Question: In which situation would a space probe most likely experience centripetal acceleration?

as it revolves around a planet

as it flies straight past a moon

as it is pulled in a line toward the Sun

as it lifts off from Earth

Answer:

When "space probe revolves around a planet"  most likely to experience centripetal acceleration

Explanation:

Centripetal acceleration defined as the rate in change of tangential velocity. Also, as per Newton's second law, any kind of force will be directly proportional to the acceleration attained by the object. So, for centripetal acceleration, the force will be the centripetal force. The centripetal force will be acting on an object rotating in a circular motion with its direction of force towards the center. Thus, centripetal acceleration will be experienced by an object or a space probe when it is in a circular motion. It means the space probe is revolving around a planet.

The resistance of resistor is greater for:
Monica [59]

Answer:

c: long and thin resistor.

Explanation:

The resistance of a resistor is given by:

R = ρ*L/A

where:

R = resistance

ρ = resistivity (depends on the material)

L =  length of the material

A = cross-sectional area of the material

We can see that the length is on the numerator, which means that if we increase the length, then the resistance is increased.

We also can see that the cross-sectional area is on the denominator, then if we increase the area (for example, with a ticker resistor) the resistance decreases.

Then if we want to maximize the resistance, we need to have a long and thin resistor, so the correct answer is c.

Give an example of where you see the law of conservation of energy in your life
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

The law of conservation of energy can be seen in these everyday examples of energy transference: Water can produce electricity. Water falls from the sky, converting potential energy to kinetic energy.

The cue ball loses energy because the energy it had has been transferred to the 8 ball, so the cue ball slows down

If a rock is thrown upward on the planet Mars with a velocity of 15 m/s, its height above the ground (in meters) after t seconds
s2008m [1.1K]

(a) The velocity (in m/s) of the rock after 1 second is 11.28 m/s.

(b) The velocity of the rock after 2 seconds is 7.56 m/s.

(c) The time for the block to hit the surface is 4.03.

(d) The velocity of the block at the maximum height is 0.

<h3>Velocity of the rock</h3>

The velocity of the rock is determined as shown below;

Height of the rock after 1 second; H(t) = 15(1) - 1.86(1)² = 13.14 m

v² = u² - 2gh

where;

  • g is acceleration due to gravity in mars = 3.72 m/s²

v² = (15)² - 2(3.72)(13.14)

v² = 127.23

v = √127.23

v = 11.28 m/s

<h3>Velocity of the rock when t = 2 second</h3>

v = dh/dt

v = 15 - 3.72t

v(2) = 15 - 3.72(2)

v(2) = 7.56 m/s

<h3>Time for the rock to reach maximum height</h3>

dh/dt = 0

15 - 3.72t = 0

t = 4.03 s

<h3>Velocity of the rock when it hits the surface</h3>

v = u - gt

v = 15 - 3.72(4.03)

v = 0
