Answer: $3.524(10)^{22}N$

Explanation:

According to Newton's law of Gravitation, the force $F$ exerted between two bodies of masses $m1$ and $m2$ and separated by a distance $r$ is equal to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance:

$F=G\frac{(m1)(m2)}{r^2}$ (1)

Where:

$G$ is the Gravitational Constant and its value is $6.674(10)^{-11}\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}}$

$m1=1.99(10)^{30}kg$ is the mass of the Sun

$m2=5.972(10)^{24}kg$ is the mass of the Earth

$r=1.50(10)^{11}m$ is the distance between the Sun and the Earth

Substituting the values in (1):

$F=6.674(10)^{-11}\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}}\frac{(1.99(10)^{30}kg)(5.972(10)^{24}kg)}{(1.50(10)^{11}m)^2}$ (2)

Finally:

$F=3.524(10)^{22}N$ This is the gravitational force acting on the earth due to the sun

The magnitude of the gravitational force : <u>3.48.10²² N</u>

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

Gravity is a force that arises because of the attraction between objects with mass.

The magnitude of this attraction is proportional to the mass of the object.

The greater the mass of the object, the greater the gravitational force

Relationships can both be stated in

Newton's Gravity Law:

$\rm F=G.\dfrac{m_1.m_2}{r^2}$

with F = gravitational force,

G = gravitational constant,

m1, m2 = mass of object,

r = distance between two objects.

From the available data:

m earth = 5.98.10²⁴ kg

m sun = 1.99.10³⁰ kg

r = 150 million km = 15.10⁷ km = 15.10¹⁰ m

G = 6.67.10⁻¹¹N.m² / kg²

We put in the formula:

$\rm F=6.67.10^{-11}.\dfrac{5.98.10^{24}.1.99.10^{30}}{(15.10^{10})^2}\\\\F=3.48.10^{22}\:N$

So <em>The earth exerts 3.48.10²² N of force on the sun, exactly the same amount of force the sun exerts on the earth</em>

How does the time at which you see things happen at a baseball game compare to the time when you hear things happen? Explain you

hoa [83]

Answer:

Because of the speed of the sound.

Explanation:

The first thing that happens in such cases is to take into account the speed of the sound. First, we see that the player hits the ball with the bat, if we are in the stands far enough we will hear the sound of the batting time later, this time depends on the speed of the sound which is equal to 345 [m/s].

Another visible and practical example is a fireworks display, where people nearby immediately hear the explosion. while those at a great distance will be able to see first the explosion followed by the sound.

With the following equation, we can calculate how long it takes to hear a hit or explosion

t = x / v

where:

x = distance [m]

v = sound velocity = 345 [m/s]

t = time [s]

An electron in a vacuum is first accelerated by a voltage of 51400 V and then enters a region in which there is a uniform magnet

zimovet [89]

Answer:

F = 8.6 10⁻¹² N

Explanation:

For this exercise we use the law of conservation of energy

Initial. Field energy with the electron at rest

Em₀ = U = q ΔV

Final. Electron with velocity, just out of the electric field

Emf = K = ½ m v²

Em₀ = Emf

e ΔV = ½ m v²

v =√ 2 e ΔV / m

v = √(2 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ 51400 / 9.1 10⁻³¹)

v = √(1.8075 10¹⁶)

v = 1,344 10⁸ m / s

Now we can use the equation of the magnetic force

F = q v x B

Since the speed and the magnetic field are perpendicular the force that

F = e v B

F = 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ 1.344 10⁸ 0.4

For this exercise we use the law of conservation of energy

Initial. Field energy with the electron at rest

Emo = U = q DV

Final. Electron with velocity, just out of the electric field

Emf = K = ½ m v2

Emo = Emf

.e DV = ½ m v2

.v = RA 2 e DV / m

.v = RA (2 1.6 10-19 51400 / 9.1 10-31)

.v = RA (1.8075 10 16)

.v = 1,344 108 m / s

Now we can use the equation of the magnetic force

F = q v x B

Since the speed and the magnetic field are perpendicular the force that

F = e v B

F = 1.6 10-19 1,344 108 0.4

F = 8.6 10-12 N

A friend in your class tells you that she never uses hints when doing her Mastering homework. She says that she finds the hints

AnnZ [28]

Answer:

A, B, and C are good reasons for my friend not to worry

Explanation:

The following reasons are reason not to worry

A. The only way to lose additional partial credit on a hint is by using the "give up" button or entering incorrect answers. Leaving the question blank will not cost you any credit (Regardless of whether you open a link or not, you will lose credit if you enter a wrong answer or if you give up on a question by hitting the "give up" button. Even after opening a hint, you can leave the question blank if the hint does not provide relevant hints or if the hint brings up more question. Once the question is left blank, you do not lose additional partial credit)

B. As an incentive for thinking hard about the problem, your instructor may choose to apply a small hint penalty, but this penalty is the same whether the hint simply gives information or asks another question (In a situation where you decide to use a hint, the instructor may have put a penalty for using the hint, so whether it asks a question or help in the solution of the question, as long as the hint is consulted, the hint penalty still applies)

C. Getting the correct answer to the question in a hint actually gives you some partial credit, even if you still can't answer the original question (An advantage of using hint is that you get some partial credit for using it if you answer the hint question correctly and fails to answer the original question)

What causes long sightedness?how is it corrected.

NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

Long sight occurs when the eyeball is too short or the lens is too thin, or both. As a result, light rays from near objects are focused behind the retina because the light rays are not converged enough. The image formed on the retina is therefore out of focus.

To correct this problem, people can wear glasses with convex lenses. Light rays from near objects are converged by the convex lenses before entering the eyes, so that light can be focused on the retina to form a sharp image. Additionally, long sight can also be corrected by surgical methods such as LASIK.
