Answer:

The answer is 8.44*10^9 Newton

Explanation:

The equation for universal gravitation is:

F=G*m_{1}*m_{2}/r^{2}

Where:

G= 6.674×10^−11 N · (m/kg)^2

M(earth)=5.972 × 10^24 kg

M(asteroid)=5.0×10^13 kg

r=1.537*10^9 m (Calculated from average distance between moon and earth)

The force will be:

F=6.674*10^{-11}*5.972*10^{24}*5*10^{13}/(1.537*10^9)^2\\F=8.44*10^9

8.44*10^9 Newton

Answer:

Please do not take my word for this at all, but this is what I found, "When the pendulum swings back down, the potential energy is converted back into kinetic energy. At all times, the sum of potential and kinetic energy is constant." So I think the answer is B also you are anime fan too lol :DD I love hinata

A certain nuclear power plant is capable of producing 1.2×10^9 W of electric power. During operation of the reactor, mass is con
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

0.00016 kg

Explanation:  

Given:

Power = P = 1.2 × 10⁹ Watts

Power =  work done / Time

efficiency = 0.30

Input power = 1.2 × 10⁹ / 0.30 =  4  × 10⁹ W

Energy =  4  × 10⁹ x 60 x 60 = 1.44 x 10¹³ joules

E = m c² , where c is the speed of light and m is the mass.

⇒ mass = m = E / c²  = (1.44 x 10¹³) / (3 × 10⁸ )²

                                   = 0.00016 kg

If a 0.15 kg ball falls and has a KE of 20 J just before striking the ground, from what height did it fall. A. 1.36m B. 3m C. 13
RUDIKE [14]
According to the conservation of mechanical energy, the kinetic energy just before the ball strikes the ground is equal to the potential energy just before it fell. 

Therefore, we can say KE = PE
We know that PE = m·g·h

Which means KE = m·g·h

We can solve for h:

h = KE / m·g
   = 20 / (0.15 · 9.8) 
   = 13.6m

The correct answer is: the ball has fallen from a height of 13.6m.
