Answer: 2561.7 pounds

Explanation:

If we assume the total weight of an airplane (in pounds units) as a <u>linear function</u> of the amount of fuel in its tank (in gallons) and we make a Weight vs amount of fuel graph, which resulting slope is 5.7, we can use the slope equation of the line:

m=\frac{Y-Y_{1}}{X-X_{1}}  (1)

Where:

m=5.7 is the slope of the line

Y_{1}=2390.7pounds is the airplane weight with  51 gallons of fuel in its tank (assuming we chose the Y axis for the airplane weight in the graph)

X_{1}=51gallons is the fuel in airplane's tank for a total weigth of 2390.7 pounds (assuming we chose the X axis for the a,ount of fuel in the tank in the graph)

This means we already have one point of the graph, which coordinate is:

(X_{1},Y_{1})=(51,2390.7)

Rewritting (1):

Y=m(X-X_{1})+Y_{1}  (2)

As Y is a function of X:

Y=f_{(X)}=m(X-X_{1})+Y_{1}  (3)

Substituting the known values:

f_{(X)}=5.7(X-51)+2390.7  (4)

f_{(X)}=5.7X-290.7+2390.7  (5)

f_{(X)}=5.7X+2100  (6)

Now, evaluating this function when X=81 (talking about the 81 gallons of fuel in the tank):

f_{(81)}=5.7(81)+2100  (7)

f_{(81)}=2561.7  (8)   This means the weight of the plane when it has 81 gallons of fuel in its tank is 2561.7 pounds.

The force that binds atoms together to form molecules is
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

The electromagnetic force

Explanation:

There are four fundamental forces in nature:

- Gravitational force: it is the force that acts between any particles having mass. It is relevant only on very large scales (planets, stars), since it is the weakest of the 4 forces, so very large masses are needed in order to produce relevant effects.

- Electromagnetic force: it is the force that acts between particles with electric charge. It can be attractive or repulsive. It is the main force that acts between atoms and molecules.

- Strong nuclear force: it is the force that keeps the protons and the neutrons together inside the nucleus. It acts only on very short scales (only within the nucleus of the atom)

- Weak nuclear force: it is the force responsible for the radioactive decays of certain nuclei. It also acts on very short scales.

Therefore, the force that is responsible for binding atoms together to form molecules is the electromagnetic force.

The Earth's gravity keeps us from flying out to space. How can you explain that we have a stronger gravitational attraction to t
julia-pushkina [17]
It's the fourth choice.

This is because, since we are closer to the Earth, the Earth will have a stronger gravitational pull on us since again, we are closer.
That also explains tides, but that's just getting off topic. Hope I helped.
