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!

Why silicon have large forward current as compared to germanium?​
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

The structure of Germanium crystals will be destroyed at higher temperature. However, Silicon crystals are not easily damaged by excess heat. Peak Inverse Voltage ratings of Silicon diodes are greater than Germanium diodes. Si is less expensive due to the greater abundance of element.

Over a span of 6.0 seconds, a car changes it's speed from 89 km/h to 37 km/h. What is its average acceleration in meters per sec
scoundrel [369]

Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)

change in speed = (speed at the end) - (speed at the beginning)

change in speed = (37 km/hr) - (89 km/hr) = -52 km/hr

Acceleration = (-52 km/hr) / (6 sec)

Acceleration = (-26/3) km/(hr·sec)

Units: (1/hr·sec) · (hr/3600 sec) = 1 / 3600 sec²

(-26/3) km/(hr·sec) = (-26/3) km/(3600 sec²)

= -26,000/(3 · 3600) m/s²

<em>Acceleration = -2.41 m/s²</em>

What is the gravitational potential energy of a 15.0kg object that is 5.00m above the ground relative to a point 8.00m above the
Licemer1 [7]

Explanation:

an object's gravitational potential energy Eg is m×g×h where:

m=mass

g=9.8m/s²

h=height relative to the closest object below it (because it cannot potentially fall through it

so Eg = 15×9.8×5=735J

A diffraction pattern forms when light passes through a single slit. The wavelength of the light is 691 nm. Determine the angle
expeople1 [14]

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength of the light, \lambda=691\ nm=691\times 10^{-9}\ m

(a) Slit width, a=3.8\times 10^{-4}\ m

The angle that locates the first dark fringe is given by :

sin\theta=\dfrac{\lambda}{a}

sin\theta=\dfrac{691\times 10^{-9}}{3.8\times 10^{-4}}

\theta=0.104^{\circ}

(b) Slit width, a=3.8\times 10^{-6}\ m

The angle that locates the first dark fringe is given by :

sin\theta=\dfrac{\lambda}{a}

sin\theta=\dfrac{691\times 10^{-9}}{3.8\times 10^{-6}}

\theta=10.47^{\circ}

Hence, this is the required solution.
