Answer:

Space junk, or space debris, is any piece of machinery or debris left by humans in space. It can refer to big objects such as dead satellites that have failed or been left in orbit at the end of their mission. It can also refer to smaller things, like bits of debris or paint flecks that have fallen off a rocket.

Answer:

In addition to derelict man-made objects left in orbit, other examples of space debris include fragments from their disintegration, erosion and collisions or even paint flecks, solidified liquids expelled from spacecraft, and unburned particles from solid rocket motors. Space debris represents a risk to spacecraft.

The figure above shows the net force exerted on an object as a function of the position of the object. The object starts from re

weqwewe [10]

Answer:

0.06 Kg

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Final velocity (v) = 3.0 m/s

Distance (s) = 0.09 m

Net Force (F) = 3 N

Mass (m) =?

Next, we shall determine the acceleration of the object. This can be obtained as follow:

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Final velocity (v) = 3.0 m/s

Distance (s) = 0.09 m

Acceleration (a) =?

v² = u² + 2as

3² = 0² + (2 × a × 0.09)

9 = 0 + 0.18a

9 = 0.18a

Divide both side by 0.18

a = 9 / 0.18

a = 50 m/s²

Finally, we shall determine the mass of the object. This can be obtained as follow:

Net Force (F) = 3 N

Acceleration (a) = 50 N

Mass (m) =?

F = ma

3 = m × 50

Divide both side by 50

m = 3 / 50

m = 0.06 Kg

Therefore, the mass of the object is 0.06 Kg

A 86 kg human stands on the surface of Venus. The mass of Venus is 4.9 × 1024 kg and its radius is 6.1 × 106 m. Collapse questio

iris [78.8K]

Answer:

755.37 N

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of venus= $m_1=4.9\times 10^{24}kg$

Radius= $r=6.1\times 10^6$ m

Mass of human= $m_2=86 kg$

We know that the gravitational force between two bodies

$F=G\frac{m_1m_2}{r^2}$

Where G=Gravitational constant= $6.67\times 10^{-11}Nm^2/kg^2$

Using the formula

The magnitude of the gravitational force exerted by Venus on the human= $F=\frac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 86\times 4.9\times 10^{24}}{(6.1\times 10^6)^2}$

The magnitude of the gravitational force exerted by Venus on the human=F= $755.37N$

If the magnitude of the magnetic field is 2.50 mT at a distance of 12.6 cm from a long straight current carrying wire, what is t

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

The magnetic field at a distance of 19.8 cm from the wire is 1.591 mT

Explanation:

Given;

first magnetic field at first distance, B₁ = 2.50 mT

first distance, r₁ = 12.6 cm = 0.126 m

Second magnetic field at Second distance, B₂ = ?

Second distance, r₂ = ?

Magnetic field for a straight wire is given as;

$B = \frac{\mu I}{2 \pi r}$

Where:

μ is permeability

B is magnetic field

I is current flowing in the wire

r distance to the wire

$Let \ \frac{\mu I}{2\pi} \ be \ constant; = K\\\\B = \frac{K}{r} \\\\K = Br\\\\B_1r_1 = B_2r_2\\\\B_2 =\frac{B_1r_1}{r_2} \\\\B_2 = \frac{2.5*10^{-3} *0.126}{0.198} \\\\B_2 = 1.591 *10^{-3}\ T\\\\B_2 = 1.591 \ mT$

Therefore, the magnetic field at a distance of 19.8 cm from the wire is 1.591 mT

Determine the linear velocity of an object with an angular velocity of 5.9 radians per second at a distance of 12 centimeters fr

Andre45 [30]

The linear velocity of a rotating object is the product of the angular velocity and the radius of the circular motion. Angular velocity is the rate of the change of angular displacement of a body that is in a circular motion. It is a vector quantity so it consists of a magnitude and direction. From the problem, the angular velocity is 5.9 rad per second and the radius is given as 12 centimeters. We calculate as follows:

Linear velocity = angular velocity (radius)
Linear velocity = 5.9 (12 ) = 70.8 cm / s

The linear velocity of the body in motion is 70.8 centimeters per second or 0.708 meters per second.
