Zero, a hypothetical planet, has a mass of 5.8 x 1023 kg, a radius of 2.7 x 106 m, and no atmosphere. a 10 kg space probe is to

be launched vertically from its surface. (a) if the probe is launched with an initial kinetic energy of 5.0 x 107 j, what will be its kinetic energy when it is 4.0 x 106 m from the center of zero? (b) if the probe is to achieve a maximum distance of 8.0 x 106 m from the center of zero, with what initial kinetic energy must it be launched from the surface of zero?

To answer these questions just use the equations for potential energy using the mass and heights described. the potential energy at the prescribed heights = the initial kinetic energy required to reach that height.

Make sure you calculate the force of gravity on the surface using the radius of the planet.

Given that water at standard pressure freezes at 0∘c, which corresponds to 32∘f, and that it boils at 100∘c, which corresponds t
Zolol [24]
The temperature difference of 1 K is equivalent to the temperature difference of 1 °C. Therefore, we find the relationship between the change in °F and °C.
A change of 212 - 32 °F is the same as a change of 100 - 0 °C. Thus:
(212 - 32) °F = (100 - 0) °C
1 °C = 1.8 °F
1 K = 1.8 °F

Explain the difference between speed and velocity and indicate if these are scalar or vector quantities
Natali5045456 [20]
Speed can never be negative because it does not depend in which direction the car moves whereas, velocity will change if a car turns from due North to East.
Quantities which can be described only by their magnitudes are called scalars and those which are described by both, magnitude and direction are vectors

In a concave mirror parallel rays falling on it convergs at
ella [17]

Answer:

1) In a concave mirror parallel rays falling on it converges at F and 2F.

Explanation:

Spherical mirrors can be used for magnification of images. There are basically two types of spherical mirrors and they are converging mirror and diverging mirrors. The converging mirrors are also termed as concave mirrors and its basic work is to converge or combine light rays coming from a larger distance to a single point. Mostly the light beams falling parallel to the principle axis of the concave mirror will be acting as parallel rays. And when these parallel rays fall on the mirror, the converging point can be the focal point of the mirror.

Thus the location of converging point in concave mirrors will be based on the position or distance of object from the mirror. If the object distance is very far from the twice the focal length distance of mirror, then the converging point will be the focal point or F. And if the object is placed slightly greater than twice the distance of focal point, then the image will be obtained at 2F. But the parallel beams will be converging at F and 2F.

Scientific knowledge is generally considered to have a positive effect on society. In which situation would scientific knowledge
attashe74 [19]
Scientific knowledge itself cannot have a positive or negative impact on society per se. What can have a negative or positive impact is how this knowledge is being used. 

While we all enjoy a beter life due to advancements in medicine and technology for example, this was because people decided they would put certain scientific discoveries into practice and spread them among the people.

The same thing can also be said for negative scientific discoveries. While energy produced in atomic power plants per se isn't harmful, when making an atomic bomb out of it, it can be disastrous. It was the intention of doing something evil with it that might have had a negative impact on society, not the knowledge itself.
