Answer:

D

Explanation:

We are given that

Weight,w_1=13 N

w_2=12 N

We have to find the acceleration of 13 N weight .

m_1=\frac{w_1}{g}=\frac{13}{g}kg

m_2=\frac{w_2}{g}=\frac{12}{g} kg

Net force,w_1-w_2=13-12=1 N

Total mass,m=m_1+m_2=\frac{13}{g}+\frac{12}{g}=\frac{25}{g}kg

Acceleration,a=\frac{Net\;force}{total\;mass}

Using the formula

a=\frac{1}{\frac{25}{g}}=\frac{1}{25}g

Where g=Acceleration due to gravity

Hence, option D is true.

A satellite orbits the earth at a speed of 8.0x 10^3m/s . Calculate the period of orbit of the satellite if the distance between
gladu [14]

Hi there!

The period of an orbit can be found by:

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

T = Period (? s)
r = radius of orbit (6400000 m)

v = speed of the satellite (8000 m/s)

This is the same as the distance = vt equation. The total distance traveled by the satellite is the circumference of its circular orbit.

Let's plug in what we know and solve.

T = \frac{2\pi (6400000)}{8000} = \boxed{5026.55 s}

Calculate the magnitude of the linear momentum for the following cases. (a) a proton with mass 1.67 10-27 kg, moving with a spee
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

<h2>8.0995×10^-21 kgms^-1</h2>

Explanation:

Mass of proton :

m_P=1.67\times 10^-^2^7\:kg\\

Speed of Proton:

v_P=4.85\times 10^6

Linear Momentum of a particle having mass (m) and velocity (v) :

-> p =m->v\:\:\: (1)

Magnitude of momentum :

p=mv\:\:\: (2)

Frome equation (2), magnitude of linear momentum of the proton :

p_P=m_P\:v_P\\\\p_P=1.67\times 10^-^2^7 \:kg\times4.85\times 10^6\:ms^-^1\\\\p_P= 8.0995\times 10^-^2^1\:kgms^-^1

In a closed system, as kinetic energy increases, what happens to potential energy?
kupik [55]
<h2>Because kinetic energy is proportional to the velocity squared, increases in velocity will have an exponentially greater effect on translational kinetic energy. Doubling the mass of an object will only double its kinetic energy, but doubling the velocity of the object will quadruple its velocity.</h2>

HELP ME! One airline limits the size of carry-on luggage to a volume of 40,000 cm^3. A passenger has a carry-on that has an area
EleoNora [17]
You must times the area by the volume, look at it as if the area is just one of 23 layers that makes up the volume.
1960x23=45080
so no it cannot be carried as it is 5080cm^3 over the limit
