Answer:

Speed Unchanged.

Explanation:

As work is defined as a product of force over a distance. If the distance in altitude is constant = 500km, there's 0 change in distance and force, no work would be done by the gravitational force.

Since potential energy of the satellite is unchanged, unless there's additional internal energy source, the kinetic energy would remain unchanged, so would its speed.

A stone is dropped from the edge of a roof, and hits the ground with a velocity of -180 feet per second. How high (in feet) is t

Neko [114]

Answer:

d = 506.25 ft

Explanation:

As we know by kinematics that

$v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d$

here we know that initially the stone is dropped from rest from the edge of the roof

so here initial speed will be zero

now we have

$v_i = 0$

also the acceleration of the stone is due to gravity which is given as

$g = 32 ft/s^2$

now we have

$v_f = 180 ft/s$

so from above equation

$180^2 - 0 = 2(32)d$

$d = 506.25 ft$

A train that has wheels with a diameter of 91.44 cm (36 inches used for 100 ton capacity cars) slows down from 82.5 km/h to 32.5

podryga [215]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

The initial velocity = u = 82.5 km/h = 22.92 m/s, the final velocity = 32.5 km/h = 9.03 m/s, diameter = 91.55 cm = 0.9144 cm

radius (r) = diameter / 2 = 0.9144 / 2= 0.4572 m

a) Initial angular velocity ( $\omega_o$ ) = u /r = 22.92 / 0.4572 = 50.13 rad/s, final velocity (ω) = v / r = 9.03 / 0.4592 = 19.67 rad / s

θ = 95 rev * 2πr = 95 * 2π * 0.4572= 272.9 rad

angular acceleration (α) is:

$\omega^2=\omega_o^2+2\alpha \theta\\\\19.67^2-50.13^2=2\alpha(272.9)\\\\19.67^2=50.13^2+2\alpha(272.9)\\\\2\alpha(272.9)=-2126.108\\\\\alpha=-3.89\ rad/s^2\\\\$

$\omega=\omega_o+\alpha t\\\\19.67=50.13+(-3.89t)\\\\3.89t=50.13-19..67\\\\3.89t=30.46\\\\t=7.83\ s$

c) θ = 95 rev * 2πr = 95 * 2π * 0.4572= 272.9 rad

a) When it stops, the final angular velocity is 0. Hence:

$\omega^2=\omega_o^2+2\alpha \theta\\\\0=50.13^2+2(-3.89)\theta\\\\2(3.89)\theta=50.13^2\\\\2(3.89)\theta=2513\\\\\theta=323\ rad\\\\revolutions=\frac{\theta}{2\pi r}=\frac{323}{2\pi(0.4572)} =112.4\ rev$

θ = 323 rad

A spherical conductor is inside a uniform electric field with a magnitude of 1000 N/C to the right. What is the magnitude and di

Lyrx [107]

Answer:

1.-E=1000N/C to the LEFT

2.-The electric field inside a conductor in electrostatic state is always zero (conductor proprieties).

3.-The voltmeter read 0V as differential voltage between two points from the conductor

Explanation:

1.The electric field inside the conductor must be zero (conductor proprieties). Then the charges create a electric field equal an opposite to the external electric field. In other words E=1000N/C to the LEFT

2. The electric field inside a conductor in electrostatic state is always zero. As shown in the figure the electric field induced by the charges in the sphere surface cancelled the EXTERN electric field.

3.If the Electric field inside the conductor is zero, that means that the Voltage in the hole conductor is constant (conductor proprieties). In other words the the voltmeter read 0v as differential voltage between two points from the conductor.

professor190 [17]

Answer:

A. polymerization

Explanation:

Synthetic plastics are made by linking many simple carbon molecules together to form much larger molecules. This process is called polymerization.

Synthetic or artifical giant molecules consists of synthetic polymers such as plastics, elastomers etc. They are made up of simple monomers which links to form the complex and giant structure.

Monomers are the simplest unit of polymers. Polymers have very great sizes. The size mkaes their structure quite complex. This makes the molecules more disposed in a regular pattern with respect to one another.

The complexity of structure and the attendant effects accounts for the properties and uses that makes synthetic molecules very unique. For example, plastics can be extruded as sheets, pipes and or moulded into other objects.
