One kilogram of the explosive TNT supplies explosive energy of about 4.2×10^6 J. Let's see what that energy can achieve in lifti

ng objects from Earth's surface to altitudes of hundreds of kilometers. We approach the issue through gravitational potential energy.
a. Assume the acceleration due to gravity is constant at g = 9.81 m/s2 from Earth's surface up to an altitude of 630 km above the surface. (A satellite at such an altitude would be in a "low Earth orbit.") What is the gravitational potential energy, in joules, of a 1.0-kg object at that altitude, taking the reference level for gravitational potential energy (U -0) at Earth's surface?
b. How many kilograms of TNT would need to be exploded, if the released energy were somehow used to raise a 10-kg object from Earth's surface to an altitude of 630 km at 100% efficiency, assuming constant g?
c. Again take the reference level at Earth's surface. Earth's radius and mass are 6.38x103 km and 5.97x1024 kg, respectively. Now calculate the gravitational potential energy, in joules, of a 1 0-kg object at an altitude of 630 km without assuming constant 25%
d. Without assuming constant g, how many kilograms of TNT would need to be exploded, if the released energy were somehow used to raise a 1-0-kg object from Earth's surface to an altitude of 630 km at 100% efficiency?

A negative externality:
wolverine [178]

Answer:

A) is a cost to a bystander.

Explanation:

A negative externality is defined as the difference between the social cost and an economic agent from the private cost of an action.

A negative externality is a cost to a bystander as negative externality occurs when a transaction between a buyer and seller affects third party with a loss, which has no involvement in the transaction.

Hence, the correct option is A.

weqwewe [10]

Answer:

Energy conservation.

Explanation:

The 1st Law of Thermodynamics is a statement about energy conservation. It states that \Delta U=Q-W, which means that if we <u>substract the work W done</u> by the system to the <u>heat Q given</u> to the system we get the <u>change in the internal energy</u> \Delta U, so any excess in energy given to the system appears as internal energy, stating that energy is conserved.

Why do waves with high frequencies have short wavelengths
dalvyx [7]

Answer: because  ν = velocity/λ where ν and λ are the frequency and wavelegth of the wave.

Explanation: In order to explain this problem we have to consider the relationship between frequency and wavelengths which  are related by the velocity of the wave as follows ν*λ=v where ν and λ are the frequency and wavelegth of the wave. These parameters have an inverse proportionality.

Then, ν = velocity/λ
