Answer:

a= kinetic energy vs. different masses at same speed, b= kinetic energy vs. same masses at different speeds

Explanation:

graphs are looking at speed so masses don't matter as much. same speed the whole time will equal same kinetic energy the whole time.

A satellite orbits a planet of unknown mass in a circular orbit of radius 2.3 x 104 km. The gravitational force on the satellite

sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

The kinetic energy is $KE = 7.59 *10^{10} \ J$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The radius of the orbit is $r = 2.3 *10^{4} \ km = 2.3 *10^{7} \ m$

The gravitational force is $F_g = 6600 \ N$

The kinetic energy of the satellite is mathematically represented as

$KE = \frac{1}{2} * mv^2$

where v is the speed of the satellite which is mathematically represented as

$v = \sqrt{\frac{G M}{r^2} }$

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

substituting this into the equation

$KE = \frac{ 1}{2} *\frac{GMm}{r}$

Now the gravitational force of the planet is mathematically represented as

$F_g = \frac{GMm}{r^2}$

Where M is the mass of the planet and m is the mass of the satellite

Now looking at the formula for KE we see that we can represent it as

$KE = \frac{ 1}{2} *[\frac{GMm}{r^2}] * r$

=> $KE = \frac{ 1}{2} *F_g * r$

substituting values

$KE = \frac{ 1}{2} *6600 * 2.3*10^{7}$

$KE = 7.59 *10^{10} \ J$

Alice and Tom dive from an overhang into the lake below. Tom simply drops straight down from the edge, but Alice takes a running

crimeas [40]

Answer:c

Explanation:

Given

Alice launches with horizontal velocity $u=25\ m/s$

Tom simply drops straight down from the edge

Time taken by both the person is same as they have same initial vertical velocity i.e. zero so the time taken to reach the ground is zero.

Although Alice will travel more horizontal distance compared to Tom.

Thus option c is correct

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

The answer is 218

Explanation:

Weight = mass * gravitational acceleration

weight is represented by F

F = 25kg (8.7)

(I'm pretty sure that you don't have to include the meters per second/per second thing)

"State the process that divides one nucleus into two genetically identical nuclei"

kompoz [17]

Answer:

<em>Mitosis</em>

Explanation:

Mitosis: Mitosis is a cell or nuclear division following the duplicate of the chromosomes, whereby each daughter cell or nucleus has exactly the same chromosomes content as the parent. In other words, mitosis is a cell division in which daughter cells have the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

Mitosis takes place during organism's growth, development, and asexual reproduction. in plants mitosis takes place in the terminal bud of the shoot at the tip of the roots and shoots. In animal mitosis occur at growth centres which are everywhere.

Mitosis produce diploid number, in order word, the number of chromosomes in each somatic cell of an organism is called the diploid number (2n)

Example of mitosis is the multiplication of the skin covering a child's body during growth
