AVprozaik [17]
<h2>Answer:</h2><h2>The acceleration of the meteoroid due to the gravitational force exerted by the planet = 12.12 m/s^{2}</h2>

Explanation:

A meteoroid is in a circular orbit 600 km above the surface of a distant planet.

Mass of the planet = mass of earth = 5.972 x 10^{24} Kg

Radius of the earth = 90% of earth radius = 90% 6370 = 5733 km

The acceleration of the meteoroid due to the gravitational force exerted by the planet = ?

By formula, g = \frac{GM}{r^{2} }

where g is the acceleration due to the gravity

G is the universal gravitational constant = 6.67 x 10^{-11} m^{3} kg^{-1} s^{-2}

M is the mass of the planet

r is the radius of the planet

Substituting the values, we get

g =  \frac{(6.67 * 10^{-11}) (5.972 * 10^{24})  }{5733^{2} }

g = 12.12 m/s^{2}

The acceleration of the meteoroid due to the gravitational force exerted by the planet = 12.12 m/s^{2}

Your little sister is building a radio from scratch. Plans call for a 500 μH inductor wound on a cardboard tube. She brings you
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

N = 195 turns

Explanation:

The inductance of the inductor, L = 500 μH = 500 * 10⁻⁶H

The length of the tube, l = 12 cm = 0.12 m

The diameter of the tube, d = 4 cm = 0.04 m

Radius, r = 0.04/2 = 0.02 m

Area of the tube, A = πr² = 0.02²π = 0.0004π m²

\mu_{0} = 4\pi * 10^{-7}

The inductance of a solenoid is given by:

L = \frac{\mu_{0}N^{2} A }{l}

500 * 10^{-6} = \frac{4\pi *10^{-7}  N^{2} *4\pi  *10^{-4}  }{0.12}\\500 * 10^{-6} = 0.00000001316N^{2} \\N^{2} = \frac{500 * 10^{-6}}{0.00000001316}\\N^{2} = 37995.44\\N = \sqrt{37995.44} \\N = 194.92 turns

An ideal heat engine absorbs 97.2 kJ of heat and exhausts 83.8 kJ of heat in each cycle. What is the efficiency of the engine?
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

13.7%

Explanation:

Given that,

Heat absorbed by the engine = 97.2 kJ

Heat exhausted by the engine in each cycle = 83.8 kJ

We need to find the efficiency of the engine. It is calculated by the formula.

\eta=1-\dfrac{Q_e}{Q_a}\\\\=1-\dfrac{83.8}{97.2}\\\\=0.137\\\\=13.7\%

so, the efficiency of heat engine is 13.7%.

The two forces in each pair can either both act on the same body or they can act on different bodies. The two forces in each pai
kotykmax [81]

Answer: The given statement is false.

Explanation:

According to Newton's third law of motion, every action has an equal and opposite reaction. So, when we apply force in one direction on an object then the object also applies a force in the opposite direction.

Hence, it is true that two forces in each pair of forces act in opposite directions.

For example, when we push a wooden box of 20 kg in the forward direction then the box will also apply a force in the opposite direction.

But the statement two forces in each pair can either both act on the same body or they can act on different bodies is false.
