Answer:

ΔE = 37.8 x 10^9 J

Explanation:

The energy required will increased the potential energy and increase the kinetic energy.

As the altitude change is fairly small compared to the earth radius, we can ASSUME that the average gravity will be a good representative

Gravity acceleration at altitude would be 9.8(6400²/8000²) = 6.272 m/s²

G(avg) = (9.8 + 6.272)/2 = 8.036 m/s²

ΔPE = mG(avg)Δh = 1000(8.036)(8e6 - 6.4e6) = 12.857e9 J

The centripetal force at orbit must be equal to the gravity force

mv²/R = mg'

v²/8.0e6 = 6.272

v² = (6.272(8.0e6)) = 50.2e6 m²/s²

The maximum velocity when resting on earth at the equator is about 460 m/s.

The change in kinetic energy is

ΔKE = ½m(vf² - vi²)(1000)

ΔKE = ½(1000)(50.2e6 - 460²) = 25e9 J

Total energy increase is

25e9 + 12.857e9 = 37.8e9 J

Answer:

The answer is 20727w

Explanation:

The formula is below;

P = d r^2 v^3 *efficiency

In the question, it is stated that the registration ignores efficiency so we are going to ignore efficiency in the equation and use it this way;

P = d r^2 * v^3

d =4.3, r = 1.59, v =n 12.4

Therefore, P = 4.3 X 1.59^2  X 12.4^3 = 20727W

Which quantities indicate a direction and a magnitude?<br>Check all that apply.​
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

Vector, in physics, a quantity that has both magnitude and direction. It is typically represented by an arrow whose direction is the same as that of the quantity and whose length is proportional to the quantity's magnitude. Although a vector has magnitude and direction, it does not have position.

Explanation:

The only thing I found in my notes for this question was this although it isn't in your choices, I just hope this helps you and hope you get it right!

LiRa [457]
You find net charge by subtracting the number of electrons from the number of protons (since protons are positive and electrons are negative). 9 - 10 = -1

A motor cycle travelling at 10 m/s accelerates at 4m/s(squared) for 8s.
Sever21 [200]


10 x 4^2 = 160 / 8..

V = 20m/s...

...x 8 = 100 miles,meters, metric what ever m stands for after 8 seconds.

This is my guess since the problem says 4m/s^2

V= distance/ ST (traveled/used)

Intensity, E follows inverse square law.

E α  1/r²

r is the distance.

So if the distance r is increased by 3, the intensity would be reduced by 3²

3² = 9

So the answer is nines times as low.  C.
