Answer:

x=\dfrac{D}{1+\sqrt{\dfrac{m}{M}}}

Explanation:

Mass of moon = m

Mass of planet =M

We know that gravitational force given as

F=G\dfrac{m_1m_2}{d^2}

F'=G\dfrac{m'M}{x^2}

F=G\dfrac{m'm}{(D-x)^2}

Given that force is zero so

F=F'

G\dfrac{m'm}{(D-x)^2}=G\dfrac{m'M}{x^2}

\dfrac{m}{(D-x)^2}=\dfrac{M}{x^2}

\dfrac{x}{D-x}=\sqrt{\dfrac{M}{m}}

\dfrac{D-x}{x}=\sqrt{\dfrac{m}{M}}

x=\dfrac{D}{1+\sqrt{\dfrac{m}{M}}}

How many board feet of lumber are needed assuming 200 lin. Ft. of 2""x 6"" lumber a. 12 b. 16.67 c. 120 d. 200
Svetach [21]

Answer:

B) 16.67

Explanation:

If the dimension of one lumber is 2" × 6", the total area of one lumber will be 12inch²

If the total board feet of lumber there is 200in, therefore the total board of lumber that will be needed is 200/12 which gives 16.67 lumbers

If the voltage across the first capacitor (the one with capacitance
RoseWind [281]
The answer to this question is: it depends. It depends on the arrangement of the capacitors in a circuit: it can be either in series or in parallel. The difference is shown in the picture. 

Capacitors are like batteries in a way that they store power from the source. It has some rules depending on the type of circuit. For parallel circuits, the voltage across each capacitor is equal. Therefore, V₁=V₂=V₃.

On the other hand, if the capacitors are arranged in series, the voltage across each capacitor should add up to the total voltage of the source. Therefore, V₁+V₂+V₃ = Total Voltage.

The velocity versus time graph of particle A is tangent to the velocity versus time graph for particle B at point O. What is the
Fudgin [204]

Answer: C. -1.16 meters/second2

Explanation:

A= v/t (velocity/time)

in this case: v=7 and t=6

So, A= 7/6

A=1.16

The graph is decreasing so accelleration would be negative

A= <u>-1.16 meters/second2</u>

<u>Option C!</u> ; )

Suppose a ball is dropped from shoulder height, falls, makes a perfectly elastic collision with the floor, and rebounds to shoul
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:Same magnitude

Explanation:

When ball is dropped from shoulder height h then velocity at the bottom is given by

v_1=\sqrt{2gh}

if it makes elastic collision then it will acquire the same velocity and riser up to the same height

If m is the mass of ball then impulse imparted is given by

J=m(v_2-v_1)

J=2m\sqrt{2gh}

Thus impulse imparted by gravity and Floor will have same magnitude of impulse but direction will be opposite to each other.
