Answer:

ΔU = 5.21 × 10^(10) J

Explanation:

We are given;

Mass of object; m = 1040 kg

To solve this, we will use the formula for potential energy which is;

U = -GMm/r

But we are told we want to move the object from the Earth's surface to an altitude four times the Earth's radius.

Thus;

ΔU = -GMm((1/r_f) - (1/r_i))

Where;

M is mass of earth = 5.98 × 10^(24) kg

r_f is final radius

r_i is initial radius

G is gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10^(-11) N.m²/kg²

Since, it's moving to altitude four times the Earth's radius, it means that;

r_i = R_e

r_f = R_e + 4R_e = 5R_e

Where R_e is radius of earth = 6371 × 10³ m

Thus;

ΔU = -6.67 × 10^(-11) × 5.98 × 10^(24)

× 1040((1/(5 × 6371 × 10³)) - (1/(6371 × 10³))

ΔU = 5.21 × 10^(10) J

What is the relationship between the mass of the objects and the force exerted?
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

Objects with mass exert forces on each other via the force of gravity. This force is proportional to the mass of the two interacting objects, and is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. The factors G, M, and r are the same for all masses at the surface of the Earth.

A Thomson's gazelle can run at very high speeds, but its acceleration is relatively modest. A reasonable model for the sprint of
NikAS [45]

Answer:

The gazelles top speed is 27.3 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Acceleration = 4.2 m/s²

Time = 6.5 s

Suppose we need to find the gazelles top speed

The speed is equal to the product of acceleration and time.

We need to calculate the gazelles top speed

Using formula of speed

v=at

Where, v = speed

a = acceleration

t = time

Put the value into the formula

v=4.2\times6.5

v=27.3\ m/s

Hence, The gazelles top speed is 27.3 m/s.

An object is placed in front of a diverging lens, such that the object-to-image distance is 71 cm.
Pachacha [2.7K]

Explanation:

Given that,

Object-to-image distance d= 71 cm

Image distance = 26 cm

We need to calculate the object distance

u -v= d

u=71+26=97\ cm

We need to calculate the focal length

Using formula of lens

\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{v}-\dfrac{1}{u}

put the value into the formula

\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{-26}+\dfrac{1}{97}

\dfrac{1}{f}=-\dfrac{71}{2522}

f=-35.52\ cm

The focal length of the lens is 35.52.

(B). Given that,

Object distance = 95 cm

Focal length = 29 cm

We need to calculate the distance of the image

Using formula of lens

\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{v}-\dfrac{1}{u}

Put the value in to the formula

\dfrac{1}{-29}=\dfrac{1}{v}-\dfrac{1}{95}

\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{-29}-\dfrac{1}{95}

\dfrac{1}{v}=-\dfrac{124}{2755}

v=-22.21\ cm

We need to calculate the magnification

Using formula of magnification

m=\dfrac{v}{u}

m=\dfrac{22.21}{95}

m=0.233

The magnification is 0.233.

The image is virtual.

Hence, This is the required solution.
