Answer:

The mass of the object is 300 kg

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The velocity of the object = 5 m/s southeast

The total momentum of the object = 1500 kg·m/s

The equation for linear momentum, is given as follows;

Momentum = Mass × Velocity

Therefore, the mass of the object can be found as follows;

$The \ mass \ of \ the \ object= \dfrac{The \ momentum \ of \ the \ object}{The \ velocity \ of \ the \ object}$

Therefore, we have;

$The \ mass \ of \ the \ object= \dfrac{1500 \ kg \cdot m/s}{5 \ m/s} = 300 \ kg$

The mass of the object = 300 kg.

A satellite has a mass of 5832 kg and is in a circular orbit 4.13 × 105 m above the surface of a planet. The period of the orbit

elena55 [62]

Answer:

W = 28226.88 N

Explanation:

Given,

Mass of the satellite, m = 5832 Kg

Height of the orbiting satellite from the surface, h = 4.13 x 10⁵ m

The time period of the orbit, T = 1.9 h

= 6840 s

The radius of the planet, R = 4.38 x 10⁶ m

The time period of the satellite is given by the formula

$T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{(R+h)^{3} }{R^{2} g} }$ second

Squaring the terms and solving it for 'g'

g = 4 π² $\frac{(R+h)^{3} }{R^{2}T^{2} }$ m/s²

Substituting the values in the above equation

g = 4 π² $\frac{(4.38X10^6+4.13X10^5)^{3} }{(4.38X10^6)^{2}X6840^{2}}$

g = 4.84 m/s²

Therefore, the weight

w = m x g newton

= 5832 Kg x 4.84 m/s²

= 28226.88 N

Hence, the weight of the satellite at the surface, W = 28226.88 N

A bullet with mass 1.0kg and velocity 180 m/s is brought to rest in 0.02 s by a sandbag.assuming constant acceleration in the sa

kotykmax [81]

Hello
The bullet is moving by uniformly accelerated motion.
The initial velocity is $v_i=180~m/s$ , the final velocity is $v_i=0~m/s$ , and the total time of the motion is $\Delta t=0.02~s$ , so the acceleration is given by
$a= \frac{v_f-v_i}{\Delta t} = -9000~m/s^2$
where the negative sign means that is a deceleration.
Therefore we can calculate the total distance covered by the bullet in its motion using
$S=v_i t + \frac{1}{2}at^2 = 180~m/s \cdot 0.02~s + \frac{1}{2}(-9000~m/s^2)(0.02~s)^2=1.8~m$
So, the bullet penetrates the sandbag 1.8 meters.

Can anyone help me to explain theory of relativity???

OLga [1]

Answer:

The theory of relativity usually encompasses two interrelated theories by Albert Einstein: special relativity and general relativity, proposed and published in 1905 and 1915, respectively. Special relativity applies to all physical phenomena in the absence of gravity. General relativity explains the law of gravitation and its relation to other forces of nature.It applies to the cosmological and astrophysical realm, including astronomy.

The theory transformed theoretical physics and astronomy during the 20th century, superseding a 200-year-old theory of mechanics created primarily by Isaac Newton. It introduced concepts including spacetime as a unified entity of space and time, relativity of simultaneity, kinematic and gravitational time dilation, and length contraction. In the field of physics, relativity improved the science of elementary particles and their fundamental interactions, along with ushering in the nuclear age. With relativity, cosmology and astrophysics predicted extraordinary astronomical phenomena such as neutron stars, black holes, and gravitational waves
