The force due to gravity between two point masses is given by:
F = GMm/r²; where G is the gravitational constant, M is the larger mass, m is the smaller mass, and r is the distance between the two.
F =  (6.673 × 10⁻¹¹ × 5.98 × 10²⁴ × 70) / (6.39 × 10⁶)²
F = 684.1 N

A clock moves past you at a speed of 0.9 c. How much time passes for you for each second that elapses on the moving clock?
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

Explanation:

Time dilation formula is

T = T₀ / √ 1-v²/c²

T₀ is time elapsed in moving reference , T time elapsed in stationary reference.

Here T₀ = 1 second

T = 1/√ 1-0.9² = 1/.4358 = 2.3 second

So 2.3 second will pass for each second on moving reference.

parallel-plate air capacitor is made from two plates 0.070 m square, spaced 6.3 mm apart. What must the potential difference bet
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

V = 576 V

Explanation:

Given:

- The area of the two plates A = 0.070 m^2

- The space between the two plates d = 6.3 mm

- Te energy density u = 0.037 J /m^3

Find:

- What must the potential difference between the plates V?

Solution:

- The energy density of the capacitor with capacitance C and potential difference V is given as:

                               u = 0.5*ε*E^2

- Where the Electric field strength E between capacitor plates is given by:

                               E = V / d

Hence,

                               u = 0.5*ε*(V/d)^2

Where, ε = 8.854 * 10^-12

                               V^2 = 2*u*d^2 / ε

                               V = d*sqrt ( 2*u / ε )

Plug in values:

                               V = 0.0063*sqrt ( 2 * 0.037 / (8.854 * 10^-12) )

                               V = 576 V
