Answer:

149.34 Giga meter is the distance d from the center of the sun at which a particle experiences equal attractions from the earth and the sun.

Explanation:

Mass of earth = m = 5.976\times 10^{24} kg

Mass of Sun = M = 333,000 m

Distance between Earth and Sun = r = 149.6 gm =  1.496\times 10^{11} m[/tex]

1 giga meter = 10^{9} meter

Let the mass of the particle be m' which x distance from Sun.

Distance of the particle from Earth = (r-x)

Force between Sun and particle:

F=G\frac{M\times m'}{x^2}=G\frac{333,000 m\times m'}{x^2}

Force between Sun and particle:

F'=G\frac{mm'}{(r-x)^2}

Force on particle is equal:

F = F'

G\frac{333,000 m\times m'}{x^2}=G\frac{mm'}{(r-x)^2}

\frac{x}{r-x}=\sqrt{333,000} = ±577.06

Case 1:

\frac{x}{r-x}=577.06

x = 1.49\times 10^{11} m=149.34 Gm

Acceptable as the particle will lie in between the straight line joining Earth and Sun.

Case 2:

\frac{x}{r-x}=-577.06

x = 1.49\times 10^{11} m=149.86 Gm

Not acceptable as the particle will lie beyond on line extending straight from the Earth and Sun.

Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

Re = 1 10⁴

Explanation:

Reynolds number is

         Re = ρ v D /μ

The units of each term are

       ρ = [kg / m³]

       v = [m / s]

      D = [m]

      μ = [Pa s]

The pressure

      Pa = [N / m²] = [Kg m / s²] 1 / [m²] = [kg / m s²]

      μ = [Pa s] = [kg / m s²] [s] = [kg / m s]

We substitute the units in the equation

      Re = [kg / m³] [m / s] [m] / [kg / m s]

      Re = [kg / m s] / [m s / kg]

      RE = [ ]

Reynolds number is a scalar

Let's evaluate for the given point

Where the data for methane are:

viscosity       μ = 11.2 10⁻⁶ Pa s

the density  ρ = 0.656 kg / m³

       D = 2 in (2.54 10⁻² m / 1 in) = 5.08 10⁻² m

       Re = 0.656 4 2 5.08 10⁻² /11.2 10⁻⁶

       Re = 1.19 10⁴

Temka [501]

Answer:3,600 Newtons

Explanation:

The net force acting on the car is

3×10^3squared

Newtons.

Force is defined as the product of the mass of the body and its aaceleration,⇒F=ma

Substituting the above given values we get,F=(1500kg) (2.0m /s^2 squared)=3000 N=3×10^3 squared N.

N=newtons

Why does helium have more spectral lines than hydrogen?
Lynna [10]

<span>This is because Helium has two valence electrons compared to Hydrogen which has only one. Helium has more energy levels for an electron to jump thus more spectral lines to occur. The spectral lines relating to each change of energy level would be more grouped together and hence the greater chance of them falling in the visible range.</span>

What happens to a day of light that slows down when it hits a new medium at an angle
Anika [276]
Light travels as transverse waves and faster than sound. It can be reflected, refracted and dispersed. Ray diagrams show what happens to light in mirrors and lenses. Eyes and cameras detect light.

Describe the full water cycle
sergey [27]

The water cycle (hydro-logic cycle), explains the constant motion of water on, above and below the surface of the Earth. The mass of water on Earth stays equally constant over time, although the severe portion of the water goes into the major reservoirs of ice, fresh water, saline water and atmospheric water is variable depending on a wide range of climatic variables. The water moves from one reservoir to another, such as from river to ocean, or from the ocean to the atmosphere, by the physical processes of evaporation, condensation, precipitation, infiltration, surface runoff, and subsurface flow. In doing so, the water goes through different forms: liquid, solid (ice) and vapor.
