A projectile is shot straight up from the earth's surface at a speed of 10,000 km/hr. how high does it go?

1 answer:

7 0

Naturally we assume that 10000 km/hr is initial velocity (same as being shot from a cannon), and no air resistance. With so high a velocity, the effect of diminishing gravity with increasing radius must be taken into account, so you use an energy solution. M is earth mass, r is earth radius.
KE/m = (9000000/3600)^2/2 = 3858025 J/kg
ΔPE/m = (PE(at height) - PE(at surface))/m = -GM/(r+h) + GM/r
KE/m = ΔPE/m
KE/m - GM/r = -GM/(r+h)
h = -GM / (KE/m - GM/r) - r = 335665.44 m
(Using G = 6.673E-11 Nm^2/kg^2, M = 5.9742E24 kg, r = 6378100 m)

What is the name of the force that is a combination of all forces that act on an object?

jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

If the combination of all the forces acting on an object sums upto be zero, then the net force is known as <u>balanced force.</u>

If the combination of all the forces acting on an object is non-zero, then the net force is said to be <u>unbalanced force. </u>The unbalanced force causes the object change the state of rest or motion.

A 4 V power source is connected in parallel to four resistors: 1, 2, 2, and 3. Find the total current.

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

Explanation:

Equivalent resistance is 1 / ((1/1) + (1/2) + (1/2) + (1/3)) = 3/7 Ω

I = V/R = 4(7/3) = 28/3 = 9.3 A

hich of the following statements are true for magnetic force acting on a current-carrying wire in a uniform magnetic field?Check

leonid [27]

Explanation:

The magnetic force acting on a current carrying wire in a uniform magnetic field is given by :

$F=I(L\times B)$

$F=ILB\ sin\theta$

Where

$\theta$ is the angle between length and the magnetic field

The magnetic force is perpendicular to both current and magnetic field. It is maximum when it is perpendicular to both current and magnetic field.

So, the correct options are :

The magnetic force on the current-carrying wire is strongest when the current is perpendicular to the magnetic field lines.
.The direction of the magnetic force acting on a current-carrying wire in a uniform magnetic field is perpendicular to the direction of the field.
The direction of the magnetic force acting on a current-carrying wire in a uniform magnetic field is perpendicular to the direction of the current.
