To solve the problem, use Kepler's 3rd law : 

T² = 4π²r³ / GM 

Solved for r : 

r = [GMT² / 4π²]⅓ 

but first covert 6.00 years to seconds : 

6.00years = 6.00years(365days/year)(24.0hours/day)(6... 
= 1.89 x 10^8s 

The radius of the orbit then is : 

r = [(6.67 x 10^-11N∙m²/kg²)(1.99 x 10^30kg)(1.89 x 10^8s)² / 4π²]⅓ 
= 6.23 x 10^11m

A sphere is charged with electrons to
pishuonlain [190]
A sphere is charged with electrons to −9 × 10−6 C. The value given is the total charge of all the electrons present in the sphere. To calculate the number of electrons in the sphere, we divide the the total charge with the charge of one electron.

N = 9 × 10−6 C / 1.6 × 10−19 C
N = 5.6 x 10^13

You apply a horizontal force of 25N to push a shopping cart across the parking lot at a constant velocity. a) what is the net fo
AlekseyPX

(a) The net force on the shopping cart is zero.

(b) The the force of friction on the shopping cart is 25 N.

(c) When same force is applied to the shopping cart on a wet surface, it will move faster.

<h3>Net force on the shopping cart</h3>

The net force on the shopping cart is calculated as follows;

F(net) = F - Ff

where;

  • F is the applied force
  • Ff is the frictional force

ma = F - Ff

where;

  • a is acceleration of the cart
  • m is mass of the cart

at a constant velocity, a = 0

0 = F - Ff

F(net)  = 0

F = Ff = 25 N

Net force is zero, and frictional force is equal to applied force.

<h3>On wet surface</h3>

Coefficient of kinetic friction of solid surface is greater than that of wet surface.

Since frictional force limit motion, when the frictional force is smaller, the object tends to move faster.

Thus, the cart will move faster on a wet surface due to decrease in friction.

Power plants can be powered by fossil fuels, such as coal or natural gas, or nuclear power to produce steam to turn turbines to
Naddika [18.5K]
<span>Nuclear energy is cleaner while generating electricity. Nuclear fission provides energy without releasing greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide. However, nuclear power plants generate significant amounts of radioactive waste.  That is why we should not choose nuclear energy over fossil fuel power plants.</span>

Hydraulic press is called an instrument for multiplication of force. Why?
Lisa [10]

Answer:

Hydraulic press is called an instrument for multiplication of force. Why? Because it uses Pascal's idea and  principle: F=p*S. If we apply small force to small piston you will generate a pressure. According to Pascal's law pressure is the same everywhere in closed system so the same pressure will act on large piston on the other side too.
