Answer: 9.9999872 C

Explanation: In to answer this question we have to use the charge of the electron, that is eqaul to -1.6*10^-19 C.

After that, we have to calculate the charge given by 8.0*10^13 electrons, then we an additional charge of: 8.0*10^13 * -1,6*10^-19 C=1.28*10^-5C

Finally the net charge of the metal sphere, initially charged by +10C is:

10C-1.28*10^-5C=9.9999872 C

A raindrop has a mass of 7.7 × 10-7 kg and is falling near the surface of the earth. Calculate the magnitude of the gravitationa

goldfiish [28.3K]

Given that the mass of the raindrop is

$m=7.7\times10^{-7}\text{ kg}$

The acceleration due to gravity is g = 9.81 m/s^2

We have to find

(a) Magnitude of the gravitational force exerted on the raindrop by earth

(b)Magnitude of the gravitational force exerted on the earth by the raindrop

(a) The formula to calculate the magnitude of the gravitational force exerted on the raindrop by the earth is

$F=mg$

Substituting the values, the gravitational force exerted on the raindrop by the earth is

$\begin{gathered} F=7.7\times10^{-7}\times9.81 \\ =7.55\times10^{-6}\text{ N} \end{gathered}$

(b) According to Newton's third law,

If F' is the gravitational force exerted on the earth by the raindrop, then

$F=-F^{\prime}$

Here, the negative sign indicates that both forces act in opposite direction.

The gravitational force exerted on the earth by the raindrop is

$F^{\prime}\text{ = -7.55}\times10^{-6}\text{ N}$

And the magnitude of the gravitational force exerted on the earth by the raindrop is

$7.55\times10^{-6}\text{ N}$

Thus, the magnitude of both forces is equal.

Answer:

Explanation:

Look at the equation for Potential Energy. PE = mass times gravity times the height. Filling in and solving for h:

34.3 = .5(9.8)h so

34.3 = 4.9h so

h = 7 meters

The moon doesn't fall to earth because of it's friction?

TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

The Moon does not fall towards Earth right now because Earth rotates itself. The energy from the Earth's own rotation around its axis is gradually tranferred into energy of the Moon's orbital motion. That's why the Earth's rotating speed decreases but the distance to the Moon increases.
