Answer:

$3.54* 10^{22}$ N

Explanation:

Using the formula you gave:

$F_g = \frac{6.67*10^{-11}*2.0*10^{30}*5.97^{24} }{(1.5*10^{11})^2 }$

A truck is carrying a steel beam of length 13.0 m on a freeway. An accident causes the beam to be dumped off the truck and slide

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

$emf= 9.88 \times 10^{-3} T$

Explanation:

Given:

Length of the beam, $l=13\,m$

speed of the beam, $v=20\,m.s^{-1}$

magnitude of the vertical magnetic field, $B=38\times 10^{-6} T$

According to the Faraday's law the emf induced in a rod passing transversely through a magnetic field is given as:

$emf= l.v.B$

$emf=13\times 20\times 38\times 10^{-6}$

$emf= 9.88 \times 10^{-3} T$

A piece of wood that floats on water has a mass of 0.0175 kg. A lead weight is tied to the wood, and the apparent mass with the

crimeas [40]

Answer:

Specific gravity is 0.56

Explanation:

We know that

mass of water displaced by the wood is, m1( apparent mass when wood in air and lead is submerged in water) - m2(the apparent mass when wood and lead both are submerged in water)

= 0.0765 - 0.0452 = 0.0313 Kg

So the specific gravity of the wood is, = mass of wood / mass of water displaced by the wood

= 0.0175/0.0313

=0.56

The speed of light inside a medium is (2.0 x 10^8m/s) What is the index of refraction (n) of the medium?

kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

Refractive index of a medium = Speed of light in vacuum/Speed of light in a medium

1.5 = 3 x 108 / Speed of light in medium

Speed of light in the medium = 3 x 108 /1.5

= 2 x 108 m/s.
