Answer:

OPTION 5

Explanation:

As the force has no moment arm, it creates no torque about point P.

A 100-kg spacecraft is in a circular orbit about Earth at a height h = 2RE .
maria [59]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the conservation of the Gravitational Force and the centripetal force by equilibrium,

F_g = F_c

\frac{GmM}{r^2} = \frac{mv^2}{r}

Where,

m = Mass of spacecraft

M = Mass of Earth

r = Radius (Orbit)

G = Gravitational Universal Music

v = Velocity

Re-arrange to find the velocity

\frac{GM}{r^2} = \frac{v^2}{r}

\frac{GM}{r} = v^2

v = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{r}}

PART A ) The radius of the spacecraft's orbit is 2 times the radius of the earth, that is, considering the center of the earth, the spacecraft is 3 times at that distance. Replacing then,

v = \sqrt{\frac{(6.67*10^{-11})(5.97*10^{24})}{3*(6.371*10^6)}}

v = 4564.42m/s

From the speed it is possible to use find the formula, so

T = \frac{2\pi r}{v}

T = \frac{2\pi (6.371*10^6)}{4564.42}

T = 8770.05s\approx 146min\approx 2.4hour

Therefore the orbital period of the spacecraft is 2 hours and 24 minutes.

PART B) To find the kinetic energy we simply apply the definition of kinetic energy on the ship, which is

KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^2

KE = \frac{1}{2} (100)(4564.42)^2

KE = 1.0416*10^9J

Therefore the kinetic energy of the Spacecraft is 1.04 Gigajules.

Convection occurs when thermal energy is transferred by the movement of
madam [21]

Answer:

Convection is the transfer of thermal energy from one place to another by the movement of gas or liquid particles. How does this happen? As a gas or liquid is heated, the substance expands. This is because the particles in liquids and gases gain kinetic energy when they are heated and start to move faster.

A baseball pitcher throws a ball at 90.0 mi/h in the horizontal direction. How far does the ball fall vertically by the time it
Lisa [10]

Answer:

Vertical distance=  3.3803ft

Explanation:

First with the speed of the ball and the distance traveled horizontally we can determine the flight time to reach the plate:

Velocity= (90 mi/h) × (1 mile/5280ft) = 475200ft/h

Distance= Velocity × time⇒ time= 60.5ft / (475200ft/h) = 0.00012731h

time=  0.00012731h × (3600s/h)= 0.458316s

With this time we can determine the distance traveled vertically taking into account that its initial vertical velocity is zero and its acceleration is that of gravity, 9.81m/s²:

Vertical distance= (1/2) × 9.81 (m/s²) × (0.458316s)²=1.0303m

Vertical distance= 1.0303m × (1ft/0.3048m) = 3.3803ft

This is the vertical distance traveled by the ball from the time it is thrown by the pitcher until it reaches the plate, regardless of air resistance.

I need help in this small question:
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

1) The energy released during nuclear fission or fusion, especially when used to generate electricity is called nuclear energy.

2) It is not renewable because it is an element that has no way whatsoever to regenerate or replicate itself, nor gets created by any natural terrestrial means, neither makes itself available by arriving from outer space (like sunlight). There is a limited amount of it available on the Earth, and every bit you use is a bit you’ll never have available again (as Uranium atoms get destroyed by the fission process).

Hope this helps You
