Answer:

7229 N

Explanation:

The gravitational force between the Death Star and the Millenium Falcon is given by:

$F=G\frac{mM}{R^2}$

where

$G=6.67\cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1} s^{-2}$ is the gravitational constant

$M=5.1\cdot 10^{17} kg$ is the mass of the Death Star

$m=1.36\cdot 10^6 kg$ is the mass of the Millennium Falcon

$R=\frac{160,000 m}{2}=80,000 m$ is the radius of the Death Star

Substituting numbers into the equation, we find the force

$F=(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})\frac{(1.36\cdot 10^6 kg)(5.1\cdot 10^{17} kg)}{(80,000 m)^2}=7229 N$

One of the important waste products of photosynthesis is oxygen gas. Where does this oxygen gas come from?

chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

End product of photosynthesis.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is a process that plants undergo in the manufacture of their food. This is done in the presence of sunlight which is trapped by their coloring pigment called chlorophyll and reactants such as Carbon dioxide and Water.

6CO2+6H2O= C6H12O6+ 6O2

The oxygen gas which is a waste product of photosynthesis is released into the atmosphere and used by animals in respiration.

A jumbo jet weighing 65,000 kg Is accelerating at 3 m/s^2 while its jet engines are putting out 200000 N of thrust.

sveticcg [70]

Answer:

Fa = 5000 [N]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use Newton's second law, which tells us that the sum of forces on a body is equal to the product of mass by acceleration.

Let's assume that the movement of the plane is to the right, any movement or force to the right will be marked with a positive sign, while any force or movement to the left, will be taken as negative.

The force of the turbine drives the plane to the right, therefore it is positive, the acceleration is constant and keeps the movement to the right, therefore it is positive, the wind drag force tries to prevent the movement of the plane to the left therefore it is negative, with this analysis we deduce the following equation.

ΣF = m*a

where:

ΣF = sum of forces [N] (units of Newtons)

m = mass = 65000 [kg]

a = acceleration = 3 [m/s²]

Fa = force exerted by the air [N]

200000 - Fa = 65000*3

Fa = 200000 - (3*65000)

Fa = 5000 [N]

What are some ways scientists can study the seafloor?

TiliK225 [7]

Answer: A device records the time it takes sound waves to travel from the surface to the ocean floor and back again. Sound waves travel through water at a known speed. Once scientists know the travel time of the wave, they can calculate the distance to the ocean floor.

Electric fields up to 2.00 × 10 5 N/C have been measured inside of clouds during electrical storms. Neglect the drag force due t

katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

$1.9161676647\times 10^{13}\ m/s^2$ or $1.9532799844\times 10^{12}g$

23.4843749996 m

Yes

Explanation:

E = Electric field = $2\times 10^5\ N/C$

c = Speed of light = $3\times 10^8\ m/s$

m = Mass of proton= $1.67\times 10^{-27}\ kg$

q = Charge of electron = $1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C$

Acceleration is given by

$a=\dfrac{Eq}{m}\\\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{2\times 10^5\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}{1.67\times 10^{-27}}\\\Rightarrow a=1.9161676647\times 10^{13}\ m/s^2$

Dividing by g

$\dfrac{a}{g}=\dfrac{1.9161676647\times 10^{13}}{9.81}\\\Rightarrow a=1.9532799844\times 10^{12}g$

The acceleration is $1.9161676647\times 10^{13}\ m/s^2$ or $1.9532799844\times 10^{12}g$

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow s=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\Rightarrow s=\dfrac{(0.1\times 3\times 10^8)^2-0^2}{2\times 1.9161676647\times 10^{13}}\\\Rightarrow s=23.4843749996\ m$

The distance is 23.4843749996 m

The gravitational field is very small compared to the electric field so the effects of gravity can be ignored.
