Answer:

It can be shown that the potential energy of an object at the surface of the planet would be -G M / R if the potential at infinity is chosen to be zero.

Kinetic energy of G M / R would be required for the escape speed of such an object. The total energy in all such cases is zero.

This can easily be seen by considering the speed of an object falling from infinity towards the planet - the total energy will remain zero if it was zero when the object started to fall.

Which of the following statements about elements and atoms is true?
Deffense [45]

Answer:

A. Atoms are the smallest unit of an element.

Explanation:

The correct statement from the given choices is that atoms are the smallest unit of an element.

Atoms are the smallest particles that takes part in chemical reactions and they are made up of protons, neutrons and electrons.

  • Elements are distinct substances that cannot be split up into simpler substances.
  • They are made up of only one kind of atoms.
  • Elements are not changed into atoms by chemical reactions.
  • In chemical reactions, atoms simply recombine.

A flat coil of wire has an area A, N turns, and a resistance R. It is situated in a magnetic field, such that the normal to the
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

3.4 x 10^-4 T

Explanation:

A = 1.5 x 10^-3 m^2

N = 50

R = 180 ohm

q = 9.3 x 106-5 c

Let B be the magnetic field.

Initially the normal of coil is parallel to the magnetic field so the magnetic flux is maximum and then it is rotated by 90 degree, it means the normal of the coil makes an angle 90 degree with the magnetic field so the flux is zero .

Let e be the induced emf and i be the induced current

e = rate of change of magnetic flux

e = dФ / dt

i / R = B x A / t

i x t / ( A x R) = B

B = q / ( A x R)

B = (9.3 x 10^-5) / (1.5 x 10^-3 x 180) = 3.4 x 10^-4 T

How long does it take a bird to fly 2.5 km if a bird can fly 23km/h?
Lina20 [59]
Time = Distance / speed

Time =  2.5 km / 23 km/h

         = 0.1087 hours                      1 hour = 60 minutes
         =  0.1087 * 60 minutes
         =  6.522 minutes.

ANSWER 5 AND 8!!!!!;$$4$;$;
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

5 ) The mass, 6) with lubrication and using surfaces that are not rough

Explanation:

5) If two bodies are held regardless of their densities and can be combined by some chemical or physical process, the only physical property to be modified will be the mass of the resulting body.

8)

Friction depends on the contact between two surfaces and when a body has a relative motion with respect to a contact surface. In order to reduce friction the contact surface must be lubricated, also the friction depends on the coefficient of friction between surfaces and the normal force exerted by the surface parallel to the area of contact with the body. Mathematically it can be expressed with the following equation.

F_{f} = u*N\\where:\\u = friction coefficient\\N = normal force [Newtons]\\F_{f}= friction force [Newtons]
