We need to be careful here.
The calculation of the gravitational force between two objects
refers to the distance between their centers.
The minimum possible distance between the Earth's and moon's
centers is the sum of their radii (radiuses).
Earth's radius . . . . . 6,360 km = 6.36 x 10⁶ meters
Moon's radius . . . . . 1,738 km = 1.738 x 10⁶ meters
Sum of their radii = 8.098 x 10⁶ meters
Also:
Earth's mass . . . . . 5.972 x 10²⁴ kg
Moon's mass . . . . . 7.348 x 10²² kg
<span>
and now we're ready to go !
Gravitational force =
G M₁ M₂ / R²
= (6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N-m²/kg²)(</span><span>5.972 x 10²⁴ kg)(7.348 x 10²² kg)/</span>(8.098 x 10⁶ m)²
= (6.67 · 5.972 · 7.348 / 8.098²) · (10²³) Newtons
= (I get ...) 4.463 x 10²³ Newtons
That's almost exactly 10²³ pounds
= 50,153,000,000,000,000,000 tons.
Those are big numbers.
All I can say is: I wouldn't exactly call that "resting" on the surface".
If an object's velocity is steadily increasing it means that the acceleration is constant at a certain value.
Choice A shows an acceleration of zero which would only be true if the object was not moving or if its velocity was not changing.
Choice B gives us a graph showing acceleration increasing over time and is therefore incorrect.
Choice C is correct because the acceleration is constant. Steadily increasing tells us that the acceleration is fixed at a certain value.
Choice D is incorrect an represents a constant negative acceleration. This would be the case if the object was steadily decreasing in velocity.
Answer:
They generate energy through hydrogen fusion in their core.
Explanation:
hope this helps :)
Given
Weight of the block A, Wa = 20 lb, weight of block B Wb = 50 lb. Applied
force to block A, P = 6lb, coefficient of static friction µs = 0.4, coefficient
of kinetic friction µk = 0.3. If a force P
is applied to the body, no relative motion will take place until the applied
force is equal to the force of friction Ff, which is acting opposite to the
direction of motion. Magnitude of static force of friction between block A and
block B, Fs = µsN, where N is
reaction force acting on block A. Now, resolve the forces Fx = max. P = (mA +
mB)a,
6 = (20 / 32.2 + 50 / 32.2)a
2.173a = 6
A = 2.76 ft/s^2
To check slipping occurs between block A and block B, consider block A:
P – Ff = mAaA
6 – Ff = 1.71
Ff = 4.29 lb
And also,
N = wA. We know static friction,
Fs = µsN
Fs = 0.4 x 20
Fs = 8lb
Frictional force is less than static friction. Ff < Fs
<span>Therefors, acceleration of block A, aA = 2.76 ft/s^2, acceleration of
block B aB = 2.76 ft/s^2</span>
