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

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

Your Lead Teaching Assistant is initially seated on the top of a hemispherical ice mound of radius R = 30 m. Approximate the ice

saw5 [17]

Answer:

Height = 5.65 km

Explanation:

$3\pi r^2$ is the circumference or we can say measures the boundary of hemisphere of friction-less ice that he is sitting on.

So, the height will be = 2 x 3.14 x (30)^2 = 5654.7 m = 5.65 km

A ball is dropped from an upper floor, some unknown distance above your apartment. As you look out of your window, which is 1.50

laila [671]

Answer:

The ball is dropped at a height of 9.71 m above the top of the window.

Explanation:

Given:

Height of the window=1.5 m
Time taken by ball to cover the window height=0.15

Now using equation of motion in one dimension we have

$s=ut+\dfrac{at^2}{2}$

Let u be the velocity of the ball when it reaches the top of the window

then

$1.5=0.15u+\dfrac{9.8\times0.15^2}{2}\\u=3.96\ \rm m/s\\$

Now u is the final velocity of the ball with respect to the top of the building

so let t be the time taken for it to reach the top of the window with this velocity

$3.96=gt\\t=0.4\ \rm s\\$

Let h be the height above the top of the window

$h=\dfrac{gt^2}{2}\\\\h=\dfrac{9.8\times 0.4^2}{2}\\h=9.71\ \rm m$

The moon is smaller and more dense than the Earth, and has less extreme temperature changes.

Lerok [7]

The moon is smaller and more dense than the Earth, and has less extreme temperature changes. The statement presented is True. In terms of temperature, since there is no atmosphere on the moon, then it has less extreme temperature changes. The moon can reach 253 Fahrenheit in the day and -387 Fahrenheit at night.
