4. Two students have volunteered to explore the galaxy in a spaceship. As they travel through space, they
measure the magnitude of the gravitational force between their spaceship and the Earth. They find that the
gravitational force on the spaceship is -
A. proportional to the distance from the Earth
B. inversely proportional to the distance from the Earth
C. proportional to the square of the distance from the Earth
D. inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the Earth

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:B

Explanation:

Answer 2

They find that the gravitational force on the spaceship is inversely proportional to the distance from the Earth. The correct option is B.

What is gravitational force?

The gravitational pull would be stronger if the gap were cut in half. Coulomb's law, states that the gravitational force between two items in the universe is directly proportional to the product of the masses of the objects.

And inversely proportional to the distance between them is used to calculate the gravitational force between two objects in the universe. Whether there is a body there or not, gravity is the force between two bodies.

Everybody in the cosmos is drawn to every other body by a force that is directly inversely correlated to the square of the distance between them and directly inversely correlated to the product of their masses.

Therefore, the correct option is B. inversely proportional to the distance from the Earth.

What is the weight of a 82.1 kg object on Jupiter, where the acceleration due to gravity is 24.5 m/s2?

Answers

The answer is A or B

an 80kg skier has a force of 200n exerted on him down the slope
calculate his acceleration down the slope​

Answers

Use the formula f = m•a and rearrange it to solve for a.

f = m•a
a = f/m
a = 200 N/ 80Kg
a = 2.5 m/s
therefore the acceleration of the skier down the slope is 2.5 m/s.

Frodo is initially at rest on frictionless roller skates. How much

MOMENTUM does the bowling ball have BEFORE it is caught? *

Answers

Answer:

The initial momentum of the bowling ball is 20 kgm/s.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the bowling ball, m₁ = 5.0 kg

initial velocity of the bowling ball, u₁ = 4.0 m/s

mass of the Frodo, m₂ = 60 kg

initial velocity of Frodo, u₂ = 0

The initial momentum of the bowling ball is calculated as;

P = m₁u₁

P = 5 x 4

P = 20 kgm/s

Therefore, the initial momentum of the bowling ball is 20 kgm/s.

a. gamma rays
b. infrared
c. x rays
d. ultraviolet rays

Answers

Answer: b. infrared

Explanation:

The visible light with the smaller frequency is associated with the color red.

While the blue is the one with the larger frequency.

Now, as the name says, infrared waves are the ones with a frequency just below the one of the red visible light.

Where the frequency of the red light is something around (4.3*10^14 Hz)

and the frequency of the infrared waves is in the range between (10^12 Hz and 10^14 Hz)

Then the correct option is b, infrared.

The second law of thermodynamics explains which of the following?
•Why fire occurs in nature.
•Why time can only move forward.
•Why the universe is actualy shrinking.
•Why car engines are not perfectly efficient.

Answers

Answer:

The correct option is;

Why car engines are not perfectly efficient

Explanation:

The Second Law of Thermodynamics states that the total entropy, S, of a system combined with the entropy of its surrounding cannot be decreased, such that for an irreversible process, the entropy always increases and [tex]S_f[/tex] > [tex]S_i[/tex], while for a reversible process the entropy is constant and [tex]S_f = S_i[/tex]

The entropy is a measure of the amount of useful work obtainable from heat (or thermal) energy

A system with a low entropy has high amounts of heat energy capable of doing work while a high entropy system can produce only a small amount of useful work from the available thermal energy

In car engines, as the parts start to move, the entropy of the system increases alongside the generated heat lost to the environment, the amount of heat available for doing work reduces and therefore, the entropy increases further and the ratio of work obtainable from a given input of heat energy reduces and therefore, the car engine is not perfectly efficient.

Explanation:

A motor is an electrical device or machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. That is, a motor takes electrical energy to produce motion. There are different types of motors such as DC motor, induction motor and so on.

When electrical current flows through a coil, a magnetic flux is been produced, therefore when a rotating power source is supplied to coil of a motor, a magnetic field is produced which causes torque.

Answer:

A: Motor.

Explanation:

It’ll be a motor because motors use rotating electric power sources to produce magnetic fields.

Solution:

The mass of a substance is the quantity of matter such body possess. Mass is the same.

So, the mass of earth and on Jupiter is the same.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Magnetic and electric fields form a right angle with each other along the

path of a moving electromagnetic wave.

What is electromagnetic wave?

The oscillations between an electric field and a magnetic field produce waves known as electromagnetic waves, or EM waves. In other words, magnetic and electric fields oscillate to form electromagnetic (EM) waves.

When an electric field interacts with a magnetic field, electromagnetic waves are created. Therefore, they are referred to as "electromagnetic" waves. An electromagnetic wave's electric field and magnetic field are perpendicular to one another (at right angles). Additionally, they are perpendicular to the EM wave's direction.

In vacuum, EM waves move at a fixed speed of 3.00 x 10⁸ m/s. Neither the magnetic field nor the electric field can deflect them. They can, however, exhibit diffraction or interference.

In electromagnetic wave the magnetic and electric fields form a right angle with each other  along the path of a moving electromagnetic wave.

Un globo sonda de 155 L de volumen a 1 atm se deja subir a una altura de 6 Km, donde la presión es de 0,8 amt. Suponiendo que la temperatura permanece constante, ¿Cuál es el volumen final del globo?

Answers

Answer:

El volumen final del globo es 193.75 L.

Explanation:

La ley de Boyle establece que “El volumen ocupado por una determinada masa gaseosa a temperatura constante, es inversamente proporcional a la presión”

La ley de Boyle se expresa matemáticamente como:  P*V=k  donde k es una constante.

En esta ley entonces se relacionan dos variables: presión y volumen, por lo que se asume que la temperatura del gas y el número de moléculas del gas son contantes.

Ahora es posible suponer que tienes un cierto volumen de gas V1 que se encuentra a una presión P1 al comienzo del experimento. Si varias el volumen de gas hasta un nuevo valor V2, entonces la presión cambiará a P2, y se cumplirá:

P1*V1=P2*V2

En este caso:

P1= 1 atmV1= 155 LP2= 0.8 atmV2= ?

Reemplazando:

1 atm* 155 L=0.8 atm*V2

y  resolviendo se obtiene:

[tex]V2=\frac{1 atm*155 L}{0.8 atm}[/tex]

V2= 193.75 L

El volumen final del globo es 193.75 L.

An arrow of 43 g moving at 84 m/s to the right, strikes an apple at rest. The arrow sticks to the apple and both travel at 16.8 m/s after impact. What is the mass of the apple?

(Plz help ASAP!!! I will give you 50 points)

Answers

Answer:

The mass of the apple is 0.172 kg (172 g)

Explanation:

The Law Of Conservation Of Linear Momentum

The total momentum of a system of bodies is conserved unless an external force is applied to it. The formula for the momentum of a body with mass m and speed v is  

P=mv.  

If we have a system of two bodies, then the total momentum is the sum of both momentums:

[tex]P=m_1v_1+m_2v_2[/tex]

If a collision occurs and the velocities change to v', the final momentum is:

[tex]P'=m_1v'_1+m_2v'_2[/tex]

Since the total momentum is conserved, then:

P = P'

Or, equivalently:

[tex]m_1v_1+m_2v_2=m_1v'_1+m_2v'_2[/tex]

If both masses stick together after the collision at a common speed v', then:

[tex]m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)v'[/tex]

We are given the mass of an arrow m1=43 g = 0.043 kg traveling at v1=84 m/s to the right (positive direction). It strikes an apple of unknown mass m2 originally at rest (v2=0). The common speed after they collide is v'=16.8 m/s.

We need to solve the last equation for m2:

[tex]m_2v_2-m_2v'=m_1v'-m_1v_1[/tex]

Factoring m2 and m1:

[tex]m_2(v_2-v')=m_1(v'-v_1)[/tex]

Solving:

[tex]\displaystyle m_2=\frac{m_1(v'-v_1)}{v_2-v'}[/tex]

Substituting:

[tex]\displaystyle m_2=\frac{0.043(16.8-84)}{0-16.8}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle m_2=\frac{-2.8896}{-16.8}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle m_2=0.172\ kg[/tex]

The mass of the apple is 0.172 kg (172 g)
