The spacecraft is orbiting at 2000 Km. The engine has to put it on 4000 km altitude, therefore the engine has to push it into another 2000 km, so that it will attain the 4000 km altitude.

Given. Gravitational pull of planet Mars g = 3.71 m/s²

            Mass of the spacecraft m = 5000 kg

Formula: W = fd   F = mg    

               W = mgh

               W = (5000 Kg)(3. 71 m/s²)(2 x 10⁶m)

               W = 3.71 x 10¹⁰ J

The following graph shows the force exerted on and the displacement of object being pulled
Tomtit [17]

The work done to pull the object 7.0 m is the total area under the graph from 0.0 m to 7.0 m, determined as 245 J.

<h3>Work done by the applied force</h3>

The area under force versus displacement graph is work done.

The total work done by pulling the object 7 m, can be grouped into two areas;

  • First area, A1 = area of triangle from 0 m to 2.0 m
  • Second area, A2 = area of trapezium, from 2.0 m to 7.0 m

A1 = ¹/₂ bh

A1 = ¹/₂ x (2) x (20)

A1 = 20 J

A2 = ¹/₂(large base + small base) x height

A2  = ¹/₂[(7 - 2) + (7-3)] x 50

A2 = ¹/₂(5 + 4) x 50

A2 = 225 J

<h3>Total work done </h3>

W = A1 + A2

W = 20 J + 225 J

W = 245 J

Which of the following correctly describe electric field lines?
Xelga [282]

-- Electric field lines DO never cross.  <em>(A) </em>

-- Electric field lines that are close together DO indicate a stronger electric field. <em>(B) </em>

-- Electric field lines DO not affect the charge that created them.  <em>(C)</em>

-- Electric field lines DON'T begin on north poles and end on south poles.  North and South "poles" are the way we talk about magnets, not electric charges.

Explain: What happens to the velocity of a stream as the size of the sediment increases?
artcher [175]

Answer:

Also, as stream depth increases, the hydraulic radius increases thereby making the stream more free flowing. Both of these factors lead to an increase in stream velocity. The increased velocity and the increased cross-sectional area mean that discharge increases.
