A planet is a celestial body that is in orbit around the Sun, has sufficient mass for its self-gravity to overcome rigid body forces so that it assumes ahydrostatic equilibrium (nearly round) shape, and (c) has cleared the neighbourhood around its orbit.

Answer: $F_{net}=\frac{kq^2}{(L)^2}\left [ \frac{1}{2}+\sqrt{2}\right ]$

Explanation:

Given

Three charges of magnitude q is placed at three corners and fourth charge is placed at last corner with -q charge

Force due to the charge placed at diagonally opposite end on -q charge

$F_1=\frac{kq(-q)}{(L\sqrt{2})^2}$

where $L\sqrt{2}=$ Distance between the two charges

$F_1=-\frac{kq^2}{2L^2}$

negative sign indicates that it is an attraction force

Now remaining two charges will apply the same amount of force as they are equally spaced from -q charge

$F_2=\frac{kq(-q)}{(L)^2}$

The magnitude of force by both the charge is same but at an angle of $90^{\circ}$

thus combination of two forces at 2 and 3 will be

$F'=\sqrt{2}\frac{kq^2}{2L^2}$

Now it will add with force due to 1 charge

Thus net force will be

$F_{net}=\frac{kq^2}{(L)^2}\left [ \frac{1}{2}+\sqrt{2}\right ]$

how does inertia explain the movement of your body when a car in which you are riding comes to a sudden stop? (8 sentences)

nydimaria [60]

Your body continues to move unless stopped by the seatbelt. An object in motion will remain in motion. Since your body was already moving it will continue to.

Alcohol of mass 33.2g and density 0.79kg/m³ or 790kg/m³ is mixed with water of 9g. What is the density of the resulting mixture?

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

0.83 g/cm³

Explanation:

The volume of the alcohol is ...

(33.2 g)/(0.79 g/cm³) ≈ 42.0253 cm³

The density of water is about 1 g/cm³, so the volume of 9 g of it is ...

(9 g)/(1 g/cm³) = 9 cm³

The total volume is ...

42.0253 cm³ +9 cm³ = 51.0253 cm³

The total mass is ...

33.2 g + 9 g = 42.4 g

So, the resulting density is ...

(42.4 g)/(51.0253 cm³) ≈ 0.83 g/cm³

The resulting mixture has a density of about 0.83 g/cm³.

Additional comment

Alcohol dissolves in water, so the total volume will be slightly less than 51.0253 cm³. The attached curve shows the result of mixing ethanol and water.

The weight of a mole of ethanol is about 46 g, of water, about 18.02 g. Then the mole fraction of alcohol is ...

(33.2/46)/(33.2/46 +9/18.02) ≈ 0.59

The volume of the mix is then estimated to be (-1.05 cc/mol)(1.221 mol), or about 1.28 cm³ less than the volume indicated above. That brings the density up to about 0.85 g/cm³.

We're not completely sure of the relevance of this calculation, since many of the applicable parameters are not specified. The point is that the density of the mix will probably be slightly more than the value calculated above. YMMV
