The weight of spaceman Speff at the surface of planet X, solely due to its gravitational pull, is 389 N. If he moves to a distan

ce of 1.86 × 104 km above the planet's surface, his weight changes to 24.31 N. What is the mass of planet X, if Speff's mass is 75.0 kg? (G = 6.67 × 10 -11 N ∙ m2/kg2)

Answer:

mass of the planet X = 5.6 × 10²³ kg.

Explanation:

According to Newtons law of universal gravitation,

F = GM₁M₂/r²

Where F = gravitational force, M₁ = mass of the speff, M₂ = mass of the planet X, G = gravitational constant r = distance between the speff and the planet X

making M₂ The subject of the equation above,

M₂ = Fr²/GM₁ .......................... equation 2

Where F = 24.31 N, r = 1.08×18⁴km ⇒( convert to m ) =1.08 × 10⁴  × 1000 m

r = 1.08  × 10⁷ m, G = 6.67  × 10 ⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg², M₁ = 75 kg

Substituting this values in equation 2,

M₂ = 24.13(1.08  × 10⁷ )²/75( 6.67  × 10 ⁻¹¹)

M₂ = 24.13 × 1.17 × 10¹⁴/500.25 × 10⁻¹¹

M₂ = (28.23 × 10¹⁴)/(500.25 × 10⁻¹¹)

M₂ = 0.056 × 10²⁵

M₂ = 5.6 × 10²³ kg.

Therefore mass of the planet X = 5.6 × 10²³ kg.

How much force is needed to stretch a spring 1. 2 m if the spring constant is 8. 5 N/m? 7. 1 N 7. 3 N 9. 7 N 10. 2 N.
statuscvo [17]

The amount of force required to stretch or compress the spring is known as the spring force. Its unit is Newton(N). Force is needed to stretch spring is 10.2 N.

<h3>What is spring force?</h3>

The force required to extend or compress a spring by some distance scales linearly with respect to that distance is known as the spring force. Its formula is

F = kx

The given data in the problem is;

F is the spring force =?

K is the spring constant= 8.5 N/m

x is the length by which spring got stretched = 1.2m

\rm F_S=Kx \\\\ \rm F_S=8.5 \times 1.2 \\\\ \rm F_S=10.2 N

Hence the force is needed to stretch the spring is 10.2 N.

To learn more about the spring force refer to the link;

He vector parts that add up to the resultant are called ____.
cupoosta [38]

1. Answer: components

A two dimensional vector can be divided into two parts called horizontal component and vertical component.

A three dimensional vector can be divided into three components: one along x-axis, one along y-axis and one along z-axis.

Hence, the vector parts that add up to the resultant are called components.

2. Answer: 5 miles.

The resultant distance along the straight line from the starting point to the end point would be the displacement.

The displacement would be equal to the magnitude of the hypotenuse formed in the right triangle.

Displacement, d=\sqrt{4^2+3^2}=\sqrt{16+9}=\sqrt{25}=5 miles

3. Answer: Scalar

A scalar quantity has only magnitude. For example, speed and distance are scalar quantities and can be normally added to find the total.

A vector quantity has both magnitude as well as direction. The components are summed according to vector addition rules. For example, velocity, acceleration, force etc.

Resultant vector of a force gives us information regarding ___________ of resultant force.
qaws [65]

Answer: direction

Explanation:

Given

The resultant vector of a force gives us information regarding the direction of the resultant force.

If there are multiple forces acted in a different direction then, the resultant vector describes the direction of the resultant force.

How much heat is needed to raise the temperature of 5g of water by 20oC?
Ratling [72]
Required Heat = Q

Q = Mass * specific heat of water * change in temp.

Q = 5g * 1g/cal*degC * 20degC

Q = 100 cal of heat is required

To convert calories to Joules,
1 cal = 4.184 Joules

100cal = 418.4 J of heat is needed
