Answer:

2023857702.507m

Explanation:

f=\frac{GMm}{r^{2} }

recall from newton's law of gravitation

G=gravitational constant

mshew=50g

melephant=5*10^3kg

rearth=radius of the earth 6400km or 6400000m

mearth= masss of the earth

Gm(shrew)m(earth)/r(earth)^2 = Gm(elephant)m(earth)/r^2

strike out the left hand side and right hand side variables

m(shrew)/r(earth)^2 = m(elephant)/r^2

r^2 = m(elephant).r(earth)^2 / m(shrew)       .........make r^2 the subject of the equation

r^2=(5*10^{3} *(6400000)^{2} )/.05

r^2=40960000000000

r=2023857702.507m

A biker goes up hill with a constant speed of 10km/h. Then he goes downhill with a constant speed of 50km/h. What's his average
Sladkaya [172]

This is not as simple as it looks.  

His average speed is NOT (10km/hr + 50km/hr)/2 = 30 km/hr.

You have to use the definition of speed:

Speed = (total distance covered) / (time to cover the distance).

Let's say the distance up (and down) the hill is 'd' .

Then the time it takes to go up the hill is (d/10) hours.

And the time it takes to come down the hill is (d/50) hours.

Total distance = 2d km

Total time = (d/10) + (d/50) = (5d/50) + (d/50) = 6d/50

Speed = distance/time = 2d/(6d/50) = 100d/6d

<em>Speed = </em>100/6 = <em>16-2/3 km/hr</em>

Which of the following are transferred or shared when two atoms react chemically? *
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

One of the basic principles of chemistry is the electrostatic attraction between atoms or compounds. Electrons are on the outside of an atoms and that's where the charges come from and the interaction between those charges is what happens during a chemical bond. Therefore the answer would be electrons.

A 30 ohm resistor and a 20 ohm resistor are
Reptile [31]

The current that would pass through the 30 ohms resistor is 2 A.

<h3>What is electric current?</h3>

Electric current is the rate of flow of electric charge round a conductor.

To calculate the electric current that would pass through the 30 ohms resistor, we use the formula below

Formula:

  • I = V/Rt........... Equation 1

Where:

  • I = Electric current passing through the 30 ohms resistor
  • V = Voltage
  • Rt = Total or effective resistance of the resistors.

From the question,

Given:

  • V = 100 volts
  • Rt = (30+20) ohms (since both resistors are connected in series)
  • Rt = 50 ohms

Substitute these values into equation 1

  • I = 100/50
  • I = 2 A

Hence, The current that would pass through the 30 ohms resistor is 2 A.
