Gravity decreases with the square of the distance, so the new force is (20)/(2*2) = 5N.

Suppose a small planet is discovered that is 16 times as far from the Sun as the Earth's distance is from the Sun. Use Kepler's
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

23376 days

Explanation:

The problem can be solved using Kepler's third law of planetary motion which states that the square of the period T of a planet round the sun is directly proportional to the cube of its mean distance R from the sun.

T^2\alpha R^3\\T^2=kR^3.......................(1)

where k is a constant.

From equation (1) we can deduce that the ratio of the square of the period of a planet to the cube of its mean distance from the sun is a constant.

\frac{T^2}{R^3}=k.......................(2)

Let the orbital period of the earth be T_e and its mean distance of from the sun be R_e.

Also let the orbital period of the planet be T_p and its mean distance from the sun be R_p.

Equation (2) therefore implies the following;

\frac{T_e^2}{R_e^3}=\frac{T_p^2}{R_p^3}....................(3)

We make the period of the planet T_p the subject of formula as follows;

T_p^2=\frac{T_e^2R_p^3}{R_e^3}\\T_p=\sqrt{\frac{T_e^2R_p^3}{R_e^3}\\}................(4)

But recall that from the problem stated, the mean distance of the planet from the sun is 16 times that of the earth, so therefore

R_p=16R_e...............(5)

Substituting equation (5) into (4), we obtain the following;

T_p=\sqrt{\frac{T_e^2(16R_e)^3}{(R_e^3}\\}\\T_p=\sqrt{\frac{T_e^24096R_e^3}{R_e^3}\\}

R_e^3 cancels out and we are left with the following;

T_p=\sqrt{4096T_e^2}\\T_p=64T_e..............(6)

Recall that the orbital period of the earth is about 365.25 days, hence;

T_p=64*365.25\\T_p=23376days

What are applications of zeroth law of thermodynamics?​
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

Applications of zeroth law of thermodynamics:

1. When we get very hot food, we wait to make it normal. In this case, hot food exchanges heat with surrounding and brings equilibrium.

2. We keep things in the fridge and those things come equilibrium with fridge temperature.

3. Temperature measurement with a thermometer or another device.

4. In the HVAC system, sensors or thermostats are used to indicate temperature. It always comes in a thermal equilibrium with room temperature.

5. If you and the swimming pool you’re in are at the same temperature, no heat is flowing from you to it or from it to you (although the possibility is there). You’re in thermal equilibrium.

An 85 kg man and his 35 kg daughter are sitting on opposite ends of a 3.00 m see-saw. The see-saw is anchored in the center. If
wolverine [178]

Answer:

0.54m

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

length of seesaw= 3m

mass of man m1= 85kg

weight = mg

W1= 85*10= 850N

mass of daughter m2= 35kg

W2= 35*10= 350N

distance from the center= (1.5-0.2)= 1.3m

Step two:

we know that the sum of clockwise moment equals the anticlockwise moment

let the distance the must sit to balance the system be x

taking moment about the center of the system

350*1.3=850*x

455=850x

divide both sides by  850

x=455/850

x=0.54

Hence the man must sit 0.54m from the right to balance the system

What is the form of energy that is produced in all energy transformations?
Damm [24]

Answer: Long Answer...

Explanation: Most of the time, chemical energy is released in the form of heat, and this transformation from chemical energy to heat, or thermal energy, is called an exothermic reaction. Next, there are two main types of mechanical energy: kinetic energy and potential energy.
