Answer:

Its duration is 1.85*10⁻³ s or 1.85 ms

Explanation:

The intensity of electric current I is defined as the amount of electric charge Q (measured in Coulombs) that passes through a section of a conductor in each unit of time. The letter I is used to name the Intensity and its unit is the Ampere (A).

The intensity of electric current is expressed as:

$I=\frac{Q}{t}$

where:

I: Intensity expressed in Amps (A)

Q: Electric charge expressed in Coulombs (C)

t: Time expressed in seconds (s)

Being:

I= 19500 A
Q=36 C
t=?

Replacing:

$19500 A=\frac{36 C}{t}$

Solving:

19500 A*t= 36 C

$t=\frac{36 C}{19500 A}$

t= 1.85*10⁻³ s= 1.85 ms (being 1 s= 1,000 ms)

<u><em>Its duration is 1.85*10⁻³ s or 1.85 ms</em></u>

A 86 kg human stands on the surface of Venus. The mass of Venus is 4.9 × 1024 kg and its radius is 6.1 × 106 m. Collapse questio

Answer:

755.37 N

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of venus= $m_1=4.9\times 10^{24}kg$

Radius= $r=6.1\times 10^6$ m

Mass of human= $m_2=86 kg$

We know that the gravitational force between two bodies

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

Where G=Gravitational constant= $6.67\times 10^{-11}Nm^2/kg^2$

Using the formula

The magnitude of the gravitational force exerted by Venus on the human= $F=\frac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 86\times 4.9\times 10^{24}}{(6.1\times 10^6)^2}$

The magnitude of the gravitational force exerted by Venus on the human=F= $755.37N$

For a moon orbiting its planet, rp is the shortest distance between the moon and its planet andra is the longest distance betwee

Natasha2012 [34]

Answer: D. 0.57

Explanation:

The formula to calculate the eccentricity $e$ of an ellipse is (assuming the moon's orbit in the shape of an ellipse):

$e=\frac{r_{a}-r_{p}}{r_{a}+r_{p}}$

Where:

$r_{a}$ is the apoapsis (the longest distance between the moon and its planet)

$r_{p}=0.27 r_{a}$ is the periapsis (the shortest distance between the moon and its planet)

Then:

$e=\frac{r_{a}-0.27 r_{a}}{r_{a}+0.27 r_{a}}$

$e=\frac{0.73 r_{a}}{1.27 r_{a}}$

$e=0.57$ This is the moon's orbital eccentricity

What is a Current (amp)

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

Amp – an ampere a the unit for measuring electricity. The rate at which electricity flows is measured as an electric current. The electric current is measured in Amps.

1. The diagram shows a satellite traveling in uniform circular motion around the Earth.

FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

M V R = constant angular momentum is constant because no forces act in the direction of V

Since M (mass) = constant

V R = constant

The force is directed along the gravitational force vector (towards the center of rotation)
