Answer:

57908 N

Explanation:

Let's first convert Dumbo's mass into kg using the given relationship: 2.2 pounds =1 kg.

Then, 13000 lbs = 13000/2.2 kg = 5909 kg

Now, let's find the force of gravity on Dumbo at the surface of the earth, which would be in magnitude equal to the normal force that the Earth's surface applies on Dumbo.

F = m * a = 5909 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = 57908 N

What is role of gravity in our daily life?
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]
Well for starters, gravity keeps things down on Earth. Also, gravity applies its force on to cars to maintain stability by forcing the tires to make constant contact to the ground creating friction between the rubber and road surface allowing the car to be moved. I'm sure someone else has better ideas!

A planet of mass 7.00 1025 kg is in a circular orbit of radius 6.00 1011 m around a star. The star exerts a force on the planet
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

A) 1.88 * 10^17 m

B) 1.22 * 10^34 J

C) 1.95 * 10^34 J

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Mass of planet = 7.00 * 10^25 kg

Radius of orbit = 6.00 * 10^11 m

Force exerted on planet = 6.51 * 10^22 N

Velocity of planet = 2.36 * 10^4 m/s

A) The distance traveled by the planet is half of the circumference of the orbit (which is circular).

The circumference of the orbit is

C = 2 * pi * R

R = radius of orbit

C = 2 * 3.142 * 6.0 * 10¹¹

C = 3.77 * 10¹² m

Hence, distance traveled will be:

D = 0.5 * 3.77 * 10¹²

D = 1.88 * 10 ¹² m/s

B) Work done is given as:

W = F * D

W = 652 * 10²² * 1.88 * 10¹¹

W = 1.22 * 10³⁴ J

C) Change in Kinetic energy is given as:

K. E. = 0.5 * m * v²

K. E. = 0.5 * 7 * 10^25 * (2.36 * 10^4)²

K. E. = 1.95 * 10³⁴ J

Electromagnetic induction
vredina [299]

Answer:

Electromagnetic Induction or Induction is a process in which a conductor is put in a particular position and magnetic field keeps varying or magnetic field is stationary and a conductor is moving. This produces a Voltage or EMF (Electromotive Force) across the electrical conductor.

A wire is carrying current vertically downward. What is the direction of the force due to Earth's magnetic field on the wire?
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

The direction of the force will be towards the east

Explanation:

From the question we are told that  

    The direction of the  downward

Generally according to Fleming's right-hand rule(

          Thumb -  direction of force

           Middle finger -  direction of current

           Index finger -  direction of the magnetic field

) and the fact that the earth magnetic field acts  from south to north with respect to the four cardinal points then the direction of the  force will be toward the east with respect to the four cardinal point on the earth
