Again I think you did not give the right constants. So I would use the correct constants for mass of moon and distance from earth to moon.

<span>The formula for force of attraction between any two bodies in the universe
F  =  GMm / r^2.      (Newton's Universal law of Gravitation).

G = Universal gravitational constant, G = 6.67 * 10 ^ -11  Nm^2 / kg^2.
M = Mass of Earth. = 5.97 x 10^24 kg.
m = mass of moon = 7.34 x 10^22  kg.
r = distance apart, between centers = in this case it is the distance from Earth to the Moon
   = 3.8 x 10^8 m.

(Sorry I could not assume with the values you gave, they are wrong, and if we use them we would be insulting Physics).


So F = ((6.67 * 10 ^ -11)*(5.97 x 10^24)*(7.34 * 10^22)) / (3.8 x 10^8)^2.
  Punch it all up in your calculator.
 
I used a Casio 991 calculator, it should be one of the best in the world.Really lovely calculator, that has helped me a lot in computations like this. I am thankful for the Calculator.

F = 2.0240 * 10^ 20 N.
So that's our answer.
Hurray!!</span>

Using the gravity equation: force of gravity = (G*mass of object 1*mass of object 2)/distance between the objects^2, we can plug in the masses of the objects (5.97x10^24kg for earth, and 7.34x10^22kg for the moon) and the distance between the objects (3.8x10^8metres) and (6.67x10^-11 gravitational constant) for G, we get (6.67x10^-11*5.97x10^24*7.34^22)/(3.8x10^8)^2 which equals =2.02x10^20 which is the force of gravity

A plane is flying east when it drops some supplies to a designated target below. The supplies land after falling for 10 seconds.
Ivanshal [37]

Part 1)

here we know that supply took 10 s to reach the ground

so here we will have

y = \frac{1}{2}gt^2

y = \frac{1}{2}\times 9.8 \times 10^2

y = \frac{1}{2}\times 9.8 \times 100

y = 490 m

Part 2)

Here all the supply covered horizontal distance of 650 m in 10 s interval of time

so here we can say

speed = \frac{distance}{time}

v = \frac{650}{10}

v = 65 m/s

A 26-g steel-jacketed bullet is fired with a velocity of 630 m/s toward a steel plate and ricochets along path CD with a velocit
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

  F = - 3.53 10⁵ N

Explanation:

This problem must be solved using the relationship between momentum and the amount of movement.

          I = F t = Δp

To find the time we use that the average speed in the contact is constant (v = 600m / s), let's use the uniform movement ratio

        v = d / t

        t = d / v

Reduce SI system

          m = 26 g ( 1 kg/1000g) = 26 10⁻³ kg

          d = 50 mm ( 1m/ 1000 mm) = 50 10⁻³ m

Let's calculate

         t = 50 10⁻³ / 600

         t = 8.33 10⁻⁵ s

With this value we use the momentum and momentum relationship

        F t = m v - m v₀

As the bullet bounces the speed sign after the crash is negative

       F = m (v-vo) / t

       F = 26 10⁻³ (-500 - 630) / 8.33 10⁻⁵

       F = - 3.53 10⁵ N

The negative sign indicates that the force is exerted against the bullet

A fluid flows through a pipe whose cross-sectional area changes from 2.00 m2 to 0.50 m2 . If the fluid’s speed in the wide part
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

v₂ = 7/ (0.5)= 14 m/s

Explanation:

Flow rate of the fluid

Flow rate is the amount of fluid that circulates through a section of the pipeline (pipe, pipeline, river, canal, ...) per unit of time.

The formula for calculated the flow rate is:

Q= v*A Formula (1)

Where :

Q is the Flow rate (m³/s)

A is the cross sectional area of a section of the pipe (m²)

v is the speed of the fluid in that section (m/s)

Equation of continuity

The volume flow rate Q for an incompressible fluid at any point along a pipe is the same as the volume flow rate at any other point along a pipe:

Q₁= Q₂

Data

A₁ = 2m² : cross sectional area 1

v₁ = 3.5 m/s : fluid speed through A₁

A₂ = 0.5 m² : cross sectional area 2

Calculation of the fluid speed through A₂

We aply the equation of continuity:

Q₁= Q₂

We aply the equation of Formula (1):

v₁*A₁= v₂*A₂

We replace data

(3.5)*(2)= v₂*(0.5)

7 = v₂*(0.5)

v₂ = 7/ (0.5)

v₂ =  14 m/s
