Formula of the gravitational force between two particles:

F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}

where

G=6.67 \cdot 10^{-11} Nm^2 kg^{-2} is the gravitational constant

m1 and m2 are the masses of the two particles

r is their distance


(a) particle A

The gravitational force exerted by particle B on particle A is

F_B=G\frac{m_A m_B}{r^2}=(6.67 \cdot 10^{-11}) \frac{(340 kg)(567 kg)}{(0.500 m)^2}=5.14 \cdot 10^{-5} N to the right

The gravitational force exerted by particle C on particle A is

F_C=G\frac{m_A m_C}{r^2}=(6.67 \cdot 10^{-11}) \frac{(340 kg)(139 kg)}{(0.500 m+0.250m)^2}=5.6 \cdot 10^{-6} N to the right

So the net gravitational force on particle A is

F_A = F_B + F_C =5.14 \cdot 10^{-5} N+5.6 \cdot 10^{-6} N=5.7 \cdot 10^{-5} N to the right


(b) Particle B

The gravitational force exerted by particle A on particle B is

F_A=G\frac{m_A m_B}{r^2}=(6.67 \cdot 10^{-11}) \frac{(340 kg)(567 kg)}{(0.500 m)^2}=-5.14 \cdot 10^{-5} N to the left

The gravitational force exerted by particle C on particle B is

F_C=G\frac{m_B m_C}{r^2}=(6.67 \cdot 10^{-11}) \frac{(567 kg)(139 kg)}{(0.250 m)^2}=8.41 \cdot 10^{-5} N to the right

So the net gravitational force on particle B is

F_B = F_A + F_C =-5.14 \cdot 10^{-5} N+8.41 \cdot 10^{-5} N=3.27 \cdot 10^{-5} N to the right


(c) Particle C

The gravitational force exerted by particle A on particle C is

F_A=G\frac{m_A m_C}{r^2}=(6.67 \cdot 10^{-11}) \frac{(340 kg)(139 kg)}{(0.500 m+0.250m)^2}=-5.6 \cdot 10^{-6} N to the left

The gravitational force exerted by particle B on particle C is

F_B=G\frac{m_B m_C}{r^2}=(6.67 \cdot 10^{-11}) \frac{(567 kg)(139 kg)}{(0.250 m)^2}=-8.41 \cdot 10^{-5} N to the left

So the net gravitational force on particle C is

F_C = F_B + F_A =-8.41 \cdot 10^{-5} N-5.6 \cdot 10^{-6} N=-8.97 \cdot 10^{-5} N to the left

A steel piano wire, of length 1.150 m and mass 4.80 g is stretched under a tension of 580.0 N.
kaheart [24]

A steel piano wire, of length 1.150 m and mass of 4.80 g is stretched under a tension of 580.0 N.the speed of transverse waves on the wire would be  372.77 m/s

<h3>What is a sound wave?</h3>

It is a particular variety of mechanical waves made up of the disruption brought on by the movements of the energy. In an elastic medium like the air, a sound wave travels through compression and rarefaction.

For calculating the wave velocity of the sound waves generated from the piano can be calculated by the formula

V= √F/μ

where v is the wave velocity of the wave travel on the string

F is the tension in the string of piano

μ is the mass per unit length of the string

As given in question a steel piano wire, of length 1.150 m and mass of 4.80 g is stretched under a tension of 580.0 N.

The μ is the mass per unit length of the string would be

μ = 4.80/(1.150×1000)

μ = 0.0041739 kg/m

By substituting the respective values of the tension on the string and the density(mass per unit length) in the above formula of the wave velocity

V= √F/μ

V=√(580/0.0041739)

V =  372.77 m/s

Thus,  the speed of transverse waves on the wire comes out to be  372.77 m/s

Which of the following are important biotic factors that can affect the structure and organization of biological communities?
umka21 [38]

Answer:

c. predation, competition, parasitism

Explanation:

The important and only biotic factors from the given choices that can affect the structure and organization of biological communities are predation, competition and parasitism.

These factors ensures that there are interaction between organisms of the same and different species and only occur in life.

Biotic factors are the living component of the ecosystem that dictates what happens therein.

  • Predation is an interaction between two organisms in which the predator, bigger organism feeds on the prey, smaller organism.
  • Competition occurs where two organism of the same or different species struggles for limited resources in the ecosystem.
  • Parasitism is an interaction where one organism feeds on the another and it causes harm to it. The organism feeding on another is called the parasite. And the one it is dependent on is the host.

All of these are biotic factors.
