Answer:

1.38*10^18 kg

Explanation:

According to the Newton's law of universal gravitation:

F=G*\frac{m_a*m_p}{r^2}

where:

G= Gravitational constant (6.674×10−11 N · (m/kg)2)

ma= mass of the astronaut

mp= mass of the planet

F=m_a.a\\(v_f )^2=(v_o)^2+2.a.\Delta y\\\\a=\frac{(v_f)^2-(v_o)^2}{2.\Delta y}\\\\a=\frac{(0)^2-(4.29m/s)^2}{2.0.64m}=14.38m/s^2\\\\F=m_a*14.38m/s^2

so:

m_a*14.38m/s^2=(6.674*10^{-11}N.(m/kg)^2)*\frac{m_a.m_p}{(2.530*10^3m)^2}\\m_p=\frac{14.38m/s^2(2.530*10^3m)^2}{(6.674*10^{-11}N.(m/kg)^2)}\\\\m_p=1.38*10^{18}kg

Nata [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that;

horizontal circle at a rate of 2.33 revolutions per second

the magnetic field of the Earth is 0.500 gauss

the baton is 60.1 cm in length.

the magnetic field  is oriented at 14.42°

we wil get the area due to rotation of radius of baton is

\Delta A = \frac{1}{2} \Delta \theta R^2

The  formula for the induced emf is

E = \frac{\Delta  \phi}{\Delta  t}

\phi  = \texttt {magnetic flux}

E=\frac{\Delta (BA) }{\Delta  t}

=B\frac{\Delta  A}{\Delta  t}

B is the magnetic field strength

substitute

\texttt {substitute}\  \frac{1}{2} \Delta \theta R^2 \ \ for \Delta  A

E=B\frac{(\Delta  \theta R^3/2)}{\Delta  t} \\\\=\frac{1}{2} BR^2\omega

The magnetic field of the earth is oriented at 14.42

\omega =2.33\\\\L=60.1c,\\\\\theta=14.42\\\\B=0.5

we plug in the values in the equation above

so, the induce EMF will be

E=\frac{1}{2} \times (B\sin \theta)R^2\omega\\\\E=\frac{1}{2} \times (B\sin \theta)(\frac{L}{2} )\omega

=\frac{1}{2} \times0.5gauss\times\frac{0.0001T}{1gauss} \times\sin 14.42\times(\frac{60.1\times10^-^2m}{2} )^2(2.33rev/s)(\frac{2\pi rad}{1rev} )\\\\=2.5\times10^-^5\times0.2490\times0.0903\times14.63982\\\\=2.5\times10^-^5\times0.32917\\\\=8.229\times10^-^6V

Explain what happens with light causing you to see colored opaque objects
algol13

answer:

an opaque object is one that doesn't let light pass through it. instead, it reflects or absorbs the light that strikes it.

explanation:

in this case, we see the material because of the transmitted light. therefore, the wavelength of the transmitted light determines the color that the object appears.

good luck :)

i hope this helps

have a nice day !!

ra1l [238]

Answer:

a) v = 4.4 m/s

b) F = 400 N

Explanation:

a) ½kx² = ½mv²

v = √(kx²/m)

F = kx

v = √(Fx/m)

v = √(800(0.012) / 0.5) = √19.2 = 4.3817...

b) Fd = ½mv²

F = mv²/2d

F = 0.5(19.2) / (2(0.012) = 400 N
