Answer:

v / √5

Explanation:

Centripetal acceleration = acceleration due to gravity

v² / r = GM / r²

v² = GM / r

If the radius is increased to 5r:

u² = GM / (5r)

u² = v² / 5

u = v / √5

which of these chemical formulas represents two elements whose atoms have joined together with an ionic bond? A. O2 B. CaO C.NeN

cupoosta [38]

B: CaO
Because Calcium is a Metal and Oxygen is a Non-Metal. Ionic bonds are only formed with a Metal and a Non-Metal element.

Would time travel mean that parallel universes would be created off our linear time sequence to ensure the universe doesn't coll

MatroZZZ [7]

In theroy, yes. But time travel has yet to happen and thus, we dont know. I would assume that that if an alternate universe were NOT created, it would cause a rip in the fabic of time creating a worm hole and allowing all entitys to pass through simultaneously,and that would cause great stress on it, possibly causing it to rip large enough to encase the whole universe and it would implode.

How does a large star create the elements? at what element does the star stop making new elements?

Dahasolnce [82]

They are fused in the core of the star due to great pressures and temperatures. They are made all the way through iron. At that point the star dies. If it is a really large star it will become a supernova when it dies, creating all of the elements beyond iron as well, but only in its death. No star can create anything beyond iron in its life cycle

A 125-kg astronaut (including space suit) acquires a speed of 2.50 m/s by pushing off with her legs from a 1900-kg space capsule

ryzh [129]

(a) 0.165 m/s

The total initial momentum of the astronaut+capsule system is zero (assuming they are both at rest, if we use the reference frame of the capsule):

$p_i = 0$

The final total momentum is instead:

$p_f = m_a v_a + m_c v_c$

where

$m_a = 125 kg$ is the mass of the astronaut

$v_a = 2.50 m/s$ is the velocity of the astronaut

$m_c = 1900 kg$ is the mass of the capsule

$v_c$ is the velocity of the capsule

Since the total momentum must be conserved, we have

$p_i = p_f = 0$

$m_a v_a + m_c v_c=0$

Solving the equation for $v_c$ , we find

$v_c = - \frac{m_a v_a}{m_c}=-\frac{(125 kg)(2.50 m/s)}{1900 kg}=-0.165 m/s$

(negative direction means opposite to the astronaut)

So, the change in speed of the capsule is 0.165 m/s.

(b) 520.8 N

We can calculate the average force exerted by the capsule on the man by using the impulse theorem, which states that the product between the average force and the time of the collision is equal to the change in momentum of the astronaut:

$F \Delta t = \Delta p$

The change in momentum of the astronaut is

$\Delta p= m\Delta v = (125 kg)(2.50 m/s)=312.5 kg m/s$

And the duration of the push is

$\Delta t = 0.600 s$

So re-arranging the equation we find the average force exerted by the capsule on the astronaut:

$F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}=\frac{312.5 kg m/s}{0.600 s}=520.8 N$

And according to Newton's third law, the astronaut exerts an equal and opposite force on the capsule.

(c) 25.9 J, 390.6 J

The kinetic energy of an object is given by:

$K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where

m is the mass

v is the speed

For the astronaut, m = 125 kg and v = 2.50 m/s, so its kinetic energy is

$K=\frac{1}{2}(125 kg)(2.50 m/s)^2=390.6 J$

For the capsule, m = 1900 kg and v = 0.165 m/s, so its kinetic energy is

$K=\frac{1}{2}(1900 kg)(0.165 m/s)^2=25.9 J$

Amy throws a softball through the air. What are the different forces acting on the ball while it’s in the air?

aniked [119]

An applied force is a force that is applied to an object by a person or another object.
An attractive force is a force of an attraction (where object are attracted by each other). Gravitation is an example of attractive force.
Normal force is the component, perpendicular to the surface (surface being a plane) of contact.
The softball experiences an applied force as a result of Amy’s throw. As the ball moves, it experiences attractive force from the air it passes through. It also experiences a downward pull because of the normal force.
Solution A.
