<h2>Answer:</h2><h2>The acceleration of the meteoroid due to the gravitational force exerted by the planet = 12.12 m/ $s^{2}$ </h2>

Explanation:

A meteoroid is in a circular orbit 600 km above the surface of a distant planet.

Mass of the planet = mass of earth = 5.972 x $10^{24}$ Kg

Radius of the earth = 90% of earth radius = 90% 6370 = 5733 km

The acceleration of the meteoroid due to the gravitational force exerted by the planet = ?

By formula, g = $\frac{GM}{r^{2} }$

where g is the acceleration due to the gravity

G is the universal gravitational constant = 6.67 x $10^{-11}$ $m^{3} kg^{-1} s^{-2}$

M is the mass of the planet

r is the radius of the planet

Substituting the values, we get

g = $\frac{(6.67 * 10^{-11}) (5.972 * 10^{24}) }{5733^{2} }$

g = 12.12 m/ $s^{2}$

The acceleration of the meteoroid due to the gravitational force exerted by the planet = 12.12 m/ $s^{2}$

When a rocket is traveling toward a mountain at 100 m/s, the sound waves from this rocket's engine approach the mountain at spee

Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

The correct option is C

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The initial speed of the rocket is $v_i = 100 m/s$

The speed of the rocket engine sound is $V$

The final speed of the rocket is $v_f = 200 \ m/s$

The speed of the sound at $v_f$ would still remain V this because the speed of sound wave is constant and is not dependent on the speed of the observer(The mountain ) or the speed of the source (The rocket ).

A clear example when lightning strikes you will first see (that is because it travels at the speed of light which is greater than the speed of sound) but it would take some time before you hear the sound of the lightning

Here we see that the speed of the lightning(speed of sound) does not affect the speed of the sound it generates

In order to open the clam it catches, a seagull will drop the clam repeatedly onto a hard surface from high in the air until the

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

2.2 s

Explanation:

Hi!

Let's consider the origin of the coordinate system at the ground, and consider that the clam starts with zero velocity, the equation of motion of the clam is given by

$x(t) = 23.1 m - \frac{1}{2}(9.8 m/s^2) t^2$

We are looking for a time t for which x(t) = 0

$0 = 23.1 m - (4.9 m/s^2) t^2$

Solving for t:

$t = \sqrt{\frac{23.1}{4.9}} s = 2.17124 s$

Rounding at the first decimal:

t = 2.2 s
