Otrada [13]

Answer:

537 N

Explanation:

The force due to gravity of a planet is:

F = GMm / r²

where G is the universal gravitational constant

M is the mass of the planet

m is the mass of the object

and r is the distance between the object and the center of the planet

On Earth, you weigh 716 N, so:

716 N = GMm / r²

On planet X:

F = G (3M) m / (2r)²

F = 3/4 GMm / r²

F = 3/4 (716 N)

F = 537 N

Do you think seismographs predict earthquakes or measure earthquakes, explain your answer?

Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

No. Neither the USGS nor any other scientists have ever predicted a major earthquake. We do not know how, and we do not expect to know how any time in the foreseeable future.

A model rocket blasts off from the ground, rising straight upward with a constant acceleration that has a magnitude of 86.0 m/s2

Harman [31]

<span>When the fuel of the rocket is consumed, the acceleration would be zero. However, at this phase the rocket would still be going up until all the forces of gravity would dominate and change the direction of the rocket. We need to calculate two distances, one from the ground until the point where the fuel is consumed and from that point to the point where the gravity would change the direction.

Given:
a = 86 m/s^2
t = 1.7 s

Solution:

d = vi (t) + 0.5 (a) (t^2)
d = (0) (1.7) + 0.5 (86) (1.7)^2
d = 124.27 m

vf = vi + at
vf = 0 + 86 (1.7)
vf = 146.2 m/s (velocity when the fuel is consumed completely)

Then, we calculate the time it takes until it reaches the maximum height.
vf = vi + at
0 = 146.2 + (-9.8) (t)
t = 14.92 s

Then, the second distance
d= vi (t) + 0.5 (a) (t^2)
d = 146.2 (14.92) + 0.5 (-9.8) (14.92^2)
d = 1090.53 m

Then, we determine the maximum altitude:
d1 + d2 = 124.27 m + 1090.53 m = 1214.8 m</span>

If the work function of a material is such that red light of wavelength 700 nm just barely initiates the photoelectric effect, w

marishachu [46]

Answer:

2.13 x 10^-19 J or 0.53 eV

Explanation:

cut off wavelength, λo = 700 nm = 700 x 10^-9 m

λ = 400 nm = 400 x 10^-9 m

Use the energy equation

$E = \frac{h c}{\lambda _{o}}+K$

Where, K be the work function

$\frac{h c}{\lambda} = \frac{h c}{\lambda _{o}}+K$

$K =hc\left ( \frac{1}{\lambda } -\frac{1}{\lambda _{0}}\right )$

$K =6.63\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^{8}\left ( \frac{1}{4\times 10^{-7} } -\frac{1}{7\times 10^{-7}}\right )$

K = 2.13 x 10^-19 J

K = 0.53 eV

Step 1, when solving a two dimensional, multi-charge problem, is to define the vectors. Please identify the next five steps, in

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer: The next 5 steps are.

step 2: Find the magnitude of vectors.

step 3: Calculate 'x' and 'y' components.

step 4: Sum the above obtained vector components.

step 5: Calculate the magnitude of Resultant Vector.

Step 6: Determine the direction of the resultant vector.

Explanation:

Let the two vectors be 'A' and 'B'.

Let A = $x_{1} \hat{i}+y_{1}\hat{j}+z_{1}\hat{k}$ and B = $x_{2} \hat{i}+y_{2}\hat{j}+z_{2}\hat{k}$

It is given that, when solving a two dimensional, multi-charge problem, is to define the vectors.

So, step 1 is to define the vectors A and B.

In step 2, we find the magnitude of the vectors by,

$|A|=\sqrt{x_1^2+y_1^2+z_1^2}$

$|B|=\sqrt{x_2^2+y_2^2+z_2^2}$

In step 3, we find the components 'x' and 'y'

Then in step 4, we sum the components. Now we get the Resultant vector (R).

In step 5, Calculate the magnitude of 'R' using the above formula to find magnitude.

In step 6, we determine the direction of 'R'.
