No, because gravitational fields go on forever.

No . . . the earth's gravitational force is a requirement of the satellite maintaining orbit around the planet . . . without it, you could expect the satellite to just float on being earth like a comet passing by

Jim is driving a 2268-kg pickup truck at 22 m/s and releases his foot from the accelerator pedal. The car eventually stops due t

shutvik [7]

Answer:

610 meters.

Explanation:

Because Jim released the accelerator, the truck started to slow down, so the friction force will eventually stop the truck.

the kinetic energy of the truck just after Jim released the pedal is:

$E_k=\frac{1}{2}*m*v^2\\E_k=\frac{1}{2}*2268*(22)^2=548856J$

The work done by the friction force is given by:

$W_f=F_s*d\\\\d=\frac{548856J}{900N}\\\\d=610m$

During an experiment of momentum, trolley, X, of mass (2.34 ± 0.01) kg is moving away from another trolley, Y, of mass (2.561 ±

Alla [95]

Answer:

P = 1 (14,045 ± 0.03 ) k gm/s

Explanation:

In this exercise we are asked about the uncertainty of the momentum of the two carriages

Δ (Pₓ / Py) =?

Let's start by finding the momentum of each vehicle

car X

Pₓ = m vₓ

Pₓ = 2.34 2.5

Pₓ = 5.85 kg m

car Y

Py = 2,561 3.2

Py = 8,195 kgm

How do we calculate the absolute uncertainty at the two moments?

ΔPₓ = m Δv + v Δm

ΔPₓ = 2.34 0.01 + 2.561 0.01

ΔPₓ = 0.05 kg m

Δ $P_{y}$ = m Δv + v Δm

ΔP_{y} = 2,561 0.01+ 3.2 0.001

ΔP_{y} = 0.03 kg m

now we have the uncertainty of each moment

P = Pₓ / $P_{y}$

ΔP = ΔPₓ/P_{y} + Pₓ ΔP_{y} / P_{y}²

ΔP = 8,195 0.05 + 5.85 0.03 / 8,195²

ΔP = 0.006 + 0.0026

ΔP = 0.009 kg m

The result is

P = 14,045 ± 0.039 = (14,045 ± 0.03 ) k gm/s

What is the angle of the 2nd order bright fringe produced by two slits that are 8.25x10-5m apart if the wavelength of the incide

dexar [7]

In order to calculate the angle, we can use the formula below for a constructive interference (the interference is constructive because the fringe is bright):

$d\sin\theta=m\lambda$

Where d is the distance between the slits, m is the order of the interference and lambda is the wavelength.

So, using d = 8.25 * 10^-5, m = 2 and lambda = 4.5 * 10^-7, we have:

$\begin{gathered} 8.25\cdot10^{-5}\cdot\sin\theta=2\cdot4.5\cdot10^{-7}\\ \\ \sin\theta=\frac{9\cdot10^{-7}}{8.25\cdot10^{-5}}\\ \\ \sin\theta=1.091\cdot10^{-2}\\ \\ \theta=0.625° \end{gathered}$

Therefore the correct option is the second one.
