What equal amounts of positive charge would have to be placed on the Earth and on the Moon to neutralize their gravitational att

raction? Do you need to know the Moon’s distance to solve this problem? Why or why not? (b) How many metric tons of hydrogen would be needed to provide the positive charge calculated in part (a)? The molar mass of hydrogen is 1.008 g/mol.

Answer:

Fg = G M m / R^2       gravitational attraction

Fe = k Q^2 / R^2       electric repulsion

G M m = k Q^2

Q = (G M m / k)^1/2

Since m = .0123 M

Q = (.0123 G / k)^1/2 * M

Q = (.0123 * 6.67 * 10E-11 / 9 * 10E9)^1/2 * 5.98 * 10E24

Q = 5.71 * 10E13 C       charge required on each body

n = 5.71 * 10E13 / 1.6 * 10E-19 = 3.57 * 10E32 atoms

N = 3.57 * 10E32 / 6.02 * 10E23  = 5.93 * 10E8 g-mol = 5.93 * 10E*5 kg-mol

Since 1 metric ton = 1000 kg

One would need 593 metric tons of hydrogen

A 40 g ball rolls around a 30 cm -diameter L-shaped track, shown in the figure, (Figure 1)at 60 rpm . What is the magnitude of t
levacccp [35]

Answer:

0.47 N

Explanation:

Here we have a ball in motion along a circular track.

For an object in circular motion, there is a force that "pulls" the object towards the centre of the circle, and this force is responsible for keeping the object in circular motion.

This force is called centripetal force, and its magnitude is given by:

F=m\omega^2 r

where

m is the mass of the object

\omega is the angular velocity

r is the radius of the circle

For the ball in this problem we have:

m = 40 g = 0.04 kg is the mass of the ball

\omega =60 rpm \cdot \frac{2\pi rad/rev}{60 s/min}=6.28 rad/s is the angular velocity

r = 30 cm = 0.30 m is the radius of the circle

Substituting, we find the force:

F=(0.040)(6.28)^2(0.30)=0.47 N

The trade winds are tropical winds that blow toward the Equator. Choose the statement that best explains why the trade winds blo
AveGali [126]

The best and most correct answer among the choices provided by your question is the fourth option or letter D. Trade winds blow towards the equator because t<span>he Equator receives the most heat energy.

</span>The surface air that flows from these subtropical high-pressure belts toward the Equator is deflected toward the west in both hemispheres by the Coriolis effect. These winds blow<span> predominantly from the northeast in the Northern Hemisphere and from the southeast in the Southern Hemisphere.

I hope my answer has come to your help. Thank you for posting your question here in Brainly.

At the surface, atmospheric pressure is 1.013 × 10^5 Pa. People can normally snorkel down to a depth of roughly one meter. What
natulia [17]

Answer:

1.01 × 10⁵ Pa  

Explanation:

At the surface, atmospheric pressure is 1.013 × 10⁵ Pa.

We need to find the total pressure on the air in the lungs of a person to a depth of 1 meter.

Pressure at a depth is given by :

P=\rho gh

Where

\rho is the density of air, \rho=1.225\ kg/m^3

So,

P=1.225\times 9.8\times 1\\\\=12\ Pa

Total pressure, P = Atmospheric pressure + 12 Pa

= 1.013 × 10⁵ Pa + 12 Pa

= 1.01 × 10⁵ Pa

Hence, the total pressure is 1.01 × 10⁵ Pa.

A train moves with a constant velocity for 15s for 155m. How fast is the train moving?
bonufazy [111]

Answer: 10.3m/s

Explanation:

In theory and for a constant velocity the physics expression states that:

Eq(1):  distance  = velocity times time <=> d = v*t    for v=constant.

If we solve Eq (1) for the velocity (v) we obtain:

Eq(2):  velocity  = distance divided by time <=> v = d/t

Substituting the known values for t=15s and d=155m we get:

v = 155 / 15 <=> v = 10.3
