Which process changes light energy to heat? Question 6 options: refraction absorption reflection none of the above

In the far future, astronauts travel to the planet Saturn and land on Mimas, one of its 62 moons. Mimas is small compared with t

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

a) $h_{max}=14536.16 m$

b) $h = 15687.9 m$

c) $PD=7.62\%$ The estimate is low.

Explanation:

a) Using the energy conservation we have:

$E_{initial}=E_{final}$

we have kinetic energy intially and gravitational potential energy at the maximum height.

$\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}=mgh_{max}$

$h_{max}=\frac{v^{2}}{2g}$

$h_{max}=\frac{43^{2}}{2*0.0636}$

$h_{max}=14536.16 m$

b) We can use the equation of the gravitational force

$F=G\frac{mM}{R^{2}}$ (1)

We have that:

$F = ma$ (2)

at the surface G will be:

$G=\frac{gR^{2}}{M}$

Now the equation of an object at a distance x from the surface.

is:

$F=\frac{mgR^{2}}{(R+x)^{2}}$

$m\frac{dv}{dt}=\frac{mgR^{2}}{(R+x)^{2}}$

Using that dv/dt is vdx/dt and integrating in both sides we have:

$v_{0}=\sqrt{\frac{2gRh}{R+h}}$

$h=\frac{v_{0}^{2}R}{2gR-v_{0}^{2}}$

$h=15687.9$

c) The difference is:

So the percent difference will be:

$PD=|\frac{14536.16-15687.9}{(14536.16+15687.9)/2}*100%$

$PD=7.62\%$

The estimate is low.

I hope it helps you!

Explain the difference between mass and weight. Also, what happens to your mass and your weight if you were to travel to the moo

melisa1 [442]

Weight can be explained as the force with which the gravity pulls an object. Your weight will not be the same in all planets. In moon, you will weigh far lesser than how much you weigh on the earth. However, in earth and in the moon, your mass will remain the same.

Global positioning satellites (GPS) can be used to determine your position with great accuracy. If one of the satellites is 20,0

o-na [289]

Answer:

0.00001 %

Explanation:

The distance from satellite = 20000 km

Position range = 2 m

The percentage uncertainty is given by dividing the distance from satellite by the position range of desired accuracy.

Percentage uncertainty is given by

$\dfrac{2}{20000\times 10^3}\times 100=0.00001\ \%$

The percentage uncertainty that is required is 0.00001 %

The medium at point P will?

Tanya [424]

<h2>Answer: remain stationary</h2>

Stationary waves (so called because they seem to be immobile) occur when two waves interfere with the <u>same frequency, amplitude but with different direction</u>, along a line with a phase difference of half wavelength.

In this kind of waves there are two types of points:

The nodes, which are points that remain motionless or stationary and do not vibrate. They are due to the destructive interference of both waves when they meet.

The antinodes, which are points that vibrate with a maximum vibration amplitude. They are due to the non-destructive interference of both waves.

According to this explanation and comparing it with the description, when this two waves pass through each other, the point P will become a node, hence<u> it will remain stationary</u>.

A biker going around a circular track at constant speed is accelerating. Why?

avanturin [10]

For acceleration, there needs to be three factors that come into play. Either the change in velocity is increasing, decreasing, or it is changing direction. On a circular track, the direction is always changing. Which fits one of the three factors. So your answer would be A.
