms of energy. For example, an alarm clock converts electrical energy to sound energy, hair dryer converts electrical energy to thermal/heat energy.
