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.

Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

It can only display one record at a time

Explanation:

Form ;

1. This is a document with spaces (also called  placeholders or fields ) in which a series of documents with similar content can be written or selected.

2.This is the most popular method of data entry

3.It may contain images in the background.

4.This can be sorted data regardless of its source of information.

Only option C is wrong.

Therefore the answer C is correct.

Light of wavelength 559 nm is used to illuminate normally two glass plates 22.1 cm in length that touch at one end and are separ
umka21 [38]

Answer:

M = 222 fringes

Explanation:

given

λ = 559 n m = 559 × 10⁻⁹ m

radius = 0.026 mm = 0.026 ×10⁻³ m

length of the glass plate = 22.1 ×10⁻² m

using relation

2t=(m+\dfrac{1}{2})\lambda\ \ (m=0,1,2,3...)\\where\ 0\leq t\leq 2r\\m = \dfrac{2t}{\lambda}-\dfrac{1}{2}

m_{max} = \dfrac{2\times 2r}{\lambda}-\dfrac{1}{2}\\m_{max} = \dfrac{2\times 2\times 0.026\times 10^{-3}}{559\times 10^{-9}}-\dfrac{1}{2}

 = 221.79  

 = 221 (approx.)

hence no of bright fringe

M = m + 1

   = 221 +1

M = 222 fringes

alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

r=6.05km/hr

z=59.1 degree to the horizontal

Explanation:

A bird is flying east at 5.2 kilometers/hour relative to the air. There's a crosswind blowing at 3.1 kilometers/hour toward the south relative to the ground. What is the bird's velocity relative to the ground? State your answer to one decimal place

can be solved using pythagoras theorem

r^2=o^2+a^2

r^2=5.2^2+3.1^2

r^2=36.65

r=6.1km/hr is te birds velocity relative to the ground

tanz=5.2/3.1

z=tan^-1(5,2/3.1)

z=59.1 degree to the horizontal
