Answer: the external agent must do work equal to -1.3 × 10⁻⁸ J

Explanation:

Given that;

Mass M1 = 7.0 kg

r = 3.0/2 m = 1.5 m

Mass M2 = 21 kg

we know that G = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ N.m²/kg²

work done by an external agent W = -2GM2M1 / r

so we substitute

W = (-2 × 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ × 21 × 7) / 1.5

W = -1.96098 × 10⁻⁸ / 1.5

W = -1.3 × 10⁻⁸ J

Therefore the external agent must do work equal to -1.3 × 10⁻⁸ J

If this atom has a balanced charged, how many protons would you expect to find in this atom?
avanturin [10]
The answer would be C because there is six electrons and so there will be six protons because the amount of protons and electrons have to be the same otherwise it would be an unbalanced particle and you wouldn't be able to touch the object it is in without worrying about something happening

<span><span>anonymous </span> 4 years ago</span>Any time you are mixing distance and acceleration a good equation to use is <span>ΔY=<span>V<span>iy</span></span>t+1/2a<span>t2</span></span> I would split this into two segments - the rise and the fall. For the fall, Vi = 0 since the player is at the peak of his arc and delta-Y is from 1.95 to 0.890. For the upward part of the motion the initial velocity is unknown and the final velocity is zero, but motion is symetrical - it takes the same amount of time to go up as it does to go down. Physiscists often use the trick "I'm going to solve a different problem, that I know will give me the same answer as the one I was actually asked.) So for the first half you could also use Vi = 0 and a downward delta-Y to solve for the time. Add the two times together for the total. The alternative is to calculate the initial and final velocity so that you have more information to work with.
