Answer:

r = 2.031 x 10⁶ m = 2031 km

Explanation:

In order for the asteroid to orbit the planet, the centripetal force must be equal to the gravitational force between asteroid and planet:

Centripetal Force = Gravitational Force

mv²/r = GmM/r²

v² = GM/r

r = GM/v²

where,

r = radial distance = ?

G = Universal Gravitational Constant = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N.m²/kg²

M = Mass of Planet = 3.52 x 10¹³ kg

v = tangential speed = 0.034 m/s

Therefore,

r = (6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N.m²/kg²)(3.52 x 10¹³ kg)/(0.034 m/s)²

<u>r = 2.031 x 10⁶ m = 2031 km</u>

The half-wave rectifier circuit of vs(t) = 170 sin(377t) V and a load resistance R = 15Ω. Determine: a. The average load current
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

a  average load current = 11.33 A

b rms load current = 8.02A

c true power =962.64 W

d apparent power =962.64 W

e. power factor cosθ =1

Explanation:

Vs (t) = 170 sin(377t) v

Vm =170v

Vrms = 170/√2 =120.23 v

Im = Vm/R = 170/15 = 11.33 A

Irms = Im/ √2 = 11.33/√2 =8.02A

Resistors are electronic components that consume energy

the power in a resistor is given by  P =IVcosθ ; in a resistor cosθ =1

P =IV

The electrical power consumed by a resistance, (R) is called the true or real power

and is obtained by multiplying the rms voltage with the rms current.

P= Vrms × Irms

120.03×8.02

P= 962.64 W ; true power

apparent power = Vrms × Irms

=120.03×8.02

= 962.64W ; apparent power

power factor cosθ = true power/ apparent power

cosθ = 962.64/962.64

cosθ = 1

For the purely resistive circuit, the power factor is 1 , because the reactive power is equal to zero (0).

1. Spring force is proportional to stretch distance, F=kd. Do you expect doubling the stretch distance double the force?
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

The spring force is given as:

          F  = kd

F is the spring force

K is the spring constant

d is the magnitude of the stretch

 Since k is a constant, therefore, doubling the stretch distance will double the force.

Both stretch distance and force applied can be said to be directly proportional to one another.
