the weight of the space probe on that planet is 50 N

To calculate the weight of the space probe, we use the formula below.

Formula:

  • W = mg

Where:

  • W = weight of the space probe on the planet
  • m = mass of the space probe
  • g = acceleration due to gravity.

From the question,

Given:

  • m = 25 kg
  • a = 2 m/s

Substitute these values into equation 1

  • W = 25(2)
  • W = 50 N.

Hence, the weight of the space probe on that planet is 50 N

When you're using a crowbar to lift a large rock, you are working against the force called

\boxed {\bf Gravity}


\bf Explanation:
Gravity on Earth is what gives weight to all objects, it's defined as all things that have mass or energy are gravitated towards each other. Therefore when you're using a crowbar to lift a large rock, the weight is caused by gravity.

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.

What should be angle between force and displacement to get the maximum work​
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer: The angle between force and displacement should be θ = 90° for minimum work. The angle between force and displacement should be θ = 0° for maximum work.

Why might the term red hot be misleading? (relating to stars)
Allushta [10]

red hot is hot, but other colours are even hotter. stars may be hotter than red hot.

there is also something calle the red shift.
