The gravitational force of a star on an orbiting planet 1 is F1. Planet 2, which is twice as massive as planet 1 and orbits at t

hree times larger distance from the star, experiences gravitational force F2.
What is the ratio F2F1? You can ignore the gravitational force between the two planets.

Answer:

ratio = 1 : 4.5

Explanation:

If m₁ is the mass of the star and m₂ the mass of the planet, the force of gravity F₁ for planet 1 is given by:

$F_1=\frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}$

The force F₂:

$F_2=\frac{Gm_1(2m_2)}{(3r)^2}$

The ratio:

$\frac{F_2}{F_1}=\frac{2}{9}$

A stone is catapulted at time t = 0, with an initial velocity of magnitude 19.9 m/s and at an angle of 39.9° above the horizonta

larisa [96]

Answer:

Part a)

$x = 15.76 m$

Part b)

$y = 7.94 m$

Part c)

$x = 26.16 m$

Part d)

$y = 7.49 m$

Part e)

$x = 83.23 m$

Part f)

$y = -75.6 m$

Explanation:

As we know that catapult is projected with speed 19.9 m/s

so here we have

$v_x = 19.9 cos39.9$

$v_x = 15.3 m/s$

similarly we have

$v_y = 19.9 sin39.9$

$v_y = 12.76 m/s$

Part a)

Horizontal displacement in 1.03 s

$x = v_x t$

$x = (15.3)(1.03)$

$x = 15.76 m$

Part b)

Vertical direction we have

$y = v_y t - \frac{1]{2}gt^2$

$y = (12.76)(1.03) - 4.9(1.03)^2$

$y = 7.94 m$

Part c)

Horizontal displacement in 1.71 s

$x = v_x t$

$x = (15.3)(1.71)$

$x = 26.16 m$

Part d)

Vertical direction we have

$y = v_y t - \frac{1]{2}gt^2$

$y = (12.76)(1.71) - 4.9(1.71)^2$

$y = 7.49 m$

Part e)

Horizontal displacement in 5.44 s

$x = v_x t$

$x = (15.3)(5.44)$

$x = 83.23 m$

Part f)

Vertical direction we have

$y = v_y t - \frac{1]{2}gt^2$

$y = (12.76)(5.44) - 4.9(5.44)^2$

$y = -75.6 m$

numerical question : what is the required heat to raise the temperature of 2 kg parrafin by 10 Celsius if 44000 joules is requir

kirill115 [55]

Answer:

The heat energy required is, E = 2200 J

Explanation:

Given,

The mass of paraffin, m = 2 Kg

The energy required to raise the temperature of the paraffin by 200° C = 44000 J

Then the heat energy required to raise the temperature of the paraffin by 10° C is given by,

Since 44000 J raises temperature by 200° C, then

E = 44000 J / 20

= 2200 J

Hence, the energy required to raise the temperature of the paraffin by 10° C is, E = 2200 J

What will be the ME of a machine that produces a 240 N work with a 300

Elden [556K]

Answer:

Efficiency = 80%

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Work output = 240 N

Work Input = 300 N

To find the mechanical efficiency of a machine;

$Efficiency = \frac {Out-put \; work}{In-put \; work} * 100$

Substituting into the equation, we have;

$Efficiency = \frac {240}{300} * 100$

$Efficiency = 0.8 * 100$

Efficiency = 80%

Therefore, the mechanical efficiency of the machine is 80 percent.
