Answer:

The earth's gravitational force on the sun is equal to the sun's gravitational force on the earth

Explanation:

Newton's third law (law of action-reaction) states that:

"When an object A exerts a force (called action) on an object B, then object B exerts an equal and opposite force (called reaction) on object A"

In other words, when two objects exert a force on each other, then the magnitude of the two forces is the same (while the directions are opposite).

In this problem, we can call the Sun as "object A" and the Earth as "object B". According to Newton's third law, therefore, we can say that the gravitational force that the Earth exerts on the Sun is equal (in magnitude, and opposite in direction) to the gravitational force that the Sun exerts on the Earth.

After landing on an unfamiliar planet, a space explorer constructs a simple pendulum of length 54.0 cm. The explorer finds that
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

g = 11.2 m/s²

Explanation:

First, we will calculate the time period of the pendulum:

T = \frac{t}{n}

where,

T = Time period = ?

t = time taken = 135 s

n = no. of swings in given time = 98

Therefore,

T = \frac{135\ s}{98}

T = 1.38 s

Now, we utilize the second formula for the time period of the simple pendulum, given as follows:

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}

where,

l = length of pendulum = 54 cm = 0.54 m

g = acceleration due to gravity on the planet = ?

Therefore,

(1.38\ s)^2 = 4\pi^2(\frac{0.54\ m}{g} )\\\\g = \frac{4\pi^2(0.54\ m)}{(1.38\ s)^2}

<u>g = 11.2 m/s²</u>

When a 5.0kg cart undergoes a 2.2m/s increase in speed, what is the impulse of the cart
Karolina [17]

Answer:

11.0 kg m/s

Explanation:

The impulse exerted on the cart is equal to its change in momentum:

I=\Delta p=m\Delta v

where

m = 5.0 kg is the mass of the cart

\Delta v=2.2 m/s is its change in speed

Substituting numbers into the equation, we find

I=(5.0kg)(2.2 m/s)=11 kg m/s
