A satellite in circular orbit around the Earth moves at constant speed. This orbit is maintained by the force of gravity between

the Earth and the satellite, yet no work is done on the satellite. How is this possible?
a. No work is done if there is no contact between objects.
b. No work is done because there is no gravity in space.
c. No work is done if the direction of motion is perpendicular to the force.
d. No work is done if objects move in a circle.

Answer:

C. No work is done if the direction of motion is perpendicular to the force.

Explanation:

We know that work is the dot product of force and displacement.

Let's take the angle between the force and the displacement = θ

W= F . d cosθ

F=Force  , d=Displacement  

If θ = 0° then W= F.d

If θ = 90° then W= 0

So we can say that when force is perpendicular to the displacement then the work done by force will be zero.

Therefore the answer is C.

what voltage would produce a current of 100A through an aluminum wire that has a resistance of 3.44x10^-4 ohm?
Serga [27]
Voltage = Current x Resistance 
<span>Voltage(?) = 100 x 1.98x10^-4 ohms </span>

<span>Voltage = Current x Resistance </span>
<span>Voltage(?) = 250 x 2.09x10^-4 ohms </span>

<span>Voltage = Current x Resistance </span>

A body weighing 250 grams was dropped from a helicopter flying at an altitude of 100 meters. Determine the potential energy of t
kogti [31]

Answer:

the potential energy of this body is 245 J.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the body, m = 250 g = 0.25 kg

height from which the body was dropped, h = 100 m

acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

The potential energy of this body is calculated as;

P.E = mgh

substitute the given values and solve for the potential energy of this body;

P.E = 0.25 x 9.8 x 100

P.E = 245 J.

Therefore, the potential energy of this body is 245 J.

A flashlight contains a battery of two cells in series, with a bulb of resistance 12 Ohms. The internal resistance of each cell
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

1.5024

Explanation:

Draw a diagram. Put the two cells in series. Now draw 3 resistors. Two of them equal 0.26 ohms each. The third one is the lightbulb which is 12 ohms.

R = 0.26 + 0.26 + 12 = 12.52

The bulb has a voltage of 2.88 volts across it. You can get the current from that.

i = E / R

i = 2.88 / 12 =

i = 0.24 amps.

Now you can get the voltage drop across the two cells.

E = ?

R = 0.26

i = 0.24 amps

E = 0.26 * 0.24

E = 0. 0624

Finally divide the 2.88 by 2 to get 1.44

Each cell has an emf of 1.44 + 0.0624 = 1.5024
