M₁ = mass of planet #1
M₂ = mass of planet #2
M = total mass
R₁ = radius of planet #1
R₂ = radius of planet #2
d₁ = initial distance between planet centers
d₂ = final distance between planet centers
a = semimajor axis of plunge orbit
v₁ = relative speed of approach at distance d₁
v₂ = relative speed of approach at distance d₂

M₁ = M₂ = 1.8986e27 kilograms
M = M₁ + M₂ = 3.7972e27 kg
G = 6.6742e-11 m³ kg⁻¹ sec⁻²
GM = 2.5343e17 m³ sec⁻²
d₁ = 1.4e11 meters
a = d₁/2 = 7e10 meters
R₁ = R₂ = 7.1492e7 meters
d₂ = R₁ + R₂ = 1.42984e8 meters
v₁ = 0
v₂ = √[GM(2/d₂−1/a)]

v₂ = 59508.4 m/s 

The time to fall is 1337.7 days

An airplane flying at 115 m/s due east makes a gradual turn following a circular path to fly south. The turn takes 15 seconds to

bulgar [2K]

To solve this exercise it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Centripetal and Perimeter acceleration of a circle.

The perimeter of a circle is defined by

$P = 2\pi r$

Where,

r= radius

While centripetal acceleration is defined by

$a=\frac{v^2}{r}$

Where,

v= velocity

r= radius

PART A)

The distance of a body can be defined based on the speed and the time traveled, that is

x = v*t

For our values the distance is equal to

x = 15*115=1725m

The plane when going to make the turn from east to south makes a quarter of the circumference that is

$\frac{P}{4} = \frac{2\pi r}{4}$

The same route you take is the distance traveled, that is

$x = \frac{P}{4}$

$x = \frac{2\pi r}{4}$

$1725 = \frac{2\pi r}{4}$

$r = 1098.17m$

PART B)

With the radius is possible calculate he centripetal acceleration,

$a = \frac{v^2}{r}$

$a = \frac{115^2}{1098.17}$

$a = 12.04m/s^2$

Therefore the radius of the curva that the plane follows in making the turn is 1098.17m with a centripetal acceleration of $12.04m/s^2$

In a 30.0-s interval, 500 hailstones strike a glass window with an area of 0.600m2 at an angle of 45.0°to the window surface. Ea

aliina [53]

or one hailstone we have;
Force = Mass X acceleration = 0.005kg x 9.8.} This is when the hailstone is not inclined at an angle.
When the hailstone is inclined at an angle of 45, then the component of force along the glass window will be F =0.005kg x 9.8 x sin45= 0.005kg x 9.8 x 0.707= 0.0346N.
Therefore, total force for the 500 hailstones would be 500x0.0346N=17.32N
This force is acting on an area equal to 0.600m2
Pressure = Force per unit area = 17.32N/0.600m2 = 28.9Pa

Mama L [17]

The answer is current.

Current in the context of an electrical circuit is the flow of charge. Current is a quantity that is physical and can be measured. Current is defined as the rate of the flow charge past a certain point in a circuit. Current is expressed in Amperes which is equal to 1 coulomb/1second.
