Answer:

7572 m/s

Explanation:

The force between two masses separated by a distance r is given as:

$F=G\frac{m_1m_2}{r^2}$

Where F is the attractive force between 2 masses, m1 and m2, r is the distance between the centres of the masses and G is the universal gravitation constant, which is $6.674*10^-11 Nm^2/kg^2$

The mass of the earth ( $m_1$ ) is far greater than the mass of the sputnik ( $m_2$ ). Therefore $m_1m_2=m_1$ . The mass of the sputnik is neglected, therefore:

$F=G\frac{m_1}{r^2}=\frac{(6.674*10^{-11})(5.98*10^{24})}{(6.96*10^6)^2} = 8.2389N$

But F is actually centripetal acceleration, a = v²/r

$8.2389 = v^2 / 6.96*10^6\\v=7572m/s$

1. You wish to heat 20 kg of water from 40°C to 80°C. How many kcal of heat are necessary to do this? To how many kJ does this c

adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

<h2>3,343.68kJ </h2>

Explanation:

Heat energy used up can be calculated using the formula:

H = mcΔt

m = mass oof the object (in kg) = 20kg

c = specific heat capacity of water = 4179.6J/kg°C

Δt change in temperature = 80-40 = 40°C

H= 20* 4179.6 * 40

H = 3,343,680Joules

H = 3,343.68kJ

A car with a mass of 1380 Kg is traveling at 23 m/s to the north. A truck with a mass of 1625 Kg is traveling at 26 m/s to the s

trasher [3.6K]

Answer: -3.49 m/s (to the south)

Explanation:

This problem can be solved by the Conservation of Momentum principle which establishes the initial momentum $p_{i}$ must be equal to the final momentum $p_{f}$ , and taking into account this is aninelastic collision:

Before the collision:

$p_{i}=mV_{o}+MU_{o}$ (1)

After the collision:

$p_{f}=(m+M)V_{f}$ (2)

Where:

$m=1380 kg$ is the mass of the car

$V_{o}=23 m/s$ is the velocity of the car, directed to the north

$M=1625 kg$ is the mass of the truck

$U_{o}=-26 m/s$ is the velocity of the truck, directed to the south

$V_{f}$ is the final velocity of both the car and the truck

$p_{i}=p_{f}$ (3)

$mV_{o}+MU_{o}=(m+M)V_{f}$ (4)

Isolating $V_{f}$ :

$V_{f}=\frac{mV_{o}+MU_{o}}{m+M}$ (5)

$V_{f}=\frac{(1380 kg)(23 m/s)+(1625 kg)(-26 m/s)}{1380 kg+1625 kg}$ (6)

Finally:

$V_{f}=-3.49 m/s$ The negative sign indicates the direction of the velocity is to the south

What is the acceleration of a 10kg pushed by a 5n force

Semenov [28]

Force equals mass times acceleration. Or:
F=ma
Plug it in:
5=10a
5/10=(10a)/10
.5m/s²=a

What is a transverse wave? How do the particles in the medium move in relation to the energy of the wave? Does this wave require

Pani-rosa [81]

A transverse wave is a wave where the particles in the medium move perpendicular (at right angles) to the direction of the source or its propagation (think of a snake slithering through grass) an example of a transverse wave could be a light wave. Light waves for instance don’t need a medium in order to propagate but transverse waves in general do need a medium.
