Answer:

The mass of the earth, M=6.023\times 10^{24}\ kg

Explanation:

It is given that,

Time taken by the moon to orbit the earth, T=27.3\ days=2358720\ m

Distance between moon and the earth,r=384000\ km=384\times 10^6\ m

We need to find the mass of the Earth using Kepler's third law of motion as :

T^2=\dfrac{4\pi^2}{GM}r^3

M=\dfrac{4\pi^2r^3}{T^2G}

M=\dfrac{4\pi^2\times (384\times 10^6)^3}{(2358720)^2\times 6.67\times 10^{-11}}

M=6.023\times 10^{24}\ kg

So, the mass of the earth is 6.023\times 10^{24}\ kg. Hence, this is the required solution.

Describe how an inclined plane increases the force without changing the amount of work done
yawa3891 [41]

An inclined plane decreases the amount of force needed to move an object but increases the distance the onject needs to be moved. Since work = distance x force, whe amount of work stays the same.

A permanent magnet is pushed into a wire, left there for a while, and then pulled out. During which time does a current run thou
lakkis [162]

Answer:

C. while the magnet is moving

Explanation:

Electromagnetic induction implies the production of electric current by mere movement of a magnet with respect to a coil or wire.

In the given question, current would be induced in the wire only when the magnet moves. That is either when the magnet is pushed into a wire, or when pulled out. But no current would flow through the wire when the magnet is left there for a while.

The current is induced because of the motion involved. Thus, the appropriate option is C.

A lemon with mass 0.3 kg falls out of a tree from a height of 1.8 m. How much mechanical energy does the lemon have just before
Zina [86]
Mechanical energy is the energy that is possessed by an object due to its motion or due to its position. It can either be kinetics or potential. In this problem you know it starting position so you can calculate it's potential energy (PE):

<span>PE=mass∗gravity∗height=0.3kg∗9.8m/s2∗1.8m=?

</span>The answer will typically be given in joules:

1J=kg∗m2s2 Could be wrong...  But I believe it is 5.3...? as a final product.
