Astrology, that unlikely and vague pseudoscience, makes much of the position of the planets at the moment of oneâs birth. The on

ly known force that a planet could exerts on us is gravitational, so if there is anything to astrology we should expect this force to be significant.
Required:
a. Calculate the gravitational force, in Newtons, exerted on a 4.1 kg baby by a 120 kg father who is a distance of 0.18 m away at the time of its birth.
b. Calculate the force on the baby, in Newtons, due to Jupiter (the largest planet, which has a mass of 1.90Ã10^27 kg if it is at its closest distance to Earth, 6.29Ã10^11 m away.
c. What is the ratio of the force of the father on the baby to the force of Jupiter on the baby?

Answer:

Explanation:

Gravitational force between two objects having mass m₁ and m₂ at a distance R

F = G m₁ m₂ / R²

Force between baby and father F₁ = 6.67x10⁻¹¹ x 4.1 x 120 / .18²

= 1.01 x 10⁻⁶ N

b )

Force between baby and Jupiter

F₂ = 6.67x10⁻¹¹ x 1.9x 10²⁷ x 4.1 / ( 6.29 x 10¹¹ )²

= 1.31 x 10⁻⁶  N

c )

Ratio = 1.01 / 1.31

= .77

Energy Conservation With Conservative Forces: If a spring-operated gun can shoot a pellet to a maximum height of 100 m on Earth,
crimeas [40]

Answer:

h' = 603.08 m

Explanation:

First, we will calculate the initial velocity of the pellet on the surface of Earth by using third equation of motion:

2gh = Vf² - Vi²

where,

g = acceleration due to gravity on the surface of earth = - 9.8 m/s² (negative sign due to upward motion)

h = height of pellet = 100 m

Vf = final velocity of pellet = 0 m/s (since, pellet will momentarily stop at highest point)

Vi = Initial Velocity of Pellet = ?

Therefore,

(2)(-9.8 m/s²)(100 m) = (0 m/s)² - Vi²

Vi = √(1960 m²/s²)

Vi = 44.27 m/s

Now, we use this equation at the surface of moon with same initial velocity:

2g'h' = Vf² - Vi²

where,

g' = acceleration due to gravity on the surface of moon = 1.625 m/s²

h' = maximum height gained by pellet on moon = ?

Therefore,

2(1.625 m/s²)h' = (44.27 m/s)² - (0 m/s)²

h' = (1960 m²/s²)/(3.25 m/s²)

<u>h' = 603.08 m</u>

A ball strikes a wall. It exerts a force of 10 N to the left against the wall and bounces off. What force does the wall exert on
Galina-37 [17]
The wall exerts a force of equal magnitude but in the opposite direction. So the force by the wall is 10 N to the right.

A 35 N force makes a 10 degree angle with the positive x-axis. What is the magnitude of the vertical component of the force?
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

6.07 N

Explanation:

Given that,

Force, F = 35 N

It makes 10 degree angle with the positive x-axis.

We need to find the magnitude of the vertical component of the force. It can be given by :

F_y=F\sin\theta\\\\=35\times \sin(10)\\\\=6.07\ N

So, the magnitude of the vertical component of the force is 6.07 N.

Why should it take significantly more energy to move a beam of alpha particles than a beam of beta minus (β–) particles?
a_sh-v [17]
An 'alpha particle' is the same thing as the nucleus of a helium atom ... 
a little bundle made of 2 protons and 2 neutrons.

A 'beta' particle is an electron.

The mass of an alpha particle is more than 7,000 times the mass of 
an electron, so it certainly takes more energy to get it moving.

Why doesn’t the moon fall toward the earth and smash into it?
yarga [219]

Gravity

The moon doesn't smash into the earth because the gravity from the earth keeps the moon in orbit around it.
