<h2>Answer:</h2><h2>The acceleration of the meteoroid due to the gravitational force exerted by the planet = 12.12 m/s^{2}</h2>

Explanation:

A meteoroid is in a circular orbit 600 km above the surface of a distant planet.

Mass of the planet = mass of earth = 5.972 x 10^{24} Kg

Radius of the earth = 90% of earth radius = 90% 6370 = 5733 km

The acceleration of the meteoroid due to the gravitational force exerted by the planet = ?

By formula, g = \frac{GM}{r^{2} }

where g is the acceleration due to the gravity

G is the universal gravitational constant = 6.67 x 10^{-11} m^{3} kg^{-1} s^{-2}

M is the mass of the planet

r is the radius of the planet

Substituting the values, we get

g =  \frac{(6.67 * 10^{-11}) (5.972 * 10^{24})  }{5733^{2} }

g = 12.12 m/s^{2}

The acceleration of the meteoroid due to the gravitational force exerted by the planet = 12.12 m/s^{2}

A 70.0 kg sprinter starts a race with an acceleration of 1.60 m/s^2, What is the net external force (in N) on him? (Enter the ma
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

External force on him will be 112 N

Explanation:

We have given the mass of the sprinter m =70 kg

Acceleration of the sprinter a=1.6m/sec^2

We have to find the net external force

According to second law of motion force = mass ×acceleration

Force is dependent on the mass and acceleration

So F=70\times 1.6=112 N

So external force will be 112 N

Which statements describe magnetic poles? Check all that apply.
Alex_Xolod [135]

Explanation:

Magnet: It has two poles: South pole and North pole.

Magnetic field lines are stronger near the poles of the magnet.

Same poles repel each other. There is a magnetic force of repulsion between the same poles. North- North poles repel each other.

Unlike poles attract each other. There is magnetic force of attraction between the opposite poles. South- North poles attract each other.

Mono poles cannot exist.

From the given statements, the magnetic poles are described by:

A north pole must exist with a south pole.

Two south poles placed near each other will repel each other.

A north pole and a south pole placed near each other will attract each other.

The mass of calcium phosphate the reaction can produce is <u>6.076</u> grams.

<h3>What is mass?</h3>

Mass is a numerical measure of inertia, which is a basic feature of all matter. It is, in effect, a body of matter's resistance to a change in speed or position caused by the application of a force.

In the International System of Units (SI), the kilogram is the unit of mass.

Given;

Mass of calcium nitrate (Ca(NO₃)₂) = 96.1 g

Mass of calcium phosphate=?

The chemical equation is found as;

3Ca(NO₃)₂ + 2Na₃PO₄ → 6NaNO₃ + Ca₃(PO4)₂

3 moles of Ca(NO₃)₂ produces 1 mole of Ca₃(PO4)molar mass of calcium phosphate is 164 g/mol

Moles are found as the ratio of the mass of the compound and its molar mass. Moles of Ca(NO₃)₂ is n.

n = 96.1/164 = 0.5859 moles

Moles of Ca3(PO4)2 produced ;

N=0.0589 ×(1/3) = 0.0196 moles

The molar mass of calcium phosphate is 310 g/mol and the mass of calcium phosphate produced will be;

M=0.0196×310

M = 6.076 g

Hence,the mass of calcium phosphate the reaction can produce is <u>6.076</u> grams.

To learn more about the mass, refer to the link;
