A probe from earth, with a mass of 106 kg, is in orbit around planet Pud in another solar system. Pud has a radius of 106 m and

the probe has an orbital radius of 107 m (its orbit is circular). If the speed of the probe in orbit is 1 km/s, what is the acceleration due to g

Answer:

The acceleration due to gravity in planet Pud is of 9345.7m/s²

Explanation:

Since the probe is describing a circular motion around planet Pud, its centripetal acceleration is given by the formula:

a_c=\frac{v^{2}}{R}

Assuming there is no other external forces acting on the probe in the centripetal direction, we have that

a_c=g_{Pud}=\frac{v^{2}}{R}

Before we plug in the values, we have to convert the speed from km/s to m/s:

1\frac{km}{s} =1000\frac{m}{s}

Finally, using the given values, we can compute g_{Pud}:

g_{Pud}=\frac{(1000\frac{m}{s}) ^{2} }{107m}= 9345.7\frac{m}{s^{2}}

In words, the acceleration due to gravity in planet Pud is of 9345.7m/s²

Determine which heat transfers below are due to the process of conduction. I) You walk barefoot on the hot street and it burns y
Rudik [331]

I) You walk barefoot on the hot street and it burns your toes.

The road is in direct contact with your skin. Thermal energy from the road will transfer to the bottom of your feet, then to the rest of your body. This is an example of conduction.


II) When you get into a car with hot black leather in the middle of the summer and your skin starts to get burned.

Just like in the previous example, the hot leather is in direct contact with your skin (I guess if you're going to drive naked). Thermal energy from the leather will transfe to your skin, then to the rest of your body. This is also conduction.


III) A flame heats the air inside a hot air balloon and the balloon rises.

The flame heats air directly at the bottom of the balloon. The warm air expands and becomes less dense. This will rise and let the unheated, denser air in the balloon fall down toward the flame. This is an example of the convection cycle.


IV) A boy sits to the side of a campfire. He is 10 feet away, but still feels warm.

The campfire heats air directly nearby. The warm air expands and moves away from the fire in all directions, leaving behind unheated, denser air to be heated up. Some of the warm air reaches the boy. This is another example of convection.


The answer is A) 1 and 2.
