You are currently in a stable orbit 9000 km (1km=1000m) from the center of planet Proxima Centauri B.
According to the calculations done by NASA, Planet Proxima Centauri B has a mass of approximately 7.6x10^24kg.
Based on fuel consumption and expected material aboard the ship, your colony ship lander has a mass of approximately 1.1x10^5 kg.

1. Using Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation, determine what the force of gravity on your ship at that orbit be using the early measurements

2.Using Newton’s second law determine the acceleration of your lander due to gravity

3.Upon arrival, you measure the actual force of gravity to be 6x10^5 N,which is different from your calculated value in question 1. Identify 2 specific possible causes that would account for the difference in expected vs. actual values, and why they would affect the calculation.

Answers

Answer 1

Explanation:

bro this question looks like Astrophysics

Answer 2

By using the universal gravitational law, the gravitational force between the lander and the planet is 688.4 × 10³ N. The acceleration due to gravity of the lander is 6.25 m/s² . The slight changes in gravity may be due to the change with different latitudes of the planet.

What is gravitational force?

Gravitational force is the force by which an object attracts other objects into its center of mass. According to universal gravitational law, the gravitational force can be calculated for two masses m1 and m2 at a distance of r with gravitational constant G as follows:

g = G m1m2/r²

Apply the given values of mass and orbital radius to the equation as follows:

g = (6.647 × 10⁻¹¹ N m² Kg⁻²) (1.1 × 10⁵ Kg × 7.6×10²⁴ Kg ) / (9 × 10⁶ m)²

  =  688.4 × 10³ N.

The acceleration due to gravity of the lander = force /mass

                                                                           =   688.4 × 10³ N /1.1 × 10⁵Kg

                                                                           = 6.25 m/s²

The actual force of gravity may change from the may slightly change from the calculated value because different latitudes will experience different gravity.

A substance is tested and has a pH of 8.4. What would you classify it as?

A. A strong acid
B. A strong base
C. A weak acid
D. A weak base

Answers

Answer:

D

Explanation:

7 is neutral on a PH scale. Anything less is an acid and anything higher is a base. A Ph scale goes from 1-13. 8.4-7=1.4. This is a small change so it is considered a weak base. Can I get brainliest?

Answer:

D.A weak base

Explanation:

The pH of a weak base falls somewhere between 7 and 10. Like weak acids, weak bases do not undergo complete dissociation; instead, their ionization is a two-way reaction with a definite equilibrium point. While strong bases release hydroxide ions via dissociation, weak bases generate hydroxide ions by reacting with water. Ammonia (NH3) and methylamine (CH3NH2) are examples of weak bases.

Rusting is the process of corroding metallic parts by the action of water and air. Iron forms iron oxide by reacting with water or air.

What is rusting ?

Rusting is the process of corrosion of  metallic parts by forming a red oxide film on the surface of the metals containing Fe.  Metals on reacting with water or air destroys by the action of oxygen.

Mostly iron and copper undergo corrosion. Corrosion is an electrochemical process by which the metal part undergo reduction and deposits in cathode.

Iron easily undergo corrosion forming rust or the red colored iron oxide. Iron react with water through air or water and forms iron oxide on the metal surface which eventually cover the whole metal.

A truck at the top of the hill has higher gravitational potential energy then when it is at the bottom of the hill. Why does it roll downhill?
1. To increase its kinetic energy
2. To lower its potential energy
3. To increase the entropy of the universe
4. To decrease the entropy of the universe

Answers

Answer:

An object that goes up a hill will be going at a slower speed at the top than at the bottom of the hill. This is because moving up or down a hill changes one kind of energy into another. Objects at the bottom of the hill have more kinetic energy, which means they are moving faster.

You’re going on a plane from Alaska to Florida and you’re taking your bike. It’s the middle of the winter. You fill up your tires before you leave to a pressure of 4.72 atm on a day that is -3.50°C. When you arrive in FL at 42°C, you check the pressure in your tires before you ride and find the pressure to be:

Answers

Answer:

5.52atm

Explanation:

Using the pressure law formula:

P1/T1 = P2/T2

Where;

P1 = initial pressure (atm)

P2 = final pressure (atm)

T1 = initial temperature (K)

T2 = final temperature (K)

According to the question, the following information were provided;

P1 = 4.72 atm

P2 = ?

T1 = -3.50°C = -3.50 + 273 = 269.5K

T2 = 42°C = 42 + 273 = 315K

Using P1/T1 = P2/T2

4.72/269.5 = P2/315

CROSS MULTIPLY

4.72 × 315 = 269.5 × P2

1,486.8 = 269.5P2

P2 = 1,486.8 ÷ 269.5

P2 = 5.52atm

A sample of nitrogen gas occupies 9.20 L at 21degrees and 0.999m the pressure is decreased to 0.802 am at constant temperature, what is the
newly occupied volume?

Answers

Answer: The newly occupied volume is 11.46 L

Explanation:

Boyle's Law: This law states that pressure is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas at constant temperature and number of moles.

[tex]P\propto \frac{1}{V}[/tex]     (At constant temperature and number of moles)

[tex]P_1V_1=P_2V_2[/tex]  

where,

[tex]P_1[/tex] = initial pressure of gas  = 0.999 atm

[tex]P_2[/tex] = final pressure of gas = 0.802 atm

[tex]V_1[/tex] = initial volume of gas  = [tex]9.20 L[/tex]

[tex]V_2[/tex] = final volume of gas  = ?

[tex]0.999\times 9.20=0.802\times V_2[/tex]  

[tex]V_2=11.46L[/tex]

Therefore, the newly occupied volume is 11.46 L
