Answer:

6.37 x 10³ Km

Explanation:

given,

Radius of earth = 6,370,000 m

we know,

1 km = 1000 m

1 m = 0.001 Km

6,370,000 m =  6,370,000 x 0.001

                       = 6,370 Km

The number 6,370 has 3 significant figure.

To transform this to an exponential number, it is necessary to move the decimal to the left so there is only one digit in front of the decimal point.

Representing the given number in scientific notation

      = 6.37 x 10³ Km

Explain why does the bowling ball decelerate as it travels along the lane
frutty [35]

The main cause of this is Friction. The more oil that is laid down, the less friction there is between the ball and the lane surface. The less friction, the harder it is for the bowler to send the ball in a curved path imparted by the spin that the bowler puts on the ball at the instant of release.

Force F acts between two charges, q1 and q2, separated by a distance d. If q1 is increased to twice its original value and the d
Step2247 [10]
Okay, haven't done physics in years, let's see if I remember this.

So Coulomb's Law states that F = k \frac{Q_1Q_2}{d^2} so if we double the charge on Q_1 and double the distance to (2d) we plug these into the equation to find

<span>F_{new} = k \frac{2Q_1Q_2}{(2d)^2}=k \frac{2Q_1Q_2}{4d^2} = \frac{2}{4} \cdot k \frac{Q_1Q_2}{d^2} = \frac{1}{2} \cdot F_{old}</span>

So we see the new force is exactly 1/2 of the old force so your answer should be \frac{1}{2}F if I can remember my physics correctly.

The graph represents the force applied on an 3.00kg crate while it moved 5.0m. A. How much total work is done on the crate? B. I
jeka57 [31]

a. We can calculate the amount of work by calculating the area under the graph.

first area (rectangular): 2.5 x 6 = 15

second area(trapezoid): 1/2 x (6+10) x 2.5 =20

total work done: 35 J

b. the force was first applied = 6 N

F = m.a

a = 6 : 3 = 2 m/s²

vf²=vi²+2as

vf²=6²+2.2.5

vf²=56

vf=7.5 m/s
