Answer:

Well to begin lets think about all waves. They all start with certain energies.

Elasticity and inertia produce mechanical waves.

Hope I helped

An astronaut has a mass of 75 kg and is floating in space 500 m from his 125,000 kg spacecraft. What will be the force of gravit

nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

1. 2.5×10¯⁹ N

2. 3.33×10¯¹¹ m/s²

Explanation:

1. Determination of the force of attraction.

Mass of astronaut (M₁) = 75 Kg

Mass of spacecraft (M₂) = 125000 Kg

Distance apart (r) = 500 m

Gravitational constant (G) = 6.67×10¯¹¹ Nm²/Kg²

Force of attraction (F) =?

The force of attraction between the astronaut and his spacecraft can be obtained as follow:

F = GM₁M₂ /r²

F = 6.67×10¯¹¹ × 75 × 125000 / 500²

F = 2.5×10¯⁹ N

Thus, the force of attraction between the astronaut and his spacecraft is 2.5×10¯⁹ N

2. Determination of the acceleration of the astronaut.

Mass of astronaut (m) = 75 Kg

Force (F) = 2.5×10¯⁹ N

Acceleration (a) of astronaut =?

The acceleration of the astronaut can be obtained as follow:

F = ma

2.5×10¯⁹ N = 75 × a

Divide both side by 75

a = 2.5×10¯⁹ / 75

a = 3.33×10¯¹¹ m/s²

Thus, the acceleration the astronaut is 3.33×10¯¹¹ m/s²

Find the difference between two masses measured as 123.6 grams and 115.972 grams. Express the answer to the correct number of si

xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

The difference is 7.6 grams.

Explanation:

In mathematics the difference of two numbers is express as the subtraction between them:

$a-b$

So to find out the difference between the two measured masses, a will be represented by 123.6 grams since is the bigger number, and b by 115.972 grams.

Therefore, it is get:

$123.6grams-115.972grams = 7.6grams$

Hence, the difference is 7.6 grams.

The result of 7.628 will be expressed as 7.6 to have the correct number of significant figures.

Notice how that can be express in units of kilograms too since there is 1000 gram in 1 kilogram:

$7.6grams . \frac{1Kg}{1000grams}$ ⇒ $7.6x10^{-3}Kg$

Two conducting spheres are each given a charge Q. The radius of the larger sphere is three times greater than that of the smalle

padilas [110]

Answer:

Explanation:

If E₀ is the electric field outside the smaller sphere and r is the radius of larger sphere.

E₀ = kQ/r²

The radius of the larger sphere is 3r and the charge on both sphere is same then the electric field outside the larger sphere is given as

E = kQ/(3r)² = kQ/9r² = 1/9 (kQ/r²)= 1/9 x E₀

hence the correct option is e.

Give examples of not useful high friction

Tatiana [17]

Friction can be bad by being too strong or too weak.

Sometimes, when it is too strong, it decreases efficiency since some energy is wasted and turns to heat. Friction can also damage equipment/objects like when you slide it on the floor.

When friction is too weak, like for instance when there is black ice- our center of gravity is displaced too quickly and we can fall. Likewise, if there is a lot of slush on the ground, cars can slip and slide.
