Sound waves actually travel much faster in water than air, but words and the direction of the noise are distorted.

Zero, a hypothetical planet, has a mass of 5.3 x 1023 kg, a radius of 3.3 x 106 m, and no atmosphere. A 10 kg space probe is to

Andrej [43]

(a) $3.1\cdot 10^7 J$

The total mechanical energy of the space probe must be constant, so we can write:

$E_i = E_f\\K_i + U_i = K_f + U_f$ (1)

where

$K_i$ is the kinetic energy at the surface, when the probe is launched

$U_i$ is the gravitational potential energy at the surface

$K_f$ is the final kinetic energy of the probe

$U_i$ is the final gravitational potential energy

Here we have

$K_i = 5.0 \cdot 10^7 J$

at the surface, $R=3.3\cdot 10^6 m$ (radius of the planet), $M=5.3\cdot 10^{23}kg$ (mass of the planet) and m=10 kg (mass of the probe), so the initial gravitational potential energy is

$U_i=-G\frac{mM}{R}=-(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})\frac{(10 kg)(5.3\cdot 10^{23}kg)}{3.3\cdot 10^6 m}=-1.07\cdot 10^8 J$

At the final point, the distance of the probe from the centre of Zero is

$r=4.0\cdot 10^6 m$

so the final potential energy is

$U_f=-G\frac{mM}{r}=-(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})\frac{(10 kg)(5.3\cdot 10^{23}kg)}{4.0\cdot 10^6 m}=-8.8\cdot 10^7 J$

So now we can use eq.(1) to find the final kinetic energy:

$K_f = K_i + U_i - U_f = 5.0\cdot 10^7 J+(-1.07\cdot 10^8 J)-(-8.8\cdot 10^7 J)=3.1\cdot 10^7 J$

(b) $6.3\cdot 10^7 J$

The probe reaches a maximum distance of

$r=8.0\cdot 10^6 m$

which means that at that point, the kinetic energy is zero: (the probe speed has become zero):

$K_f = 0$

At that point, the gravitational potential energy is

$U_f=-G\frac{mM}{r}=-(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})\frac{(10 kg)(5.3\cdot 10^{23}kg)}{8.0\cdot 10^6 m}=-4.4\cdot 10^7 J$

So now we can use eq.(1) to find the initial kinetic energy:

$K_i = K_f + U_f - U_i = 0+(-4.4\cdot 10^7 J)-(-1.07\cdot 10^8 J)=6.3\cdot 10^7 J$

The Hoover Dam produces electricity which powers parts of Nevada and California. It is made up of 17 generators, each of which p

Crank

Given voltage and current, the power may be calculated by multiplying them.
P = V x I
Substituting the given values above,
P = (1.60 x 10^4) x (7.40 x 10^3)
The numerical value of the operation above is 118400000 watts. Thus, the answer is letter C.
