Suppose that the Mars orbiter was to have established orbit at 155 km and that one group of engineers specified this distance as

1.55 × 105 m. Suppose further that a second group of engineers programmed the orbiter to go to 1.55 × 105 ft. What was the difference in kilometers between the two altitudes? How low did the probe go?

Answer:

108 km

Explanation:

The conversion factor between meters and feet is

1 m = 3.28 ft

So the second altitude, written in feet, can be rewritten in meters as

h_2 = 1.55 \cdot 10^5 ft \cdot \frac{1}{3.28 ft/m}=4.7\cdot 10^4 m

or in kilometers,

h_2 = 47 km

the first altitude in kilometers is

h_1 = 155 km

so the difference between the two altitudes is

\Delta h = 155 km - 47 km = 108 km

The terminal velocity is not dependent on which one of the following properties? the drag coefficient 1 the force of gravity 2 c
ahrayia [7]
<h2>Answer: the falling time</h2>

Explanation:

When a body or object falls, basically two forces act on it:  

1. The force of air friction, also called<em> </em><u><em>"drag force"</em></u> D:  

D={C}_{d}\frac{\rho V^{2} }{2}A  (1)

Where:  

C_ {d} is the drag coefficient  

\rho is the density  of the fluid (air for example)

V is the velocity  

A is the transversal area of the object

So, this force is proportional to the transversal area of ​​the falling element and to the square of the velocity.  

2. Its <u>weight </u>due to the gravity force W:  

W=m.g

(2)

Where:  

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration due gravity  

So, at the moment <u>when the drag force equals the gravity force, the object will have its terminal velocity:</u>

D=W (3)

{C}_{d}\frac{\rho V^{2} }{2}A=m.g  (4)

V=\sqrt{\frac{2m.g}{\rho A{C}_{d}}}  (5) This is the terminal velocity

As we can see, there is no "falling time" in this equation.

Therefore, the terminal velocity is not dependent on the falling time.

When an oxygen atom forms an ion, it gains two electrons
kirill [66]
Note the atom of the Oxygen is electrically neutral, meaning it has equal numbers of electrons and protons.

So if it gains 2 electrons, it would have excess of 2 electrons, hence its charge would be -2.

Which of the following is not a process that forms metallic ore
Kamila [148]

 

I believe that this question has the following choices to choose from:

placer deposits

fossil compaction

hydrothermal solutions

igneous processes

 

Actually among all, I have never encountered an ore that formed due to fossil compaction. I suppose we can get minerals such as marble or lime but not ores. So the answer is:

 

<span>fossil compaction                (answer)</span>

A person weighing 645 N climbs up a ladder to a height of 4.55 m what is the increase in gravitational energy
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer: 2934.75 Joules

Explanation:

Potential energy can be defined as energy possessed by an object or body due to its position.

Mathematically, potential energy is given by the formula;

<em>P.E = mgh</em>

Where P.E represents potential energy measured in Joules.

m represents the mass of an object.

g represents acceleration due to gravity measured in meters per second square.

h represents the height measured in meters.

Given the following data;

Weight =645

Height = 4.55

<em>P.E = mgh</em>

But we know that weight = mg = 645N

Substituting into the equation, we have;

<em>P.E = 645 • 4.55</em>

<em>P.E = 2934.75J</em>

Potential energy, P.E = 2934.75 Joules.
