Answer:

-Reduce the mass of the earth to one-fourth its normal value.

-Reduce the mass of the sun to one-fourth its normal value.

-Reduce the mass of the earth to one-half its normal value and the mass of the sun to one-half its normal value.

Explanation:

The force (F) between two massive bodies (earth-sun system) is given by the following equation:

F=\frac{g*M_{e}*M_{s}}{r^{2}}

Where "g" is the gravitational constant "Me" is Earth's mass, "Ms" is the Sun's mass and "r" is the separation between the Earth and the Sun.

1-) If we reduce the mass of the earth to one-fourth its normal value:

F^{*} =\frac{g*\frac{M_{e}}{4} *M_{s}}{r^{2}}\\F^{*} =\frac{g*{M_{e}} *M_{s}}{4r^{2}}\\F^{*} =\frac{F}{4}

2-) Reduce the mass of the sun to one-fourth its normal value.

F^{*} =\frac{g*\frac{M_{s}}{4} *M_{e}}{r^{2}}\\F^{*} =\frac{g*{M_{s}} *M_{e}}{4r^{2}}\\F^{*} =\frac{F}{4}

3-) Reduce the mass of the earth to one-half its normal value and the mass of the sun to one-half its normal value.

F^{*} =\frac{g*\frac{M_{s}}{2}*\frac{M_{e} }{2}}{r^{2}}\\F^{*} =\frac{g*{M_{s}} *M_{e}}{(2*2)r^{2}}\\F^{*} =\frac{F}{4}

4-) Increase the separation between the earth and the sun to four times its normal value.

F^{*}=\frac{g*M_{e}*M_{s}}{(4r)^{2}}\\F^{*}=\frac{g*M_{e}*M_{s}}{16r^{2}}\\F^{*}=\frac{F }{16}\\.

Therefore, changes 1, 2 and 3 would reduce the magnitude of the force between them to one-fourth of the original value.

How much power will be required to force a current of 4.13 amps to flow through a conductor whose resistance is 113 ohms? Use tw
-Dominant- [34]

The power required to force the current of 4.13 A to flow through the conductor is 1927.43 watts

<h3>What is power? </h3>

This is defined as the rate in which energy is consumed. Electrical power is expressed mathematically as:

Power (P) = square current (I²)× resistancet (R)

P = I²R

<h3>How to determine the power</h3>
  • Current (I) = 4.13 A
  • Resistance (R) = 113 ohms
  • Power (P) =?

P = I²R

P = 4.13² × 113

P = 1927.43 watts

Thus, the power required is 1927.43 watts

What is the mechanical advantage of a pulley system​
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

Pulleys accomplish 2 separate operations throughout the computer controlled additional benefit technologies listed elsewhere here.

Explanation:

  • If indeed the pulley would be connected to that same attachment point, these are named a corrected pendulum or perhaps a change in direction. Its job should be to reverse the trajectory of that same rope pull.  
  • Unless the pulley would be connected to that same load, this same pulley seems to be a detachable as well as a mechanical additional benefit.

stepan [7]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Analytical people are less responsive to others. They hence tend to focus more on work than people and are less interested in leading, being happier to work by themselves. They may be prudent and systematic, making them good at analytic work.

Some character traits of Analytical people

Focuses on work and working more than people

Likes to be correct and will take time to ensure this

Thoughtful, careful fact-oriented and precise

Good at problem-solving

Likes organization and structure

Avoids working in a group, preferring to work alone

Can be over-critical and unresponsive

Cautious in decision-making

When stressed may withdraw or become headstrong
