The existence of the dwarf planet Pluto was proposed based on irregularities in Neptune's orbit. Pluto was subsequently discover

ed near its predicted position. But it now appears that the discovery was fortuitous, since Pluto is small and the irregularities in Neptune's orbit were not well known. Answer the following to illustrate that Pluto has a minor effect on the orbit of Neptune compared with other planets. (a) Calculate the acceleration of gravity at Neptune due to Pluto when they are 3.2 1012 m apart. The mass of Pluto is 1.3 1022 kg. g1 = m/s2 (b) Calculate the acceleration of gravity at Neptune due to Uranus, when they are 3.2 1012 m apart. The mass of Uranus is 8.68 1025 kg. g2 = m/s2 (c) Give the ratio of this acceleration to that due to Pluto. g2 g1 =

Answer:

a) g1 = 8.467 10⁻¹⁴ m / s² , b)  g2 = 5.65 10⁻¹⁰ m / s² , c) g2 / g1 = 6.6 10³

Explanation:

a) for this we will use Newton's second law where force is the force of universal gravitation

         F = m a

        G m M / r² = m a

        a = g = G M / r²

By the effect of Pluto

        g1 = 6.67 10⁻¹¹  1.3 10²² / (3.2 10¹²)²

        g1 = 8.467 10⁻¹⁴ m / s²

b) By the effect of Uranus

        g2 = 6.67 10⁻¹¹ 8.68 10²⁵ / (3.2 10¹²)²

        g2 = 5.65 10⁻¹⁰ m / s²

c) the relationship between these accelerations

        g2 / g1 = 5.65 10⁻¹⁰ / 8.47 10⁻¹⁴

        g2 / g1 = 0.66 10⁴

        g2 / g1 = 6.6 10³

First satellite was Sputnik and it was a race then to send satellites!! Everyone starts experimenting how to launch.

first try was on a dog , Laika !! It was send to space as it is long after sputnik is placed in orbit !!

Now you know everyone knows rocket science and the most active are ISRO (India) and NASA (USA) !!

Bill leaves his 60 W desk lamp on every day, including weekends, for eight hours. After one month (30 days), how much total ener
maxonik [38]

' W ' is the symbol for 'Watt' ... the unit of power equal to 1 joule/second.

That's all the physics we need to know to answer this question.
The rest is just arithmetic.

(60 joules/sec) · (30 days) · (8 hours/day) · (3600 sec/hour)

= (60 · 30 · 8 · 3600) (joule · day · hour · sec) / (sec · day · hour)

= 51,840,000 joules

Wait a minute !  Hold up !  Hee haw !  Whoa ! 
Excuse me.  That will never do.
I see they want the answer in units of kilowatt-hours (kWh).
In that case, it's

(60 watts) · (30 days) · (8 hours/day) · (1 kW/1,000 watts)

= (60 · 30 · 8 · 1 / 1,000) (watt · day · hour · kW / day · watt)

= 14.4 kW·hour

Rounded to the nearest whole number:

14 kWh

The dimensions of aluminum foil in a box for sale in super markets are 66 2/3 yards by 12 inches. the mass of the foil is 0.83 k
disa [49]

Length of the sheet is given as

L = \frac{200}{3} yards = 6096 cm

width of the sheet is given as

w = 12 inches = 30.48 cm

now let say its thickness is "t"

so the volume of the sheet is given as

V = L*w*t

V = 6096*30.48* t

V = 185806.08*t cm^3

mass of the sheet is given as

m = 0.83 kg = 830 gram

now we have

density = \frac{mass}{volume}

2.70 = \frac{830}{185806.08*t}

by solving above we have

t = 1.65 * 10^{-3} cm

so the thickness of sheet will be above
