A satellite with mass 6000 kg is orbiting the planet at 2500 km above the planet's

9966 [12]

By the law of universal gravitation, the gravitational force F between the satellite (mass m) and planet (mass M) is

F = G M m / R ²

where

• G = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/(kg•s²) is the universal gravitation constant

• R = 2500 km + 5000 km = 7500 km is the distance between the satellite and the center of the planet

Solve for M :

M = F R ² / (G m)

M = ((3 × 10⁴ N) (75 × 10⁵ m)²) / (G (6 × 10³ kg))

M ≈ 2.8 × 10¹⁴ kg

A circular window of 30 cm diameter in a submarine can withstand a maximum force of 5.20 × 105 N. The maximum depth in a lake to

Svetach [21]

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

F = $5.20 \times 10^{5}$ N

g = 9.8 m/s

radius = $\frac{diameter}{2}$

= $\frac{30 cm}{2}$ = 15 cm = 0.15 m (as 1 m = 100 cm)

Formula to calculate depth is as follows.

F = $\rho \times g \times h \times A$

or, h = $\frac{F}{\rho \times g \times A}$

h = $\frac{5.2 \times 10^{5}}{1000 \times 9.8 \times (3.1416 \times (0.15 m^{2})}$

= 751 m

Thus, we can conclude that the maximum depth in a lake to which the submarine can go without damaging the window is closest 750 m.

A child on a swing sweeps out a distance of 45 ft on the first pass. If she is allowed to continue swinging until she stops, an

earnstyle [38]

Answer:

d = 90 ft

Explanation:

Here in each swing the distance sweeps by the swing is half of the initial distance that it will move

So here we can say that total distance in whole motion is given as

$d = 45 + \frac{45}{2} + \frac{45}{4} + \frac{45}{8}..........$

since it is half of the distance that it will move in each swing so it would be a geometric progression with common ratio of 1/2

so sum of such GP is given by the formula

$S = \frac{a}{1 - r}$

$d = \frac{45}{1 - \frac{1}{2}}$

$d = 90 ft$

Why does water feel cool when it evaporates

Illusion [34]

First, it makes your skin feel cooler when it's wet. And when it evaporates it removes some heat. But sweat will only evaporate in an environment where there isn't muchwater in the air. In a place with high humidity, there're already lots of water molecules in the air.

Why do cells have receptors? Receptors make mRNA. Receptors let the cell know when to let things in and out of the cell. Recepto

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer: Cells have receptors because Receptors let the cell know when to let things in and out of the cell.

Explanation:

Cell receptors also called transmembrane receptors are proteins located on the surface of a cell (extracellularly) or inside the cell which receive signals that alters the functions of the cell. The functions of the cells which can be altered includes the alteration in gene transcription and the cell morphology.

Cell receptors are generally categorizes into the following groups:

--> Internal receptors

--> cell surface receptors

--> ion channel receptors

--> G protein coupled receptors

--> enzyme linked receptors

Interaction of cell membrane receptors with specific ligands that bonds to the receptors causes conformational changes in the receptor protein. This in turn, enzymatically activates the intracellular part of the protein or induces interactions between the receptor and the proteins in the cytoplasm that act as second messengers, thereby relaying the signal from the extracellular part of the receptor to the interior of the cell. This enables the cell to know when to let things in or out of it through the information conveyed.
