Suppose we have a space ship orbiting the earth. What must happen in order for the spaceship to leave orbit and fall back toward

earth?
The spaceship will fall back toward earth on its own but you have to just wait for it to fall.

The spaceship's forward motion must be slowed down so the earth's gravitational pull on it will be stronger than the ship's forward motion.

The spaceship's forward motion must be sped up so the earth's gravitational pull on it will be weaker than the ship's forward motion.

It is not possible for a spaceship orbiting the earth to leave orbit and fall back to earth once it is in orbit.

The purpose of a fuse or circuit breaker is _____.
ExtremeBDS [4]
What a sloppy question ! The purpose of a fuse or circuit breaker is to shut down the circuit when current reaches a magnitude indicating danger due to a serious malfunction. When current IS flowing in the circuit, it's always flowing at the same speed.

The momentum of a neutron p = 586.25 kg m / s.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The product of mass and the velocity gives the momentum of an object and it is a vector quantity. It is denoted by the letter p. The unit of momentum is kilogram meter per second (or) kg m / s.

Given mass m = 1.675 \times 10,            velocity v = 3.500 \times 10

                  Momentum, p = mv

where m represents the mass,

          v represents the velocity.

                   momentum p = (1.675 \times 10) \times (3.500 \times 10)

                   momentum p = 586.25 kg m / s.

An athlete can twirl a baton so that it reaches an angular velocity of 12 rad/s from rest in 0.5 s. If the length of a uniform b
NikAS [45]

Answer:

The torque needed is 46.08 Nm

Explanation:

Given;

angular velocity, ω = 12 rad/s

time of motion, t = 0.5 s

length of the baton, r = 0.8 m

mass of the baton, 0.5 kg

The torque needed to  reach the angular velocity is given by;

τ = F x r

where;

F is the centripetal force of the baton

r is the length of the baton = radius of the circular motion of the baton

F_c =ma_c= \frac{mv^2}{r} = m\omega^2 r

Torque is given by;

\tau = F_c *r\\\\\tau = m \omega^2 r *r\\\\\tau = m \omega^2 r^2 \\\\\tau = (0.5)(12)^2(0.8)^2\\\\\tau = 46.08 \ N m

Therefore, the torque needed is 46.08 Nm
