What is the force of gravity between two 50.0kg masses that are separated by 0.300m?3.71x10-8N5.59x10-7N2.78x104N1.85x10-6N

Varvara68 [4.7K]

We will have the following:

$\begin{gathered} F=G\frac{m_1m_2}{r^2}\Rightarrow F=\frac{(6.67\ast10^{-11}m^3\ast kg^{-1}\ast s^{-2})(50kg)(50kg)}{(0.3m)^2} \\ \\ \Rightarrow F=1.852777778...\ast10^{-6}N\Rightarrow F\approx1.85\ast10^{-6}N \end{gathered}$

So, the force is approximately 1.85*10^-6 N.

Which example has the least kinetic energy

Stells [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let’s calculate the kinetic energy for all of the choices.

a. (1/2)(100)(100)^2 = 50(10000)=500,000

b. (1/2)(100)(1)^2 = 50

c. (1/2)(10)(100)^2 = 5(10000) = 50,000

d. (1/2)(1)(1)^2 = 0.5

We can see that (d) has the least kinetic energy.

A refrigeration cycle has Qout = 1000 Btu and Wcycle = 300 Btu. Determine the coefficient of performance for the cycle.

DENIUS [597]

Answer:

The coefficient of performance for the cycle is 2.33.

Explanation:

Given that,

Output energy $Q_{out}=1000\ Btu$

Work done $W_{cycle}=300\ Btu$

We need to calculate the coefficient of performance

Using formula of the coefficient of performance

$COP=\dftrac{Q_{in}}{W_{cycle}}$

We need to calculate the $Q_{in}$

$W_{cycle}=Q_{out}-Q_{in}$

Put the value into the formula

$300=1000-Q_{in}$

$Q_{in}=300-1000$

$Q_{in}=700\ Btu$

Now put the value of $Q_{in}$ into the formula of COP

$COP=\dfrac{700}{300}$

$COP=\dfrac{7}{3}=2.33$

Hence, The coefficient of performance for the cycle is 2.33.

Sedimentary rock turns into magnum through which process

alexandr402 [8]

Sedimentary rocks are formed when sediment is deposited out of air, ice, wind, gravity, or water flows carrying the particles in suspension. This sediment is often formed when weathering and erosion break down a rock into loose material in a source area.
