Answer:

a)  M = 4,997 10²⁰ kg ,  b)   T = 1.43 10³ s

Explanation:

a) This exercise should be solved in several parts, let's start by calculating the acceleration of gravity of this planet from kinematics

          v = v₀ - a t

As it indicates that there is no atmosphere, the friction force is zero and the initial and final velocity have the same module, but the opposite direction

         a = (v₀ - v) / t

         a = (15 - (-15)) /9.00 = 30/9

         a = 3.33 m / s²

Now we use Newton's second law where force is the force of universal attraction

          F = m a

         G m M / r² = m a

         M = a r² / G

Let's calculate

         M = 3.33 (1.00 10⁵)² / 6.67 10⁻¹¹

         M = 4,997 10²⁰ kg

b) The period of the ship's orbit

In this case we have a centripetal acceleration

The radius of the orbit is the radius of the plant plus the height of the ship from the surface

         R = R_{m} + h

         R = 1 10⁵ + 2.00 10⁴

         R = 12 10⁴ m

         F = m a

        G m M / R² = m a

Centripetal acceleration is

         a = v² / R

The orbit is circular therefore the velocity module is constant, so we can use the equation of uniform motion, where the distance is the length of the orbit, for a circle

        d = 2π R

        v = d / t

        v = 2π R / T

Let's replace

        G m M / R² = m (2π R / T)² / R

        G M = R³ 4π² / T²

        T² = 4π² R³ / G M

       T² = (4π² (12 10⁴)³ / (6.67 10⁻¹¹ 4,997 10²⁰)

       T² = 6.82 10¹⁶ / 3.33 10¹⁰

       T = √ (2,048 10⁶)

       T = 1.43 10³ s

What role does gravity play in the weight of an object?
earnstyle [38]
In physics, weight is a measure of the force exerted by gravity on a mass.

You probably know that you weigh less on the Moon than on Earth. For instance, if you weigh 100. pounds on Earth, you will weigh 16.6 pounds on the Moon. But, if your mass on Earth is 100 kg, your mass on the Moon is... also 100 kg. Because the amount of matter you have does not change from the Earth to the Moon, but the gravitational force on the Earth is stronger than on the Moon, so you weigh more on Earth.

You can think of gravity pulling a mass toward the center of an object like the Earth. It pulls a lot harder for more massive objects like the Earth than for the Moon. That's why there's a difference in weight.

As a caveat, adding energy or mass to an object will affect its mass. Additionally, general relativity informs us that when something as traveling very near the speed of light, the whole idea of mass equivalency is not exactly true...

a 1.2 m wire carries a current of 10.0 A in a uniform magnetic field of 0.050T. Find the magnitude of the magnetic force on the
rodikova [14]
To calculate we use the formula for a magnetic force in a current-carrying wire expressed as the product of the current, magnetic field and the length of the wire.
 F = I x L x B

where F is the force on the wire, I is the current flowing on the wire, L is the length of the wire and B is the magnetic field.

F = 10.0 A x 1.2 m x 0.050 T
F = 0.60 N

vredina [299]

A car is built from various subsystems. If these subsystems are not working properly it is dangerous because it can cause a serious traffic accident.

<h3>What subsystems do cars have?</h3>

When you're testing the build of a car, you have to check its many subsystems:

  • the battery
  • the engine
  • the cabin
  • the thermal-management system
  • the gearbox
  • the chassis
  • the suspension

<h3>Why is a car with damaged subsystems dangerous?</h3>

The subsystems of a car are very important components that allow the proper functioning of the car. These subsystems work synchronously making the car work properly.

However, if one of these subsystems is not working properly it could cause a malfunction that could lead to a traffic accident.
