A net force is defined as the sum of all the forces acting on an object. The equation below is the sum of N forces acting on an object. There may be several forces acting on an object, and when you add up all of those forces, the result is what we call the net force acting on the object

nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

<em>The mass of the object is 745000 units of the sun</em>

Explanation:

We know that the centripetal force with which the stars orbit the object is represented as

F_{c} = \frac{mv^{2} }{r}

and this centripetal force is also proportional to

F_{c} = \frac{kMm}{r^{2} }

where

m is the mass of the stars

M is the mass of the object

v is the velocity of the stars = 10^6 m/s

r is the distance between the stars and the object = 10^14 m

k is the gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10^-11 m^3 kg^-1 s^-2

We can equate the two centripetal force equations to give

\frac{mv^{2} }{r} = \frac{kMm}{r^{2} }

which reduces to

v^{2} = \frac{kM}{r}

and then finally

M = \frac{rv^{2} }{k}

substituting values, we have

M = \frac{10^{14}*(10^{6})^{2}  }{6.67*10^{-11} } = 1.49 x 10^36 kg

If the mass of the sun is 2 x 10^30 kg

then, the mass of the the object in units of the mass of the sun is

==> (1.49 x 10^36)/(2 x 10^30) = <em>745000 units of sun</em>

Gravity: The force due to gravity is F=mg where g=9.80 m/s². A. Find the force due to gravity on a 41.63-kg object. B. The force
olga_2 [115]
A. F=mg
= 41.63kg x 9.8m/s²
= 407.974
= 408N (3 significant figure)
B. F=mg
632N= y x 9.8m/s²
y= 632 ÷ 9.8
y = 64.48
y= 64.5kg (3 significant figure)

An experiment is designed to test what color of light will activate a photoelectric cell the best. The photocell is set in a cir
Natalija [7]

A photoelectric cell is an electronic device which is used to convert light energy into electric energy.The operation of this device is based on photoelectric effect.

Light of suitable frequency i.e greater or equal to threshold frequency will fall on the cathode maintained at negative potential.The electron emission will take place and these electrons are drifted towards the anode which is at positive potential.

Here,only those radiations will be capable of emitting electrons irrespective of surface barrier of metals whose energy is greater than the work function.

We know that the radiation having long wavelength has least energy as energy and wavelength are inversely proportional to each other.

Mathematically\ energy\ E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}

Here h is the Planck's constant,c is the velocity of light.

Here we have been given red light and blue light.

In the visible spectrum of radiation, the red light has longer wavelength than all other colors of light.Hence blue light has more energy as it's wavelength is less as compared to red light.

Hence, the blue light will activate the most and red the least.
