Answer:

The magnetic force on a free moving charge depends on the velocity of the charge and the magnetic field, direction of the force is given by the right hand rule. While gravitational depends on the mass and distance of the moving particle and electric forces depends on the magnitude of the charge and distance of separation.

Explanation:

The magnetic force on a free moving charge depends on the velocity of the charge and the magnetic field and direction of the force is given by the right hand rule. While gravitational depends on the mass and distance of the moving particle and electric forces depends on the magnitude of the charge and distance of separation.

The magnetic force is given by the charge times the vector product of velocity and magnetic field. While gravitational force is given by the square of the particle mass divided by the square its distance of separation. Also electric forces is given by the square of the charge magnitude divided by the square its distance separation.

Determine W (or fuel energy) required to launch a satellite of mass m at rest from a launching pad placed at the surface earth,

jeka57 [31]

Answer:

5. 9GmM/(10R)

Explanation:

m is the mass of the satellite

M is the mass of the earth

W is the energy required to launch the satellite

Energy at earth surface = Potential energy (PE) + W

W = Energy at earth surface - Potential energy (PE)

But PE = $-\frac{GMm}{R}$

Therefore: W = Energy at earth surface - $\frac{GMm}{R}$

Energy at earth surface (E) at an altitude of 5R = $-\frac{GMm}{5r} +\frac{1}{2}mV^2$

But $V=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{5R} }$

Therefore: $E=-\frac{GMm}{5R}+\frac{1}{2}m(\sqrt{\frac{GM}{5R} } )^2= -\frac{GMm}{5R}+\frac{GMm}{10R} = -\frac{GMm}{10R}$

W = E - PE

$W=-\frac{GMm}{10R}-(-\frac{GMm}{R})=-\frac{GMm}{10R}+\frac{GMm}{R}=\frac{9GMm}{10R} \\W=\frac{9GMm}{10R}$

The potential energy stored in the compressed spring of a dart gun, with a spring constant of 32.50 N/m, is 0.640 J. Find by how

liraira [26]

Answer:

$x = 0.198456 \ m$

$h = 1.3061 \ m$

$v = 5.06 \ m/s$

$d = 4.0273 \ m$

Explanation:

Considering the first question

From the question we are told that

The spring constant is $k = 32.50 N/m$

The potential energy is $PE = 0.640 \ J$

Generally the potential energy stored in spring is mathematically represented as $PE = \frac{1}{2} * k * x^2$

=> $0.640= \frac{1}{2} * 32.50 * x^2$

=> $x = \sqrt{0.03938}$

=> $x = 0.198456 \ m$

Considering the second question

From the question we are told that

The mass of the dart is m = 0.050 kg

Generally from the law of energy conservation

$PE = mgh$

=> $0.640 = 0.050 * 9.8 * h$

=> $h = 1.3061 \ m$

Considering the third question

The height at which the dart was fired horizontally is $H = 3.90\ m$

Generally from the law of energy conservation

$PE = KE$

Here KE is kinetic energy of the dart which is mathematical represented as

$KE = \frac{1}{2} * mv^2$

=> $0.640 = \frac{1}{2} * 0.050 * v^2$

=> $v^2 = 25.6$

=> $v = 5.06 \ m/s$

Considering the fourth question

Generally the total time of flight of the dart is mathematically represented as

$t = \frac{ 2 * H }{g}$

=> $t = \frac{ 2 * 3.90 }{9.8 }$

=> $t = 0.7959 \ s$

Generally the horizontal distance from the equilibrium position to the ground is mathematically represented as

$d = v * t$

=> $d = 5.06 * 0.7959$

=> $d = 4.0273 \ m$
