The force of attraction between two objects can be illustrated using Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation.
The relation between the different parameters is shown in the attached image.

Now, from the relation, we can deduce that the force between the two objects is directly proportional to the masses of the two objects.

This means that, if the mass of one object is doubled, then the force between the two objects will also be doubled.

At what speed do a bicycle and its rider, with a combined mass of 100 kg, have the same momentum as a 1400 kg car traveling at 6

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Momentum of car

Given: Mass m= 1,400 Kg; V = 6.0 m/s

Formula: P = mv

P = (1,400 Kg)(6.0 m/s)

P = 8,400 Kg.m/s

Velocity of the rider to have the same momentum as a car.

Mass of rider and bicycle m = 100 Kg

P = mv

V = P/m

V = 8,400 Kg.m/s/100 Kg

V = 84 m/s

What is the frequency of light with a wavelength of 7.9 x 10^-9 m? ( the speed of light is 3.00 x 10^8)

nlexa [21]

Using the formula v=f times lambada
then v=the speed of light.
and f=what’s we’re looking for
and lambada=the wavelength.

so then you sub what you have (v and lambada) in the formula.
then multiply the frequency(f) by the given wavelength and then solve for f

The fastest pitched baseball was clocked at 46 m/s. assume that the pitcher exerted his force (assumed to be horizontal and cons

Zielflug [23.3K]

Using the Equation:
v² = vi² + 2 · a · s → Eq.1
where,
v = final velocity
vi = initial velocity
a = acceleration
s = distance

We know that vi = 0 because the ball was at rest initially.

Therefore,

Solving Eq.1 for acceleration,

 v² = vi² + 2 · a · s
v² = 0 + 2 · a · s
v² = 2 · a · s
Rearranging for a,
a = v ²/2·s
Substituting the values,
a = 46²/2×1
a = 1058 m/s²

Now applying Newton's 2nd law of motion,

F = ma
= 0.145×1058

F = 153.4 N

Given that water at standard pressure freezes at 0∘C, which corresponds to 32∘F, and that it boils at 100∘C, which corresponds t

Answer:

In two significant figure 360K

Explanation:

The temperature difference (ΔT) can be calculated as the boiling temperature minus the freezing temperature in Fahrenheit.

Hence,

ΔT = 212 - 32

ΔT = 180°F

To convert to °F to kelvin, we use the formula below

= (°F - 32) × 5/9 + 273.15

= (180°F - 32) × 5/9 + 273.15

= 355.37K ⇔ 360K
