Suppose the earth suddenly came to halt and ceased revolving around the sun. The gravitational force would then pull it directly

to the sun. What would be the earth's speed as it crashed?

Answer:

613373.65233 m/s

Explanation:

M = Mass of Sun = 1.989\times 10^{30}\ kg

m = Mass of Earth

v = Velocity of Earth

r = Distance between Earth and Sun = 147.12\times 10^{9}\ m

r_e = Radius of Earth = 6.371\times 10^6\ m

r_s = Radius of Sun = 695.51\times 10^6\ m

In this system it is assumed that the potential and kinetic energies are conserved

\dfrac{1}{2}Mv_2-\dfrac{GMm}{r_e+r_s}=0-\dfrac{GMm}{r}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2GM(\dfrac{1}{r_e+r_s}-\dfrac{1}{r})}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\times 6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 1.989\times 10^{30}(\dfrac{1}{6.371\times 10^6+695.51\times 10^6}-\dfrac{1}{147.12\times 10^{9}})}\\\Rightarrow v=613373.65233\ m/s

The velocity of Earth would be 613373.65233 m/s

Compensation may be provided, and a temporary residence provided, to the family so that they may make necessary adjustments to their living arrangements and other work-related matters. Even if it's not the nicest way to go about things, it's the most effective.

<h3>What is compensation due to damages?</h3>

Generally, Money given to a successful plaintiff in civil litigation is known as "compensatory damages." Damage awards are handed out by the civil justice system.

In conclusion, Engineers have a responsibility to find optimal solutions that satisfy the demands of the public in a manner that is both practical and beneficial to the progress of the country as a whole. In this case, forcing the farm family to relocate would be very difficult and upsetting for them, but it would be quite useful for the community as a whole if a road were to be constructed.

What law states force is dependent on the mass and acceleration of an object
UNO [17]

Answer:

Newton's second law of motion

Explanation:

Newton's second law of motion can be stated  

The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

in another form,

Force = mass * acceleration

A standing wave of the third overtone is induced in a stopped pipe, 2.5 m long. The speed of sound is The frequency of the sound
NemiM [27]

Answer:

f3 = 102 Hz

Explanation:

To find the frequency of the sound produced by the pipe you use the following formula:

f_n=\frac{nv_s}{4L}

n: number of the harmonic = 3

vs: speed of sound = 340 m/s

L: length of the pipe = 2.5 m

You replace the values of n, L and vs in order to calculate the frequency:

f_{3}=\frac{(3)(340m/s)}{4(2.5m)}=102\ Hz

hence, the frequency of the third overtone is 102 Hz
