A 4500-kg spaceship is in a circular orbit 190 km above the surface of Earth. It needs to be moved into a higher circular orbit

of 380 km to link up with the space station at that altitude. In this problem you can take the mass of the Earth to be 5.97 × 1024 kg.
I am confused how to solve this problem, please show how this answer is obtained.

Answer:

Explanation:

Total energy of a satellite in an orbit , h height away

= -  GMm /2 ( R + h )

When h = 380 km

Total energy of a satellite = \frac{6.67\times10^{-11}\times5.97\times10^{24}\times 4500}{2\times(6378+380)\times10^3}

=  - 13.25 x 10¹⁰ J

When h = 190 km

Total energy of a satellite =

\frac{6.67\times10^{-11}\times5.97\times10^{24}\times 4500}{2\times(6378+190)\times10^3}

=   - 13.63 x 10¹⁰ J

Diff

= 38 x 10⁸ J Energy will be required.

The human ear canal is, on average, 2.5cm long and aids in hearing by acting like a resonant cavity that is closed on one end an
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

3400 Hz

Explanation:

We know that

1 cm = 0.01 m

L = Length of the human ear canal = 2.5 cm = 0.025 m

V = Speed of sound = 340 ms⁻¹

f = First resonant frequency

The human ear canal behaves as a closed pipe and for a closed pipe, nth resonant frequency is given as

f = \frac{(2n - 1)V}{4L}

for first resonant frequency, we have n = 1

Inserting the values

f = \frac{(2(1) - 1) 340}{4(0.025)}

f = \frac{340}{4(0.025)}

f = 3400 Hz

molecular cloud <interstellar cloud <1 Msun protostar <1 Msun star <intercloud gas

Explanation:

<u>Molecular cloud-</u> They are a variety of interstellar cloud in which molecular hydrogen can sustain themselves. They have a very low temperature ranging from -440 to -370 degrees Fahrenheit or between<u> 10 to 50 Kelvin. </u>Owing to their extremely low temperature, they appear mostly dark when viewed through telescopes.

<u>Interstellar cloud-</u> They are a congregation of a large number of interstellar gases, dust and plasma in any galaxy or universe. They have varying temperature depending on their proximity to a star. E.g. Neutral hydrogen atom clouds have a temperature of around <u>just 100 Kelvin</u> while those in the near vicinity of a star have temperatures as high as 10,000 Kelvin.

<u>1 Msun star-</u> These stars have temperature anywhere between <u>5300 and 6000 Kelvin</u>. The main source of such high surface temperature is nuclear fusion process where elemental hydrogen molecules are fused to form helium molecules.  

<u>1 Msun protostar-</u> protostar is rather a young star which is still in formation phase (i.e. gathering mass from the parent molecular cloud). They have temperature anywhere between <u>2000-3000</u> kelvin and are accompanied by dust usually.

<u>Intercloud gas- </u>These are the remainder gases that are spread throughout the interstellar space. This Intercloud gas is divided into warm intercloud medium and extremely hot coronal gas with temperatures comparing to Sun’s corona. Warm intercloud forms the dominant part of intercloud gas with a temperature around <u>8000 Kelvin</u>.

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

Exploratory

Explanation:

<u>Focus groups</u>

It is a small group of 8-12 respondents guided by a moderator through a thorough debate on a specific subject or idea.It's great for generation of ideas, brainstorming, insight into motives, attitudes, and perceptions. it can  show likes, dislikes,emotional requirements and prejudices.

Exploratory methods are used to gain initial insights that could pave the way for further investigation.

Some of the exploratory methods are focus groups, Key informant,case studies,secondary data and observational data.

A stone with mass 0.80 kg is attached to one end of a string 0.90 m long. The string will break if its tension exceeds 60.0 N. T
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

v=8.2158m/s

Explanation:

(a) Free-body diagram attached.

(b) The stone attached with the string experiences both centripetal (towards the center) and centrifugal (away from the center) forces. The tension of the string counters the centrifugal force until it breaks.

We know that,

Centrifugal force = \frac{mv^2}{r}

where,

m = mass of the stone

v = velocity of the stone

r = length of the string

To find the maximum speed attained by the stone without the string breaking, we must equate:

\frac{mv^2}{r} =60

or, v=\sqrt \frac{{r\times 60}}{m} } =\sqrt{\frac{0.90\times60}{0.80} } =8.2158m/s

A rod (length = 80 cm) with a rectangular cross section (1.5 mm × 2.0 mm) has a resistance of 0.20 Ω. What is the resistivity of
Andru [333]

Answer:

The resistivity of the material used to make the rod is ρ= 7.5 * 10⁻⁷ Ω.m

Explanation:

R= 0.2 Ω

L= 0.8 m

S= 1.5mm*2mm= 3 mm² = 3 * 10⁻⁶ m²

ρ = (R*S)/L

ρ= 7.5 * 10⁻⁷ Ω.m
