Answer:

$E=8.13\times 10^{12}\ J$

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of a Hubble Space Telescope, $m_1=1.16\times 10^4\ kg$

It orbits the Earth at an altitude of $5.68\times 10^5\ m$

We need to find the potential energy the telescope at this location. The formula for potential energy is given by :

$E=\dfrac{Gm_1m_e}{r}$

Where

$m_e$ is the mass of Earth

Put all the values,

$E=\dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 1.16\times 10^4\times 5.97\times 10^{24}}{5.68\times 10^5}\\\\E=8.13\times 10^{12}\ J$

So, the potential energy of the telescope is $8.13\times 10^{12}\ J$ .

Answer:0.25 kg-m/s

Explanation:

Given

mass of blob $m=50 gm$

initial velocity $u=-5 m/s\ \hat{i}$

time of collision $t=20 ms$

we know Impulse is equal to change in momentum

initial momentum $P_i=mu$

$P_i=50\times 10^{-3}\times (-5)=-0.25 kg-m/s$

Final momentum $P_f=50\times 10^{-3}v$

$P_f=0$ as final velocity is zero

Impulse $J=P_f-P_i$

$J=0-(-0.25)$

$J=0.25 kg-m/s$

On earth, two parts of a space probe weigh 14500 N and 4800 N. These parts are separated by a center-to-center distance of 18 m

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

$F = 1.489*10^{-7} N$

Explanation: Weight of space probes on earth is given by: $W= m*g$

W= weight of the object( in N)

m= mass of the object (in kg)

g=acceleration due to gravity(9.81 $\frac{m}{s^{2} }$ )

Therefore,

$m_{1} = \frac{14500}{9.81}$

$m_{1} = 1478.08 kg$

Similarly,

$m_{2} = \frac{4800}{9.81}$

$m_{2} = 489.29 kg$

Now, considering these two parts as uniform spherical objects

Also, according to Superposition principle, gravitational net force experienced by an object is sum of all individual forces on the object.

Force between these two objects is given by:

$F = \frac{Gm_{1} m_{2}}{R^{2} }$

G= gravitational constant ( $6.67 * 10^{-11} m^{3} kg^{-1} s^{-2}$ )

$m_{1} , m_{2}$ = masses of the object

R= distance between their centres (in m)(18 m)

Substituiting all these values into the above formula

$F = 1.489*10^{-7} N$

This is the magnitude of force experienced by each part in the direction towards the other part, i.e the gravitational force is attractive in nature.

What quantity of heat must be removed from 20g<br>of water at 0°C to change it to ice at 0°C?

seraphim [82]

The quantity of heat must be removed is 1600 cal or 1,6 kcal.

<h3>Explanation : </h3>

From the question we will know if the condition of ice is at the latent point. So, the heat level not affect the temperature, but it can change the object existence. So, for the formula we can use.

$\boxed {\bold {Q = m \times L}}$

If :

Q = heat of latent (cal or J )
m = mass of the thing (g or kg)
L = latent coefficient (cal/g or J/kg)

<h3>Steps : </h3>

If :

m = mass of water = 20 g => its easier if we use kal/g°C
L = latent coefficient = 80 cal/g

Q = ... ?

Answer :

$Q = m \times L \\ Q = 20 \times 80 = 1600 \: cal$

So, the quantity of heat must be removed is 1600 cal or 1,6 kcal.

Describe how substance move from one state to another

Mekhanik [1.2K]

The temperature rises until the water reaches the next change of state — boiling. As the particles move faster and faster, they begin to break the attractive forces between each otherand move freely as steam — a gas. The process by which a substance moves from the liquid state to the gaseousstate is called boiling.
