A rocket lifts off the pad at cape canaveral. according to newton's law of gravitation, the force of gravity on the rocket is gi

ven by f(x) = − gmm x2 where m is the mass of the earth, m is the mass of the rocket, g is a universal constant, and x is the distance (in miles) between the rocket and the center of the earth. take the radius of the earth to be 4000 miles, so that x > 4000 miles. find the work, w1, done against gravity when the rocket rises 2000 miles.

The equation is the Law of Universal Gravitation. The gravitational constant G is equal to 6.67×10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg². The mass of the Earth is <span>5.972 ×10</span>²⁴ kg. Compared to the mass of the Earth, the mass of the rocket is negligible. So, we don't need to know the mass of the rocket. Substituting the values:

F = (6.67×10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg²)(5.972 ×10²⁴ kg)/(4000 miles*(1.609 km/1mile))²
F = 9616423.08 N

The work is equal to
W = Fd
W = (9616423.08 N)(2000 miles*1.609 km/mile)
W = 9.095×10¹⁰ Joules

A charge of 7.2 × 10-5 C is placed in an electric field with a strength of 4.8 × 105 StartFraction N over C EndFraction. If the
barxatty [35]

Answer:

2.2 meters

Explanation:

Potential energy, PE created by a charge, q at a radius r from the charge source, Q,  is expressed as:

KE=\frac{kQq}{r}\     \ \ \ \ \ \ ...i

k is Coulomb's constant.

#The electric field,E at radius r is expressed as:

E=\frac{kQ}{r^2}\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ ...ii

From i and ii, we have:

KE=Eqr

r=(KE)/Eq

#Substitute actual values in our equation:

r=\frac{75J}{(7.2\times 10^{-5}C)(4.8\times 10^5 V/m)}\\\\=2.1701\approx2.2\ m

Hence, the distance between the charge and the source of the electric field is 2.2 meters

How can a moving coil galvanometer can be made into a dc ammeter?
Dennis_Churaev [7]
I am absolutely sure that the way how can a moving coil galvanometer can be made into a dc ammeter is of course by connecting a. low resistance across the meter. You should remember that you must connect <span>a shunt resistor straight across the galvanometer. Do hope this answer will help you! Regards.</span>

What do conduction, radiation, and convection work together to do?
Semmy [17]

Well, conduction is the passing of heat by touch. Convection is the passing along of heat by movement (e.g. hot air rising from a radiator to heat the rest of the room), and radiation is the heating of something through electromagnetic rays without any contact.  For example, the earth absorbs the heat radiated from the son (radiation). The air that touches the earth gets warmed up (conduction), and rises, and as it rises, it passes its heat along to more air around it (convection).

According to Newton's first law of motion, what is required to make an object slow down? Enter your answer in the space provided
LenaWriter [7]

<u>Answer:</u>

According to newton's first law of motion, friction is required to make an object slow down.

<u>Explanation:</u>

According to the Newton's first law of motion, for an object to change its velocity (either a change in the magnitude or the direction), there must be a cause to it which is defined as a net external force.

For example, an object which is sliding across a table or floor slows down due to the net force of friction that is acting on that object.
