Discovered by Sir Isaac Newton, this law states that every object in the universe that has mass attracts every other object in the universe that has mass. The force is proportional to the product of the two masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers. When applying this to a situation with two objects, the object with the smaller mass will do most of the moving because the other object has too much inertia to move any noticeable amount.


4. Without advanced technology like we have today, Ptolemy and Copernicus tried to best explain the model of the universe through observation. Ptolemy’s model came first and placed a stationary earth at the center of the model. Everything else moved in respect to earth. This was widely accepted since it seemed like earth was not moving. Ptolemy stated that the planetary bodies moved around the earth in circular paths. However, this wasn’t always witnessed through observation. He adjusted his model to state that some planets must be moving in secondary orbits.


Copernicus put a rotating earth in a sun-centered model. The rotation of earth was able to account for the rising and setting of stars. The orbital motion of the earth and moon also accounted for the motion of the sun and moon with respect to the stars. This was easier to understand but encountered scrutiny due to its differences from religious teachings.


One big difference between the approaches in the two is that Copernicus didn’t try to adjust his model to match what was going on; he used observations to develop the model. In addition, one common trend in science is that the simplest explanation is usually most accurate or closer to accurate. Copernicus’ model was more straightforward; Ptolemy’s was more complex.

<u>Answers</u>

1)  3,840 N

2) 80 m


<u>Explanations</u>

Centripetal force is the force that maintenance objects that are moving in a circular motion.

F = mv²/r

  = (1500 × 16²)/100

   = (1500×256)/100

     = 384000/100

     = 3,840 N

2) F = (mv²)/r

       6000 N = (1200 × 20²)/r

r = (1200 × 400)/6000

   = 480,000/6000

     = 80 m

How is the lifetime of a star related to its mass?
Flauer [41]
Stars having less mass collapses early than those with more mass. This can be explained by Einstein's equation E=mc².
According to this equation, mass of stars is converted into light due to thermonuclear reactions occuring in the core of star which acts as engine of the stars. This thermonuclear reactions keeps star alive. Thermonuclear reactions occurs slowly in massive stars hence massive stars live more than light stars.

At a certain location, Earth has a magnetic field of 0.60 ✕ 10−4 T, pointing 75° below the horizontal in a north-south plane. A
saveliy_v [14]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Magnetic field,B=0.6\times 10^{-4} T

\theta=75^{\circ}

Length of wire,l=15 m

Current,I=19 A

a.We have to find the magnitude of magnetic force and direction of magnetic force.

Magnetic force,F=IBlsin\theta

Using the formula

F=0.6\times 10^{-4}\times 15\times 19sin75

F=16.5\times 10^{-3} N

Direction=tan\theta=cot(90-75)=tan15^{\circ}

\theta=15^{\circ}

15 degree above the horizontal  in the northward direction.

Energy is conventionally measured in Calories as well as in joules. One Calorie in nutrition is one kilocalorie, defined as 1 kc
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

a) The student must run flight of stairs to lose 1.00 kg of fat 709.5 times.

b) Average power

P(w)= 1062.07 [w]

P(hp)=1.42 [hp]

c) This activity is highly unpractical, because the high amount of repetitions he has to due in order to lose, just 1 Kg of fat.

Explanation:

First, lets consider the required amount of work to move the mass of the student. (considering running stairs just as a vertical movement)

Work:

W= F*d= m*g*d

Where m is the mass of the student, g is gravity (9.8 m/s) and d is the total distance going up the stairs (0.15m *85steps= 12.75m )

W= F*d= m*g*d=85* 9.8*12.75=10620.75 [J]

Converting from Joules to Kcals:

\frac{10620.75}{4186} =2.537 Kcal

Now lets take into account the efficiency of the human body (20%)

2.537 ---> 20%

 x       ---> 100%

x=\frac{2.537*100}{20} =12.685

So the student is consuming 12.685 KCals each time he runs up the stairs.

Now,

1 g --> 9 Kcals

1000 g --> 9000KCals

Burning 1 g of fat, requieres 9 KCals, 1000g burns 9000KCals. So in order to burn a 1Kg of fat:

\frac{9000Kcals}{12.685Kcals} =709.5 times

He must run up the stairs 709.5 times, to burn 1 Kg of fat.

********************

For b) just converting units, taking into account the time lapse. (53103.75 is the 100% of the energy in joules, from converting 12.685Kcals to joules)

Power=\frac{Joules}{Seconds} =\frac{53103.75}{50} =1062.075 [W]\\

P(hp)=\frac{P(w)}{745.7} =\frac{1062.075}{745.7} =1.42[hp]

constant speed 30 ms
50 ms total time
1/20 of a second

solution:
