n deep space, sphere A of mass 47 kg is located at the origin of an x axis and sphere B of mass 110 kg is located on the axis at

x = 3.4 m. Sphere B is released from rest while sphere A is held at the origin. (a) What is the gravitational potential energy of the two-sphere system just as B is released? (b) What is the kinetic energy of B when it has moved 2.6 m toward A?

Answer:

a)-1.014x 10^{-7J

b)3.296 x  10^{-7J

Explanation:

For Sphere A:

mass 'Ma'= 47kg

xa= 0

For sphere B:

mass 'Mb'= 110kg

xb=3.4m

a)the gravitational potential energy is given by

U_{i = -GMaMb/ d

U_{i= - 6.67 x 10^{-11} x 47 x 110/ 3.4 => -1.014x 10^{-7J

b) at d= 0.8m (3.4-2.6) and U_{i=-1.014x 10^{-7J

The sum of potential and kinetic energies must be conserved as the energy is conserved.

K_{i + U_{i= K_{f + U_{f

As sphere starts from rest and sphere A is fixed at its place, therefore K_{i is zero

U_{i= K_{f + U_{f

The final potential energy is

U_{f= - GMaMb/d

Solving for 'K_{f '

K_{f = U_{i + GMaMb/d => -1.014x 10^{-7 + 6.67 x 10^{-11} x 47 x 110/ 0.8

K_{f = 3.296 x  10^{-7J

A positively charged objectwith a mass of 0.114 kg oscillates at the end of a spring, generating ELF (extremely low frequency) r
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

  • k = 167.33 N/m

Explanation:

  • The radio waves have a fixed relationship between the propagation speed (the speed of light in vacuum), the frequency and the wavelength, as follows:
  • v = c = λ*f

        where c= speed of light in vacuum = 3*10⁸ m/s, λ = wavelength =  

        4.92*10⁷ m.

        Solving for f, we get the frequency of the radio waves:

        f = 6.1 Hz

  • Now, from the Hooke's law, we know that the mass attached at the end of the spring oscillates with an angular frequency defined by  a fixed relationship between the spring constant k and the mass m, as follows:

       \omega_{o}^{2} =\frac{k}{m}  (1)

  • Now, we know that there exists a fixed relationship between the angular frequency and the frequency, as follows:

       \omega = 2*\pi *f (2)    

  • We also know that f in (2) is the same that we got for the radio waves, so replacing (2) in (1), and rearranging terms, we can solve for k, as follows:
  • k = 4*\pi ^{2}*f^{2} *m = 4*\pi ^{2} * (6.1Hz)^{2} * 0.114 kg = 167.33 N/m

Plan an experiment to measure the ideal mechanical advantage of a three-hole punch. (a) What materials would you need? (b) What
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

A) Three hole punch and either a layered plastic or paper

B) Identify the lengths involved  ,

  Length of input arm / length of output arm = L1/ L2

Explanation:

<u>a) Materials involved includes :</u>

Three hole punch and either a layered plastic or paper

Identify the forces acting on the three-hole punch which are Input and output forces

Identify the points where they act

<u>B) procedures involved </u>

The mechanical advantage = output force / input force

step one:  Identify the lengths involved

assuming no friction or relatively small friction \

mechanical advantage can be calculated as : Length of input arm / length of output arm = L1/ L2

What is the correct equation for calculating the average atomic mass for 3 isotopes? (pls be 100%of your answer pls no guessing)
mariarad [96]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>The correct equation for measuring the average microscopic weight  for 3 isotopes is multiply the rate of abundance by each weight and add them.</em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the average microscopic mass of element using weights and relative abundance we have to follow the following steps.

  • Take the correct weight of each isotope (that will be in decimal form)
  • Multiply the weight of each isotope by its abundance
  • Add each of the results together.

<em>This gives the required  average microscopic weight of the three isotopes.</em>

Kim’s experiment showed that chicken eggshells were stronger when she gave the hen feed, to which extra calcium had been added.
astraxan [27]

The step of this scientific method is "draw conclusion".

<h3>What is scientific method?</h3>

The scientific method is the process of objectively establishing facts through testing and experimentation.

The basic scientific process or scientific method involves the following;

  • making an observation
  • forming a hypothesis
  • making a prediction
  • conducting an experiment
  • analyzing the results and
  • drawing conclusion.

Thus, if Kim’s experiment showed that chicken eggshells were stronger when she gave the hen feed, to which extra calcium had been added. The step of this scientific method is "draw conclusion".
