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

A materials density is the same , no matter how large or small the sample is or what it’s shape is as long as it is solid unifor
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

See the explanation below

Explanation:

Density is defined as the relationship between mass and volume, i.e. the following equation can be used:

density = m/v

where:

density [kg/m^3]

m = mass [kg]

v = volume [m^3]

If we change the volume of a body by reducing its size, its mass will also decrease proportionally with a density as seen in the equation.

m = density*v

To understand this concept more clearly, let's use the following example:

We know that the density of water is equal to 1000 [kg/m^3], that is, 1 cubic meter of water contains 1000 kilograms of water, using the equation.

1000 = m /1

m = 1000*1 = 1000 [kg]

Now if we have 500 kilograms of water, that would pass with the volume so that the density remains constant.

1000 = 500/v

v = 500/1000

v = 0.5 [m^3]

We can see that the volume of water has halved. Since the mass of water was reduced by half. That is, the relationship between mass and volume is proportional to the density of the material or substance.

What is the speed of terminal velocity?
ivann1987 [24]
The so-called "terminal velocity" is the fastest that something can fall
through a fluid.  Even though there's a constant force pulling it through,
the friction or resistance of plowing through the surrounding substance
gets bigger as the speed grows, so there's some speed where the resistance
is equal to the pulling force, and then the falling object can't go any faster.

A few examples:
-- the terminal velocity of a sky-diver falling through air,
-- the terminal velocity of a pecan falling through honey,
-- the terminal velocity of a stone falling through water.

It's not possible to say that "the terminal velocity is ----- miles per hour".
If any of these things changes, then the terminal velocity changes too:

-- weight of the falling object
-- shape of the object
-- surface texture (smoothness) of the object
-- density of the surrounding fluid
-- viscosity of the surrounding fluid .

How much time is needed to produce 720 Joules of work if 90 watts of power is used?
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

8 seconds

Explanation:

power (P) is defined as the rate at which work is done.

power is measured in Watts (W) , when the work done is measured in Joules (J) and time in seconds

by the definition of power,

Power=\frac{work.done}{time.taken} \\ \\ time.taken=\frac{work.done}{power}\\=\frac{720J }{90W} \\ \\ =8 s

An 8.75 kg point mass and a 14.0 kg point mass are held in place 50.0 cm apart. A particle of mass m is released from a point be
marysya [2.9K]

Answer

given,

mass of the = m₁ = 8.75 Kg

another mass of the object = m₂ = 14 Kg

distance between them = 50 cm

R₁ = 17 cm

R₂ = 50 -17 = 33 cm

a) Force applied due to the Mass 8.75  in +ve x- direction

F_1 = \dfrac{GM_1 m}{R_1^2}

F_1 = \dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-11} \times 8.75\ m}{0.17^2}

F_1 = 2.019\times 10^{8}\ m

Force applied due to mass 14 Kg in -ve x-direction

F_2 = \dfrac{GM_2 m}{R_2^2}

F_2 = \dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-11} \times 14\ m}{0.33^2}

F_2 = 0.857\times 10^{8}\ m

net force

F = F₁ + F₂

F = 2.019\times 10^{8}\ m - 0.857\times 10^{8}\ m

F = 1.162\times 10^{8}\ m

Using newton second law

a = \dfrac{F}{m}

a = \dfrac{ 1.162\times 10^{8}\ m}{m}

a =1.162\times 10^{8} \ m/s^2

b) As the acceleration of mass comes out to be  +ve hence, the direction will be toward the mass of 8.75 Kg
