Answer:

24 miles

Explanation:

Make a proportion

He is traveling at a constant rate of 12 miles/hour, so

he can go 12 miles in 1 hour, and x miles in 2 hours

12/1=x/2

Multiply both sides by 2

2*12/1=x/2 *2

24=x

So, in 2 hours he can travel 24 miles

Calculate the force of gravity between planet X and planet y if both planets are 3.75 X 10^11 m apart, planet X has a mass of 1.

GenaCL600 [577]

So, the force of gravity that the asteroid and the planet have on each other approximately $\boxed{\sf{2.9 \times 10^{17} \: N}}$

<h3>Introduction</h3>

Hi ! Now, I will help to discuss about the gravitational force between two objects. The force of gravity is not affected by the radius of an object, but radius between two object. Moreover, if the object is a planet, the radius of the planet is only to calculate the "gravitational acceleration" on the planet itself,does not determine the gravitational force between the two planets. For the gravitational force between two objects, it can be calculated using the following formula :

$\boxed{\sf{\bold{F = G \times \frac{m_1 \times m_2}{r^2}}}}$

With the following condition :

F = gravitational force (N)
G = gravity constant ≈ $\sf{6.67 \times 10^{-11}}$ N.m²/kg²
$\sf{m_1}$ = mass of the first object (kg)
$\sf{m_2}$ = mass of the second object (kg)
r = distance between two objects (m)

<h3>Problem Solving</h3>

We know that :

G = gravity constant ≈ $\sf{6.67 \times 10^{-11}}$ N.m²/kg²
$\sf{m_X}$ = mass of the planet X = $\sf{1.55 \times 10^{22}}$ kg.
$\sf{m_Y}$ = mass of the planet Y = $\sf{3.95 \times 10^{28}}$ kg.
r = distance between two objects = $\sf{3.75 \times 10^{11}}$ m.

What was asked :

F = gravitational force = ... N

Step by step :

$\sf{F = G \times \frac{m_X \times m_Y}{r^2}}$

$\sf{F = 6.67 \cdot 10^{-11} \times \frac{1.55 \cdot 10^{22} \cdot 3.95 \times 10^{28}}{(3.75 \times 10^{11})^2}}$

$\sf{F \approx \frac{40.84 \times 10^{-11 + 22 + 28}}{14.0625 \times 10^{22}}}$

$\sf{F \approx 2.9 \times 10^{39 - 22}}$

$\sf{F \approx 2.9 \times 10^{17} \: N}$

<h3>Conclusion</h3>

So, the force of gravity that the asteroid and the planet have on each other approximately

$\boxed{\sf{2.9 \times 10^{17} \: N}}$

In 1.71 minutes, a ski lift raises four skiers at constant speed to a height of 148 m. The average mass of each skier is 62.9 kg

Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

3560.36 Watts

Explanation:

Power, $P=\frac {nΔW}{Δt)$ where P is power, n is the number of skiers, t is time in seconds and Δt is change in time, ΔW is given by mgh where m is mass, g is gravitational constant, h is height

Substituting n for 4 skiers, m for 62.9 Kg, g for 9.81, h for 148 m and t for 1.71*60=102.6 seconds

P= $\frac {4*62.9*9.81*148}{1.71*60}=3560.360702 Watts$

Average power is approximately 3560.36 Watts

A passenger on a Ferris wheel moves in a vertical circle at a constant speed. Are the forces on her balanced?

vovikov84 [41]

C. The force is a constant change, because her position on the Ferris wheel will constantly change. I believe this is the answer, but use sources to double check. I might use different vocab. then your teachers.

A museum curator moves artifacts into place on various different display surfaces. If the curator moves a 145 kg aluminum sculpt

NikAS [45]

We are given the mass of an <span>aluminum sculpture which is 145 kg and a horizontal force equal to 668 Newtons. The coefficient of friction can be determined by dividing the horizontal force by the weight of the object. In this case, 668 N / 145 * 9.8 equal to coeff of friction of 0.47</span>
