Gravitational force decreases with distance. what does this mean for a space traveler who leaves earth in a spaceship?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: This means that the farther away the astronaut is from the Earth, the less force gravity will be applying to his/her spacecraft. With this being said, once the astronaut breaks Earth's atmosphere, he can reduce the throttles a little to save on fuel, because he doesn't need all of that power to escape such a weak gravitational pull :D.

Given a 3.00 μF capacitor, a 7.75 μF capacitor, and a 5.00 V battery, find the charge on each capacitor if you connect them in the following ways. (a) in series across the battery 3.00 μF capacitor μC 7.75 μF capacitor μC (b) in parallel across the battery 3.00 μF capacitor μC 7.75 μF capacitor μC.

Answer:

a) Q1= Q2= 11.75×10^-6Coulombs

b) Q1 =15×10^-6coulombs

Q2 = 38.75×10^-6coulombs

Explanation:

a) For a series connected capacitors C1 and C2, their equivalent capacitance C is expressed as

1/Ct = 1/C1 + 1/C2

Given C1 = 3.00 μF C2 = 7.75μF

1/Ct = 1/3+1/7.73

1/Ct = 0.333+ 0.129

1/Ct = 0.462

Ct = 1/0.462

Ct = 2.35μF

V = 5.00Volts

To calculate the charge on each each capacitors, we use the formula Q = CtV where Cf is the total equivalent capacitance

Q = 2.35×10^-6× 5

Q = 11.75×10^-6Coulombs

Since same charge flows through a series connected capacitors, therefore Q1= Q2=

11.75×10^-6Coulombs

b) If the capacitors are connected in parallel, their equivalent capacitance will be C = C1+C2

C = 3.00 μF + 7.75 μF

C = 10.75 μF

For 3.00 μF capacitance, the charge on it will be Q1 = C1V

Q1 = 3×10^-6 × 5

Q1 =15×10^-6coulombs

For 7.75 μF capacitance, the charge on it will be Q2 = 7.75×10^-6×5

Q2 = 38.75×10^-6coulombs

Note that for a parallel connected capacitors, same voltage flows through them but different charge, hence the need to use the same value of the voltage for both capacitors.

A stone is dropped from a height of 7.70 m how fast is it going when it is 5.25 m above the ground

Answers

The velocity of the stone when it is 5.25 m above the ground is determined as 6.93 m/s.

Velocity of the stone

The velocity of the stone at the given displacement is calculated as follows;

K.E = ΔP.E

¹/₂mv² = mgh

v = √2gΔh

v = √[2(9.8)(7.7 - 5.25)]

v = 6.93 m/s

Thus, the velocity of the stone when it is 5.25 m above the ground is determined as 6.93 m/s.
