Answer:

The electric field will exert a force that accelerates the charged particle. The electric field has a direction, positive to negative. ... If it is moving in the opposite direction it will decelerate. If a negative charge is moving in the same direction as the electric field vector the particle will decelerate.

What is the period (in hours) of a satellite circling Mars 100 km above the planet's surface? The mass of Mars is 6.42 × 1023 kg

scZoUnD [109]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the Centrifugal Force and the Gravitational Force. Since there is balance on the body these two Forces will be equal, mathematically they can be expressed as

$F_c = F_g$

$\frac{mv^2}{r} = \frac{GmM}{r^2}$

Where,

m = Mass

G =Gravitational Universal Constant

M = Mass of the Planet

r = Distance/Radius

Re-arrange to find the velocity we have,

$v^2 = \frac{GM}{r}$

At the same time we know that the period is equivalent in terms of the linear velocity to,

$T = \frac{2\pi}{\frac{v}{r}}$

$v = \frac{2\pi r}{T}$

If our values are that the radius of mars is 3400 km and the distance above the planet is 100km more, i.e, 3500km we have,

$v^2 = \frac{GM}{r}$

$( \frac{2\pi r}{T})^2 = \frac{GM}{r}$

$T = \sqrt{\frac{4\pi^2 r^3}{GM}}$

Replacing we have,

$T = \sqrt{\frac{4\pi^2 (3500*10^3)^3}{(6.67430*10^{-11})(6.42*10^23)}}$

$T = 6285.09s (\frac{1min}{60s})(\frac{1hour}{60min})$

$T= 1.74hour$

Therefore the correct answer is C.

As an object falls to the ground, its potential energy is being converted to kinetic energy.

alekssr [168]

Answer:

The statement is true

Explanation:

Energy Conversion

When an object starts to fall in free air, it speeds up as it falls. The force of gravity acting on the object causes energy to be transferred from its gravitational potential energy to its kinetic energy. We can safely say the height converts to speed and vice-versa. If no external forces act on the system, we can easily calculate heights and speeds by knowing the total mechanical energy (gravitational potential plus kinetic) is conserved.

Answer:

$\boxed{\text{The statement is true}}$
