Answer:

Sputnik I.

Explanation:

The Soviet Union (former) launched the first artificial earth satellite called Sputnik I on October 4, 1957.

It had a diameter of 58 cm and it weighed 83.6 kg. It had an orbital period of 5880 seconds around the earth. It orbited the 11 weeks (officially 3 weeks but then, its battery died and it orbited for 8 weeks before falling back into the earth's atmosphere).

Which of the following statements about atoms is true?

anastassius [24]

<span>The atoms are grouped thus forming molecules. Each type of molecule is the combination of a certain number of atoms linked between them and in a specific way, whenever a molecule can contain atoms of different elements or of the same. And that in turn, Each atom retains its structural characteristics, beyond that they are part of different molecules because during the chemical reactions the atoms cannot be created or destroyed, but they are organized in a different way creating links between an atom and another.</span>

An unnamed professor is walking to class when an office chair (travelling in the same direction) collides with them. The profess

ololo11 [35]

Answer: 1.96 m/s

Explanation:

Given

Mass of Professor $m_1=113\ kg$

Velocity of professor $u_1=1.56\ m/s$

mass of chair $m_2=10\ kg$

velocity of chair $u_2=6.5\ m/s$

Suppose after the collision, v is the common velocity

Conserving momentum

$\Rightarrow m_1u_1+m_2u_2=(m_1+m_2)v\\\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{113\times 1.56+10\times 6.5}{113+10}=\dfrac{241.28}{123}\\\\\Rightarrow v=1.96\ m/s$

Determine the magnitude and direction of the resultant force of the following free body diagram.

Papessa [141]

Answer:

The magnitude and direction of the resultant force are approximately 599.923 newtons and 36.405°.

Explanation:

First, we must calculate the resultant force ( $\vec F$ ), in newtons, by vectorial sum:

$\vec F = [(-200\,N)\cdot \cos 60^{\circ}+(400\,N)\cdot \cos 45^{\circ}+300\,N]\,\hat{i} + [(200\,N)\cdot \sin 60^{\circ} + (400\,N)\cdot \sin 45^{\circ}-100\,N]\,\hat{j}$ (1)
