A planet exerts a gravitational force of magnitude 9e22 N on a star. If the planet were 2 times closer to the star (that is, if

the distance between the star and the planet were 1/2 what is is now), what would be the magnitude of the force on the star due to the planet?

To solve this problem we will use the related concepts in Newtonian laws that describe the force of gravitational attraction. We will use the given value and then we will obtain the proportion of the new force depending on the Radius. From there we will observe how much the force of attraction increases in the new distance.

Planet gravitational force

F_p = 6*10^{22}N

F_p = \frac{GMm}{R^2}

F_p = 9*10^{22}N

Distance between planet and star

r = \frac{R}{2}

Gravitational force is

F = \frac{GMm}{r^2}

Applying the new distance,

F = \frac{GMm}{(\frac{R}{2})^2}

F =  4\frac{GMm}{R^2}

Replacing with the previous force,

F = 4F_p

Replacing our values

F= 4(9*10^{22}N)

F = 36*10^{22}N

Therefore the magnitude of the force on the star due to the planet is  36*10^{22}N

A circuit breaker is rated for a current of 25 a rms at a voltage of 240 v rms. (a) what is the largest value of imax that the b
Mademuasel [1]

The largest value of current that the breaker can carry = Imax=35.4A

Explanation:

Rms value of current= Irms= 25 A

The rms current and the maximum current are related as

Imax= √2 Irms

Imax=√2 (25)

Imax=35.4 A

Thus the maximum current carried by the breaker= 35.4 A

A spherical conductor is inside a uniform electric field with a magnitude of 1000 N/C to the right. What is the magnitude and di
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

1.-E=1000N/C to the LEFT

2.-The electric field inside a conductor in electrostatic state is always zero (conductor proprieties).

3.-The voltmeter read 0V as differential voltage between two points from the conductor

Explanation:

1.The electric field inside the conductor must be zero (conductor proprieties). Then the charges create a electric field equal an opposite to the external electric field. In other words E=1000N/C to the LEFT

2. The electric field inside a conductor in electrostatic state is always zero. As shown in the figure the electric field induced by the charges in the sphere surface cancelled the EXTERN electric field.

3.If the Electric field inside the conductor is zero, that means that the Voltage in the hole conductor is constant (conductor proprieties). In other words the the voltmeter read 0v as differential voltage between two points from the conductor.

A parallel-plate capacitor has square plates that have edge length equal to 1.20×102cm and are separated by 1.00 mm. It is conne
lora16 [44]

Answer:

Energy stored in the capacitor will be 1.835\times 10^{-6}J

Explanation:

We have given edge length of capacitor = 1.2\times 10^2cm=1.2m

So area A = 1.2×1.2 = 1.44 m^2

Separation is given as d  1 mm = 10^{-3}m

We know that capacitance is given by C=\frac{\epsilon _0A}{d}=\frac{8.85\times 10^{-12}\times 1.44}{10^{-3}}=12.744\times 10^{-9}F

Voltage is given as V = 12 volt

We know that energy stored is given by E=\frac{1}{2}CV^2=\frac{1}{2}\times 12.744\times 10^{-9}\times 12^2=1.835\times 10^{-6}J
