Answer:

A.Satellites achieve a balance between gravity and their velocity that keeps them in orbit.

Explanation:

This balance is called momentum gravity balance

food product with 10 kg mass is being transported to thesurface of the moon,where the acceleration due to gravity is1.624 m/s2;
larisa [96]

Answer:

In SI units 98.1 N, 16.24 N

English units 22.053861 lbf, 3.6509144 lbf

Explanation:

g = Acceleration due to gravity

m = Mass = 10 kg

Weight on Earth

W=mg\\\Rightarrow W=10\times 9.81\\\Rightarrow W=98.1\ N

Converting to lbf

98.1\times 0.22481=22.053861\ lbf

On Moon

W=10\times 1.624\\\Rightarrow W=16.24\ N

Converting to lbf

16.24\times 0.22481=3.6509144\ lbf

In SI units 98.1 N, 16.24 N

English units 22.053861 lbf, 3.6509144 lbf

A straight 1.20 m long conductor has a 2.00 A current travelling toward the East. Earth's magnetic field in this location is 4.9
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

Force's magnitude=1.176\,10^{-4}\,N

Direction: down (towards the center of the Earth)

Explanation:

Recall that the magnetic force on a conductor of length L carrying a current I in a magnetic field B is given by the equation: F=I\,L\,B in the case the magnetic field B and the direction of the current are at 90 degrees from each other (which is our case). The direction of the force will be given by the "right hand rule" associated with the vector product that defines this force.

Since the current is moving East, and the magnetic field of the Earth goes from North to South, the resultant Force vector will be pointing towards the Earth (and perpendicular to the plane defined by the current's direction and the magnetic field B)

The magnitude of the force, is given by the formula above, and given that all quantities to be considered are is SI units, it will result in Newtons (N):

F=I\,L\,B\\F=2\,*\,1.2\,*\,4.9\,10^{-5}\,N\\F=1.176\,10^{-4}\,N

A car starts to move from rest and covers a distance of 360m in one minute. Calculate the acceleration of the car.
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]
<h2>The acceleration of car is 0.2 ms⁻²</h2>

Explanation:

When the car moves , the distance covered is calculated by the relation

S = u t + \frac{1}{2} a t²

In this question u = 0 , because car was at rest initially

Thus S =  \frac{1}{2} a t²

here S is displacement and a is the acceleration of car

Therefore  360 =  \frac{1}{2} a ( 60 )²

Because time taken is one minute or 60 seconds

Therefore a = \frac{360x2}{3600}

or a = 0.2 m s⁻²

Work of 5 Joules is done in stretching a spring from its natural length to 19 cm beyond its natural length. What is the force (i
densk [106]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

5J work is done by stretching a spring

e = 19cm = 0.19m

Assuming the spring is ideal, then we can apply Hooke's law

F = kx

To calculate k, we can apply the Workdone by a spring formula

W=∫F.dx

Since F=kx

W = ∫kx dx from x = 0 to x = 0.19

W = ½kx² from x = 0 to x = 0.19

W = ½k (0.19²-0²)

5 = ½k(0.0361-0)

5×2 = 0.0361k

Then, k = 10/0.0361

k = 277.008 N/m

The spring constant is 277.008N/m

Then, applying Hooke's law to find the applied force

F = kx

F = 277.008 × 0.19

F = 52.63 N

The applied force is 52.63N

The table below describes some features of methods used to generate electricity. What is method 3?
blondinia [14]

Answer:

dam/hydro power

Explanation:

estuary is the place where rivers meet the ocean, there are a lot of currents there (waves...) so it likely means thery use a dam or some sort of way of collecting electricity from the motion of the water there. many birds live in estuaries because of being able to find fish to feed from
