Hi there!

Recall the equation for gravitational potential energy:
GPE = U = mgh

m = mass (kg)
g = acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s²)

h = height (m)

We are given the GPE, so we can solve for mass:
86000 = m * 2000 * 9.8

Solve for m:
m = \frac{86000}{2000(9.8)} = \boxed{4.39 kg}

What is needed to create a magnetic field?
lara [203]

Explanation:

A magnetic field can be created by running electricity through a wire. All magnetic fields are created by moving charged particles. Even the magnet on your fridge is magnetic because it contains electrons that are constantly moving around inside

Objects P and Q are placed in a bowl of water. P floats and Q sinks. Which one or more of the following can be deduced from this
Lady bird [3.3K]

The correct option that can be deduced for both Object P and Q is Option b) I and II only

To solve this question correctly, we need to understand the concept of density and it relation to mass and volume.

<h3>What is Density?</h3>

Density is a physical property of an object and can be expressed by using the relation:

\mathbf{Density = \dfrac{mass}{volume}}

From the given parameters, we are being told that:

  • P → floats
  • Q → sinks

This implies that Q has a greater density that P. Since Q has a greater density than P, Q will be heavier since it will have greater mass.

However, Q will not be denser than water because if that happens, P will be have a greater density which is untrue in this scenario.

Therefore, we can conclude that:

  • 1. Q is heavier than P
  • II. 1cm³ of Q has a greater mass than 1cm³ of P

Ixchelt burns her tongue when she takes a sip of hot coffee from her mug. Which part of this example represents heat?
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

"The thermal energy moving from her coffee to the tongue" represent the heat.

Here coffee is at high temperature while tongue is at low temperature, when Ixchelt tongue make contact with coffee then thermal energy of coffee is absorbed by tongue and tongue gets burned.

As heat always from high Potential to low that is why heat is absorbed by tongue.

A satellite of mass m is in a circular orbit of radius R2 around a spherical planet of radius R1 made of a material with density
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

a)      K = 2/3 π G m ρ R₁³ / R₂ ,  b) U = - G m M / r

Explanation:

The law of universal gravitation is

     F = G m M / r²

Part A

Let's use Newton's second law

     F = m a

The acceleration is centripetal

     a = v² / R₂

     

      G m M / R₂² = m v² / R₂

      v² = G M / R₂

They give us the density of the planet

    ρ = M / V

    V = 4/3 π R₁³

    M =   ρ V

    M =   ρ 4/3 π R₁³

    v² = 4/3 π G  ρ R₁³ / R₂

    K = ½ m v²

    K = ½ m (4/3 π G ρ R₁³ / R₂)

    K = 2/3 π G m ρ R₁³ / R₂

Part B

Potential energy and strength are related

     F = - dU / dr

     ∫ dU = - ∫ F. dr

The force was directed towards the center and the vector r outwards therefore there is an angle of 180º between the two cos 180 = -1

    U- U₀ = G m M ∫ dr / r²

    U - U₀ = G m M (- r⁻¹)

We evaluate for

    U - U₀ = -G m M (1 / r_{f} -  1 /r_{i})

They indicate that for ri = ∞     U₀ = 0

    U = - G m M / r
