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>

A wire is used as a heating element that has a resistance that is fairly independent of its temperature within its operating ran
dedylja [7]

Answer:

Double the current

Explanation:

The energy delivered by the heater is related to the current by the following relation:

E= I^{2}R t

let R * t = k ( ∴ R and t both are constant)

so E= k I^{2}

Now let:

E2= k I₂^2

E2= 4E

⇒ k I₂^2= 4* k I^{2}

Cancel same terms on both sides.

I₂^2= 4* I^{2}

taking square-root on both sides.

√I₂^2 = √4* I^2

⇒I₂= 2I

If we double the current the energy delivered each minute be 4E.

How are wave properties and energy related?<br> EXPLAIN
dexar [7]

Answer:

The higher the amplitude, the higher the energy. To summarise, waves carry energy. The amount of energy they carry is related to their frequency and their amplitude. The higher the frequency, the more energy, and the higher the amplitude, the more energy.

Wire sizes are often reported using the AWG (American Wire Gauge) system in which smaller diameter wires are said to be of highe
NISA [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

24 - gauge wire , diameter = .51 mm .

Resistivity of copper ρ = 1.72 x 10⁻⁸ ohm-m

R = ρ l / s

1.72x 10⁻⁸ / [3.14 x( .51/2)² x 10⁻⁶ ]

= 8.42 x 10⁻² ohm

= .084 ohm

B )  Current required through this wire

= 12 / .084 A

= 142.85 A

C )

Let required length be l

resistance = .084 l

2 = 12 / .084 l

l = 12 / (2 x .084)

= 71.42 m
