According to the Law of Universal Gravitation, the gravitational force is directly proportional to the mass, and inversely proportional to the distance. In this problem, let's assume the celestial bodies to be restricted to the planets and the Sun. Since the distance is specified, the other factor would be the mass. Among all the celestial bodies, the Sun is the most massive. So, the Sun would cause the strongest gravitational pull to the satellite.

A frog is at the bottom of a 17-foot well. Each time the frog leaps, it moves up 3 feet. If the frog has not reached the top of

docker41 [41]

Answer:

The frog takes 8 jumps to reach top of well

Explanation:

Given data

Frog at bottom=17 foot

Each time frog leaps 3 feet

Frog has not reached the top of the well, then the frog slides back 1 foot

To Find

Total number of leaps the frog needed to escape from well

Solution

in 1 jump distance jumped=3+(-1)

=2 feet

=2×1 feet

The "-1" is because the frog goes back

Now After 2 jumps the distance jumped as:

Distance Jumped=2+2

Distance Jumped=2*2

=4 feet

Similarly after 7 jumps

Distance Jumped=2+2+......+2

Distance Jumped=2*7

=14 feet

Now after 8th jump the frog climbs but doesnot slide back as it is reached to the top of well.

Distance Jumped=(Distance Jumped after 7 jumps)+3

=14+3

=17 feet

The frog takes 8 jumps to reach top of well

The membrane that surrounds a certain type of living cell has a surface area of 4.3 x 10-9 m2 and a thickness of 1.1 x 10-8 m. A

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

The charge resides on the outer surface = $1.245 \times 10^{-12}$ C

Explanation:

Surface area of cell $(A) = 4.3\times 10^{-9} m^{2}$

Separation between two plate $(d) = 1.1 \times 10^{-8} m$

Dielectric constant $(k) = 4.2$

Potential difference $(\Delta V) = 85.7 \times 10^{-3} V$

The capacitance of parallel plate capacitor in free space is given by,

$C = \frac{\epsilon_{o} A }{d}$

Where $\epsilon_{o} =$ permittivity of free space = $8.85 \times 10^{-12}$

The Capacitance of capacitor is increase by $k$ times when it placed in dielectric medium.

$C_{dielectric} = \frac{k \epsilon_{o} A }{d}$

And we know that, $C = \frac{Q}{ \Delta V}$

So charge on the outer surface is given by,

$Q = \frac{k \epsilon A \Delta V }{d}$

$Q = \frac{4.2 \times 4.3 \times 10^{-9} \times 8.85 \times 10^{-12} \times 85.7\times 10^{-3} }{1.1 \times 10^{-8} }$

$Q = 1.245 \times 10^{-12}$

How old are the hydrogen atoms in water?

topjm [15]

Answer: 4.5 billion years

Explanation:

Some of the water molecules in your drinking glass were created more than 4.5 billion years ago, according to new research.

That makes them older than the Earth, older than the solar system — even older than the sun itself.
