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

Squids and octopuses propel themselves by expelling water. They do this by keeping water in a cavity and then suddenly contracti

Alex

Answer:

A) The speed of the water must be 8.30 m/s.

B) Total kinetic energy created by this maneuver is 70.12 Joules.

Explanation:

A) Mass of squid with water = 6.50 kg

Mass of water in squid cavuty = 1.55 kg

Mass of squid = $m_1=6.50 kg- 1.55 kg=4.95 kg$

Velocity achieved by squid = $v_1=2.60 m/s$

Momentum gained by squid = $P=m_1v_1$

Mass of water = $m_2=1.55 kg$

Velocity by which water was released by squid = $v_2$

Momentum gained by water but in opposite direction = $P'=m_2v_2$

P = P'

$m_1v_1=m_2v_2$

$v_2=\frac{m_1v_1}{m_2}=\frac{4.95 kg\times 2.60 m/s}{1.55 kg}=8.30 m/s$

B) Kinetic energy does the squid create by this maneuver:

Kinetic energy of squid = K.E = $\frac{1}{2}m_1v_1^{2}$

Kinetic energy of water = K.E' = $\frac{1}{2}m_2v_2^{2}$

Total kinetic energy created by this maneuver:

$K.E+K.E'=\frac{1}{2}m_1v_1^{2}+\frac{1}{2}m_2v_2^{2}$

$=\frac{1}{2}\times 4.95 kg\times (2.60 m/s)^2+\frac{1}{2}\times 1.55 kg\times (8.30 m/s)^2=70.12 Joules$

(a) what is the system of interest if the acceleration of the child in the wagon is to be calculated? (select all that apply.)

Leno4ka [110]

since child is moving along with the wagon and we need to find the acceleration of child inside that wagon then in this case the system of interest must be child + wagon

System of interest will be the system that is used to find the force or acceleration using Newton's law

Here we have to assume that system on which if we will calculate the forces then the net value of force on that system will help to calculate the unknown quantities

So here our system will be boy + wagon
