The gravitational force between the two objects is given by:
F=G  \frac{m_1 m_2}{d^2}
where
G=8.99 \cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1} s^{-2} is the gravitational constant
m_1 = 1.99 \cdot 10^{30} kg is the Sun mass
m_2 = 3.30 \cdot 10^{23} kg is the mass of Mercury
and d is the distance between Sun and Mercury. Since we know the force:
F=8.99 \cdot 10^{21} N
we can re-arrange the formula to find d:
d= \sqrt{ G \frac{m_1 m_2}{F} }=6.98 \cdot 10^{10}m

Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

The graph for this problem must depict the following ""Increased allocation of resources to reproduction relative to growth diminished future fecundity."

Hence, the survivor ship must be on the Y axis and the resources on the X axis.

Here the resources include the number of seeds produced.

hence, the higher is the number of seeds (resource), the lower is the survivorship (future fecundity)

Hence, option A is correct

At the top of a hill a roller coaster has gravitational potential energy due to its position. What happend to this potential ene
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

As the roller coaster speeds up on the way down the hill, the potential energy of  roller coaster will be converted to kinetic energy.

<h3>What is Conservation of Energy ?</h3>

Conservation of energy state that energy is neither created nor destroy, they can only be transformed from one form to another. Energy of and object can transform from Potential energy to kinetic energy and vice versa

Given that at the top of a hill a roller coaster has gravitational potential energy due to its position. What will happen to this potential energy as the roller coaster speeds up on the way down the hill is that the potential energy to the roller coaster will start decreasing while the kinetic energy will start to increase.

The total energy of the roller coaster will be constant because of conservation of energy. As the roller coaster speeds up on the way down the hill, the potential energy will eventually reduce to zero where the total energy of the as the roller coaster will be equal to maximum kinetic energy.

Therefore, as the roller coaster speeds up on the way down the hill, the potential energy of  roller coaster will be converted to kinetic energy.

After you pick up a spare, your bowling ball rolls without slipping back toward the ball rack with a linear speed of 2.85 m/s. T
motikmotik

Answer:

V' = 0.84 m/s

Explanation:

given,

Linear speed of the ball, v = 2.85 m/s

rise of the ball, h = 0.53 m

Linear speed of the ball, v' = ?

rotation kinetic energy of the ball

KE_r = \dfrac{1}{2}I\omega^2

I of the moment of inertia of the sphere

I = \dfrac{2}{5}MR^2

 v = R ω

using conservation of energy

KE_r = \dfrac{1}{2}( \dfrac{2}{5}MR^2)(\dfrac{V}{R})2

KE_r = \dfrac{1}{5}MV^2

Applying conservation of energy

Initial Linear KE + Initial roational KE = Final Linear KE + Final roational KE + Potential energy

\dfrac{1}{2}MV^2 + \dfrac{1}{5}MV^2 = \dfrac{1}{2}MV'^2 + \dfrac{1}{5}MV'^2 + M g h

0.7 V^2 = 0.7 V'^2 + gh

0.7\times 2.85^2 = 0.7\times V'^2 +9.8\times 0.53

V'² = 0.7025

V' = 0.84 m/s

the linear speed of the ball at the top of ramp is equal to 0.84 m/s

Rocks are elastic too! Explain how elasticity and Harry Reid's elastic rebound theory lead to a better understanding of earthqua
ANEK [815]
After the great 1906 San Francisco earthquake, geolophysicistHarry Fielding Reid examined the displacement of the ground surface along the San Andreas Fault. He concluded that the quake must have been the result of the elastic reboundof the strain energy in the rocks on either side of the fault.
strain energy is 0. 5x force x (compression) X (compression)
There is a lot of force and a bit of compression when rocks squash up against other rocks causing earthquakes

A rabbit is hopping along at an approximately constant speed of 3.9 m/s. The rabbit passes a crouched cat ready to chase the rab
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

t  = 7,8 s

Explanation:

From the instant, the rabbit passes the cat. The cat star running acceleration of 0,5 m/s² .

When the cat arrives at the speed of 3,9 m/s the cat catches the rabbit

Then for the cat arrives at 3,9 m/s nedds

v = vo + a*t     vo  = 0  then   v = a*t

3,9 ( m/s) = 0,5 ( m/s² ) * t

t  = 7,8 s

v  =  3,9 m/s =
