Answer:F_{net}=3.383\times 10^{-7}\ N

Explanation:

Given

Mass of first object m_1=225\ kg

Mass of second object m_2=525\ kg

Distance between them d=3.8\ m

m_3=61\ kg object is placed between them

So force exerted by m_1 on m_3

F_{13}=\frac{Gm_1m_3}{1.9^2}

F_{13}=\frac{6.674\times 10^{-11}(225\times 61)}{1.9^2}

F_{13}=2.5374141274×10^{−7}\ N

Force exerted by m_2\ on\ m_3

F_{23}=\frac{Gm_2m_3}{1.9^2}

F_{23}=\frac{6.674\times 10^{-11}(525\times 61)}{1.9^2}

F_{23}=5.920632964\times 10^{-7}\ N

So net force on m_3 is

F_{net}=F_{23}-F_{13}

F_{net}=5.920632964\times 10^{-7}-2.5374141274\times 10^{-7}

F_{net}=3.383\times 10^{-7}\ N

i.e. net force is towards m_2

(b)For net force to be zero on m_3, suppose

So force exerted by m_1 and m_2 must be equal

F_{13}=F_{23}

\Rightarrow \frac{Gm_1m_3}{x^2}=\frac{Gm_2m_3}{(3.8-x)^2}

\Rightarrow \frac{m_1}{x^2}=\frac{m_2}{(3.8-x)^2}

\Rightarrow (\frac{3.8-x}{x})^2=\frac{m_2}{m_1}

\Rightarrow \frac{3.8-x}{x}=\sqrt{\frac{525}{225}}

\Rightarrow 3.8-x=1.52752x

\Rightarrow 3.8=2.52x

\Rightarrow x=1.507\ m

A father racing his son has 1/2 the kinetic energy of the son, who has 1/3 the mass of the father. The father speeds up by 1.4 m
BaLLatris [955]

Answer: a) 0.78 m/s b) 1.57 m/s

Explanation:

M = father's mass


m = son's mass = M/3


V = father's initial speed


v = son's initial speed

(1/2)MV^2 = (1/2)*(1/2)*m v^2


M*V^2 = (1/2)(M/3)v^2


V^2/v^2 = 1/4


V = v/2

Second equation:


(1/2)M*(V + 1.4)^2 = (1/2)m*v^2


= (1/2)*(M/3)*(3V)^2


cancel out the M's and (1/2)'s


(V + 1.4)^2 = 3V^2


V^2 + 2.8V + 1.96 = 3V^2


V^2 -1.4V -0.98 = 0

V^2 = 0.98/0.4 = 2.45

V = 1.57

Because the pressure falls, water boils at a lower temperature with increasing altitude. Consequently, cake mixes and boiled egg
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

1) The boiling point of water reduces by 3.28°C at 1,000 m above sea-level

2) The boiling point of water reduces by 6.56°C at 2,000 m above sea-level

Explanation:

The variation of the boiling point of water with elevation is given as follows

The boiling point reduces by 0.5°C for every 152.4 meter increase in elevation

At sea-level, the boiling point temperature of water = 100°C

1) At 1,000 m elevation, the boiling point temperature, T = 100 - (1,000/152.4) × 0.5 ≈ 96.72 °C

Therefore, the boiling point of water reduces by 100° - 96.72° = 3.28°C at 1,000 m above sea-level

2) At 2,000 m elevation, the boiling point temperature, T = 100 - (2,000/152.4) × 0.5 ≈ 93.44°C

The boiling point of water reduces by 100° - 93.44° = 6.56°C at 2,000 m above sea-level

Science not has only achievements but also challenges justify with an example
statuscvo [17]
For example science has discovered many amazing things like atoms,molecules which led to the development of nuclear reactors etc. Challenges would be like trying to prove theories like evolution for 100 of years trying to discover all the stuff we still don’t know exists all the mysteries of life. A lot of science is still theory we can’t prove some things until we have more advanced technology etc.
