Combining solar radiation pressure and solar wind blows away gas and dust from the nucleus, to what we see as a tail, is really two tails: the ion tail and the dust tail

An astronaut lands on a new, recently discovered planet in a different star system. The astronaut measures the acceleration due
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

The radius of the new planet is ~2.04 * 10⁶ m, or 2,041,752 m.

Explanation:

We can use Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation:

  • \displaystyle F_g=G\frac{Mm}{r^2}

Let's look at Newton's 2nd Law:

  • F=ma

We can set these equations equal to each other:

  • \displaystyle G\frac{Mm}{r^2} =ma

The mass of the second mass (astronaut) cancels out. We are left with:

  • \displaystyle G\frac{M}{r^2} =a

We are solving for the radius of the new planet, so we can rearrange the equation:

  • \displaystyle r=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{a} }

Substitute in our known values given in the problem (<u><em>G = 6.67 * 10⁻¹¹ </em></u><em> ; </em><u><em>M = 7.5 * 10²³</em></u><em> ; </em><u><em>a = 12</em></u>).

  • \displaystyle r =\sqrt{\frac{(6.67\times 10^{-11})(7.5 \times 10^{23}}{12} }
  • r=2.04 \times 10^6

The radius of the new planet is ~2.04 * 10⁶ m.

Two long, straight wires both carry current to the right, are parallel, and are 25 cm apart. Wire one carries a current of 2.0 A
Artemon [7]

Answer:

x = 7.14 meters

Explanation:

It is given that,

Current in wire 1, I_1=2\ A

Current in wire 2, I_2=5\ A  

Distance between parallel wires, r = 25 cm

Let at P point the net magnetic field equal to 0. The magnetic field at a point midway between the is given by :

B=\dfrac{\mu_oI}{2\pi r}

Let the distance is x from wire 1. So,

\dfrac{I_1}{r}=\dfrac{I_2}{(0.25-r)}

\dfrac{2}{r}=\dfrac{5}{(25-r)}

x=\dfrac{50}{7}\ m

x = 7.14 meters

So, the magnetic field will be 0 at a distance of 7.14 meters from wire 1. Hence, this is the required solution.

The light at an intersection is red and a police officer directs you to go through the intersection. what should you do?
Alex777 [14]

Go through the intersection without stopping is the appropriate action to be taken in a case where the light at an intersection is red and a police officer directs you to go through it.

<h3>What is Traffic light?</h3>

This is also referred to as stoplights and is present in the intersection of roads etc so as to help control traffic and prevent the occurrences of accidents on the road.

In cases where there is no officer, the traffic light must be obeyed but where the officer is present then his authority overrules and must be obeyed as he is in the best position to know the reason why the traffic light should be ignored in this type of scenario.

This is therefore the reason why the individual should go through the intersection without stopping.

Si usted trata de contrabandear lingotes de oro llenando su mochila, cuyas dimensiones son de 56 cm * 28 cm * 22 cm, ¿cuál sería
kati45 [8]

Answer:

Mass, m = 665.77 kg

Explanation:

The question says that "If you try to smuggle gold bars by filling your backpack, whose dimensions are 56 cm * 28 cm * 22 cm, what would be its mass? "

The dimension of gold bar is 56 cm×28 cm×22 cm

We know that the density of gold is 19.3 g/cm³

The mas per unit volume of a material is called its density. It can be given by :

d=\dfrac{m}{V}\\\\m=d\times V\\\\m=(19.3\ g/cm^3)\times (56\times 28\times 22\ cm^3)\\\\m=665772.8\ g\\\\m=665.77\ kg

So, the mass of the gold bar is 665.77 kg.
