a 3000 kg and a 7000 kg Mass attract each other with a force of 0.0015 N. What distance separates the two objects (Radius) (Plea

frutty [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

According to law of gravitation;

F = GMm/d²

G is the universal gravitation

M and m are the masses

d is the distance between the masses

d² = GMm/F

d² = 6.67408 × 10-11 *3000*7000/0.0015

d² = 140.15568*10^-5/0.0015

d² = 1.4016*10^-3/0.0015

d² = 1.4016*10^-3/1.5*10^-3

d² = 0.9344*10

d² = 9.344

d = √9.344

d = 3.057m

Hence the distance between the two objects is 3.057m

The light from the sun has higher frequencies from one side of the sun than from the other side. What does that tell you about t

morpeh [17]

If the light from the sun has higher frequencies from one side of the sun than from the other side, it is proof that the Sun is rotating.

Doppler effect states that, if a person is standing still and a source ( sound / light ) is moving towards him, the frequency of the wave emitted from the object will increase and if the source ( sound / light ) is away from him, the frequency of the wave emitted from the object will decrease.

So, if the light from the sun has higher frequencies from one side of the sun than from the other side, it means that the Sun is rotating. The higher frequencies points are the points that rotating towards Earth and lower frequencies points are the points that rotating away from Earth.

Therefore, if the light from the sun has higher frequencies from one side of the sun than from the other side, it is proof that the Sun is rotating.

A camera takes a properly exposed photo with a 4.0 mm diameter aperture and a shutter speed of 1/1000 s. If the photographer foc

hoa [83]

Answer:

option E

Explanation:

given,

diameter = 4 mm

shutter speed = 1/1000 s

diameter of aperture = ?

shutter speed = 1/250 s

exposure time to the shutter time

$E V = log_2(\dfrac{N^2}{t})$

N is the diameter of the aperture and t is the time of exposure

now,

$log_2(\dfrac{N^2}{t_1})=log_2(\dfrac{N^2}{t_2})$

$\dfrac{N_1^2}{t_1}=\dfrac{N_2^2}{t_2}$

inserting all the values

$\dfrac{4^2}{1000}=\dfrac{N_2^2}{250}$

N₂² = 4

N₂ = 2 mm

hence , the correct answer is option E

What is the kinetic energy of a 9.0 kg steelhead if its speed is 16 m/s?

Vesnalui [34]

<u>We are given:</u>

Mass of the Steelhead(m) = 9 kg

Velocity of the Steelhead(v) = 16 m/s

<u>Calculating the Kinetic Energy:</u>

KE = 1/2mv²

replacing the variables

KE = 1/2 * 9 * (16)²

KE = 1152 Joules
