Suggest a reason why food labels provide information about the energy released by the food?

Because when people eat food, they are eating it to use its energy. People only need so much energy, so it can be a good idea to see how much energy is in the food you consume. If you eat more energy than you need, it is stored as fat in your body instead.

Every few hundred years most of the planets line up on the same side of the Sun.(Figure 1)Calculate the total force on the Earth

mylen [45]

Answer: $3.7 \times 10^{-4} N$

Explanation:

The gravitational pull between two object is given by:

$F = G\frac{Mm}{r^2}$

Where M and m are the masses of the object, r is the distance between the masses and G = 6.67× 10⁻¹¹ m³kg⁻¹ s⁻² is the gravitational constant.

We have to calculate the net force on Earth due to Venus, Jupiter and Saturn when they are in one line. It means when they are the closest distance.

$F_{net] = G\frac{M_eM_v}{r_v^2}+G\frac{M_eM_j}{r_j^2}+G\frac{M_eM_s}{r_s^2}$

Mass of Earth, Me = 5.98 × 10²⁴ kg

Mass of Venus, Mv = 0.815 Me

Mass of Jupiter, Mj = 318 Me

Mass of Saturn, Ms = 95.1 Me

closest distance between Earth and Venus, rv = 38 × 10⁶ km = 0.25 AU

closest distance between Jupiter and Earth, rj = 588 × 10⁶ km = 3.93 AU

closest distance between Earth and Saturn, rs = 1.2 × 10⁹ km = 8.0 AU

where 1 AU = 1.5 × 10¹¹ m

Inserting the values:

$F_{net} = G\frac{M_e\times 0.815 M_e}{(0.25AU)^2}+G\frac{M_e\times 318 M_e}{(3.93AU)^2}+G\frac{M_e\times 95.1 M_e}{(8.0AU)^2}\\ \Rightarrow F_{net} = \frac{(GM_e^2)}{(1AU)^2}(\frac{0.815}{0.25^2}+\frac{318}{3.93^2}+\frac{95.1}{8.0^2})=\frac{6.67\times 10^{-11} \times (5.98\times 10^{24})^2}{(1.5\times 10^{11})^2}(35.1) = 3.7 \times 10^{-4} N$

How fast should a rocket ship move for its mass to be dilated to 167% of its rest<br>mass?

andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

The two forces acting on rockets at the moment of launch are the thrust upwards and the weight downwards. Weight is the force due to gravity and is calculated (at the Earth’s surface) by multiplying the mass (kilograms) by 9.8.The resultant force on each rocket is calculated using the equation resultant force = thrust – weight.

Hopefully, this answer helps you! :)

What is the difference between beta plus and minus

Minchanka [31]

Beta decay is very complex phenomena in natural radioactive decay. There are 3 types of Beta decay.

B+ decay (Beta plus or Beta positive or positron decay):

is the conversion of a proton into a neutron plus a positron and an electron neutrino.

B- decay (Beta negative or Beta nought):

is the conversion of a neutron into a proton plus an electron and a electron antineutrino.

Note: a positron is the a positive electron or the antiparticle of the electron.

Hope it helps

Find the Horizontal (x) vector for these forces.

Anestetic [448]

Answer:

See the explanation below.

Explanation:

The force is a vector therefore we can decompose the force into components x & y. as we need the horizontal component of the force, we must use the cosine function of the angle.

$F_{1x}=30.8*cos(20)\\F_{1x}=28.94[N]\\F_{2x}=34.3*cos(20)\\\\F_{2x}= 32.23[N]$
