Your spaceship lands on an unknown planet. to determine the characteristics of this planet, you drop a 1.50 kg wrench from 5.50

m above the ground and measure that it hits the ground 0.811 s later. you also do enough surveying to determine that the circumference of the planet is 6.28×104 km . part a what is the mass of the planet, in kilograms?

1. calculate the value of acceleration that objects gains in that period of time
•calculating acceleration
5.50 = 1/2at^2
5.50*2/t^2 = a
11.00/0.657 = a
16.74=a
now you got the acceleration
2. you have laws of gravitation for that

g = Gm/r^2
where g is the acceleration value
16.74 = 6.754*10^-11 × m/ 6.28*10^4
105.14*10^4 /6.754*10-11 = m
15.567*10^15 = m
that would be the mass of the planet ...

Answer:

The mass of the planet is M=2.5*10^{25}kg

Explanation:

We have a first part of the problem, which <u>we resolve with kinematics</u>, knowing that

d=d_{0}+v_{0}t+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where <em>d is given (5.50m), d₀ is zero, v₀ is zero too (as the wrench starts falling from static position), t is given (0.811s), and a is what we want to know</em> for the second part of the problem. We <u>clear a</u>

a=\frac{2*5.5m}{(0.811s)^2}=16.72\frac{m}{s^2}

Then for the second part, we use <em>Newton's gravitational Law</em>, where

F_{g}=G\frac{mM}{r^2}

<em>m is the wrench mass, M is the planet mass, G is the gravity universal constant, and r is calculated from the given circumference (with the correct units)</em> as

2\pi r=6.28*10^7m\Leftrightarrow r=\frac{6.28*10^7m}{2\pi}=9994930.4m

<u>Finally</u>, we have that

F_{g}=G\frac{mM}{r^2}\Leftrightarrow ma=G\frac{mM}{r^2}\Leftrightarrow a=G\frac{M}{r^2}\Leftrightarrow M=\frac{ar^2}{G}

Therefore, replacing with the data calculated, and the known value of G, we can calculate M of the planet

M=\frac{16.72*9994930.4^2}{6.67428*10^{-11}}=2.5*10^{25}kg

Why does Mars not have an electric field and why
tangare [24]

Answer:

The difference lies in the planets' respective magnetic fields, because while Earth's magnetism comes from within, Mars' does not. Earth's magnetism comes from its core, where molten, electrically conducting iron flows beneath the crust. Its magnetic field is global, meaning it surrounds the entire planet

A 1.50 3 103 - kg car starts from rest and accelerates uniformly to 18.0 m/s in 12.0 s. Assume that air resistance remains const
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

let force exerted by engine be F.Net force =( F-400)N, applying newton law

     F-400 = 1.5 x 10³x18 =27000 ,

F = 27400 N.

velocity after 12 s  = 0 + 18 x 12 = 216 m/s

Average velocity = (0 + 216 )/2 = 108 m/s

Average power = force x average velocity = 27400 x 108 = 29.6 10⁵ W .⁶

b) At 12 s , velocity = 216 m/s

Instantaneous power = velocity x force = 216 x 27400 = 59.2 x 10⁶ W.

denis-greek [22]

According to the research, the correct option is a. The heat generated from the fission reaction is used to boil water, which rises and spins a turbine.

<h3>How is fision used to produce electricity?</h3>

In fusion, two atoms come together to form a larger one, releasing enormous amounts of energy in the process, this is used by generators to produce electricity.

As a result of nuclear fusion, large amounts of heat are generated that are used to produce pressurized steam, which allows mechanical energy to be obtained to start up electric power generators.

Therefore, we can conclude that according to the research, the correct option is a. The heat generated from the fission reaction is used to boil water, which rises and spins a turbine.
