We must remember that a body in Earth orbit is under perpetual free fall, that is, that the body moves under a constant speed in constant around the earth.

The moment one of the charges is released, its displacement speed will be equal to that of the ship, so it will tend to continue rotating in the orbit in which the ship was traveling.

The correct answer is D. The payload will remain in the same orbit with the space shuttle.

Find the voltage change when: a. An electric field does 12 J of work on a 0.0001-C charge. b. The same electric field does 24 J
kondaur [170]

Explanation:

Given that,

(a) Work done by the electric field is 12 J on a 0.0001 C of charge. The electric potential is defined as the work done per unit charged particles. It is given by :

V=\dfrac{W}{q}

V=\dfrac{12}{0.0001}

V=12\times 10^4\ Volt

(b) Similarly, same electric field does 24 J of work on a 0.0002-C charge. The electric potential difference is given by :

V=\dfrac{W}{q}

V=\dfrac{24}{0.0002}

V=12\times 10^4\ Volt

Therefore, this is the required solution.

A pebble is thrown into the air with a velocity of 19/m at an angle of 36 with respect to the horizontal.
kow [346]

Answer:

The maximum height the pebble reaches is approximately;

A. 6.4 m

Explanation:

The question is with regards to projectile motion of an object

The given parameters are;

The initial velocity of the pebble, u = 19 m/s

The angle the projectile path of the pebble makes with the horizontal, θ = 36°

The maximum height of a projectile, h_{max}, is given by the following equation;

h_{max} = \dfrac{\left (u \times sin(\theta) \right)^2}{2 \cdot g}

Therefore, substituting the known values for the pebble, we have;

h_{max} = \dfrac{\left (19 \times sin(36 ^{\circ}) \right)^2}{2 \times 9.8} = 6.3633894140470403035477570509439

Therefore, the maximum height of the pebble projectile, h_{max} ≈ 6.4 m.

Two children of about the same weight are playing at the playground. They both climb up to the top of a small tower. One slides
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

D) The overall work done by gravity is zero  

This statement is correct .

If m be the mass of each of the children and h be the height of tower

work done by gravity on the boys in going up = - mgh

it is so because force applied by gravity = mg downwards and displacement

is upwards

work done will be negative = - mgh

Work done by gravity on boys when they come down = + mgh because both force and displacement are downwards .

Hence total work done = - mgh + mgh = 0.

The children will have same kinetic energy as the inclined surface is friction-less so no energy will be dissipated hence addition of energy to boys in both the cases will be same.

Which type of disease cannot be spread from one person to another
aniked [119]

I believe that would be D.

Cardiovascular disease generally refers to conditions that involve narrowed or blocked blood vessels that can lead to a heart attack, chest pain, or stroke. Which it has nothing to do with being infectious.

Compare a cup of hot coffee with the Pacific Ocean. Which statement about thermal energy and temperature is correct?
Keith_Richards [23]
The answer is D

The body of water contains more molecules; more molecules, more kinetic energy, which creates thermal energy. 

The molecules are moving faster is the coffee, so the temperature is higher.
