(Please help ASAP) A new planet MPSM, Mystery Planet of Spartan Men, is discovered following the orbital path of the Mystery Pla

net of Amazon Women. The gravitational field of the MPSM is measured during a satellite fly-by as 1.33 m/s2 at a distance of 5 planetary radii from the center of MPSM. What is the expected strength of the planet's gravity on its surface?

Answer:

33.25 m/s^2

Explanation:

The strength of the gravitational field produced by a planet at a distance r from the centre of the planet is given by

g=\frac{GM}{r^2}

where

G is the gravitational constant

M is the mass of the planet

r is the distance from the centre of the planet

We can rewrite the equation as

gr^2 = GM

And since the term on the right is constant, we can write

g_1 r_1^2 = g_2 r_2^2

where g_1,g_2 are the strength of the gravitational field measured at two difference distances r1, r2.

In this problem we have:

g_1 = 1.33 m/s^2 when the distance is 5 planetary radii, so

r_1 = 5R

where R is the planetary radius.

Therefore, at the surface,

r_2 =R

And the strength of the gravitational field is

g_2 = \frac{g_1 r_1^2}{r_2^2}=\frac{(1.33)(5R)^2}{R^2}=(1.33)(25)=33.25 m/s^2

The voltage V in a simple electrical circuit is slowly decreasing as the battery wears out. The resistance R is slowly increasin
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

The current in the circuit decrease slowly .

Explanation:

Given as :

For the electrical circuit

The voltage V in the circuit is slowly decreasing

The resistance R of the resistor slowly increasing after heating

Now, From Ohm's Law

Voltage is directly proportional to the flow of current through circuit

I.e V ∝ I

Or. V = R × I

where R is the proportionate constant and this is the resistance of the resistor

whose property is to opposes the flow of current in the circuit

So, If R value more then current I reduces in the circuit

∵ Here in the circuit ,  The resistance is slowly increasing, so, current I is slowly decreasing .

Hence The current in the circuit decrease slowly . answer

A research team developed a robot named Ellie. Ellie ran 1,000 meters for 200 seconds from the research building, rested for 100
Verizon [17]

Answer:

1. Running velocity (5 m/s)

2. Resting velocity (0 m/s)

3. Walking velocity (-1 m/s)

1. Running speed (5 m/s)

2. Walking speed (1 m/s)

3. Resting speed (0 m/s)

Explanation:

Attached you will find the plot of position vs time of Ellie´s movement.

The velocity is the displacement of the object over time relative to the system of reference. The speed, in change, is the traveled distance over time in disregard of the system of reference.

So, the velocity is calculated as follows:

v = Δx / Δt

where

Δx = final position - initial position

Δt = elapsed time

1) The average velocity of Ellie while running is:

v = 1000 m - 0 m / 200 s = 5 m/s

While resting:

v = 0 m - 0 m / 100 s = 0 m/s

And while walking back:

v = 0 m - 1000 m / 1000 s = - 1 m/s

Note that in this last case, the initial position is 1000 m because Ellie is 1000 m from the origin of the system of reference when she walks back. The final position will be the origin of the system of reference, 0 m.

Comparing with the graphic, the velocity is the slope of the function position(t).

Then:

1. Running velocity (5 m/s)

2. Resting velocity (0 m/s)

3. Walking velocity (-1 m/s)

2) The speed is the distance traveled over time:

Running speed = 1000 m / 200 s = 5m /s

Resting speed = 0 m / 100 s = 0 m/s

Walking speed = 1000 m/ 1000 s = 1 m/s

Then:

1. Running speed (5 m/s)

2. Walking speed (1 m/s)

3. Resting speed (0 m/s)

The popular GPS devices that people use to find directions while driving use which type of satellite system?
inessss [21]

The popular GPS devices that people use to find directions while driving use "Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)".

<u>Explanation:</u>

The umbrella term for all global satellite tracking systems is GNSS i.e Global Satellite Navigation System. This involves satellite constellations circulating over the surface of the earth and continuous signal transmission that allow users to evaluate their location.

A satellite array of 18–30 medium Earth Orbit (MEO) satellites distributed across several orbital planes typically achieves greater coverage for each network. The specific systems differ, but use > 50 ° orbital inclinations and approximately twelve hours orbital cycles.
