Answer:

With science, even if they have the same mass doesn't mean it will have the same weight.

Explanation:

Sometimes gravity does different things like sinks objects that are the same mass as others. I took Bio last year and learned that not everything with the same mass has the same balance.

How much work is done on a satellite in a circular orbit about earth?

alexgriva [62]

Answer:

0 J

Explanation:

$W$ = Work done on the satellite in circular orbit about earth by earth

$F$ = Force on gravity on satellite by earth

$d$ = displacement of the satellite

$\theta$ = Angle between the force on gravity and displacement = 90

We know that, Work done is given as

$W = F d Cos\theta\\W = F d Cos90\\W = F d (0)\\W = 0 J$

Estimate the magnitude of the electric field due to the proton in a hydrogen atom at a distance of

Lana71 [14]

Electric field due to a point charge is given as

$E = \frac{kq}{r^2}$

here we know that

$q = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} C$

also the distance is given as

$r = 5.29 \times 10^{-11} m$

now we will have

$E = \frac{(9\times 10^9)(1.6 \times 10^{-19})}{(5.29 \times 10^{-11})^2}$

so we will have

$E = 5.14 \times 10^{11} N/C$

so above is the electric field due to proton

A cardinal (Richmondena cardinalis) of mass 3.70×10−2 kg and a baseball of mass 0.144 kg have the same kinetic energy. What is t

Radda [10]

Answer:

$\frac{p_{c}}{p_{b}}\approx 0.507$

Explanation:

Since the cardinal and ball have the same kinetic energy, it is possible to determine the ratio between speeds. (c for cardinal, b for baseball)

$K_{c} = K_{b}$

$\frac{1}{2}\cdot m_{c}\cdot v_{c}^{2}= \frac{1}{2}\cdot m_{b}\cdot v_{b}^{2}$

$\frac{v_{c}}{v_{b}}=\sqrt{\frac{m_{b}}{m_{c}} }$

The ratio is obtained by multiplying each side by $\frac{m_{c}}{m_{b}}$ :

$\frac{p_{c}}{p_{b}}=\frac{m_{c}}{m_{b}}\cdot \sqrt{\frac{m_{b}}{m_{c}} }$

$\frac{p_{c}}{p_{b}}= \sqrt{\frac{m_{c}}{m_{b}} }$

The value of this ratio is:

$\frac{p_{c}}{p_{b}}\approx 0.507$

Please someone help me.

Answer:

acceleration of the car is 3 m\s^2

Explanation:

from rest means the initial velocity (vi) is zero

time = 5s

final velocity (vf) = 15m\s

a = vf - vi \ t

a = (15-0) \ 5

a= 3 m\s^2

which means that the car is speeding up 3 meters every second
