A space probe is orbiting a planet on a circular orbit of radius R and a speed v. The acceleration of the probe is a. Suppose ro

ckets on the probe are fired causing the probe to move to another circular orbit of radius 0.5R and speed 2v. What is the magnitude of the probe’s acceleration in the new orbit?

Answer:

acceleration in the new orbit is 8 time of acceleration of planet in old orbit

a_{new} = 8a.

Explanation:

given data:

radius of orbit = R

Speed pf planet = v

new radius = 0.5R

new speed = 2v

we know that acce;ration is given as

a = \frac{v^{2}}{R},

a_{new} =\frac{(2v)^{2}}{0.5R},

           = \frac{4v^{2}}{0.5R}

          = \frac{8 v^{2}}{R}

a_{new} = 8a.

acceleration in the new orbit is 8 time of acceleration of planet in old orbit

Una carga de -10Mc está situada a 20cm delante de otra carga de 5 Mc. Calcular la fuerza electrostática en Newton ejercida por u
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

a)  force between them is attraction,   b)  F = 1.125 10⁻² N

Explanation:

In this case the electric force is given by Coulomb's law

          F =k \frac{q_1q_2}{r^2}

           

In the exercise they give us the values ​​of the loads

          q1 = - 10 mC = -10 10⁻³ C

          q2 = 5 mC = 5 10⁻³ C

           d = 20 cm = 0.20 m

let's calculate

          F = 9 10⁹ \frac{10 \ 10^{-3} \ 5 \ 10^{-3}}{0.20^2}

          F = 1.125 10⁻² N

To find the direction of the force we use that charges of the same sign repel each other, as in this case there is a positive and a negative charge, the force between them is attraction

The pressure of air pushing down on a house roof is extremely large. Why is the roof not crushed?
Degger [83]
There is still air inside of a house, which is pushing the roof upwards, so the forces are equal and the roof is not crushed.

Explain how electric currents flow only in closed circuits​
Fed [463]

Answer:

The wires are connected to both terminals of the battery, so they form a closed loop. Most circuits have devices such as light bulbs that convert electrical energy to other forms of energy. ... When the switch is turned on, the circuit is closed and current can flow through it.

Ali mixes 20g of Sodium Chloride in 100g of water at 15 Degree °C. Calculate the mass of the solution
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

The mass of the solution is 120 g.

Explanation:

The mass of the solution is given by:

m_{sol} = m_{1} + m_{2}

Where:

m_{sol}: is the mass of the solution

m_{1}: is the mass of the solvent

m_{2}: is the mass of the solute

In the solution, the solvent is the majority compound (in mass) and the solute is the minority (in mass), so the solvent is the water and the solute is sodium chloride.          

Hence, the mass of the solution is:

m_{sol} = m_{1} + m_{2} = 100 g + 20 g = 120 g  

I hope it helps you!
