Answer:

772.65 years.  

Explanation:

Semi major axis = R = 84 AU = 1.257 × 10¹³ m

According to the 3rd law of Kepler, T² =  4 π² R³ / GM

Here R is the semi major axis. G = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ SI units.

M is the mass of the  Sun  = 1.98 x 10³⁰ kg

T² =    4 (3.14)³ (1.257 × 10¹³ )³÷ (6.67 × 10⁻¹¹)(1.98 x 10³⁰)

  ⇒  Time period  =  T = 2.44 x 10¹⁰ seconds

1 s = 3.17 × 10⁻⁸ years

Converting the seconds to years, T = 772.65 years.

For the meter stick shown in figure 10-4, the force F1 10.0 N acts at 10.0 cm. What is the magnitude of torque due to F1 about a
Phantasy [73]

Torque is equal position vector times (r) times force vector (F).  Since F= 10 N and r = 0.1 m, so the torque is equal to (10 N) x ( 0.1 m) = 1Nm. The direction of the torque would be into the screen, clockwise rotation.

List and explain briefly similarities and differences between the electric force between two charges and the gravitational force
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

Please see below as the answers are self-explanatory.

Explanation:

  • Similarities

1) The resultant force is along the line that joins both charges or both masses (assuming both objects can be represented as points)

2) Both type of forces obey  Newton's 3rd law.

3) Both are proportional to the product of the property that is affected by the force (charges and masses)

4) Both obey an inverse - square law (consequence of our universe being three-dimensional)

  • Differences

1) Main difference, is that while the gravitational force is always attractive, the electrostatic force can be attractive or repulsive, as there are two types of charges, which attract each other being of different type, and repel each other if they are of the same type.

2) It  is possible, artificially, to block the influence of the electrostatic force, shielding a room, for instance, which is not possible for the gravitational force.
