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>

Answer:

Explanation:In Mendel's time, many people thought that offspring inherited a combination of traits from their parents. For example, they thought that an animal with white fur and an animal with black fur would produce pups with gray fur. This is called the theory of combined inheritance. How did Mendel show that the combination theory was wrong?

How is artificial gravity created in spaceships and sattelites ?????? U need some IQ for this
goldfiish [28.3K]

Explanation:

Artificial gravity can be created using a centripetal force. A centripetal force directed towards the center of the turn is required for any object to move in a circular path. In the context of a rotating space station it is the normal force provided by the spacecraft's hull that acts as centripetal force.

Hope it helps.

An average human weighs about 600 N
NemiM [27]

Answer:

The distance between them, x = 5809.47 m

Explanation:

Given,

The average weight of a human, w = 600 N

The charge carried by the humans, q = 1.5 C

If 600 N of force acts between two opposite charges, the distance between the charges can be derived from the Coulomb's laws of force,

                          <em>F=\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{0}}\frac{qq}{x^{2}}</em>

Where,

                         \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{0}} = 9 x 10⁹ N m² C⁻²

Therefore

                          x² = 9 x 10⁹ X 1.5² / 600

                              = 33750000

                           x = 5809.46 m

Hence, the distance between the humans should be, x = 5809.47 m

PLEASE ANSWER, 75 PTS, AND BRANLIEST!
n200080 [17]

Answer:

An electromagnet is a device which moving electric charges(current) in a coil of wire create a magnet. Electromagnets can easily be turned off and on because it is a electromagnet. When current flows through a wire, a magnetic field is produced around a wire and create an electromagnet. The coils are always made of copper wire because copper is a good conductor of electricity.

The sides of a rectangle are 6.01 meters and 12 meters. Taking the significant figures into account, what is the area of the rec
Contact [7]
Taking significant figures into account, 6.01 has 3 significant figures, and 12 meters has 2. In the rule of multiplication, the answer has to follow the least number of significant figures. This means that the answer we obtain must have only 2 significant figures. To find the area of the rectangle, the two sides are merely multiplied. This is shown below:

6.01 * 12 = 72.12 = 72

Therefore, the area is 72 sq. meters
