Earth is subject not only to the gravitational force of the Moon but also to the gravitational pull of the Sun. However, Earth i

s much farther away from the Sun than it is from the Moon. In fact, the center of Earth is at an average distance of 1.5×1011m from the center of the Sun. Given that the mass of the Sun is 1.99×1030kg, which of the following statements is correct?
A. The force exerted on Earth by the Sun is weaker than the corresponding force exerted by the Moon.
B. The force exerted on Earth by the Sun is stronger than the corresponding force exerted by the Moon.
C. The force exerted on Earth by the Sun is of the same order of magnitude of the corresponding force exerted by the Moon.

Answer:

option (B)

Explanation:

The gravitational force on earth depends on the mass of sun and the distance of sun from earth.

As the mass of sun is much more than the mass of moon, so the gravitational force of sun on earth is much more than the force on earth due to the moon.

The distance does not matter because the mass of sun is much more.

two large boxes sit side by side on a sidewalk. the box on the left has a mass of 80kg and the box on the right has a mass of 50

     The force that prevents motion when the surfaces of two objects come into contact is known as friction. Friction decreases a machine's mechanical advantage, or, to put it another way, reduces the output to input ratio.

<h3>How can I figure out the frictional force?</h3>

        The resistive force of friction (Fr) divided by the normal or perpendicular force (N) pushing the objects together yields the coefficient of friction (fr), which is a numerical value.

The formula fr = Fr/N serves as a representation of it.

Therefore, 100N of force is needed to move an item with a mass of 50 kg.

It will accelerate by 10 m/s2.

If a substance's mass does not change over time, friction cannot affect it. Instead, friction can be affected in a variety of ways by an object's mass.

Describe the gravity and magnetic separation technique using sand as an example​
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

Gravity separation is an industrial method of separating two components, either a suspension, or dry granular mixture where separating the components with gravity is sufficiently practical: i.e. the components of the mixture have different specific materials and Magnetic separations take advantages of natural magnetic properties between minerals in feed. The separation is between economic ore constituents, noneconomic contaminants and gangue. and saw dust can be separated by gravity separation method. The process can be used for separating insoluble substances which are heavier than liquid by allowing them to settle down on their own due to gravity. The mixture of sand and iron can be separated from each other by using a magnet. Iron gets attracted towards a magnet leaving behind the sand.
