Answer:

The answer is \frac{F_{Sun-Mercury} }{F_{Sun-Earth} } =0,3709. Let's learn why.

Explanation:

Newton's law of universal gravitation says;

F_{g} =G.\frac{m_{1}.m_{2}}{r^{2}}

Here G is a universal gravitational <u>constant</u> and is measured experimentally.

Sun's gravitational pull on mercury is:

F_{Sun-Mercury} =G.\frac{m_{sun}.3,30.10^{23}}{(5,79.10^{10})^{2} }

Therefore F_{Sun-Mercury} = Gm_{sun} 98,4366

Sun's gravitational pull on Earth is:

F_{Sun-Earth} =G.\frac{m_{sun} 5,97.10^{24} }{(1,50.10^{11}) ^{2}}

Therefore F_{Sun-Earth} =Gm_{sun} 265,33

As a result;

\frac{F_{Sun-Mercury}}{F_{Sun-Earth} }=\frac{Gm_{sun}98,4366}{Gm_{sun}265,33 } =0,3709

When sugar is poured from the box into the sugar bowl, the rubbing of sugar grains creates a static electric charge that repels
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

2.6×10⁻³ N

Explanation:

From coulomb's law,

F = kq'q/r²................ Equation 1

Where F = Repulsive force, q' = charge on the first sugar grain, q = charge on the second sugar grain, r = distance of separation between the sugar grain, k = proportionality constant.

From the question,

since q' = q

Then,

F = kq²/r²..................... Equation 2

Given: q = 1.79×10⁻¹¹ C, r = 3.45×10⁻⁵ m,

Constant: k = 9×10⁹ Nm²/kg².

Substitute into equation 2

F = 9×10⁹(1.79×10⁻¹¹)²/(3.45×10⁻⁵ )²

F = 9×10⁹(3.2041×10⁻²²)/(11.9025×10⁻¹⁰)

F = (28.8369×10⁻¹³)/(11.9025×10⁻¹⁰)

F = 2.6×10⁻³ N.
