Providing that it does not collide with another object, what is the most likely reason that an object moving through space would

change velocity?
Physics

<em>GRAVITY !</em>

The object doesn't have to collide or even TOUCH something else in order to feel a gravitational force toward it.

If there's a gravitational force between the space object and ANYTHING else, (and there always is !), then that force will change the object's speed or direction of motion.

nika2105 [10]

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

An atom has an atomic number 17 and atomic mass number 35. How many neutrons are present in its nucleus?
Anna [14]
The number of <span>neutrons that are present in its nucleus is 18. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the second option or option "B". Mass number minus the atomic number gives the number of neutrons. I hope that this is the answer that has come to your help.</span>

A MEMS-based accelerometer has a mass of m = 2 grams, an equivalent spring constant of k = 5 N/m, and an equivalent damping coef
pychu [463]

Answer:

The natural frequency = 50 rad/s = 7.96 Hz

Damping ratio = 0.5

Explanation:

The natural frequency is calculated in this manner

w = √(k/m)

k = spring constant = 5 N/m

m = mass = 2 g = 0.002 kg

w = √(5/0.002) = 50 rad/s

w = 2πf

50 = 2πf

f = 50/(2π) = 7.96 Hz

Damping ratio = c/[2√(mk)] = 0.1/(2 × √(5 × 0.002)) = 0.5

Two trains travel toward each other on the same track, beginning 100 miles apart. One train travels at 40 miles per hour; the ot
Paladinen [302]

D = distance between th two trains at the start of the motion = 100 miles

V = speed of the faster train towards slower train = 60 mph

v = speed of the slower train towards faster train = 40 mph

t = time taken by the two trains to collide = ?

time taken by the two trains to collide is given as

t = D/(V + v)

t = 100/(60 + 40) = 1 h

v' = speed of the bird = 90 mph

d = distance traveled by the bird

distance traveled by the bird is given as

d = v' t

d = 90 x 1

d = 90 miles
