Answer:

$\Delta KE = 4.20\times 10^{13}\ J$

Explanation:

given,

mass of spaceship(m) = 8600 Kg

Mass of earth = 5.972 x 10²⁴ Kg

position of movement of space ship

R₁ = 7300 Km

R₂ = 6700 Km

the kinetic energy of the spaceship increases by = ?

Increase in Kinetic energy = decrease in potential energy

$\Delta KE = GMm (\dfrac{1}{R_2}-\dfrac{1}{R_1})$

$\Delta KE = GMm (\dfrac{R_1-R_2}{R_2R_1})$

$\Delta KE = 6.67 \times 10^{-11}\times 5.972 \times 10^{24}\times 8600 (\dfrac{7300 - 6700}{7300 \times 6700})$

$\Delta KE = 6.67 \times 10^{-11}\times 5.972 \times 10^{24}\times 8600 (\dfrac{600}{48910000})$

$\Delta KE = 4.20\times 10^{13}\ J$

According to the nebular theory of solar system formation, what key difference in their early formation explains why the jovian

svp [43]

Answer:

The Jovian planets formed beyond the Frostline while the terrestrial planets formed in the Frostline in the solar nebular

Explanation:

The Jovian planets are the large planets namely Saturn, Jupiter, Uranus, and Neptune. The terrestrial planets include the Earth, Mercury, Mars, and Venus. According to the nebular theory of solar system formation, the terrestrial planets were formed from silicates and metals. They also had high boiling points which made it possible for them to be located very close to the sun.

The Jovian planets formed beyond the Frostline. This is an area that can support the planets that were made up of icy elements. The large size of the Jovian planets is as a result of the fact that the icy elements were more in number than the metal components of the terrestrial planets.

A person who climbs up something (e.g., a hill, a ladder, the stairs) from the ground gains potential energy. a person's weight

zhannawk [14.2K]

We are given the following values:

weight w = 240 lb = 1,067.52 N

energy E = 3,000 J

The formula for potential energy is:

E = w h

where h is the height the person has to climb, therefore:

h = 3000 / 1067.52

<span>h = 2.81 m</span>

<span>
</span>

<span>Therefore he has to climb 2.81 meters</span>

A steel rod with a length of l = 1.55 m and a cross section of A = 4.45 cm2 is held fixed at the end points of the rod. What is

Blababa [14]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to thermal stress. Said stress is defined as the amount of deformation caused by the change in temperature, based on the parameters of the coefficient of thermal expansion of the material, Young's module and the Area or area of the area.

$F = AY\alpha \Delta T$

Where

A = Cross-sectional Area

Y = Young's modulus

$\alpha$ = Coefficient of linear expansion for steel

$\Delta T$ = Temperature Raise

Our values are given as,

$A = 4.45cm^2$

$T = 37K$

$\alpha = 1.17*10^{-5}K^{-1}$

$Y = 200*10^9Gpa$

Replacing we have,

$F = (4.45*10^{-4})(200*10^9)(1.17*10^{-5})(37)$

$F = 38526.1N$

Therefore the size of the force developing inside the steel rod when its temperature is raised by 37K is 38526.1N

A hydrogen discharge lamp emits light with two prominent wavelengths: 656 nm (red) and 486 nm (blue). The light enters a flint-g

mezya [45]

Answer:

The angle between the red and blue light is 1.7°.

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength of red = 656 nm

Wavelength of blue = 486 nm

Angle = 37°

Suppose we need to find the angle between the red and blue light as it leaves the prism

$n_{r}=1.572$

$n_{b}=1.587$

We need to calculate the angle for red wavelength

Using Snell's law,

$n_{r}\sin\theta_{i}=n_{a}\sin\theta_{r}$

Put the value into the formula

$1.572\sin37=1\times\sin\theta_{r}$

$\theta_{r}=\sin^{-1}(\dfrac{1.572\sin37}{1})$

$\theta_{r}=71.0^{\circ}$

We need to calculate the angle for blue wavelength

Using Snell's law,

$n_{b}\sin\theta_{i}=n_{a}\sin\theta_{b}$

Put the value into the formula

$1.587\sin37=1\times\sin\theta_{b}$

$\theta_{b}=\sin^{-1}(\dfrac{1.587\sin37}{1})$

$\theta_{b}=72.7^{\circ}$

We need to calculate the angle between the red and blue light

Using formula of angle

$\Delta \theta=\theta_{b}-\theta_{r}$

Put the value into the formula

$\Delta \theta=72.7-71.0$

$\Delta \theta=1.7^{\circ}$

Hence, The angle between the red and blue light is 1.7°.

Assuming the pick-up trucks, trailers and road conditions are exactly the same, which vehicle will take a longer distance to sto

mars1129 [50]

I’ve answered this before so I know the question is missing an important given and that given is: <span>1 has an empty trailer and the other has a fully loaded one.

So, it would be the fully loaded trailer that would take a longer distance to stop because a lot of weight is being pulled, and when the brakes are started, the fully loaded trailer is more like pushing against the truck.</span>
