In 2014, the Rosetta space probe reached the comet Churyumov Gerasimenko. Although the comet's core is actually far from spheric

al, in this problem we'll model it as a sphere with a mass of 1.0 × 1013 kg and a radius of 1.6 km. If a rock were dropped from a height of 1.0 m above the comet's surface, how long would it take to hit the surface?

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to gravity according to the Newtonian definitions. From finding this value we will use the linear motion kinematic equations to find the time. Our values are

Comet mass M = 1.0*10^{13} kg

Radius r = 1.6km = 1600 m

Rock was dropped from a height 'h' from surface = 1m

The relation for acceleration due to gravity of a body of mass 'm' with radius 'r' is

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

Where G means gravitational universal constant and M the mass of the planet

g = \frac{(6.67408*10^{-11})(1*10^{13})}{1600^2}

g = 2.607*10^{-4} m/s^2

Now calculate the value of the time

h = \frac{1}{2} gt^2

t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}

t = \sqrt{\frac{2(1)}{2.607*10^{-4}}}

t = 87.58s

The time taken for the rock to reach the surface is t = 87.58s

A 50 Ohm resistance causes a current of 5 milliamps to flow through a circuit connected to a battery. What is the power in the c
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:0.00125 watts

Explanation:

resistance=50 ohms

Current=5 milliamps

Current=5/1000 milliamps

Current =0.005 amps

power=(current)^2 x (resistance)

Power=(0.005)^2 x 50

Power=0.005 x 0.005 x 50

Power=0.00125 watts

A sound wave has a speed of 330m/s and a wavelength of 0.372 m. what is the frequency of the wave?
Alja [10]

Answer:

887.1Hz

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Speed of sound wave  = 330m/s

Wavelength  = 0.372m

Unknown:

Frequency  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use the expression below:

             Speed  = Frequency x wavelength

            330  = Frequency x 0.372

   Frequency  = 887.1Hz

What is the velocity of a car that travels -50 meters in 5 seconds then 10 meters in 5 seconds
diamong [38]

Answer:

2 m/s

Explanation:

The first part of the question the car is going in reverse or negative along the x axis. Then the second part the car is moving forward along the x axis. So the car would only have velocity in the current direction of movement. So our equation for velocity is as follows.

v = d/t

v = 10 m/5 s

v = 2 m/s
