Gravitational force between 2 objects . . .

F = G · m₁ · m₂ / D²

-- You said that F = 3.5 x 10²² Newtons.

-- G = the gravitational constant = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N m² / kg²

-- You want to find D .

F = G · m₁ · m₂ / D²

Multiply each side by D² . . .  D² · F = G · m₁ · m₂

Divide each side by F . . .  D² = G · m₁ · m₂ / F

So finally . . . D = √(G · m₁ · m₂ / F )

D = √(6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N·m²/kg² · Earth mass · Sun mass / 3.5 x 10²² N)

<em>D = 4.37 x 10⁻¹⁷ · √(Earth mass · Sun mass) </em> meters

Which transformation of energy occurs when a fan is turned on and the blades start to rotate?
Ksju [112]

Answer:

kinetic energy

Explanation:

A wind turbine transforms the mechanical energy of wind into electrical energy. A turbine takes the kinetic energy of a moving fluid, air in this case, and converts it to a rotary motion. As wind moves past the blades of a wind turbine, it moves or rotates the blades. These blades turn a generator

The data table shows some data related to the Sun and the planets in our solar system.
AlexFokin [52]
You have selected the correct answer and blobbed over it with your pencil.

I assume you must have looked at Saturn's average distance, found 1427,
divided that number by 6, got 237 and change, then looked at the others,
and found that 228 was the only one that's anywhere close.
