If you were to calculate the pull of the Sun on the Earth and the pull of the Moon on the Earth, you would undoubtedly find that

the Sun's pull is much stronger than that of the Moon, yet the Moon's pull is the primary cause of tides on the Earth. Tides exist because of the difference in the gravitational pull of a body (Sun or Moon) on opposite sides of the Earth. Even though the Sun's pull is stronger, the difference between the pull on the near and far sides is greater for the Moon.
Required:
a. "Let F(r) be the gravitational force exerted on one mass by a second mass a distance r away. Calculate dF(r)/dr to show how F changes as r is changed.
b. Evaluate this expression for dF(r) jdr for the force of the Sun at the Earth's center and for the Moon at the Earth's center.
c. Suppose the Earth-Moon distance remains the same, but the Earth is moved closer to the Sun. Is there any point where dF(r)/dr for the two forces has the same value?

How long will it take an object to hit the ground if dropped from 100 meters
mash [69]

Answer:

The answer depends on what object you are dropping. Are you dropping a balloon or a car? (I'm joking 'bout that one.) If the mass of the object is very little, then it might drop slower. If the mass is bigger, then it might drop faster.

Good luck!

A neutron at rest decays (breaks up) to a proton and an electron. Energy is released in the decay and appears as kinetic energy
SashulF [63]

Answer:

5.444\times 10^{-4}

Explanation:

The momentum of the neutron before and after the decay  is the same since there's no external force.

P_{sys}=const\\\\P=mv\\\\K=0.5mv^2

#The neutron is initially at rest, so after the decay:

P_A+P_B=0\\\\P_A=-P_B

#After decay, the proton has +ve direction  with a velocity v_Awhile the electron moves in a negative direction with a velocity v_B

Therefore:

P_A=m_Av_A, P_B=m_Bv_B\\\\\therefore m_Av_A,=m_Bv_B

Let the energy released during the decay be Q:

Q=K_{tot}=K_A+K_B\\\\Q=K_A+0.5m_Bv_B^2\\\\Q=K_A+0.5m_B(\frac{m_A}{m_B})^2v_A^2\\\\\ But \ K_A=0.5m_Av_A^2\\\\\therefore Q=K_A+\frac{m_A}{m_B}K_A=K_A(1+\frac{m_A}{m_B})\\\\=Q=\frac{m_A+m_B}{m_B}K_A\\\\m_A=1836m_B\\\\\frac{K_A}{Q}=\frac{m_B}{1836m_B+m_B}=\frac{1}{1837}\\\\\frac{K_A}{Q}=5.444\times10^{-4}

Hence,Kp/Ktot is 5.444x10^(-4)

You drop an ice cube into an insulated bottle full of water and wait for the ice cube to completely melt. The ice cube initially
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

T_{f}  = 17º C

Explanation:

This is a calorimetry problem, where heat is yielded by liquid water, this heat is used first to melt all ice, let's look for the necessary heat (Q1)  

Let's reduce the magnitudes to the SI system  

      Ice m = 80.0 g (1 kg / 1000 g) = 0.080 kg  

            L = 3.33 105 J / kg  

Water  M = 860 g = 0.860 kg  

           c_{e} = 4186 J / kg ºC

    Q₁ = m L  

     Q₁ = 0.080 3.33 10⁵

     Q₁ = 2,664 10⁴ J

Now let's see what this liquid water temperature is when this heat is released  

      Q = M c_{e} ΔT = M c_{e} (T₀₁ -T_{f1})  

      Q₁ = Q  

     T_{f1} = T₀₁ - Q / M ce  

     T_{f1} = 26.0 - 2,664 10⁴ / (0.860 4186)  

     T_{f1} = 26.0 - 7.40  

     T_{f1} = 18.6 ° C  

The initial temperature of water that has just melted is T₀₂ = 0ª  

The initial temperature of the liquid water is T₀₁= 18.6  

     m c_{e} T_{f} + M c_{e} T_{1} = M c_{e} T₀₁ - m c_{e} T₀₂o2  

         T_{f} = (M To1 - m To2) / (m + M)  

         T_{f} = (0.860 18.6 - 0.080 0) / (0.080 + 0.860)  

T_{f} = 17º C
