1. 5GmM/ (4R)
2. 3GmM/(2R)
3. 7GmM/(6R)
4. 2GmM/R
5. 9GmM/(10R)

Answer:

5. 9GmM/(10R)

Explanation:

m is the mass of the satellite

M is the mass of the earth

W is the energy required to launch the satellite

Energy at earth surface = Potential energy (PE) + W

W = Energy at earth surface - Potential energy (PE)

But PE = -\frac{GMm}{R}

Therefore: W = Energy at earth surface - \frac{GMm}{R}

Energy at earth surface (E) at an altitude of 5R = -\frac{GMm}{5r} +\frac{1}{2}mV^2

But V=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{5R} }

Therefore: E=-\frac{GMm}{5R}+\frac{1}{2}m(\sqrt{\frac{GM}{5R} } )^2=  -\frac{GMm}{5R}+\frac{GMm}{10R}  = -\frac{GMm}{10R}

W = E - PE

W=-\frac{GMm}{10R}-(-\frac{GMm}{R})=-\frac{GMm}{10R}+\frac{GMm}{R}=\frac{9GMm}{10R} \\W=\frac{9GMm}{10R}

The repeating pattern of a minerals particles in a solid is called
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

Crystal structure

Explanation:

The repeated pattern of similar particles in a material is called crystal. Crystal structure is the largest constituent unit of a solid matter.

The fundamental identity of a crystal structure is a unit cell that is formed by the arrangement of atoms or ions in a particular manner. A crystal is defined as a regular, long-ranged repeated arrangement of unit cells.

Crystal have a sharp melting and boiling point and they give a sharp edge on being cut with a knife.

A block of ice (m = 9 kg) at a temperature of T1 = 0 degrees C is placed out in the sun until it melts, and the temperature of t
jonny [76]

Answer:

a) An expression for the amount of energy, E_m, needed to melt the ice into water.

(E_m) = (m × Lf)

b) An expression for the total amount of energy, E_tot, to melt the ice and then bring the water to T2

(Total heat) = (m × Lf) + mc (T2 - T1)

c) 3,646,458 J = 3646.46 kJ

Explanation:

a) When a pure body changes its phase at meltimgbor boiling point, it does so at a constant temperature. When a pure body melts, the amount of heat responsible for this change is just given by a product od the mass of the body and the body's heat of fusion.

(E_m) = (m × Lf)

b) The Heat required to raise the temperature of a body from one temperature to another is given by the product of the mass of the body, its specific heat capacity and the temperature difference between the final point and the starting point.

(E_2) = mcΔT = mc (T2 - T1)

Total heat required to melt the ice at T1 = 0 and raise the temperature of the resulting water to T2 is then a sum of (E_m) + (E_2)

(Total heat) = (m × Lf) + mc (T2 - T1)

c) What is the energy in Joules?

(Total heat) = (m × Lf) + mc (T2 - T1)

m = mass of ice = resulting mass of water = 9 kg

Lf = latent heat of fusion = 334000 J/kg

c = Specific heat capacity of water = 4186 J/kg.K

T2 = final temperature of the water = 17°C

T1 = Initial temperature of the water = 0°C

Note that the units of temperature difference is the same for K and °C

(Total heat) = (m × Lf) + mc (T2 - T1)

Q = (9 × 334000) + [9 × 4186 × (17 - 0)]

Q = 3,006,000 + 640,458 = 3,646,458 J = 3646.46 kJ

Hope this Helps!!!
