Derive an expression for the energy needed to launch an object from the surface of Earth to a height h above the surface.Ignorin
Sergio [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Potential energy on the surface of the earth

= - GMm/ R

Potential at height h

=  - GMm/ (R+h)

Potential difference

= GMm/ R -  GMm/ (R+h)

= GMm ( 1/R - 1/ R+h )

= GMmh / R (R +h)

This will be the energy needed  to launch an object from the surface of Earth to a height h above the surface.

Extra  energy is needed to get the same object into orbit at height h

= Kinetic energy of the orbiting object at height h

= 1/2 x potential energy at height h

= 1/2 x GMm / ( R + h)

Researcher measures the thickness of a layer of benzene (n = 1.50) floating on water by shining monochromatic light onto the fil
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

Minimum thickness; t = 9.75 x 10^(-8) m

Explanation:

We are given;

Wavelength of light;λ = 585 nm = 585 x 10^(-9)m

Refractive index of benzene;n = 1.5

Now, let's calculate the wavelength of the film;

Wavelength of film;λ_film = Wavelength of light/Refractive index of benzene

Thus; λ_film = 585 x 10^(-9)/1.5

λ_film = 39 x 10^(-8) m

Now, to find the thickness, we'll use the formula;

2t = ½m(λ_film)

Where;

t is the thickness of the film

m is an integer which we will take as 1

Thus;

2t = ½ x 1 x 39 x 10^(-8)

2t = 19.5 x 10^(-8)

Divide both sides by 2 to give;

t = 9.75 x 10^(-8) m

How can the rate of a reaction be decreased?
andre [41]

Answer:

Option A

Lowering the amount of reactants

Explanation:

To reduce the rate of chemical reaction, one can reduce temperature or surface area. The addition of catalysts increases rate of reaction but decreasing the amount of reactants decreases rate of reaction. Therefore, from the choices provided, choice A is correct.

A cannon at rest fires a 32.5 kg cannonball forward at 388 m/s. After firing, the cannon recoils at 7.42 m/s. What is the mass o
Bond [772]

Answer:

1700 kg

Explanation:

Let’s use conservation of momentum

32.5 * 388 = 7.42 * mc

mc = 1699.46

mc = 1700 kg

A circular loop ( radius = 0.5 m) carries a current of 3.0 A and has unit normal vector of (2i - j +2k)/3 what is x component of
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

T=9.42Nm

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Radius r= 0.5 m

Current I= 3.0 A

Normal vector n=\frac{(2i - j +2k)}{3}

Magnetic field B= (2i-6j) T

Generally the equation for Area is mathematically given by

 A=\pi r^2

 A=3.1415 *0.5^2

 A=0.7853 m^2

Generally the equation for Torque is mathematically given by

 T=A(i'*B)

Where

 i'*B= \begin{bmatrix}2&-1&2\\2&-6&0\end{bmatrix}

 X\ component\ of\ i'*B= [(-1 * 0)-(2*-6)]

 X\ component\ of\ i'*B=12

Therefore

 T=0.7853*12

 T=9.42Nm
