Earth's gravitational field is strongest at _______.

Physics
1 answer:
Serga [27]2 years ago
3 0
Earth's gravity is stronger at the poles than the equator for two reasons: The centrifugal "force" cancels out the gravity minimally, more so at the equator than at the poles.

Two stars M1 and M2 of equal mass make up a binary star system. They move in a circular orbit that has its center at the midpoin
ozzi

Answer:

V = 365643.04 m/s

Explanation:

mass of the sun = 1.99 x 10^{30} kg

mass of M1 = mass of M2 = 6.95 solar mass = 6.95 x 1.99 x 10^{30} = 13.8305x 10^{30} kg  

orbital period of each star (T) = 2.20 days = 2.20 x 24 x 60 x 60 =190,080 s

gravitational constant (G) = 6.67 x 10^{-11} N m2/kg2

orbital speed (V) = \sqrt{\frac{G(M1+M2)}{r} }

we need to find the orbital radius (r) before we can apply the formula above and we can get it from Kepler's third law, T^{2} = r^{3} x k

where

  • T = orbital period
  • r = orbital radius
  • k = \frac{4n^{2} }{G(M1+M2)}  (take note that π is shown as n)

making r the subject of the formula we now have

r = (\frac{G(M1+M2).T^{2}}{4n^{2} } )^{\frac{1}{3} }    (take note that π is shown as n)

r = (\frac{ 6.67 x 10^{-11} ( 13.8305x 10^{30}+ 13.8305x 10^{30} )x190080^{2}}{4x3.142^{2} } )^{\frac{1}{3} }

r = 1.38 x 10^{10} m

Now that we have the orbital radius (r) we can substitute all required values into the formula for orbital speed

orbital speed (V) = \sqrt{\frac{G(M1+M2)}{r} }

V = \sqrt{\frac{6.67 x 10^{-11} ( 13.8305x 10^{30}+ 13.8305x 10^{30}}{1.38 x 10^{10} } }\\

V = 365643.04 m/s

estimate the number of breaths taken by a human being during an average lifetime. (we estimate an average respiration rate of ab
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

3.679 × 10^{8}

Explanation:

Let's assume that average lifespan for normal human being is 70 years.

In 70 years there are 365 days in each year.

70 years = 70 × 365 days

In one day there are 24 hours.

70 years = 70 × 365 × 24 hours

In one hour there are 60 minutes.

70 years = 70 × 365 × 24 × 60 minutes

we estimate an average respiration rate of about 10 breaths per minute. ... (Given)

Thus, for 70 years number of breath are,

n = 70 × 365 × 24 × 60 × 10

n = 3.679 × 10^{8}

Hence, estimate number of breath over a period of life is 3.679 × 10^{8}.

In order to add or subtract numbers in scientific notation do the exponents have to be the same
emmainna [20.7K]

Yes they do. So if you need to add or subtract a pair, then you have to first change one or the other so that they both have the same power of 10.

A metal ball of mass 100 g is heated to 90°C and then cooled to 25°C. The heat lost in the process is 2.5 kJ. Another metal ball
kobusy [5.1K]

Explanation:

q = mCΔT

where q is heat,

m is mass,

C is specific heat capacity,

and ΔT is temperature change.

For the first ball:

2500 J = (100 g) C (90°C − 25°C)

C = 0.385 J/g/°C

For the second ball:

5000 J = (200 g) C (90°C − 25°C)

C = 0.385 J/g/°C

The two metals have the same specific heat, and are likely the same metal (possibly copper or zinc).
