Answer:

The gravitational attraction of the Sun is what holds the planets in their elliptical orbits. So to explain this the mass effects the motion of the planets because the strength of gravitational force depends of the mass.

An upward force act on a proton as it moves with a speed of 2.0 x 10^5 meters/seconds through a magnetic field of 8.5 x 10^2

Gekata [30.6K]

Force on a moving charge is given by formula

$\vec F = q(\vec v \times \vec B)$

here we know that this force will be maximum when velocity is perpendicular to magnetic field

$\vec F = qvB$

here we know that

$v = 2.0 \times 10^5 m/s$

$q = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} C$

$B = 8.5 \times 10^2 T$

now we have

$F = (1.6 \times 10^{-19})(2 \times 10^5)(8.5 \times 10^2)$

$F = 2.72 \times 10^{-11} N$

After washing lettuce, you can dry the water from it using a salad spinner. You put the lettuce in the bowl, and then crank the

A. The force that causes the water on the lettuce to come off the lettuce and go to the walls of the bowl is centrifugal force.

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

Centrifugal force is an inertial force that appears to act on all objects when viewed in a rotating frame of reference.

This force is directed away from the center around which the body is moving.

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

This is force that acts on a body moving in a circular path and is directed towards the center around which the body is moving.

While centripetal force is directed towards to the center, the centrifugal force is directed away.

Thus, the force that causes the water on the lettuce to come off the lettuce and go to the walls of the bowl is centrifugal force.

A 1569 kg car moves with a velocity of 15 m/s. What is its kinetic energy? Joules

Crank

Kinetic energy = 1/2 * mass * velocity^2

In this case,
KE = 1/2 * 1569 kg * (15 (m/s))^2 = 176,5 kN
