What does Newton's third law describe? What does Newton's third law describe?

Physics
1 answer:
defon3 years ago
4 0

Explanation:

<em>Sir Isaac Newton's third law of motion</em> says that every action has an equal and opposite reaction.

For example, when you fire a gun, the gun exerts a force on bullet. Even the bullet exerts an equal force on the gun, causing it to recoil.

The Earth revolves around the Sun as the Sun attracts it. The reason why Earth doesn't fall into it is because the Earth also attracts the Sun with an equal gravitational force.

A capacitor has a capacitance of 0. 40 µF at a voltage of 9. 0 V. What is the charge on each plate of the capacitor? µC.
ASHA 777 [7]

The capacitor is a device that can store electrical energy. It is a two-conductor configuration. The charge on each plate of the capacitor will be 3.6 µC.

<h3>What is a capacitor?</h3>

A capacitor is a device that can store electrical energy. It is a two-conductor configuration separated by an insulating medium that carries charges of equal size and opposite sign.

An electric insulator or vacuum, such as glass, paper, air, or a semi-conductor termed a dielectric, can be used as the non-conductive zone.

The given data in the problem is;

C is the capicitence of capicitor= 0. 40 µF

V is the  voltage = 9. 0 V

Q is a charge on each plate of the capacitor=?µC.

The formula for the capacitor is given as;

\rm Q=CV \\\\ \rm Q=0. 40 \times 9. 0 \\\\ \rm Q=3.6 \ \mu C.

Hence the charge on each plate of the capacitor will be 3.6 µC.

A satellite with mass 6000 kg is orbiting the planet at 2500 km above the planet's
9966 [12]

By the law of universal gravitation, the gravitational force <em>F</em> between the satellite (mass <em>m</em>) and planet (mass <em>M</em>) is

<em>F</em> = <em>G</em> <em>M</em> <em>m</em> / <em>R </em>²

where

<em>• G</em> = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/(kg•s²) is the universal gravitation constant

• <em>R</em> = 2500 km + 5000 km = 7500 km is the distance between the satellite and the center of the planet

Solve for <em>M</em> :

<em>M</em> = <em>F R</em> ² / (<em>G</em> <em>m</em>)

<em>M</em> = ((3 × 10⁴ N) (75 × 10⁵ m)²) / (<em>G</em> (6 × 10³ kg))

<em>M</em> ≈ 2.8 × 10¹⁴ kg

In the photoelectric effect, a photon with an energy of 5.3 × 10–19 J strikes an electron in a metal. Of this energy, 3.6 × 10–1
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

The velocity of the photo electron is 6.11\times 10^5\ m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Supplied energy, E_s=5.3\times 10^{-19}\ J

Minimum energy of the electron to escape from the metal, E_e=3.6\times 10^{-19}\ J

We need to find the velocity of the photo electron. The energy supplied by the photon is equal to the sum of minimum escape energy and the kinetic energy of the escaping electron. So,

5.3\times 10^{-19}\ J=3.6\times 10^{-19}\ J+K\\\\K=5.3\times 10^{-19}-3.6\times 10^{-19}\\\\K=1.7\times 10^{-19}\ J

The formula of kinetic energy is given by :

K=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2K}{m}} \\\\v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 1.7\times 10^{-19}}{9.1\times 10^{-31}}} \\\\v=6.11\times 10^5\ m/s

So, the velocity of the photo electron is 6.11\times 10^5\ m/s.

Assuming typical speeds of 8.5 km/s and 5.5 km/s for P and S waves, respectively, how far away did the earthquake occur if a par
taurus [48]

Answer:

The earthquake occurred at a distance of 1122 km

Explanation:

Given;

speed of the P wave, v₁ = 8.5 km/s

speed of the S wave, v₂ =  5.5 km/s

The distance traveled by both waves is the same and it is given as;

Δx = v₁t₁ = v₂t₂

let the time taken by the wave with greater speed = t₁

then, the time taken by the wave with smaller speed, t₂ = t₁ + 1.2 min, since it is slower.

v₁t₁ = v₂t₂

v₁t₁ = v₂(t₁ + 1.2 min)

v₁t₁ = v₂(t₁ + 72 s)

v₁t₁ = v₂t₁ + 72v₂

v₁t₁ - v₂t₁ = 72v₂

t₁(v₁ - v₂) = 72v₂

t_1 = \frac{72v_2}{v_1-v_2}\\\\t_1 =   \frac{72*5.5}{8.5-5.5}\\\\t_1 = 132 \ s

The distance traveled is given by;

Δx = v₁t₁

Δx = (8.5)(132)

Δx = 1122 km

Therefore, the earthquake occurred at a distance of 1122 km
