What would be the weight of the moon if it were resting on the surface of the earth
kari74 [83]
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".

Which one of the following energy conversion devices has the lowest energy efficiency?
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

A) incandescent ligth bulb, its efficiency is about 10%

Explanation:

The incandescent bulb, that is, the well-known focus with its warm light, was one of the most useful inventions of the 19th century although its use is currently considered very inefficient. These lamps waste between 80 and 90 percent of the total electricity they consume by turning it into heat. The metal filament thus heated and which is the central part of the bulb, only converts the remaining energy into light. Its service life ranges from 750 to 1,000 hours.

This is why they are used in ovens for food preparation, because of the large amount of heat they generate.

The steam boiler in a power plant depends on the fuel that it is using, but a coal-fired power plant with modern technology its efficiency is about 40%

Electric motor are around 85-92%

In order to better understand the concept of efficiency it is as if we pay 100 dollars of gasoline for our weekly use, but of that 100 dollars the car only uses 10 dollars to do that activity the rest of the money the 90 dollars were lost because of the inefficiencies of the vehicle.

A flexible shaft consists of a 3 mm diameter steel wire in a flexible hollow tube which imposes a frictional torque of 0.04 N m
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

2.5m

Explanation:

Torque is defined as the rotational effect of a force on a body.

The torque T for the maximum shear stress is given as 0.1 Nm

Frictional torque is the torque caused by a frictional force

The frictional torque F is given as 0.04 Nm/m

The maximum length of the shaft is thus given as

L = T / F

  = 0.1/0.04

L= 2.5 m
