Answer:

The magnitude of the gravitational force acting on the lander on the surface of Mars is 512.46 N.

Explanation:

The Universal law of gravity is define as:

F = G \frac{M.m}{R^{2}}  (1)

Where F is the gravitational force, G is gravitational constant, M is the mass of Mars, m is the mass of the lander and R is the radius of Mars.

Before replacing the values in equation 1 it is necessary to express the radius of mars in terms of meters:

R = 3397 kmx\frac{1000 m}{1 km} ⇒ R = 3397000 m

Finally, equation 1 can be used:

F = (6.67x10^{-11} N.m^{2}/Kg^{2}) \frac{(6.42x10^{23} kg)(138.1 kg)}{(3397000 m)^{2}}

F = 512.46 N

Hence, the magnitude of the gravitational force acting on the lander on the surface of Mars is 512.46 N.

How many turns are in its secondary coil, if its input voltage is 120 V and the primary coil has 210 turns
Tasya [4]

Complete Question

How many turns are in its secondary coil, if its input voltage is 120 V and the primary coil has 210 turns.

The output from the secondary coil is  12 V

Answer:

The value  is  N_s  =  21 \  turns

Explanation:

From the equation we are told that

   The input voltage is  V_{in}  = 120 \ V

   The number of turns of the primary coil is N_p =  210 \  turn

    The output from the secondary is V_o =  12V

From the transformer equation

   \frac{N_p}{V_{in}}  =\frac{N_s}{V_o}

Here N_s is the number of turns in the secondary coil

=> N_s  =  \frac{N_p}{V_{in}}  *  V_s

=>N_s  =  \frac{210}{120}  *  12

=>N_s  =  21 \  turns

An object glides on a horizontal tabletop with a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.5. If its initial velocity is 4.3 m/s, how
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

Time, t = 0.87 seconds

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial velocity of the object, u = 4.3 m/s

The coefficient of kinetic friction between horizontal tabletop and the object is 0.5

We need to find the time taken by the object for the object to come to rest i.e. final velocity will be 0.

Using first equation of motion to find it as :

v=u+at

a is the acceleration, here, a=\mu g

0=u+\mu gt

t=\dfrac{u}{\mu g}\\\\t=\dfrac{4.3}{0.5\times 9.8}\\\\t=0.87\ s

So, the time taken by the object to come at rest is 0.87 seconds. Hence, this is the required solution.

Change of 5000 c flows through a circuit in one hour. what is the current intensity?​
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

I = 1.38 A

Explanation:

Given that,

Charge, q = 5000 C

Time, t = 1 hour = 3600 s

We need to find the current intensity. The current intensity is equal to the electric charge per unit time. It can be given by :

I=\dfrac{q}{t}

Substitute all the values in the above formula

I=\dfrac{5000\ C}{3600\ s}\\\\=1.38\ A

So, the current intensity is 1.38 A.

Explain how you think humans have disrupted the nitrogen cycle HELP QUICK DUE APRIL 15TH ANYBODY
mina [271]

Answer:

Scientists have determined that humans are disrupting the nitrogen cycle by altering the amount of nitrogen that is stored in the biosphere. The chief culprit is fossil fuel combustion, which releases nitric oxides into the air that combine with other elements to form smog and acid rain.
