The gravitational force the sun experiences from the earth is 3.48×10²²N, which is exactly the same as the force the sun experiences from the earth.

  • Gravity is a force that develops as a result of the attraction between mass-containing objects. The mass of the object has a direct relationship to the strength of this attraction. r equals the separation of two objects.

F = G (M₁M₂)/r²

Where, F  the gravitational force

G=6.67×10⁻¹¹Nm²kg⁻² gravitational constant

M₁=5.98×10²⁴kg  mass of earth

M₂= 1.99×10³⁰ kg the mass of the sun

r =15×10¹⁰ m is the distance between sun and earth

Putting all the values in above equation,

F = 6.67×10⁻¹¹Nm²kg⁻²(5.98×10²⁴kg 1.99×10³⁰ kg)/15×10¹⁰ m

On solving the above equation we get,

F = 3.48×10²²N

On Mars, the acceleration due to gravity is 3.77 m / s 2 . 3.77 m/s2. How far would a 15 g 15 g rock fall from rest in 2.5 s 2.5
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

s = 11.78 m

Explanation:

given,

acceleration due to gravity, g = 3.77 m/s²

mass of the rock = 15 g

time = 2.5 s

distance traveled = ?

using equation of motion

s = ut +\dfrac{1}{2}at^2

initial speed = 0 m/s

s = \dfrac{1}{2}at^2

s = \dfrac{1}{2}\times 3.77 \times 2.5^2

s = 11.78 m

distance traveled by the rock is equal to 11.78 m.

What is the average speed of a plane that flies 7,200 km in 9 hours?
Mnenie [13.5K]
First of all, the formula for speed is;
Speed=distance/time
From the question, you have;
distance=7,200km
Time=9 hours
So that will be;
Speed=7200/9
When divided, you will have;
Speed=800
The unit for speed is km/hr or m/s. So that will be;
Speed=800km/hr
Hope that helped, have a nice day

Your lab instructor has asked you to measure a spring constant using a dynamic method—letting it oscillate—rather than a sta
yuradex [85]

Answer:

  k = 6,547 N / m

Explanation:

This laboratory experiment is a simple harmonic motion experiment, where the angular velocity of the oscillation is

         w = √ (k / m)

angular velocity and rel period are  related

         w = 2π / T

substitution

         T = 2π √(m / K)

in Experimental measurements give us the following data

  m (g)     A (cm)    t (s)   T (s)

  100        6.5         7.8    0.78

  150        5.5          9.8   0.98

   200      6.0        10.9    1.09

   250       3.5        12.4    1.24

we look for the period that is the time it takes to give a series of oscillations, the results are in the last column

        T = t / 10

To find the spring constant we linearize the equation

        T² = (4π²/K)    m

therefore we see that if we make a graph of T² against the mass, we obtain a line, whose slope is

         m ’= 4π² / k

where m’ is the slope

           k = 4π² / m'

the equation of the line of the attached graph is

       T² = 0.00603 m + 0.0183

therefore the slope

       m ’= 0.00603  s²/g

    we calculate

         k = 4 π² / 0.00603

          k = 6547 g / s²

we reduce the mass to the SI system

         k = 6547 g / s² (1kg / 1000 g)

         k = 6,547 kg / s² =

         k = 6,547 N / m

let's reduce the uniqueness

         [N / m] = [(kg m / s²) m] = [kg / s²]

A jet travels 2250 km westward at a speed of 960 km/hr. it then encounters a strong headwind and its speed drops to 805 km/hr fo
Kipish [7]
For the first part of the trip:
we have velocity = 960 km/hr and distance = 2250 km
velocity = distance / time
time1 = distance / velocity = 2250 / 960 = 2.34375 hours

For the second part of the trip:
we have velocity = 805 km/hr and distance = 1320 km
velocity = distance / time
time2 = distance / velocity = 1320 / 805 = 1.63975 hours

For the total trip:
we have:
total distance covered = 2250 + 1320 = 3570 km
total time taken = 2.34375 + 1.63975 = 3.9835 hours
average velocity = total distance / total time
average velocity = 3570 / 3.9835 = 896.1968 km/hr
