Calculate the total force on the Earth due to Venus, Jupiter, and Saturn, assuming all four planets are in a line. The masses ar

e Mv=0.815ME, MJ=318ME, Msat=95.1ME, Msun=1.99x10^30kg, ME=5.98x10^24kg and the mean distances of the four planets from the Sun are 108, 150, 778, and 1430 million km. Apparently the answer is 9.56x10^17 N but I'm not sure how to get to that .-.,

Answer: Total Force = 9.56*10^{17}

Explanation:

Line points are:  Sun - Venus - Earth - Jupiter - Saturn

Newton's law of universal gravitation states that every particle attracts every other particle in the universe with a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers. This means:

F=G\frac{m_{1} m_{2}}{r^{2} }

Where,

G is the gravitational constant,

m1 and m2 are the masses of the objects,

and r is the distance between the centers of their masses.

So, if G value is 6.674*10^{-11}  [\frac{m^{3}}{kg*s^{2}}], then we replace the equation with the corresponding values:

F=6.674*10^{-11} (-\frac{0.815ME^{2}}{(4.2*10^{10})^{2}} + \frac{318ME^{2}}{(6.28*10^{11})^{2}} + \frac{95.1ME^{2}}{(1.28*10^{12})^{2}})

To get the distances we subtract the distances between the sun and earth and the distances between the other planets and the sun.

You need to consider the following:
Me (mass of Earth) = 5.98 x 10^24 kg 
<span>Ms (mass of Sun) = 1.99 x 10^30 kg </span>
<span>G = 6.67 x 10^-11 N </span>
<span>
Formula:
 F = G * M1M2/r^2 
</span><span>The ratio FT/F = 4.02x10^-4 / 14.8
 = 2.72x10^-5 
</span><span>
Since,
1/2.72x10^-5 = 36800
The fraction ratio is  1/36800
</span>= <span>9.56x10^17 N</span>

An ant is on the pendulum bob of a clock. What would be its displacement in one time period?
Lyrx [107]

Answer: the displacement is 0

Explanation:

Displacement is defined as the difference between the final position and the initial position.

now, one time period is defined as the time that the pendulum needs to do a full cicle (so after one time period, the position of the pendulum returns to the same place) this means that the final position and the initial position is the same, then the displacement is 0.
