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

If Emily throws the ball at an angle of 30∘ below the horizontal with a speed of 12m/s, how far from the base of the dorm should
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

3.6 m

Explanation:

let x = horizontal distance between emily and allison should be for allison to catch the ball

Find horizontal speed of the ball

vx = 12 sin 30 = 12 x 0.5 = 6 m/s

To find time taken, we will use vertical values of the ball motion

Initial velocity in vertical direction

u = 12 cos 30 = 10.392 m/s

let a = g = 9.8m/s2

Use equation of motion

s = ut +1/2at^2

s = vertical distance = 8

8 = (10.392)t + (1/2)(9.8)t^2

8 = (10.392)t + (4.9)t^2

4.9t^2 + 10.392t - 8 = 0

Using formula of quadratic or calculator, we'll find

t = 0.6 and t = -2.72

We pick t=0.6s since it's not logical time in negative

Assuming no air resistance or external forces, the ball will move 6m/s horizontally. Hence using the formula of speed

speed vx = distance x / time

x = (vx)(t)

  = 6 x 0.6

  = 3.6 m

DiKsa [7]
<h2><u>Answer:</u></h2>

The simulation kept track of the variables and automatically recorded data on object displacement, velocity, and momentum. If the trials were run on a real track with real gliders, using stopwatches and meter sticks for measurement, the data compared by the following statements:

1. (There would be variables that would be hard to control, leading to less reliable data.)

3. (Meter sticks may lack precision or may be read incorrectly.)

4. (Real glider data may vary since real collisions may involve loss of energy.)

5. (Human error in recording or plotting the data could be a factor.)

First find ∮RB⃗ ⋅dl⃗ , the line integral of B⃗ around a loop of radius R located just outside the left capacitor plate. This can
Allisa [31]

Answer:

the expression of current in the loop enclosed to the left of the capacitor plate is

I(t) = \frac{1}{\mu_0}\int B. dL

Explanation:

As we know by Ampere's law that line integral of magnetic field around a closed loop is proportional to the current enclosed in the path

So we will have

\int B. dL = \mu_0 I(t)

so we have

I(t) = \frac{1}{\mu_0}\int B. dL

so above is the expression of current in the loop enclosed to the left of the capacitor plate

30) A force produces power P by doing work W in a time T. What power will be produced by a force that does six times as much wor
schepotkina [342]

Answer:

A) 12P

Explanation:

The power produced by a force is given by the equation

P=\frac{W}{T}

where

W is the work done by the force

T is the time in which the work is done

At the beginning in this problem, we have:

W = work done by the force

T = time taken

So the power produced is

P=\frac{W}{T}

Later, the force does six times more work, so the work done now is

W'=6W

And this work is done in half the time, so the new time is

T'=\frac{T}{2}

Substituting into the equation of the power, we find the new power produced:

P'=\frac{W'}{T'}=\frac{6W}{T/2}=12\frac{W}{T}=12P

So, 12 times more power.
