Answer:

742.3N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Distance  = 39m

Mass 1  = 9.2 x 10⁷kg

Mass 2  = 1.84 x 10⁸kg

Unknown:

Gravitational force between the ships  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we apply the newton's law of universal gravitation:

            Fg  = \frac{G x mass 1 x mass 2}{r^{2} }  

G is the universal gravitation constant  = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹

r is the distance or separation

   Fg  = \frac{6.67 x 10^{-11}  x 9.2 x 10^{7}  x 1.84 x 10^{8} }{39^{2} }   = 742.3N

A 6.0 kg metal ball moving at 4.0 m/s hits a 6.0 kg ball of putty at rest and sticks to it. The two go on at 2.0 m/s.
lutik1710 [3]

The metal ball lost energy while the putty ball gained energy.

<h3>What is momentum?</h3>

Momentum is the product of mass and velocity of the body. We must note that momentum before collision is equal to momentum after collision.

1) Kinetic energy before collision = 1/2mv^2 = 0.5 * 6 * 4 = 12 J

2) kinetic energy after collision = 0.5 * 6 *  2= 6 J

3) Kinetic energy of putty ball = 0.5 * 6 *  2= 6 J

4) Energy lost by the metal ball = 12 J -  6 J = 6 J

5) Energy gained by the putty ball = 6 J - 0J = 6 J

6) The rest of the energy was converted to heat after the collision.

A 500-N weight sits on the small piston of a hydraulic machine. The small piston has area 2.0 cm2. If the large piston has area
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

W₂= 10000 N

Explanation:

Pascal´s Principle can be applied in the hydraulic press:

If we apply a small force (F1) on a small area piston A1, then, a pressure (P) is generated that is transmitted equally to all the particles of the liquid until it reaches a larger area piston and therefore a force (F2) can be exerted that is proportional to the area (A2) of the piston:

Pressure is defined as the force (F) applied per unit area (A)

P=F/A   (N/m²)

P1=P2

\frac{F_{1} }{A_{1} } = \frac{F_{2} }{A_{2} }

F_{2} = \frac{F_{1}*A_{2}  }{A_{1}}  Equation (1)

Data

W₁ = weight sits on the small piston

F₁ = W₁= 500 N

A₁ = 2.0 cm²

A₂ = 40 cm²

Calculation of the weight  (W₂) can the large piston support

We replace data in the equation (1)

F_{2} = \frac{(500)*(40) }{2}

F₂ = 10000 N

W₂= F₂= 10000 N

Radio wave radiation falls in the wavelength region of 10.0 to 1000 meters. What is the energy of radio wave radiation that has
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Wavelength of radiation \lambda =784\ m

We know Energy of wave with wavelength \lambda is given by

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda }

where h=Planck's constant

c=velocity of light

\lambda=wavelength of wave

E=\frac{6.626\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{784}

E=2.53\times 10^{-28}\ J

Hence the energy of the wave with wavelength 784 m is 2.53\times 10^{-28}\ J
