Sally and Sam are in a spaceship that comes to within 17,000 km of the asteroid Ceres. Determine the force Sally experiences, in

N, due to the presence of the asteroid. The mass of the asteroid is 8.7 1020 kg and the mass of Sally is 80 kg. For calculation purposes, assume the two objects to be point masses.

Answer:

0.01606 Newtons

Explanation:

r = Distance between the asteroid and Sally = 17000000 m

m₁ = Mass of the asteroid = 8.7× 10²⁰ kg

m₂ = Mass of Sally = 80 kg

G = Gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²

From Newton's Universal law of gravity

F=G\frac{m_1m_2}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow F=6.67\times 10^{-11}\times \frac{8.7\times 10^{20}\times 80}{17000000^2}\\\Rightarrow F=0.01606\ N

The force Sally experiences is 0.01606 Newtons

In a certain process, the energy change of the system is 250 \rm kJ. The process involves 480 \rm kJ of work done by the system.
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

\Delta Q=-230kJ

Explanation:

Using the first law of thermodynamics:

\Delta U=\Delta Q-W

Where \Delta U is the change in the internal energy of the system, in this case  \Delta U=250kJ, \Delta Q is the heat tranferred, and W is the work,  W=-480kJ with a negative sign since the work is done by the system.

From the previous equation we solve for heat, because it is the unknown variable in this problem

\Delta Q=\Delta U +W

And replacing the known values:

\Delta Q=250kJ +(-480kJ)

\Delta Q=250kJ -480kJ

\Delta Q=-230kJ

The negative sign shows us that the heat is tranferred from the system into the surroundings.

How much potential energy does a 40n block medicine ball gain when it is lifted 5.m
MAVERICK [17]
By definition, the gain in PE (potential energy) is
ΔPE = m*g*h

Given:
mg = 40 N  (Note that m*g = weight)
h = 5 m

ΔPE = (40 N)*(5 m) =200 J

Answer: 200 J
