A 120-kg object and a 420-kg object are separated by 3.00 m At what position (other than an infinitely remote one) can the 51.0-

kg object be placed so as to experience a net force of zero from the other two objects?

Answer:

1.045 m from 120 kg

Explanation:

m1 = 120 kg

m2 = 420 kg

m = 51 kg

d = 3 m

Let m is placed at a distance y from 120 kg so that the net force on 51 kg is zero.

By use of the gravitational force

Force on m due to m1 is equal to the force on m due to m2.

\frac{Gm_{1}m}{y^{2}}=\frac{Gm_{2}m}{\left ( d-y \right )^{2}}

\frac{m_{1}}{y^{2}}=\frac{m_{2}}{\left ( d-y \right )^{2}}

\frac{3-y}{y}=\sqrt{\frac{7}{2}}

3 - y = 1.87 y

3 = 2.87 y

y = 1.045 m

Thus, the net force on 51 kg is zero if it is placed at a distance of 1.045 m from 120 kg.

The Henry's law constant for CO2 is 3.6 ✕ 10−2 M/atm at 25°C. What pressure (in atm) of carbon dioxide is needed to maintain a C
xeze [42]

To solve this problem we will use Henry's law. This law states that at a constant temperature, the amount of gas dissolved in a liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure exerted by that gas on the liquid. Mathematically it is formulated as follows:

C = K_H*P

Where,

K_H = Henry's constant for C02 at 25°C is equal to 3.6*10^{-2}M/atm

C = Gas concentration is 0.19M

Replacing we have,

0.19 M = (3.6*10^-2 M/atm)*P

P = 5.277 atm

Therefore the pressure of carbon dioxide is 5.277 atm

You carry a 20 N bag of dog food up a 6.0 m flight of stairs. How much work was done?
MariettaO [177]
Answer:
120 J

Explanation:


Formula Of Work= Work= Force x Displacement

Work= 20 N x 6.0

Work= 120 Joules

The reason I put joules because the Unit of work is joules

The milky way galaxy is the galaxy that is closest to us contains the most stars is farthest from us contains our solar system
yKpoI14uk [10]
The Milky Way galaxy is the one that the sun is a member of, and it contains
our solar system.  We're in it, and you can't get much closer than that.

The Milky Way is known to be bigger than your average galaxy, but it's
probably not correct to say that it contains the 'most' stars of any galaxy. 
The estimate for the Milky Way is only a few hundred billion stars.

Q. No. 9 A body falls freely from the top of a tower and during the last second of its fall, it falls through 25m. Find the heig
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

45.6m

Explanation:

The equation for the position y of an object in free fall is:

y=-\frac{1}{2} gt^2+v_0t+y_0

With the given values in the question the equation has one unknown v₀:

v_0=\frac{y-y_0}{t}+\frac{1}{2}gt

Solving for t=1:

1) v_0=y-y_0+\frac{g}{2}

To find the hight of the tower you can use the concept of energy conservation:

The energy of the body 1 sec before it hits the ground:

2) E=\frac{1}{2}m{v_0}^2+mgy_0

If h is the height of the tower, the energy on top of the tower:

3) E=mgh

Combining equation 2 and 3 and solving for h:

4) h=\frac{{v_0}^2}{2g}+y_0

Combining equation 1 and 4:

h=\frac{{(y-y_0+\frac{g}{2}})^2}{2g}+y_0
