A spaceship orbiting earth flies to the moon. How is the gravitational force pulling on the spaceship related to the distance th

at the spaceship is from the earth?
A. As the distance from the earth increases, the gravitational pull on the spaceship would decrease.


B. The gravitational pull of the earth is constant and therefore the gravitational pull on would not change.


C. As the distance from the earth decreases, the gravitational pull on the spaceship would decrease.


D. There is no gravity on the moon and therefore only the earth will exert gravitational force on the spaceship.

A is Correct, because as you increase the distance  between the spaceship and Earth the gravitational force would be less and according to Isaac Newton's Gravitational formula F = (G Mm)/r^2, the distance r is in inverse relationship to the Force.

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

(a): The car's relative position to the base of the cliff is x= 32.52m.

(b): The lenght of the car in the ir is tfall= 1.78 sec.

Explanation:

Vo= 0

V= ?

d= 50m

h= 30m

a= 4 m/s²

t= √(2*d/a)

t= 5 sec

V= a*t

V= 20 m/s

Vx= V * cos(24º)

Vx= 18.27 m/s

Vy= V* sin(24º)

Vy= 8.13 m/s

h= Vy*t + g*t²/2

clearing t:

tfall= 1.78 sec (b)

x= Vx * tfall

x= 32.52 m (a)

Rocks A and B are located at the same height on top of a hill. The mass of rock A is twice the mass of rock B. How does the pote
Ronch [10]

Potential energy is defined by formula

U = mgh

here

m = mass

g = acceleration due to gravity

h = height

Now here two different stones are located at same height

while mass of stone A is twice that of stone B

so here we can say potential energy of A is

U_a = (2m)gh

Similarly potential energy of B is

U_b = mgh

now if we take the ratio of two energy

\frac{U_a}{U_b} = 2

so we can say potential energy of stone A is two times the potential energy of B

Give a calculate answer to show that the two values (English system and metric system) for the Planck Constant are equivalent.
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

Given values of Planck Constant are equivalent in English system and metric system.

Explanation:

Value of Planck's constant is given in English system as 4.14 x 10⁻¹⁵eV s.

Converting this in to metric system .

We have 1 eV = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

Converting

     4.14 x 10⁻¹⁵eV s = 4.14 x 10⁻¹⁵x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ = 6.63 x 10⁻³⁴ Joule s

So Given values of Planck Constant are equivalent in English system and metric system.

A 21.7kg child descends a slide 3.5 m high and reaches the bottom with a speed of 2.2m/s. How much thermal energy due to frictio
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

Subtract the kinetic energy at the bottom from the potential energy loss. The remainder becomes frictional heat.

Potential energy loss:

M g H = 21.7*9.81*3.5 = 745.1 J

Kinetic energy at bottom of slide:

= (1/2) M v^2 = 52.5 J

Determine which heat transfers below are due to the process of conduction. I) You walk barefoot on the hot street and it burns y
Rudik [331]

I) You walk barefoot on the hot street and it burns your toes.

The road is in direct contact with your skin. Thermal energy from the road will transfer to the bottom of your feet, then to the rest of your body. This is an example of conduction.


II) When you get into a car with hot black leather in the middle of the summer and your skin starts to get burned.

Just like in the previous example, the hot leather is in direct contact with your skin (I guess if you're going to drive naked). Thermal energy from the leather will transfe to your skin, then to the rest of your body. This is also conduction.


III) A flame heats the air inside a hot air balloon and the balloon rises.

The flame heats air directly at the bottom of the balloon. The warm air expands and becomes less dense. This will rise and let the unheated, denser air in the balloon fall down toward the flame. This is an example of the convection cycle.


IV) A boy sits to the side of a campfire. He is 10 feet away, but still feels warm.

The campfire heats air directly nearby. The warm air expands and moves away from the fire in all directions, leaving behind unheated, denser air to be heated up. Some of the warm air reaches the boy. This is another example of convection.


The answer is A) 1 and 2.
