After the NEAR spacecraft passed Mathilde, on several occasions rocket propellant was expelled to adjust the spacecraft's moment

um in order to follow a path that would approach the asteroid Eros, the final destination for the mission. After getting close to Eros, further small adjustments made the momentum just right to give a circular orbit of radius 45 km (45 × 103 m) around the asteroid. So much propellant had been used that the final mass of the spacecraft while in circular orbit around Eros was only 545 kg. The spacecraft took 1.04 days to make one complete circular orbit around Eros. Calculate what the mass of Eros must be:

irakobra [83]

Answer:

1.2 amps :)

Explanation:

A heater has a resistance of 10.0 Ω. It operates on a 12.0 V. What is the current through the resistor?

         Known:

  • R = 10.0 Ω                            
  • V = 12.0 V

       Unknown:

  • I = ???

I = V/R

= 12.0 V / 10.0 Ω

= 1.2 amps

If the mass of the sun is 1x, at least one planet will fall into the habitable zone if I place a planet in orbits___, ____, ____
nasty-shy [4]

If the mass of the sun is 1x, at least one planet will fall into the habitable zone. if I place a planet in orbits 2, 6, and 75, and all planets will orbit the sun successfully.

If the mass of the sun is 2x, at least one planet will fall into the habitable zone. if I place a planet in orbits 84, 1, and 5, and all planets will orbit the sun successfully.

If the mass of the sun is 3x, at least one planet will fall into the habitable zone if I place a planet in orbits 672, and 7 and all planets will orbit the sun successfully.

An example of acceleration
TEA [102]

Answer:

Explanation:

Newton’s Second Law of Motion says that acceleration (gaining speed) happens when a force acts on a mass (object). Riding your bicycle is a good example of this law of motion at work. Your bicycle is the mass.

One gram of Uranium averages release 1.01 KJ (10^7) of energy. How much mass could be converted to energy to release this much e
frutty [35]

Answer:

The amount of mass that needs to be converted to release that amount of energy is 1.122 X 10^{-7}  kg

Explanation:

From Albert Einstein's Energy equation, we can understand that mass can get converted to energy, using the formula

E= \Delta mc^{2}

where \Delta m = change in mass

c = speed of light = 3 \times 10 ^{8}m/s

Making m the subject of the formula, we can find the change in mass to be

\Delta m = \frac{E}{c^{2}}= \frac{1.01 \times 10^{3} \times 10^{7}}{(3 \times 10^{8})^{2}}= 1.122 \times 10 ^{-7}kg

There fore, the amount of mass that needs to be converted to release that amount of energy is 1.122 X 10 ^-7 kg

What is the gravitational potential energy of a 65.7 kg person standing on the roof of a 135 meter building?
horrorfan [7]
For the purpose we will use the following equation for potential energy:
U = m * g * h
In the above equation, m represents the mass of the object, h represents the height of the object and g represents the gravitational field strength (9.8 N/kg on Earth).
When we plug values into the equation, we get following:
U= 65.7kg * 9.8 N/kg *135m = 86921.1 J = 86.92 kJ
