What happens if an object is in orbit and

Physics
1 answer:
marusya05 [52]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The object will float better.

Explanation:

If you have basic knowledge on how it works, this question is relatively easy. Let's start by reviewing something. We already know that this object (let's assume it's a spaceship of sorts) is in orbit, meaning there is already a certain amount of gravity from Earth tugging on it. We also know that space has an effect on how this moves, so the two forces "balance" each other, allowing the object to stay at orbit rather than just drifting off. Now let's see the answers to see which makes more sense.

A. The object will stop moving.

The object can't stop moving. With gravity increasing, it would be impossible for that to happen.

B. The object will fly off into space.

This could only happen if the gravity were to decrease by a decent amount.

C. The object will smash into another object.

There is no other object mentioned in the question.

D. The object will float better.

This seems most likely as gravity would be pulling on the object a bit more, but probably not enough to bring it back to the ground. It might drop a bit lower into the exosphere.

I hope I was right and I hope this helps!

An electric iron is connected to the mains power supply of 220 V. When the electric iron is
Ilya [14]

Answer:

Given: V = 220V, Pmin = 360W, Pmax = 840W

For minimum heating case:

We know that

Pmin = VI

360 = 220 X I

I = 1.63 amp

R = V/I

R = 220/1.63

R = 134.96ohms

For maximum heating case:

We know that

Pmax = VI

840 = 220 X I

I = 3.81 amp

R = V/I

R = 220/3.81

R = 57.74 ohms

tigry1 [53]

Answer:

A) The elastic potential energy stored in the spring when it is compressed 0.10 m is 0.25 J.

B) The maximum speed of the plastic sphere will be 2.2 m/s

Explanation:

Hi there!

I´ve found the complete problem on the web:

<em>A toy launcher that is used to launch small plastic spheres horizontally contains a spring with a spring constant of 50. newtons per meter. The spring is compressed a distance of 0.10 meter when the launcher is ready to launch a plastic sphere.</em>

<em>A) Determine the elastic potential energy stored in the spring when the launcher is ready to launch a plastic sphere.</em>

<em>B) The spring is released and a 0.10-kilogram plastic sphere is fired from the launcher. Calculate the maximum speed with which the plastic sphere will be launched. [Neglect friction.] [Show all work, including the equation and substitution with units.]</em>

<em />

A) The elastic potential energy (EPE) is calculated as follows:

EPE = 1/2 · k · x²

Where:

k = spring constant.

x = compressing distance

EPE = 1/2 · 50 N/m · (0.10 m)²

EPE = 0.25 J

The elastic potential energy stored in the spring when it is compressed 0.10 m is 0.25 J.

B) Since there is no friction, all the stored potential energy will be converted into kinetic energy when the spring is released. The equation of kinetic energy (KE) is the following:

KE = 1/2 · m · v²

Where:

m = mass of the sphere.

v = velocity

The kinetic energy of the sphere will be equal to the initial elastic potential energy:

KE = EPE = 1/2 · m · v²

0.25 J = 1/2 · 0.10 kg · v²

2 · 0.25 J / 0.10 kg = v²

v = 2.2 m/s

The maximum speed of the plastic sphere will be 2.2 m/s
