If two rocks with masses of 1 and 10 kilograms. What is the relation between their inertias Between their masses Between their w

Arada [10]

Greater the mass greater is inertia. Greater the inertia greater is the force required to stop motion of an object. Linear motion depends only on mass whereas rotational motion depends on mass, size and shape of an object. So conclusion is that it would be difficult to stop 10 kg mass cuz of greater inertia compared to 1kg mass. Hope it clears your doubt.

How does the temperature of water affect the speed of the sound waves?

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

Temperature is also a condition that affects the speed of sound. Heat, like sound, is a form of kinetic energy. Molecules at higher temperatures have more energy, thus they can vibrate faster. Since the molecules vibrate faster, sound waves can travel more quickly.

Observe yourself breathing and count the number of times you inhale per second. During each breath you probably inhale 0.66 L of

Pavel [41]

To solve this exercise it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Robert Boyle's law where:

$PV=nRT$

Where,

P = Pressure

V = Volume

T = Temperature

n = amount of substance

R = Ideal gas constant

We start by calculating the volume of inhaled O_2 for it:

$V = 21\% * 0.66L$

$V = 0.1386L$

Our values are given as

P = 1atm

T=293K $R = 0.083145kJ*mol^{-1}K^{-1}$

Using the equation to find n, we have:

$PV=nRT$

$n = \frac{PV}{RT}$

$n = \frac{(1)(0.1386)}{(0.0821)(293)}$

$n = 5.761*10^{-3}mol$

Number of molecules would be found through Avogadro number, then

$\#Molecules = 5.761*10^{-3}*6.022*10^{23}$

$\#Molecules = 3.469*10^{21} molecules$

Titus drives his jetski a distance of 1000 meters in 7.045 seconds. How fast was he moving in meters per second? How fast was he

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

a) v = 141.9 m/s

b) v = 317.4 miles/h

Explanation:

a) How fast was he moving in meters per second?

$v = \frac{d}{t} = \frac{1000 m}{7.045 s} = 141.9 m/s$

Hence, the jet ski is moving at 141.9 meters per second.

b) How fast was he moving in miles per hour?

$v = \frac{d}{t} = \frac{1000 m}{7.045 s} = 141.9 m/s*\frac{3600 s}{1 h}*\frac{1 mile}{1609.34 m} = 317.4 miles/h$

Therefore, the jet ski is moving at 317.4 miles per hour.

I hope it helps you!

A 4000 kg satellite is placed 2.60 x 10^6 m above the surface of the Earth.

mash [69]

a) The acceleration of gravity is $4.96 m/s^2$

b) The critical velocity is 6668 m/s (24,006 km/h)

c) The period of the orbit is 8452 s

d) The satellite completes 10.2 orbits per day

e) The escape velocity of the satellite is 9430 m/s

f) The escape velocity of the rocket is 11,191 m/s

Explanation:

The acceleration of gravity for an object near a planet is given by

$g=\frac{GM}{(R+h)^2}$

where

G is the gravitational constant

M is the mass of the planet

R is the radius of the planet

h is the height above the surface

In this problem,

$M=5.98\cdot 10^{24} kg$ (mass of the Earth)

$R=6.37\cdot 10^6 m$ (Earth's radius)

$h=2.60\cdot 10^6 m$ (altitude of the satellite)

Substituting,

$g=\frac{(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})(5.98\cdot 10^{24}}{(6.37\cdot 10^6 + 2.60\cdot 10^6)^2}=4.96 m/s^2$

The critical velocity for a satellite orbiting around a planet is given by

$v=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{R+h}}$

where we have again:

$M=5.98\cdot 10^{24} kg$ (mass of the Earth)

$R=6.37\cdot 10^6 m$ (Earth's radius)

$h=2.60\cdot 10^6 m$ (altitude of the satellite)

Substituting,

$v=\sqrt{\frac{(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})(5.98\cdot 10^{24}}{(6.37\cdot 10^6 + 2.60\cdot 10^6)}}=6668 m/s$

Converting into km/h,

$v=6668 m/s \cdot \frac{3600 s/h}{1000 m/km}=24,006 km/h$

The period of the orbit is given by the circumference of the orbit divided by the velocity:

$T=\frac{2\pi (R+h)}{v}$

where

$R=6.37\cdot 10^6 m$

$h=2.60\cdot 10^6 m$

v = 6668 m/s

Substituting,

$T=\frac{2\pi (6.37\cdot 10^6 + 2.60\cdot 10^6)}{6668}=8452 s$

One day consists of:

$t = 24 \frac{hours}{day} \cdot 60 \frac{min}{hours} \cdot 60 \frac{s}{min}=86400 s$

While the period of the orbit is

T = 8452 s

So, the number of orbits completed by the satellite in one day is

$n=\frac{t}{T}=\frac{86400}{8452}=10.2$

The escape velocity for an object in the gravitational field of a planet is given by

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R+h}}$

where here we have:

$M=5.98\cdot 10^{24} kg$

$R=6.37\cdot 10^6 m$

$h=2.60\cdot 10^6 m$

Substituting, we find

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})(5.98\cdot 10^{24}}{(6.37\cdot 10^6 + 2.60\cdot 10^6)}}=9430 m/s$

We can apply again the formula to find the escape velocity for the rocket:

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R+h}}$

Where this time we have:

$M=5.98\cdot 10^{24} kg$

$R=6.37\cdot 10^6 m$

$h=0$ , because the rocket is located at the Earth's surface, so its altitude is zero.

And substituting,

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})(5.98\cdot 10^{24}}{(6.37\cdot 10^6)}}=11,191 m/s$
