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

How do the tension of the cord and the force of gravity affect a pendulum?
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

<em>Force of gravity may not affect a pendulum during its equilibrium state</em>. But  the gravity can affect the pendulum when a force occurs in any direction of the bob connected to the cord that makes a swing sideways. The gravity of pendulum never stops, it always accelerates. So the gravity affects the pendulum acceleration and speed.    

<em>Similarly the tension in the cord will not affect the pendulum</em><em> </em>but if change in the length of the pendulum while keeping other factors constant changes the length of the period of pendulum. longer pendulum swings with lower frequency than shorter pendulums.

Sam is observing the velocity of a car at different times. After three hours, the velocity of the car is 53 km/h. After six hour
Serhud [2]
For the answer to the question above, first find out the gradient. 

<span>m = rise/run </span>
<span>=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1) </span>

<span>the x's and y's are the points given: "After three hours, the velocity of the car is 53 km/h. After six hours, the velocity of the car is 62 km/h" </span>
<span>(x1,y1) = (3,53) </span>
<span>(x2,y2) = (6,62) </span>

<span>sub values back into the equation </span>
<span>m = (62-53)/(6-3) </span>
<span>m = 9/3 </span>
<span>m = 3 </span>

<span>now we use a point-slope form to find the the standard form </span>
<span>y-y1 = m(x-x1) </span>
<span>where x1 and y1 are any set of point given </span>
<span>y-53 = 3(x-3) </span>
<span>y-53 = 3x - 9 </span>
<span>y = 3x - 9 + 53 </span>
<span>y = 3x + 44 </span>

<span>y is the velocity of the car, x is the time.
</span>I hope this helps.

suppose that 273 g of one of the substances listed above displaces 26 mL of water. What is the substance?
guajiro [1.7K]
<span>The unknown substance is silver. I don't see a list of available substances, but let's see if there's something reasonable available that will match. First, let's calculate the density of the unknown substance. Density is mass per volume, so 273 g / 26 mL = 10.5 g/mL Looking up a list of elements sorted by density, I see the following: 10.07 Actinium 10.22 Molybdenum 10.5 Silver 11.35 Lead And silver at 10.5 g/ml is a very nice match for the unknown substances' density of 10.5 g/ml.</span>
