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

Describe an example of newton’s 3rd law of motion
professor190 [17]

Answer:

For example, when you jump, your legs apply a force to the ground, and the ground applies and equal and opposite reaction force that propels you into the air. Engineers apply Newton's third law when designing rockets and other projectile devices.

What is santa's average speed when visiting houses if he visits 800 million houses over 48 hours?
goldenfox [79]

Well, "speed" normally = (total distance covered) / (time to cover the distance).

In this case, we don't know the total distance that Santa has traveled, so the question can be answered only if we're willing to consider some other meaning of "speed".

Maybe we could say that in this case, "speed" means the average rate at which he visits houses. Then ...

Speed of visits = (total houses visited) / (time to visit them).

Speed of visits = (800 million houses) / (48 hours)

Speed of visits = 16.67 million houses per hour.

That's 277.8 thousand houses per minute

That's <em>4,630 houses per second</em>

A 50 Q resistor in a circuit has a current flowing through it of 2.0 A. What is
Alex17521 [72]

Hello!

We can use the following equation for calculating power dissipated by a resistor:
P = i^2R

P = Power (? W)
i = Current through resistor (2.0 A)
R = Resistance of resistor (50Ω)

Plug in the known values and solve.

P = (2.0^2)(50) = \boxed{\text{ B. }200 W}
