At which point does the planet have the least gravitational force acting on it?

Answer:

Point A

Explanation:

Recall that gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the 2 objects.

This means that the farther away the objects are from each other, the lesser their gravitational interaction will be.

In this case we can see that Point A is furthest away from the star, hence this will be the location with the least gravitational force from the star.

Answer:

At which point does the planet have the least gravitational force acting on it?

Explanation:

In an elliptical orbit, when a planet is at its furthest point from the Sun, it is under the least amount of gravity, meaning that the force of gravity is strongest when it is closest.

One ring of radius a is uniformly charged with charge +Q and is placed so its axis is the x-axis. A second ring with charge –Q i

kati45 [8]

Answer:

The force exerted on an electron is $7.2\times10^{-18}\ N$

Explanation:

Given that,

Charge = 3 μC

Radius a=1 m

Distance = 5 m

We need to calculate the electric field at any point on the axis of a charged ring

Using formula of electric field

$E=\dfrac{kqx}{(a^2+x^2)^{\frac{3}{2}}}\hat{x}$

$E_{1}=\dfrac{kqx}{(a^2+x^2)^{\frac{3}{2}}}\hat{x}$

Put the value into the formula

$E_{1}=\dfrac{9\times10^{9}\times3\times10^{-6}\times5}{(1^2+5^2)^{\frac{3}{2}}}$

$E_{1}=1.0183\times10^{3}\ N/C$

Using formula of electric field again

$E_{2}=\dfrac{kqx}{(a^2+x^2)^{\frac{3}{2}}}\hat{x}$

Put the value into the formula

$E_{2}=\dfrac{9\times10^{9}\times(-3\times10^{-6})\times5}{((0.5)^2+5^2)^{\frac{3}{2}}}$

$E_{2}=-1.064\times10^{3}\ N/C$

We need to calculate the resultant electric field

Using formula of electric field

$E=E_{1}+E_{2}$

Put the value into the formula

$E=1.0183\times10^{3}-1.064\times10^{3}$

$E=-0.045\times10^{3}\ N/C$

We need to calculate the force exerted on an electron

Using formula of electric field

$E = \dfrac{F}{q}$

$F=E\times q$

Put the value into the formula

$F=-0.045\times10^{3}\times(-1.6\times10^{-19})$

$F=7.2\times10^{-18}\ N$

Hence, The force exerted on an electron is $7.2\times10^{-18}\ N$

When a high-energy proton or pion traveling near the speed of light collides with a nucleus, it may travel 2.5 x 10-15 m before

Tasya [4]

Explanation:

It is given that,

When a high-energy proton or pion traveling near the speed of light collides with a nucleus, $d=2.5\times 10^{-15}\ m$

Speed of light, $c=3\times 10^{8}\ m\s$

Let t is the time interval required for the strong interaction to occur. The speed is given by :

$c=\dfrac{d}{t}$

$t=\dfrac{d}{c}$

$t=\dfrac{2.5\times 10^{-15}\ m}{3\times 10^{8}\ m/s}$

$t=8.33\times 10^{-24}\ s$

So, the time interval required for the strong interaction to occur is $8.33\times 10^{-24}\ s$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

An old light bulb draws only 54.3 W, rather than its original 60.0 W, due to evaporative thinning of its filament. By what facto

Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

The factor of the diameter is 0.95.

Explanation:

Given that,

Power of old light bulb = 54.3 W

Power = 60 W

We know that,

The resistance is inversely proportional to the diameter.

$R\propto\dfrac{1}{D}$

The power is inversely proportional to the resistance.

$P\propto\dfrac{1}{R}$

$P\propto D^2$

We need to calculate the factor of the diameter of the filament reduced

Using relation of power and diameter

$\dfrac{P_{i}}{P_{f}}=\dfrac{D_{i}^2}{D_{f}^2}$

Put the value into the formula

$\dfrac{D_{i}^2}{D_{f}^2}=\dfrac{54.3}{60}$

$\dfrac{D_{i}}{D_{f}}=0.95$

$D_{i}=0.95 D_{f}$

Hence, The factor of the diameter is 0.95.

Please tell me if this is Newton's first law, second, or third law of motion. There can be more than one of the same answer very

AfilCa [17]

Answer: Hope This Helps!

Explanation:

1: Newton’s first law of motion can explain how a magician pulls a tablecloth from underneath the dishes. A negligible horizontal force is applied during the process. As per Newton’s first law of motion, the dishes and glasses remain in their state of motion (rest); as a result, they remain undisturbed.

2: Newton's First Law of Motion is defined as "An object at rest and an object in motion will stay in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force."In soccer, when the soccer ball is in the soccer field and it is not moving, that means that it is at rest and there is no force acting upon it. When there is a person that is ready to play soccer and wants to kick the ball and play, then the unbalanced force would be the power from the person's foot.

3: Newtons third law can explain, as the cannonball is pushed forwards by the expanding high-pressure gases created by the exploding gunpowder, it pushes back on these gases. The gases push back on the cannon itself, causing it to roll backwards. Alternative answer: the cannon pushes forward on the cannonball. the reaction force is the cannonball pushing backwards on the cannon.
