Answer:

a)   M = 2,939  10¹⁷ kg , b)   M_{e} / M  = 2 10⁷

Explanation:

a) The equation for gravitational force is

         F = G m M / r²

Where G is the gravitational constant that is worth 6.67 10⁻¹¹ N m² / kg², m the mass epa person. M the mass of the Mountain and r the distance between them.

The value of this force is 2% of the person's weight

          F = 0.02 W = 0.02 mg

we replace

         0.02 mg = G m M / r²

         M = 0.02 g r² / G

         r = 10 km = 10 10³ m = 1.0 10⁴ m

         M = 0.02  9.8  (10⁴)² / 6.67 10⁻¹¹

         M = 2,939  10¹⁷ kg

b) to compare the masses we find their relationship

       M_{e} / M = 5.98 1024 / 2,939 1017

       M_{e} / M  = 2 10⁷

c) treating the mountain as a point object

d) The mountain is not spherical so the distance changes depending on the height of the mountain

madam [21]

Answer:

\frac{V}{T} = \frac{V'}{T'}

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Original volume = V

New volume = V'

Original temperature = T

New temperature = T'

To write an expression for Charles's law;

Charles states that when the pressure of an ideal gas is kept constant, the volume of the gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature of the gas.

Mathematically, Charles law is given by the formula;

\frac {V}{T} = K

\frac{V}{T} = \frac{V'}{T'}
