Answer: some of the energy are shielded away by the ozone layer,

The rest warm the earth

Explanation:

Not all energy from the sun reaches the earth, some of the energy are shielded away by the ozone layer while the rest energy warm the earth

Exoplanets (planets outside our solar system) are an active area of modern research. Suppose astronomers find such a planet that

Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

8.829 m/s²

Explanation:

M = Mass of Earth

m = Mass of Exoplanet

$g_e$ = Acceleration due to gravity on Earth = 9.81 m/s²

g = Acceleration due to gravity on Exoplanet

$m=M-0.1M\\\Rightarrow m=0.9M$

$g_e=G\frac{M}{r^2}$

$g=G\frac{0.9M}{r^2}$

Dividing the equations we get

$\frac{g}{g_e}=\frac{G\frac{0.9M}{r^2}}{G\frac{M}{r^2}}\\\Rightarrow \frac{g}{g_e}=0.9\\\Rightarrow g=0.9g_e\\\Rightarrow g=0.9\times 9.81\\\Rightarrow g=8.829\ m/s^2$

Acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the Exoplanet is 8.829 m/s²

Natali [406]

<span>The Special (as in Limited) Theory of Relativity, is a simplification of the General Theory of Relativity.

Essentially, if you eliminate acceleration, and any significant mass from the General Theory, you get the Special Theory.

Evidence for Special Relativity (solar moons for example), is also evidence for the General Theory. The General Theory is supported by:
- Universal expansion
- the spin down of binary pulsars
- frame dragging
- gravitational lensing
- gravitational time dilation</span><span> </span>

A warehouse worker is pushing a 90.0-kg crate with a horizontal force of 282 N at a speed of v = 0.850 m/s across the warehouse

Elanso [62]

Answer:

$v_{f} = 0.51 \frac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

We apply Newton's second law at the crate :

∑F = m*a (Formula 1)

∑F : algebraic sum of the forces in Newton (N)

m : mass in kilograms (kg)

a : acceleration in meters over second square (m/s²)

Data:

m=90kg : crate mass

F= 282 N

μk =0.351 :coefficient of kinetic friction

g = 9.8 m/s² : acceleration due to gravity

Crate weight (W)

W= m*g

W= 90kg*9.8 m/s²

W= 882 N

Friction force : Ff

Ff= μk*N Formula (2)

μk: coefficient of kinetic friction

N : Normal force (N)

Problem development

We apply the formula (1)

∑Fy = m*ay , ay=0

N-W = 0

N = W

N = 882 N

We replace the data in the formula (2)

Ff= μk*N = 0.351* 882 N

Ff= 309.58 N

We apply the formula (1) in x direction:

∑Fx = m*ax , ax=0

282 N - 309.58 N = 90*a

a= (282 N - 309.58 N ) / (90)

a= - 0.306 m/s²

Kinematics of the crate

Because the crate moves with uniformly accelerated movement we apply the following formula :

vf²=v₀²+2*a*d Formula (3)

Where:

d:displacement in meters (m)

v₀: initial speed in m/s

vf: final speed in m/s

a: acceleration in m/s²

Data

v₀ = 0.850 m/s

d = 0.75 m

a= - 0.306 m/s²

We replace the data in the formula (3)

vf²=(0.850)²+(2)( - 0.306 )(0.75 )

$v_{f} = \sqrt{(0.850)^{2} +(2)( - 0.306 )(0.75 )}$

$v_{f} = 0.51 \frac{m}{s}$
