An astronaut is standing on the surface of a planet that has a mass of 6.42×1023 kg and a radius of 3397 km. The astronaut fires

a 2.6-g bullet straight up into the air with an initial velocity of 406 m/s. What is the greatest height the bullet will reach? The planet has no atmosphere.

The final calculated height is 22.2 km. By converting 3397 km to meters, we achieve 3397000m. Using the gravitational constant, we compute the gravitational acceleration on the planet in accordance with Newton's law of gravitation, where M and R represent the planet's mass and radius, respectively. As the bullet ascends to its peak height, its kinetic energy transitions to potential energy. We account for the bullet mass and its initial velocity of 406 m/s, simplifying both sides of the equation to ultimately express the height reached as 22.2 km.

A copper sphere was moving at 25 m/s when it hit another object. This caused all of the KE to be converted into thermal energy f
kicyunya [3294]

Answer:

\Delta T = 0.81 ^oC

Explanation:

According to the principle of energy conservation

all kinetic energy will change into thermal energy to increase its temperature

\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = ms\Delta T

Next, divide both sides by the object's mass

\frac{1}{2}v^2 = s\Delta T

the resulting temperature change is expressed as

\Delta T = \frac{v^2}{2s}

\Delta T = \frac{25^2}{2\times 387}

\Delta T = 0.81^oC

A block moves at 5 m/s in the positive x direction and hits an identical block, initially at rest. A small amount of gunpowder h
Yuliya22 [3333]

Answer:

Speeds of 1.83 m/s and 6.83 m/s

Explanation:

Based on the law of conservation of momentum,

mv_o=m(v_1 + v_2)where m represents mass, v_o is the initial speed before impact, v_1 and v_2 are the velocities of the impacted object after the collision and of the originally stationary object after the impact.

5m=m(v_1 +v_2)

Thus, v_1+v_2=5

After the collision, the kinetic energy doubles, therefore:

2m*(0.5mv_o)=0.5m(v_1^{2}+v_2^{2})

2v_o^{2}=v_1^{2} + v_2^{2}

Substituting the initial velocity of 5 m/s provides the equation needed to proceed.v_o

2*(5^{2})= v_1^{2} + v_2^{2}We know that v_1+v_2=5 leads to v_1=5-v_2

50=(5-v_2)^{2}+ v_2^{2}

50=25+v_2^{2}-10v_2+v_2^{2}

2v_2^{2}-10v_2-25=0

Using the quadratic formula leads us to solve for the speeds after the explosion, specifically where a=2, b=-10, and c=-25. v_2=6.83 m/s

By substituting the values, the solution yields results for the speeds of the blocks, which are ultimately 1.83 m/s and 6.83 m/s.

The plates of a parallel-plate capacitor are 2.50 mm apart, and each carries a charge of magnitude 80.0 nC. The plates are in va
serg [3582]

Answer:

10000 V

0.00225988700565 m²

8\times 10^{-12}\ F

Explanation:

E = Electric field = 4\times 10^6\ V/m

d = Distance = 2.5 mm

Q = Charge = 80 nC

\epsilon_0 = Permittivity of free space = 8.85\times 10^{-12}\ F/m

The potential difference is calculated as

V=Ed\\\Rightarrow V=4\times 10^6\times 2.5\times 10^{-3}\\\Rightarrow V=10000\ V

The potential difference across the plates amounts to 10000 V

Area is determined by

A=\dfrac{Q}{\epsilon_0E}\\\Rightarrow A=\dfrac{80\times 10^{-9}}{8.85\times 10^{-12}\times 4\times 10^6}\\\Rightarrow A=0.00225988700565\ m^2

The area of each plate measures 0.00225988700565 m²

Capacitance is determined by

C=\dfrac{\epsilon_0A}{d}\\\Rightarrow C=\dfrac{8.85\times 10^{-12}\times 0.00225988700565}{2.5\times 10^{-3}}\\\Rightarrow C=8\times 10^{-12}\ F

The capacitance is 8\times 10^{-12}\ F

A projectile is fired from ground level with a speed of 150 m/s at an angle 30.° above the horizontal on an airless planet where
Yuliya22 [3333]

Answer:

130 m/s (to two significant figures)

Explanation:

In projectile motion, the launching velocity and launch angle help to determine both the horizontal and vertical velocity components.

u represents the initial projectile velocity = 150 m/s

uₓ = u cos θ = 150 cos 30° = 129.9 m/s

uᵧ = u sin θ = 150 sin 30° = 75.0 m/s

A projectile's motion can be viewed as made up of independent vertical and horizontal elements.

The vertical motion is affected by gravitational acceleration (which pulls down on the projectile), altering the vertical velocity component due to this acting force.

Conversely, there is no acting force in the horizontal direction, which means the horizontal component maintains a steady velocity throughout the projectile's flight.

Thus, at t = 4 s, the horizontal component of the projectile's speed remains equal to the initial horizontal velocity component.

At t = 4 s, the horizontal component of velocity is uₓ = u cos θ = 150 cos 30° = 129.9 m/s ≈ 130 m/s
