Answer:

Venus

Explanation:

To know the correct answer to the question, we shall determine the weight of the space probe on each planet to see which will correspond to 3560 N.

This is illustrated below:

For Mercury:

Mass = 400 Kg

Gravitational force = 3.7 N/Kg

Weight =?

Weight = mass × gravitational force

Weight = 400 × 3.7

Weight = 1480 N

For Venus:

Mass = 400 Kg

Gravitational force = 8.9 N/Kg

Weight =?

Weight = mass × gravitational force

Weight = 400 × 8.9

Weight = 3560 N

For Earth:

Mass = 400 Kg

Gravitational force = 9.8 N/Kg

Weight =?

Weight = mass × gravitational force

Weight = 400 × 9.8

Weight = 3920 N

For Neptune:

Mass = 400 Kg

Gravitational force = 11 N/Kg

Weight =?

Weight = mass × gravitational force

Weight = 400 × 11

Weight = 4400 N

For Jupiter:

Mass = 400 Kg

Gravitational force = 23.1 N/Kg

Weight =?

Weight = mass × gravitational force

Weight = 400 × 23.1

Weight = 9240 N

SUMMARY:

Planet >>>>>> Weight

Mercury >>>> 1480 N

Venus >>>>>> 3560 N

Earth >>>>>>> 3920 N

Neptune >>>> 4400 N

Jupiter >>>>>> 9240 N

From the above calculations, we can see that the weight of the space probe (i.e 3560 N) correspond to the weight on venus (i.e 3560 N)

For the PE formula, why is the height required for calculations? Why do we need to know the height in order to determine PE? *
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

Answer in Explanation

Explanation:

Whenever we talk about the gravitational potential energy, it means the energy stored in a body due to its position in the gravitational field. Now, we know that in the gravitational field the work is only done when the body moves vertically. If the body moves horizontally on the same surface in the Earth's Gravitational Field, then the work done on the body is considered to be zero. Hence, the work done or the energy stored in the object while in the gravitational field is only possible if it moves vertically. This vertical distance is referred to as height. <u>This is the main reason why we require height in the P.E formula and calculations.</u>

The derivation of this formula is as follows:

Work = Force * Displacement

For gravitational potential energy:

Work = P.E

Force = Weight = mg

Displacement = Vertical Displacement = Height = h

Therefore,

P.E = mgh

A circuit consists of a series combination of 6.50 −kΩ and 4.50 −kΩ resistors connected across a 50.0-V battery having negligibl
Vlada [557]

Answer:

Part A: 16.1 V

Part B: 20.5 V

Part C: 21.5%

Explanation:

The voltmeter is in parallel with the 4.5-kΩ resistor and the combination is in series with the 6.5-kΩ resistor. The equivalent resistance of the parallel combination is given as

\dfrac{1}{R_E}=\dfrac{1}{4.50}+\dfrac{1}{10.0}

R_E=\dfrac{4.50\times10.0}{4.50+10.0} = 3.10

Part A

The voltmeter reading is the potential difference across the parallel combination. This is found by using the voltage-divider rule.

V_1 = \dfrac{3.10}{3.10+6.50}\times50.0 = \dfrac{3.10}{9.60}\times50.0 = 16.1 \text{ V}

Part B

Without the voltmeter, the potential difference across the 4.5-kΩ resistor is found using the same rule as above:

V_2 = \dfrac{4.50}{4.50+6.50}\times50.0 = \dfrac{4.50}{11.0}\times50.0 = 20.5 \text{ V}

Part C

The error in % is given by

\dfrac{20.5-16.1}{20.5}\times100\% = \dfrac{4.4}{20.5}\times100\% = 21.5\%
