Answer:

If you were to inject air into space what would have happen?

Explanation:

In order for air to defy gravity, it would require atmospheric pressure. But air dosen't defy gravity unless it has the support of atmospheric pressure.

4. A 1,000-kilogram satellite completes a uniform circular orbit of radius 8.0 x 10 meters as

lesantik [10]

Answer:

Zero

Explanation:

The work done by a force on an object is given by:

$W=Fd cos \theta$

where

F is the magnitude of the force

d is the displacement of the object

$\theta$ is the angle between the direction of the force and the displacement of the object

In this situation, the force is the force of gravity acting on the satellite. This force always points towards the centre of the trajectory, so it is always perpendicular to the direction of motion of the satellite (since the orbit is circular), so $\theta=90^{\circ}$ and $cos \theta =0$ . Therefore, the work done by gravity is also zero.

you stop the stopwatch at 4.0 s, but you notice a short time later that the same ant is at 0.81 m on the meter stick. Assuming t

telo118 [61]

The time elapsed since you stopped the stopwatch is 0.41 s.

<em>Your question is not complete, it seems to be missing the following information;</em>

"The velocity of the ant is 2 m/s"

The given parameters;

velocity of the ant, v = 2 m/s

change in position of the ant, Δx = 0.81 m

initial time, t₁ = 4 s

time when the ant was noticed, = t₂

Velocity is defined as the change in displacement per change in time of motion of an object.

$v = \frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t} = \frac{\Delta x}{t_2 - t_1} \\\\t_2 -t_1 = \frac{\Delta x}{v} \\\\t_2 - 4 = \frac{0.81}{2} \\\\t_2 - 4 = 0.405\\\\t_2 = 0.405 + 4\\\\t_2 = 4.405 \approx 4.41 \ s$

The time elapsed since you stopped the stopwatch is calculated as;

$t_{elapsed} = 4.41 \ s - 4\ s = 0.41 \ s$

Thus, the time elapsed since you stopped the stopwatch is 0.41 s.

What angle is formed by the sun, the earth, and the moon during an eclipse?.

Andrew [12]

Answer:

The Sun-Earth-Moon system happens to exhibit a striking geometric coincidence, which we examine in the first problem. PROBLEM 1. To an observer on Earth, the Sun and the Moon subtend almost the same angle in the sky. The average angle is 0.52 degrees for the Moon and 0.53 degrees for the Sun.

What is the wavelength and frequency of a photon emitted by transition of an electron from a n- orbit to a n-1 orbit'?

PolarNik [594]

Answer:

$\lambda=9.12\times 10^{-8}}\times \frac {{{{(n-1)}^2}\times n^2}}{1-2n}\ m$

$\nu=3.29\times 10^{15}\frac{1-2n}{{{(n-1)}^2}\times n^2}}\ s^{-1}$

Explanation:

$E_n=-2.179\times 10^{-18}\times \frac{1}{n^2}\ Joules$

For transitions:

$Energy\ Difference,\ \Delta E= E_f-E_i =-2.179\times 10^{-18}(\frac{1}{n_f^2}-\frac{1}{n_i^2})\ J=2.179\times 10^{-18}(\frac{1}{n_i^2} - \dfrac{1}{n_f^2})\ J$
