Answer:

The object will travel at the speed of 16 m/s.

Explanation:

Given

Mass m = 4.0 kg

Momentum p = 64 kgm/s

To determine

How fast is the object traveling?

Important Tip:

The product of the mass and velocity of an object — momentum.

Using the formula

$p = mv$

where

m = mass

v = velcity

p = momentum

Thus, in order to determine the speed of the object, all we need to do is to substitute p = 64 and m = 4 in the formula

$p = mv$

$64\:=\:4\times v$

switch the equation

$\:4\times \:v\:=64$

divide both sides by 4

$\frac{4v}{4}=\frac{64}{4}$

simplify

$v=16$ m/s

Therefore, the object will travel at the speed of 16 m/s.

A satellite is orbiting the earth. If a payload of material is added until it doubles the satellite's mass, the earth's pull of

dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

When a satellite is orbiting the earth, the centripetal force is balanced by the gravitational force as :

$\dfrac{GMm}{r^2}=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}$

$v=\sqrt{\dfrac{GM}{r}}$ ...........(1)

Where

M is the mass of the earth

m is the mass of the planet

From equation (1), the speed of the satellite depends only on the mass of the earth and the orbital radius.

So, If a payload of material is added until it doubles the satellite's mass, the earth's pull of gravity on this satellite will double but the satellite's orbit will not be affected. It is true.

What is difference between kilowatt and kilowatt hour?

Scrat [10]

Those two units can be compared to a 'mile per hour' and a 'mile per hour - hour'.
One is a rate. The other is a quantity, after maintaining a rate for some time.

-- 'Joule' is a unit of energy. It's the amount of work (energy) you do
when you push with a force of 1 newton though a distance of 1 meter.
Lifting 10 pound of beans 3 feet off the floor takes about 40.7 joules of energy.

-- 'Watt' is a rate of using energy . . . 1 joule per second.
If you lift 10 pounds 3 feet off the floor in 1 second, your power is 40.7 watts.

-- 'Watt-second' is the amount of energy used in one second,
at the rate of 1 joule per second . . . 1 joule.

-- 'Watt-hour' is the amount of energy used in one hour,
at the rate of 1 joule per second . . . 3,600 joules.

-- 'Kilowatt' is a bigger rate of using energy . . . 1,000 joules per second.

-- 'Kilowatt - second' is the amount of energy used in one second,
at the rate of 1,000 joules per second . . . 1,000 joules .

-- 'Kilowatt - hour' is the amount of energy used in one hour,
at the rate of 1,000 joules per second . . . 3,600,000 joules .

Depending on where you live, 3,600,000 joules of energy bought
from the electric company costs something between 5¢ and 25¢.
