<em>Anything</em> that's dropped through air is somewhat affected by air resistance. But, out of that list, the leaf and the balloon are the items that will be affected by air resistance enough so that you can plainly see it.
If you spend some time thinking about it, you can kind of understand why airplane wings and boat propellers are shaped more like leafs and balloons than like bricks and rocks.
We need to be careful here.
The calculation of the gravitational force between two objects
refers to the distance between their centers.
The minimum possible distance between the Earth's and moon's
centers is the sum of their radii (radiuses).
Earth's radius . . . . . 6,360 km = 6.36 x 10⁶ meters
Moon's radius . . . . . 1,738 km = 1.738 x 10⁶ meters
Sum of their radii = 8.098 x 10⁶ meters
Also:
Earth's mass . . . . . 5.972 x 10²⁴ kg
Moon's mass . . . . . 7.348 x 10²² kg
<span>
and now we're ready to go !
Gravitational force =
G M₁ M₂ / R²
= (6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N-m²/kg²)(</span><span>5.972 x 10²⁴ kg)(7.348 x 10²² kg)/</span>(8.098 x 10⁶ m)²
= (6.67 · 5.972 · 7.348 / 8.098²) · (10²³) Newtons
= (I get ...) 4.463 x 10²³ Newtons
That's almost exactly 10²³ pounds
= 50,153,000,000,000,000,000 tons.
Those are big numbers.
All I can say is: I wouldn't exactly call that "resting" on the surface".
Answer:
5.09 x 10⁵ Nm²/C
Explanation:
The electric flux φ through a planar area is defined as the electric field Ε times the component of the area Α perpendicular to the field. i.e
φ = E A
From the question;
E = (8.0j + 2.0k) ✕ 10³ N/C
r = radius of the circular area = 9.0m
A = area of a circle = π r² [Take π = 3.142]
A = 3.142 x 9² = 254.502m²
Now, since the area lies in the x-y plane, only the z-component of the electric field is responsible for the electric flux through the circular area.
Therefore;
φ = (2.0) x 10³ x 254.502
φ = 5.09 x 10⁵ Nm²/C
The electric flux is 5.09 x 10⁵ Nm²/C
we assume the acceleration is constant. we choose the initial and final points 1.40s apart, bracketing the slowing-down process. then we have a straightforward problem about a particle under constant acceleration. the initial velocity is v xi =632mi/h=632mi/h( 1mi 1609m )( 3600s 1h )=282m/s (a) taking v xf =v xi +a x t with v xf =0 a x = t v xf −v xf = 1.40s 0−282m/s =−202m/s 2 this has a magnitude of approximately 20g (b) similarly x f −x i = 2 1 (v xi +v xf )t= 2 1 (282m/s+0)(1.40s)=198m
Breaking is different from acceleration but he slows down at a speed of 7 kilometers per second.
