Answer:

Both variables depend on mass and velocity but momentum is a vector quantity while kinetic energy is a scalar quantity.

Explanation:

Momentum is directly proportional to the mass and velocity. To a greater mass or velocity a greater momentum while Kinetic Energy is inversely proportional to the object's mass. The smaller the mass the greater the Kinetic Energy.

How to find a planet’s gravitational field strength using its radius?

grin007 [14]

The gravitational field strength is approximately equal to 10 N.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Gravitational field strength is the measure of gravitational force acting on any object placed on the surface of the planet. Generally, the mass of the object is considered as 1 kg.

So the gravitational field strength will be equal to the gravitational force acting on the object.

The formula for gravitational field strength is

$g = \frac{F}{m}$

Here g is the gravitational field strength, m is the mass of the object placed on the surface and F is the gravitational force acting on the object.

Since, the mass of any object placed on the surface of earth will be negligible compared to the mass of Earth, so the mass of the object is considered as 1 kg.

Then the g = F

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

Here G is the gravitational constant, M is the mass of Earth and m is the mass of the object placed on the surface, while r is the radius of the Earth.

$g = F = \frac{6 \times 10^{24} \times 6.67 \times 10^{-11} \times 1}{(6.6 \times 10^{6}) ^{2} }$

$g = 0.977 \times 10^1= 9.77\ N$

So, the gravitational field strength is approximately equal to 10 N.

A 100-kg spacecraft is in a circular orbit about Earth at a height h = 2RE .

maria [59]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the conservation of the Gravitational Force and the centripetal force by equilibrium,

$F_g = F_c$

$\frac{GmM}{r^2} = \frac{mv^2}{r}$

Where,

m = Mass of spacecraft

M = Mass of Earth

r = Radius (Orbit)

G = Gravitational Universal Music

v = Velocity

Re-arrange to find the velocity

$\frac{GM}{r^2} = \frac{v^2}{r}$

$\frac{GM}{r} = v^2$

$v = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{r}}$

PART A ) The radius of the spacecraft's orbit is 2 times the radius of the earth, that is, considering the center of the earth, the spacecraft is 3 times at that distance. Replacing then,

$v = \sqrt{\frac{(6.67*10^{-11})(5.97*10^{24})}{3*(6.371*10^6)}}$

$v = 4564.42m/s$

From the speed it is possible to use find the formula, so

$T = \frac{2\pi r}{v}$

$T = \frac{2\pi (6.371*10^6)}{4564.42}$

$T = 8770.05s\approx 146min\approx 2.4hour$

Therefore the orbital period of the spacecraft is 2 hours and 24 minutes.

PART B) To find the kinetic energy we simply apply the definition of kinetic energy on the ship, which is

$KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^2$

$KE = \frac{1}{2} (100)(4564.42)^2$

$KE = 1.0416*10^9J$

Therefore the kinetic energy of the Spacecraft is 1.04 Gigajules.

The astronomer who discovered the dwarf planet Eris suggests there might be another object far beyond the Kupier belt. If this P

PolarNik [594]

These objects would be classified as extreme trans Neptunian object (ETNO).

Explanation:

ETNO’s are the objects lying beyond the planet Neptune and orbiting the Sun. They follow a highly eccentric path which is tilted. ETNO has been grouped into three major according to their respective perihelia.

Within this region (beyond Neptune’s orbit), a hypothetical planet has been discovered. It was discovered following its gravitational effect on the other objects of Kuiper Belt (region beyond the orbit of the Neptune- the last planet of our Solar system)

The Planet is assumed to be around 2 times the Earth’s size and around 10 times heavier than Earth.
