Astrology, that unlikely and vague pseudoscience, makes much of the position of the planets at the moment of one’s birth. The on

ly known force that a planet could exerts on us is gravitational, so if there is anything to astrology we should expect this force to be significant.
(a) Calculate the gravitational force exerted on a 4.20-kg baby by a 100-kg father 0.200 m away at birth (he is assisting, so he is close to the child).

(b) Calculate the force on the baby due to Jupiter if it is at its closest distance to Earth, some
6.29×1011m
away. How does the force of Jupiter on the baby compare to the force of the father on the baby? Other objects in the room and the hospital building also exert similar gravitational forces. (Of course, there could be an unknown force acting, but scientists first need to be convinced that there is even an effect, much less that an unknown force causes it.)

Answer:

F_f=7.0035\times 10^{-7}\ N

F_j=8.45\times 10^{-6}\ N

Explanation:

(a)

  • mass of baby, m_b=4.2\ kg
  • mass of father, m_f=100\ kg
  • distance between father and baby, d=0.2\ m

<u>Now, the gravitational force on baby due to father:</u>

F_f=G \frac{m_b.m_f}{d^2}

F_f=6.67\times 10^{-11}\times \frac{4.2\times 100}{0.2^2}

F_f=7.0035\times 10^{-7}\ N

(b)

  • distance between baby and Jupiter, r=6.29\times 10^{11}\ m
  • We have mass of Jupiter, m_j=1.898\times 10^{27}\ kg

<u>Now, the gravitational force on baby due to planet Jupiter:</u>

F_j=G \frac{m_b.m_j}{r^2}

F_j=6.67\times 10^{-11}\times \frac{4.2\times 1.898\times 10^{27}}{(6.29\times 10^{11})^2}

F_j=8.45\times 10^{-6}\ N

We find that the gravitational force due to Jupiter is considerably greater than the force due to mass of father.

What kind of waves are present during an earthquake? ...
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

1. The two main types of waves are body waves and surface waves. Body waves can travel through the earth's inner layers, but surface waves can only move along the surface of the planet like ripples on water. Earthquakes radiate seismic energy as both body and surface waves.

2. potential energy

3. Newton's second law of motion is F = ma, or force is equal to mass times acceleration.

4. Refraction is the bending of light

5. Density uses the formula p=m/V, or density (p) is equal to mass (m) divided by volume (V). Density is defined as mass per unit volume.

A uniform electric field is directed parallel to the +y axis. If a positive test charge begins at the origin and moves upward al
lukranit [14]

Answer: option 1 : the electric potential will decrease with an increase in y

Explanation: The electric potential (V) is related to distance (in this case y) by the formulae below

V = kq/y

Where k = 1/4πε0

Where V = electric potential,

k = electric constant = 9×10^9,

y = distance of potential relative to a reference point, ε0 = permittivity of free space

q = magnitude of electronic charge = 1.609×10^-19 c

From the formulae, we can see that q and k are constants, only potential (V) and distance (y) are variables.

We have that

V = k/y

We see the potential(V) is inversely proportional to distance (y).

This implies that an increase in distance results to a decreasing potential and a decrease in distance results to an increase in potential.

This fact makes option 1 the correct answer
