Answer:no because distance is weaker than gravity

Explanation:the strenght of the gravita force between the two objects depend on two facto mass and distance the force of gravity the masses exert on each other increases the force of gravity decreases if the distance is doubled the force of gravity is one fourth as strong as before

Yes it does if the force between 2 bodies is F at the distance r, if we move one of them at the distance 2r, than the force becomes f/4

¿Cuál es la masa de un objeto cuya masa es de 400 J y energía cinética de 107J?

Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

Mass, m = 125 kg

Explanation:

Let us assume that the question says, "What is the mass of an object whose velocity is 400 m/s and the kinetic energy of 10⁷ J.

The kinetic energy of an object is :

$K=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\m=\dfrac{2K}{v^2}\\\\m=\dfrac{2\times 10^7}{(400)^2}\\\\m=125\ kg$

So, the mass of the object is 125 kg.

Winds are deflected to the (right/left) ___ as they move into a low pressure area in the Northern Hemisphere.

SashulF [63]

Winds are deflected to the right as they move into a low pressure area in the Northern Hemisphere.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Winds decide the motion of ocean currents which forms the surface waves in the Earth's atmosphere to maintain the pressure region. The motion of ocean currents is based on Coriolis force which states the direction of motion of an object in a rotating system.

In the case of Earth, the Coriolis force has an effect on the ocean currents which are deflected from maximum to minimum pressure region in a curved path. So the winds formed by the ocean currents will generally get deflected at the right as they move into a low pressure area at the Northern Hemisphere from the high pressure region.

The platform height for Olympic divers is 10 m. A 60 kg diver steps off the platform to begin his dive.

azamat

Answer:

a) Ep = 5886[J]; b) v = 14[m/s]; c) W = 5886[J]; d) F = 1763.4[N]

Explanation:

The potential energy can be found using the following expression, we will take the ground level as the reference point where the potential energy is equal to zero.

$E_{p} =m*g*h\\where:\\m = mass = 60[kg]\\g = gravity = 9.81[m/s^2]\\h = elevation = 10 [m]\\E_{p}=60*9.81*10\\E_{p}=5886[J]$

Since energy is conserved, that is, potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy, the moment the harpsichord touches water, all potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy.

$E_{p} = E_{k} \\5886 =0.5*m*v^{2} \\v = \sqrt{\frac{5886}{0.5*60} }\\v = 14[m/s]$

The work is equal to

W = 5886 [J]

We need to use the following equation and find the deceleration of the diver at the moment when he stops his velocity is zero.

$v_{f} ^{2}= v_{o} ^{2}-2*a*d\\where:\\d = 2.5[m]\\v_{f}=0\\v_{o} =14[m/s]\\Therefore\\a = \frac{14^{2} }{2*2.5} \\a = 39.2[m/s^2]$

By performing a sum of forces equal to the product of mass by acceleration (newton's second law), we can find the force that acts to reduce the speed of the diver to zero.

m*g - F = m*a

F = m*a - m*g

F = (60*39.2) - (60*9.81)

F = 1763.4 [N]

Describe what happens to radiant energy once it enters the atmosphere? How does Radiant energy cause weather?

Triss [41]

Once energy from the Sun gets to Earth, several things can happen to it:

Energy can be scattered or absorbed by aerosols in the atmosphere. Aerosols are dust, soot, sulfates and nitric oxides. When aerosols absorb energy, the atmosphere becomes warmer. When aerosols scatter energy, the atmosphere is cooled.
Short wavelengths are absorbed by ozone in the stratosphere.
Clouds may act to either reflect energy out to space or absorb energy, trapping it in the atmosphere.
The land and water at Earth's surface may act to either reflect energy or absorb it. Light colored surfaces are more likely to reflect sunlight, while dark surfaces typically absorb the energy, warming the planet.
Albedo is the percentage of the Sun's energy that is reflected back by a surface. Light colored surfaces like ice have a high albedo, while dark colored surfaces tend to have a lower albedo. The buildings and pavement in cities have such a low albedo that cities have been called "heat islands" because they absorb so much energy that they warm up.

A horse shoe magnet is placed on a mass balance such that a uniform magnetic field of magnitude B runs between it from North to

BARSIC [14]

Answer:

(a) Measured change in mass (Δm) = BVL/Rg

(b) Total measured mass M' = M - BVL/Rg

Explanation:

Current (I) across is coil is given by the formula;

I = V/R ------------------------1

The magnetic force is given by the formula;

Fb = B*I*L -------------------2

Putting equation 1 into equation 2, we have;

Fb = B*V*L/R -------------------3

Change in mass (Δm) is given as:

Δm = Fb/g -----------------------4

Putting equation 3 into equation 4, we have;

Δm = BVL/Rg

Therefore, change in mass (Δm) = BVL/Rg

2. Since B runs from North to South and current running from East to West, then the magnetic force is directed upward.

Therefore,

Total measure mass M' = M - BVL/Rg
