You place a 0.17 kg can of soup and a 0.31 kg jar of pickles on the kitchen counter, separated by a distance of 0.42 m. What is

tangare [24]

$1.984 \times 10^{-11} \mathrm{N} \text { is the force of gravity exerted on the jar of pickles. }$

<u>Explanation</u>:

According to Newton's third law that each force has an equal and opposite reaction force in this case both of the jars will exert the same force an each other

. The force is given by

$\mathrm{F}=\frac{G \times M_{1} \times M_{2}}{r^{2}}$

Where, F = force, $G=\text { gravitational constant }=\left(6.67 \times 10^{-11}\right)$ , $mass \left(\mathrm{M}_{1}\right)=0.17 \mathrm{kg}$ , $mass \left M_{2}= 0.31 \mathrm{kg}$ and Distance(r) = 0.42 m.

Substitute the values in the formula.

$\mathrm{F}=\frac{6.67 \times 10^{-11} \times 0.17 \times 0.31}{0.42^{2}}$

$\mathrm{F}=\frac{3.51 \times 10^{-12}}{0.176}$

$\mathrm{F}=1.984 \times 10^{-11} \mathrm{N}$

$\text { The force of gravity exerted on the jar of pickles is } 1.984 \times 10^{-11} \mathrm{N} \text { . }$

Why is it important for professionals in any field to be accurate and precise with their data collection??

kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:When prfessionals take data collections its important becasue it can cause error. Lets say they are sloppy with thier work and end up getting something that is not near what should be happening. This can have a major affect on the truth of what they are doing and an effect on thier end result in general.

Which has more thermal energy: lake or a cup of hot chocolate?

lawyer [7]

Though the hot cocoa would have a higher temperature, the lake would have more thermal energy because it has more molecules with a greater total internal energy.

AVprozaik [17]

<h2>Answer:</h2><h2>The acceleration of the meteoroid due to the gravitational force exerted by the planet = 12.12 m/ $s^{2}$ </h2>

Explanation:

A meteoroid is in a circular orbit 600 km above the surface of a distant planet.

Mass of the planet = mass of earth = 5.972 x $10^{24}$ Kg

Radius of the earth = 90% of earth radius = 90% 6370 = 5733 km

The acceleration of the meteoroid due to the gravitational force exerted by the planet = ?

By formula, g = $\frac{GM}{r^{2} }$

where g is the acceleration due to the gravity

G is the universal gravitational constant = 6.67 x $10^{-11}$ $m^{3} kg^{-1} s^{-2}$

M is the mass of the planet

r is the radius of the planet

Substituting the values, we get

g = $\frac{(6.67 * 10^{-11}) (5.972 * 10^{24}) }{5733^{2} }$

g = 12.12 m/ $s^{2}$

The acceleration of the meteoroid due to the gravitational force exerted by the planet = 12.12 m/ $s^{2}$
