Calculate the force of gravity on a 1–kilogram box located at a point 1.3 × 107 meters from the center of Earth if the force on

a 2.5–kilogram box at the same point is 6.1 newtons.

Since you already gave us the weight of the 2.5-kg box,
we don't even need to know what the distance is, just
as long as it doesn't change.

Look at the formula for the gravitational force:

F = G m₁ m₂ / R² .

If 'G', 'm₁' (mass of the Earth), and 'R' (distance from the Earth's center)
don't change, then the Force is proportional to m₂ ... mass of the box,
and you can write a simple proportion:

(6.1 N) / (2.5 kg) = (F) / (1 kg)

Cross-multiply: (6.1 N) (1 kg) = (F) (2.5 kg)

Divide each side by (2.5 kg): F = (6.1N) x (1 kg) / (2.5 kg) = 2.44 N .

As more lamps are put into a series circuit, the overall current in the power sourceA) increases.B) decreases.C) stays the same.

Nikolay [14]

As more and more lamps are connected in parallel (and if the current does not produce heating inside the battery) their brightness stays the same. Each lamp has the same voltage across it. Each lamp added in parallel decreases the total resistance in the circuit, so additional current flows.

Reasons<br> why using mirrors to generate electricity is not a common practice.

olganol [36]

A big part of the reason that mirrors are seldom if ever used to generate
electricity is the simple fact that there is no way to generate electricity using
mirrors. They are as useless for the purpose as smoke is, although there are
those who have used both items simultaneously to create the impression that
they have succeeded in that attempt.

At the intersection of Texas Avenue and University Drive,

Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

The initial speed of the truck is 21.93 m/s, and the initial speed of the car is 19.524 m/s

Explanation:

We can use conservation of momentum to find the initial velocities.

Taking the unit vector $\hat{i}$ pointing north and $\hat{j}$ pointing east, the final velocity will be

$\vec{V}_f = 16.0 \frac{m}{s} \ ( \ cos(24.0 \°) \ , \ sin (24.0 \°) \ )$

$\vec{V}_f = ( \ 14.617 \frac{m}{s} \ , \ 6.508 \frac{m}{s} \ )$

The final linear momentum will be:

$\vec{P}_f = (m_{car}+ m_{truck}) * V_f$

$\vec{P}_f = (950 \ kg \ + 1900 \ kg \ ) * ( \ 14.617 \frac{m}{s} \ , \ 6.508 \frac{m}{s} \ )$

$\vec{P}_f = (2.850 \ kg \ ) * ( \ 14.617 \frac{m}{s} \ , \ 6.508 \frac{m}{s} \ )$

$\vec{P}_f = ( \ 41,658.45 \frac{ kg \ m}{s} \ , \ 18,547.8 \frac{kg \ m}{s} \ )$

As there are not external forces, the total linear momentum must be constant.

So:

$\vec{P}_0= \vec{P}_f$

As initially the car is travelling east, and the truck is travelling north, the initial linear momentum must be

$\vec{P}_0= ( m_{truck} * v_{truck}, m_{car}* v_{car} )$

so:

$\vec{P}_0= \vec{P}_f$

$( m_{truck} * v_{truck}, m_{car}* v_{car} ) = ( \ 41,658.45 \frac{ kg \ m}{s} \ , \ 18,547.8 \frac{kg \ m}{s} \ )$

so

$\left \{ {{m_{truck} \ v_{truck} = 41,658.45 \frac{ kg \ m}{s} } \atop {m_{car} \ v_{car}=18,547.8 \frac{kg \ m}{s} }} \right.$

So, for the truck

$m_{truck} \ v_{truck} = 41,658.45 \frac{ kg \ m}{s}$

$1900 \ kg \ v_{truck} = 41,658.45 \frac{ kg \ m}{s}$

$v_{truck} = \frac{41,658.45 \frac{ kg \ m}{s}}{1900 \ kg}$

$v_{truck} = \frac{41,658.45 \frac{ kg \ m}{s}}{1900 \ kg}$

$v_{truck} = 21.93 \frac{m}{s}$

And, for the car

$950 \ kg \ v_{car}=18,547.8 \frac{kg \ m}{s}$

$v_{car}=\frac{18,547.8 \frac{kg \ m}{s}}{950 \ kg}$

$v_{car}=19.524 \frac{m}{s}$
