To solve this problem, we derive Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation as the basis of computation

Where: M₁ = mass of planet #1

M₂ = mass of planet #2

M = total mass

R₁ = radius of planet #1

R₂ = radius of planet #2

d₁ = initial distance between planet centers

d₂ = final distance between planet centers

a = semimajor axis of plunge orbit

v₁ = relative speed of approach at distance d₁

v₂ = relative speed of approach at distance d₂

 

To determine velocity during the impact of two heavenly bodies, the solution is as follows:

M₁ = M₂ = 1.8986e27 kilograms

M = M₁ + M₂ = 3.7972e27 kg

G = 6.6742e-11 m³ kg⁻¹ sec⁻²

GM = 2.5343e17 m³ sec⁻²

d₁ = 1.4e11 meters

a = d₁/2 = 7e10 meters

R₁ = R₂ = 7.1492e7 meters

d₂ = R₁ + R₂ = 1.42984e8 meters

v₁ = 0

v₂ = √[GM(2/d₂−1/a)]

v₂ = 59508.4 m/s

The final answer is 59508.4 m/s.

chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

T = 300 N

Explanation:

As we know that the painter is standing at the middle of the scaffold

So here the two ropes will exert same tension on the scaffold

So we will have

T_1 + T_2 = W

also we know

T_1 = T_2

so we will have

2T = W

T = \frac{W}{2}

so tension is half of the weight in both the strings

So it is

T = 300 N

Rounded to the nearest whole number, how many neutrons, on average, are in an atom of osmium?
andrey2020 [161]

Answer: 114

Explanation:

The mass number of an element gives the sum of the protons and the neutrons inside the nucleus of one atom of that element, while the atomic number of an element gives the number of protons inside one atom of that element.

We can infer the number of neutrons inside one atom of Osmium from its mass number and atomic number.

The atomic number of osmium is 76, so each atom of osmium has 76 protons

The (average) mass number of osmium is 190, so each atom of osmium has (on average) 190 protons+neutrons

So, in order to find the average number of neutrons, we can subtract the atomic number from the mass number:

N=A-Z=190-76=114
