Answer:

Voltage= 9.4 V

Current= 1.3 A

Explanation:

Equivalent resistance will be the sum of two resistors hence

R_{equ}=2+7.2=9.2Ω

From Ohm's law, V=IR where I is current, R is equivalent resistance and V is voltage

Terminal voltage will be given by V=e-Ir where r is internal resistance, I is current and e is electromotive force.

From Ohm's law, current is given by dividing emf of the battery by the equivalent resistance hence

I=\frac {e}{R_{equ}}\\I=\frac {12}{9.2}=1.304347826A\approx 1.3A

This is the current through external resistor

Terminal voltage will be given by V=e-Ir hence V=12-(1.3*2)=9.4 V

The Hubble Space Telescope orbits the Earth at approximately 612,000m altitude. Its mass is 11,100 kg and the mass of earth is 5
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

7.55 km/s

Explanation:

The force of gravity between the Earth and the Hubble Telescope corresponds to the centripetal force that keeps the telescope in uniform circular motion around the Earth:

G\frac{mM}{R^2}=m\frac{v^2}{R}

where

G=6.67\cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1} s^{-2} is the gravitational constant

m=11,100 kg is the mass of the telescope

M=5.97\cdot 10^{24} kg is the mass of the Earth

R=r+h=6.38\cdot 10^6 m+612,000 m=6.99\cdot 10^6 m is the distance between the telescope and the Earth's centre (given by the sum of the Earth's radius, r, and the telescope altitude, h)

v = ? is the orbital velocity of the Hubble telescope

Re-arranging the equation and substituting numbers, we find the orbital velocity:

v=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{R}}=\sqrt{\frac{(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})(5.97\cdot 10^{24} kg)}{6.99\cdot 10^6 m}}=7548 m/s=7.55 km/s

A 100 kg bag of sand has a weight on 100 N. When dropped its acceleration is what?
Lyrx [107]
100N describes the weight of the sandbag, while 100kg is the mass of the sandbag.

To calculate acceleration, divide your weight by the mass, thus the accleration is:

100N/100kg = 1(m/s^2)

Explain what happens to the particles in a substance during a physical change.
omeli [17]

Answer:

In physical changes no new materials are formed and the particles do not change apart from gaining or losing energy. ... Particles stay the same unless there is a chemical change whether the matter is solid, liquid or gas. Only their arrangement, energy and movement changes.

Explanation:

Hope this helps

What are the units of acceleration?
Marina86 [1]

Acceleration is any change in speed or direction of motion.

The dimension of speed is [length/time],
so a change is [length/time²].

Popular units include [meter/second²] and [feet/second²] .
________________________

Direction almost always boils down to an angle, (which technically
has no dimensions), so a change in direction is  [angle/time] .

Popular units include [radian/second] and [degree/second] .
