The starship Enterprise approaches the planet Risa at a speed of 0.8c relative to the planet. On the way, it overtakes the inter

galactic freighter Astra. The relative speed of the two ships as measured by the navigator on the Enterprise is 0.5c. At what speed is Astra approaching the planet?

Answer:

<em>0.3c</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

The speed of Enterprise relative to Risa is 0.8c

Relative speed of both ships as measured from Enterprise is 0.5c

therefore, relative speed of Astra to Enterprise is 0.8c - 0.5c = <em>0.3c</em>

<em>this is also the relative speed with which Astra approaches the planet Risa since Enterprise's speed was calculated relative to Risa.</em>

How is grounding a positive object different from grounding a negative object?
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

Grounding a Positively Charged Object

Electrons were transferred from the electroscope to the ground. As in the case of grounding a negatively charged electroscope, the grounding of a positively charged electroscope involves charge sharing. The excess positive charge is shared between the electroscope and the ground.

A person can jump 1.5m on the earth. How high could the person jump on a planet having the twice the mass of the earth and twice
MrMuchimi
F=mg=Gm1m2/r^2
g=Gm2/r^2
g=2Gm2/(2r)^2=2Gm2/4r^2=Gm2/2r^2
So since there is half times the gravity on this unknown planet that has twice earth's mass and twice it's radius, then the person can jump twice as high. 1.5*2= 3m high

What is the reaction force of the table with a weight of 558N
Delicious77 [7]

Answer: reaction force = -558N

Explanation:

w = f = 558N

since action force and reaction force are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction,

reaction force = -(f)

reaction force = -558N

if that helps.

Answer:

A. nuclear fusion reactions

C. it's still hot from the big bang

Explanation:

The inside of the earth is hot due to some reasons. This heat provides the internal energy the drives processes within the earth interior. Here are some of the ways in which the heat has accumulated:

  • Nuclear reactions within the earth interior by fusion and other radioactive processes releases a large amount of heat.
  • Some heat accreted during the early formation of the earth and has not been lost till this day.
  • Heating due to friction

These are some of the sources of the earth's internal heat.
