Answer:

Explanation:

Mass of satellite

M_s = 361 kg

Distance of satellite from moon

h = 147 km = 147,000m

Radius of the moon is

R_m = 1740 km = 1740,000m

Mass of the moon is

M_m = 7.36 × 10²² kg.

The kinetic energy is equal to the potential energy of the body to the surface of the moon from the conservation of energy.

K.E = P.E = mgh

Gravity on moon is g = 1.62 m/s²

K.E = 361 × 1.62 × 147,000

K.E = 8.597 × 10^7 J.

B. The gravitational potential energy can be calculated using

U = G•M_s × M_m (1/R_s - 1 / R)

R is the total distance from the centre of the moon to the satellite

R = h + R_m = 147 + 1740 = 1887km

R = 1,887,000 m

U = 6.67 × 10^-11 × 361 × 7.36 × 10²² (1/1,740,000 - 1/1,887,000)

U = 6.67 × 10^-11 × 361 × 7.36 × 10²² × 4.48 × 10^-8

U = 7.93 × 10^7 J

Then,

The total energy becomes

E = K.E + U

E= 8.597 × 10^7 + 7.93 × 10^7 J

E = 1.653 × 10^8 J

A charge Q acts on a point charge to create an electric field. Its strength, measured a distance of 40 cm away is 100 N/C. What

KIM [24]

Answer:

$E_2=80N/C$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Initial Distance $d_1=40cm=>0.4m$

Initial Electric field strength $E_1=100N/C$

Final Distance $d_2=20cm=>0.20m$

Generally the equation for Electric field is mathematically given by.

$E=\frac{kq}{d^2}$

$q=\frac{100*(0.4)^2}{K}$

Substituting q for $d=20cm$

$E_2=\frac{k}{0.2}*\frac{100*(0.4)^2}{K}$

$E_2=80N/C$

A que profundidad esta nadando una persona dentro de una alberca si la presión absoluta sobre ésta es de 156kPa?

lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

La persona está nadando en la alberca a una profundida de 5.575 metros.

Explanation:

La presión absoluta ( $P_{tot}$ ) experimentada por la persona es la suma de la presión atmosférica ( $P_{atm}$ ) y la presión hidrostática de la columna de agua de la alberca ( $P_{h}$ ), medidas en kilopascales. Es decir,

$P_{tot} = P_{atm}+P_{h}$ (1)

$P_{tot} = P_{atm} + \frac{\rho\cdot g \cdot z}{1000}$ (2)

Donde:

$\rho$ - Densidad del fluido de la alberca, medida en kilogramos por metro cúbico.

$g$ - Aceleración gravitacional, medida en metros por segundo al cuadrado.

$z$ - Profundidad de la persona en la alberca, medida en metros.

Si sabemos que $P_{atm} = 101.325\,kPa$ , $\rho = 1000\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}}$ , $g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ y $P_{tot} = 156\,kPa$ , entonces la profundidad de la persona en la alberca es:

$156 = 101.325 +\frac{(1000)\cdot (9.807)\cdot z}{1000}$

$54.675 = 9.807\cdot z$

$z = 5.575\,m$

La persona está nadando en la alberca a una profundida de 5.575 metros.

Determine the average distance between the Earth and the Sun. Then calculate the average speed of the Earth in its orbit in kilo

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

The average speed of the Earth in its orbit is 4.74 km/s.

Explanation:

Distance between the Earth and the Sun ,r= 149.60 million km = $149.60\times 10^6 km$

Considering the movement of Earth around the Sun follows circular path.

The circumference of circular path will be give by :

$D=2\pi r=2\times 3.14\times 149.60\times 10^6 km$

Time taken by Earth to complete revolution around earth ,T= 1 year

1 year = 365 days

1 year = 31,536,000 seconds

T = 31,536,000 seconds

Speed of the Earth around the Sun :S

$S=\frac{D}{T}=\frac{149.60\times 10^6 km}{31,536,000 s}$

$S=4.74 km/s$

The average speed of the Earth in its orbit is 4.74 km/s.
