Answer:

Explanation:

Potential energy on the surface of the earth

= - GMm/ R

Potential at height h

=  - GMm/ (R+h)

Potential difference

= GMm/ R -  GMm/ (R+h)

= GMm ( 1/R - 1/ R+h )

= GMmh / R (R +h)

This will be the energy needed  to launch an object from the surface of Earth to a height h above the surface.

Extra  energy is needed to get the same object into orbit at height h

= Kinetic energy of the orbiting object at height h

= 1/2 x potential energy at height h

= 1/2 x GMm / ( R + h)

A woman pushes a 27 kg lawnmower at a steady speed. She exerts a 120 N force in a direction 35◦ below the horizontal. The accele
nikklg [1K]

The vertical force exerted on the lawn is 68.8 N downward

Explanation:

The vertical force exerted by the lawnmower on the lawn is equal to the vertical component of the force applied, therefore:

F_y = F sin \theta

where

F is the magnitude of the force applied

\theta is the angle between the direction of the force and the horizontal

In this problem:

F = 120 N

\theta=-35^{\circ}

Substituting,

F_y = (120)(sin 30)=-68.8 N

where the negative sign means the direction of the force is downward.

A conducting loop has an area of 0.065 m2 and is positioned such that a uniform magnetic field is perpendicular to the plane of
aev [14]

Answer:

initial magnetic field  1.306 T

Explanation:

We have given area of the conducting loop A=0.065m^2

Emf induced = 1.2 volt

Initial magnetic field B = 0.3 T

Time dt = 0.087 sec

We know that induced emf is given by e=\frac{d\Phi }{dt}=-A\frac{db}{dt}

1.2=0.065\times \frac{db}{0.087}

db=1.606T

So initial magnetic field = 1.606-0.3= 1.306 T

An accelerator produces a beam of protons with a circular cross section that is 2.0 mm in diameter and has a current of 1.0 mA.
rewona [7]

Answer:

the number density of the protons in the beam is 3.2 × 10¹³ m⁻³

Explanation:

Given that;

diameter D = 2.0 mm

current I = 1.0 mA

K.E of each proton is 20 MeV

the number density of the protons in the beam = ?

Now, we make use of the relation between current and drift velocity

I = MeAv ⇒ 1 / eAv

The kinetic energy of protons is given by;

K = \frac{1}{2}m_{p}v²

v = √( 2K / m_{p} )

lets relate the cross-sectional area A of the beam to its diameter D;

A = \frac{1}{4}πD²

now, we substitute for v and A

n = I / \frac{1}{4}πeD² ×√( 2K / m_{p} )

n = 4I/π eD² × √(m_{p} / 2K )

so we plug in our values;

n = ((4×1.0 mA)/(π(1.602×10⁻¹⁹C)(2mm)²) × √(1.673×10⁻²⁷kg / 2×( 20 MeV)(1.602×10⁻¹⁹ J/ev )

n =  1.98695 × 10¹⁸ × 1.6157967  × 10⁻⁵

n = 3.2 × 10¹³ m⁻³  

Therefore, the number density of the protons in the beam is 3.2 × 10¹³ m⁻³

One of the most studied objects in the night sky is the Crab nebula, the remains of a supernova explosion observed by the Chines
erica [24]

Answer:

The angular speed of the Crab nebula pulsar is 190.3 rad/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Time T= 33 ms = 0.033 s

The angular speed is equal to the 2π divided by time period.

We need to calculate the angular speed of the Crab nebula pulsar

Using formula of angular speed

\omega=\dfrac{2\pi}{T}

Where, T = time

\omega = angular speed

Put the value into the formula

\omega=\dfrac{2\pi}{0.033}

\omega=190.3\ rad/s

Hence, The angular speed of the Crab nebula pulsar is 190.3 rad/s.
