Answer:

Since I didn't got your question in actual. So, I defined it as in my own way.....Polarization in Physics, is defined as a phenomenon caused due to the wave nature of electromagnetic radiation.

Explanation:

I HOPE YOU GOT THE ANSWER!!!!

A 100-kg spacecraft is in a circular orbit about Earth at a height h = 2RE .

maria [59]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the conservation of the Gravitational Force and the centripetal force by equilibrium,

$F_g = F_c$

$\frac{GmM}{r^2} = \frac{mv^2}{r}$

Where,

m = Mass of spacecraft

M = Mass of Earth

r = Radius (Orbit)

G = Gravitational Universal Music

v = Velocity

Re-arrange to find the velocity

$\frac{GM}{r^2} = \frac{v^2}{r}$

$\frac{GM}{r} = v^2$

$v = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{r}}$

PART A ) The radius of the spacecraft's orbit is 2 times the radius of the earth, that is, considering the center of the earth, the spacecraft is 3 times at that distance. Replacing then,

$v = \sqrt{\frac{(6.67*10^{-11})(5.97*10^{24})}{3*(6.371*10^6)}}$

$v = 4564.42m/s$

From the speed it is possible to use find the formula, so

$T = \frac{2\pi r}{v}$

$T = \frac{2\pi (6.371*10^6)}{4564.42}$

$T = 8770.05s\approx 146min\approx 2.4hour$

Therefore the orbital period of the spacecraft is 2 hours and 24 minutes.

PART B) To find the kinetic energy we simply apply the definition of kinetic energy on the ship, which is

$KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^2$

$KE = \frac{1}{2} (100)(4564.42)^2$

$KE = 1.0416*10^9J$

Therefore the kinetic energy of the Spacecraft is 1.04 Gigajules.

You throw a ball with a speed of 25.0 m/s at an angle of 40.0â—¦ above the horizontal directly toward a wall. The wall is 22.0 m

kirza4 [7]

The horizontal speed is going to be the cosine of the given speed, therefore, the horizontal speed is 19.15 m/s. To find the time, divide the 22 m distance by the velocity. This results in 1.131 seconds, which is in between C and D.

Compare physical changes and chemical changes

JulijaS [17]

Answer:

The difference between a physical reaction and a chemical reaction is composition. In a chemical reaction, there is a change in the composition of the substances in question; in a physical change there is a difference in the appearance, smell, or simple display of a sample of matter without a change in composition. Although we call them physical "reactions," no reaction is actually occurring. In order for a reaction to take place, there must be a change in the elemental composition of the substance in question. Thus, we shall simply refer to physical "reactions" as physical changes from now on.

Explanation:

Physical changes are limited to changes that result in a difference in display without changing the composition. Some common changes (but not limited to) are:

Texture

Color

Temperature

Shape

Change of State (Boiling Point and Melting Point are significant factors in determining this change.)

Physical properties include many other aspects of a substance. The following are (but not limited to) physical properties.

Luster

Malleability

Ability to be drawn into a thin wire

Density

Viscosity

Solubility
