Answer:

The North American tectonic plate.

Explanation:

recall the formula for momentum: p = m * v

the subatomic particles have very small masses while high speeds, so the product results in values with negative exponents in scientific notation.

Negative exponents also result for the house fly when converting mg into kg (10^-6).

The positive exponents in scientific notation for the momentum come for the gigantic mass of the continental plate which exceeds the negative exponents contributed by the small velocity.

The International Space Station (ISS) orbits Earth at an altitude of 4.08 × 105 m above the surface of the planet. At what veloc
alukav5142 [94]

This question involves the concepts of orbital velocity and orbital radius.

The orbital velocity of ISS must be "7660.25 m/s".

The orbital velocity of the ISS can be given by the following formula:

v=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{R}}

where,

v = orbital velocity = ?

G = Universal Gravitational Constant = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N.m²/kg²

M = Mass of Earth = 5.97 x 10²⁴ kg

R = orbital radius = radius of earth + altitude = 63.78 x 10⁵ m + 4.08 x 10⁵ m

R = 67.86 x 10⁵ m

Therefore,

v=\sqrt{\frac{(6.67\ x\ 10^{-11}\ N.m^2/kg^2)(5.97\ x\ 10^{24}\ kg)}{67.86\ x\ 10^5\ m}}

<u>v = 7660.25 m/s</u>

A certain superconducting magnet in the form of a solenoid of length 0.300 m can generate a magnetic field of 8.90 T in its core
Ivan

Answer:

The number of turns in the solenoid is 22366.

Explanation:

The number of turns in the solenoid can be found using the following equation:

B = \mu_{0} I\frac{N}{L}

Where:

B: is the magnetic field = 8.90 T

L: is the solenoid's length = 0.300 m

N: is the number of turns =?

I: is the current = 95 A

μ₀: is the magnetic constant = 4π×10⁻⁷ H/m

By solving equation (1) for N we have:

N = \frac{BL}{\mu_{0} I} = \frac{8.90 T*0.300 m}{4\pi \cdot 10^{-7} H/m*95 A} = 22366 turns

Therefore, the number of turns in the solenoid is 22366.

I hope it helps you!

how much does a bookshelf weigh if the movers are pushing it at a speed of 10 m/s^2 by applying 100 N force
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

10 kg

Explanation:

Assuming a frictionless surface, then force F=ma where F is the applied force, m is the mass and a is acceleration. Making m the subject of the formula then m=\frac {F}{a}

Substituting 100 N for the applied force F and 10 m/s^2 for acceleration a then the value of m will be m=\frac {100}{10}=10\ kgs

Therefore, in terms of kilograms, the bookshelf weighs 10 Kg
