The gravitational force between two objects is given by:
F=G \frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}
where
G is the gravitational constant
m1 and m2 are the masses of the two objects
r is the separation between the two objects

The distance of the telescope from the Earth's center is r=6940 km=6.94 \cdot 10^6 m, the gravitational force is F=9.21 \cdot 10^4 N and the mass of the Earth is m_1=5.98 \cdot 10^{24} kg, therefore we can rearrange the previous equation to find m2, the mass of the telescope:
m_2 =  \frac{Fr^2}{Gm_1}= \frac{(9.21 \cdot 10^4 N)(6.94\cdot 10^6)^2}{(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})(5.98\cdot 10^{24})} =11121 kg

Calculate the de Broglie wavelength of (a) a mass of 1.0 g traveling at 1.0 m s−1 , (b) the same, traveling at 1.00 × 105 km s−1
lesantik [10]

Answer:

a)\lambda=6.63\times10^{-31}m

b)\lambda=6.63\times10^{-39}m

c)\lambda=9.97\times10^{-11}m

d)\lambda=4.03\times10^{-36}m

e)λ=∞

Explanation:

De Broglie discovered that an electron or other mass particles can have a wavelength associated, and that wavelength (λ) is:

\lambda=\frac{h}{P}=\frac{h}{mv}

with h the Plank's constant (6.63\times10^{-34}\frac{m^{2}kg}{s}) and P the momentum of the object that is mass (m) times velocity (v).

a)\lambda=\frac{6.63\times10^{-34}}{(1.0\times10^{-3}kg*1.0)}

\lambda=6.63\times10^{-31}m

b)\lambda=\frac{6.63\times10^{-34}}{(1.0\times10^{-3}*(1.00\times10^{8}))}

\lambda=6.63\times10^{-39}m

c)\lambda=\frac{6.63\times10^{-34}}{(6.65\times10^{-27}*1000)}

\lambda=9.97\times10^{-11}m

d)\lambda=\frac{6.63\times10^{-34}}{(74*2.22)}

\lambda=4.03\times10^{-36}m

e) \lambda=\frac{6.63\times10^{-34}}{(74*0)}

λ=∞

Pls help answer embed <br>​
Savatey [412]

Answer:

C = 1.01

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass, m = 75 kg

The terminal velocity of the mass, v_t=60\ m/s

Area of cross section, A=0.33\ m^2

We need to find the drag coefficient. At terminal velocity, the weight is balanced by the drag on the object. So,

Weight of the object = drag force

R = W

or

\dfrac{1}{2}\rho CAv_t^2=mg

Where

\rho is the density of air = 1.225 kg/m³

C is drag coefficient

So,

C=\dfrac{2mg}{\rho Av_t^2}\\\\C=\dfrac{2\times 75\times 9.8}{1.225\times 0.33\times (60)^2}\\\\C=1.01

So, the drag coefficient is 1.01.

Gravitational potential energy has changed from the beginning to the chain just sliding away from the table willl be MgL/24.

<h3>What is gravitational potential energy?</h3>

The energy that an item has due to its location in a gravitational field is known as gravitational potential energy.

Length of hanging part, L/4

The gravitational potential energy is;

Work = Gravitational potential energy

Work done =force×displacement

\rm W = \frac{Mg}{3} \times \frac{L}{8} \\\\ W = \frac{MgL}{24}

Hence, gravitational potential energy has changed from the beginning to the chain just sliding away from the table willl be MgL/24.
