Express the kinetic energy K in terms of the potential energy U. K=GMm/2R

Physics
1 answer:

Answer:

K = -½U

Explanation:

From Newton's law of gravitation, the formula for gravitational potential energy is;

U = -GMm/R

Where,

G is gravitational constant

M and m are the two masses exerting the forces

R is the distance between the two objects

Now, in the question, we are given that kinetic energy is;

K = GMm/2R

Re-rranging, we have;

K = ½(GMm/R)

Comparing the equation of kinetic energy to that of potential energy, we can derive that gravitational kinetic energy can be expressed in terms of potential energy as;

K = -½U

diamong [38]

In the first direct detection of gravitational waves by LIGO in 2015, the waves came from the merger of two black holes. Option B is correct. This is further explained below.

<h3>What are gravitational waves?</h3>

A gravitational wave is simply defined as a ripple in space that is unseen though extremely rapid. Gravitational waves move at light speed. As they pass past, these waves compress and stretch everything in their path.

In conclusion, the merger of two black holes is the first direct detection of gravitational waves.

Cells that remain as sources of other cells are called
inna [77]
They are called stem cells. This cells are undifferentiated which means it can specialize in other types when it receives the right stimuli. They can divide through mitoses and become more stem cell or become a bone, muscle, blood cell, etc.

They can have 2 origins: embryos or some human tissue; their function is to regenerate or substitute damaged cells

Luda [366]
  • Answer:

<em>12,25 km/h</em>

<em>≈ 3,4 m/s </em>

  • Explanation:

<em>v = d/t</em>

<em>= 12250m/h</em>

<em>= 12,25km/h</em>

<em>or</em>

<em>v = d/t</em>

<em>= 12250m/h</em>

<em>1h = 60m×60s = 3600s</em>

<em>= 12250m/3600s</em>

<em>≈ 3,4 m/s </em>

How do you compare the energies of the different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum?
faltersainse [42]

The different types of radiation in electromagnetic spectrum are compared by the amount of energy found in the photons.

Radio waves have photons with low energies, microwave photons have a little more energy than radio-waves. Infrared photons still have more energy, then comes visible, ultraviolet, x-rays and the most energetic of all, gamma rays.

The energy associated with electromagnetic radiation is proportional to frequency and inversely proportional to wavelength. So, electromagnetic waves with shorter wavelengths have more energy.

On one end of the electromagnetic spectrum are radio waves, which have wavelengths billions of times longer than those of visible light. On the other end of the spectrum are gamma rays with wavelengths billions of times smaller than those of visible light.
