Answer:

4674568 m or 4675 km

Explanation:

Let x be the distance from the center of the mass system to the center of the earth. This means the distance from the center of the mass system to the center of the moon is 3.85*10^8 - x. For the masses to balance out, we have the following equation:

m_e*x = m_m*(3.85*10^8 - x)

where m_e is the mass of Earth, and m_m is mass of the moon

5.98 * 10^{24}x = 7.35*10^{22}(3.85*10^8 - x)

We can divide both sides by 10^{22}

598x = 7.35*3.85*10^8 - 7.35x

605.35x = 2829750000

x = 2829750000/605.35 \approx 4674568 m or 4675 km

Jill can use a force of 12.0 N to lift a single box up 5.00 m. How many of these boxes must she lift it in a minute to use 60.0
Mama L [17]

Answer:

60 boxes

Explanation:

The work done by lifting a single box is equal to the force applied (the weight of the box) times the displacement of the box:

W_1 = Fd=(12.0 N)(5.00 m)=60 J

Power is related to the work done by the equation:

P=\frac{W}{t}

where W is the work done and t is the time. In this problem, we are told that the power used is P=60.0 W, while the time taken is t = 1 min = 60 s, so the total work done must be

W=Pt=(60.0 W)(60 s)=3600 J

Therefore, the number of boxes that she has to lift in order to use this power is the total work divided by the work done in lifting each box:

N=\frac{W}{W_1}=\frac{3,600 J}{60 J}=60

Answer: A river delta is a landform created by deposition of sediment that is carried by a river as the flow leaves its mouth and enters slower-moving or stagnant water. This occurs when a river enters an ocean, sea, estuary, lake, reservoir, or (more rarely) another river that cannot carry away the supplied sediment. The size and shape of a delta is controlled by the balance between watershed processes that supply sediment.

Please help! I'm not sure what equation or the process to do this question.
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

The momentum is 1.94 kg m/s.

Explanation:

To solve this problem we equate the potential energy of the spring with the kinetic energy of the ball.

The potential energy U of the compressed spring is given by

U = \dfrac{1}{2} kx^2,

where x is the length of compression and k is the spring constant.

And the kinetic energy of the ball is

K.E = \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2.

When the spring is released all of the potential energy of the spring goes into the kinetic energy of the ball; therefore,

\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2 = \dfrac{1}{2}kx^2,

solving for v we get:

v = x \sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m} }.

And since momentum of the ball is p=mv,

p =mx \sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m} }.

Putting in numbers we get:

p =(0.5kg)(0.25m) \sqrt{\dfrac{(120N/m)}{0.5kg} }.

\boxed{p=1.94kg\: m/s}
