Answer:

Percentage of mass converted to energy = 99.9 %

Explanation:

By far most of the solar system's mass is in the Sun itself: somewhere between 99.8 and 99.9 percent. The rest is split between the planets and their satellites, and the comets and asteroids and the dust and gas surrounding our star. Seen from afar (on the scale of distances between stars) the presence of the solar system would not be obvious. We would simply see a normal-looking star. Perhaps we would pick up the presence of Jupiter, which makes up two thirds or so of the solar system outside of the Sun, by mass.

A hiker is at the bottom of a canyon facing the canyon wall closest to her. She is 280.5 meters from the wall and the sound of h

ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

4.80 seconds

Explanation:

The velocity of sound is obtained from;

V= 2d/t

Where;

V= velocity of sound = 329.2 ms-1

d= distance from the wall = 790.5 m

t= time = the unknown

t= 2d/V

t= 2 × 790.5/ 329.2

t= 4.80 seconds

Two charges, one of 2.50μC and the other of -3.50μC, are placed on the x-axis, one at the origin and the other at x = 0.600 m

aev [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

charge of first body $q_1=2.5\ mu C$

charge of second body $q_2=-3.5\ mu C$

Particle 1 is at origin and particle 2 is at $x=0.6\ m$

third Particle which charge +q must be placed left of $2.5\mu C$ because it will repel the q charge while $-3.5\mu C$ will attract it

suppose it is placed at a distance of x m

$F_{1q}=\frac{kq(2.5)}{x^2}$

$F_{2q}=\frac{kq(-3.5)}{(0.6+x)^2}$

$F_{1q}+F_{2q}=0$

$\frac{kq(2.5)}{x^2}+\frac{kq(-3.5)}{(0.6+x)^2}=0$

$\frac{kq(2.5)}{x^2}=\frac{kq(3.5)}{(0.6+x)^2}$

$\frac{0.6+x}{x}=(\frac{3.5}{2.5})^{0.5}$

$0.6+x=1.1832x$

$x=3.27\ m$

When is a secondary source more helpful than a primary source?

UNO [17]

Answer:

I think the answer is C.

Explanation:

A primary source is a first hand account of an event while a secondary source is a retelling or second hand account meaning as many details will be prevalent.

On earth, two parts of a space probe weigh 14500 N and 4800 N. These parts are separated by a center-to-center distance of 18 m

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

$F = 1.489*10^{-7} N$

Explanation: Weight of space probes on earth is given by: $W= m*g$

W= weight of the object( in N)

m= mass of the object (in kg)

g=acceleration due to gravity(9.81 $\frac{m}{s^{2} }$ )

Therefore,

$m_{1} = \frac{14500}{9.81}$

$m_{1} = 1478.08 kg$

Similarly,

$m_{2} = \frac{4800}{9.81}$

$m_{2} = 489.29 kg$

Now, considering these two parts as uniform spherical objects

Also, according to Superposition principle, gravitational net force experienced by an object is sum of all individual forces on the object.

Force between these two objects is given by:

$F = \frac{Gm_{1} m_{2}}{R^{2} }$

G= gravitational constant ( $6.67 * 10^{-11} m^{3} kg^{-1} s^{-2}$ )

$m_{1} , m_{2}$ = masses of the object

R= distance between their centres (in m)(18 m)

Substituiting all these values into the above formula

$F = 1.489*10^{-7} N$

This is the magnitude of force experienced by each part in the direction towards the other part, i.e the gravitational force is attractive in nature.
