Both are constants used in the definition of Forces (gravitational and electric,respectively)

Since those constants are proportional to the magnitude of the forces:

Having a small gravitational constant explains why there is no apparent force of attraction with objects of considerable low mass (they would need to have great value of mass for the equation to give an apreciable force)

Electrical interactions are usually strong, and thus require an appropiate constant to depict the phenomenon. We deal in this case with charges really small, but the forces are in different order of magnitude.

a microwave uses a 14 a of electricity if 120 v is run through it what is the resistance of the microwave
Airida [17]
Resistance = voltage / current.

That's. 120v / 14A = 8.57 ohms.

By the way, voltage doesn't "run through" anything. Current does. That would be the 14 Amps.

A ride-sharing car moving along a straight section of road starts from rest, accelerating at 2.00 m/s2 until it reaches a speed
fgiga [73]

Answer:

Explanation:

Time taken to accelerate to 28 m /s

= 28 / 2 = 14 s

a ) Total length of time in motion

= 14 + 41 + 5

= 60 s .

b )

Distance covered while accelerating

s = ut + 1/2 at²

= 0 + .5 x 2 x 14²

= 196 m .

Distance covered while moving in uniform motion

= 28 x 41

= 1148 m

distance covered while decelerating

v = u - at

0 = 28 - a x 5

a = 5.6 m / s²

v² = u² - 2 a s

0 = 28² - 2 x 5.6 x s

s = 28² / 2 x 5.6

= 70 m .

Total distance covered

= 196 + 1148 + 70

= 1414 m

total time taken = 60 s

average velocity

= 1414 / 60

= 23.56 m /s .

If a star is 13.7 light years away from earth, how can we tell which elements it is made of?
ICE Princess25 [194]
Light year is a unit of measure of time that makes use of the speed of light and distance between objects to determine the number of years it will take for the light to travel. We can determine what element the object is made up of by the wavelength of the color.
