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

Is there any machine that is 100% efficient? why?why not
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

No, it's not there.

Explanation:

For a machine to be 100% efficient, it has to be with an output which is equal to its input. But machines have an out put less than an input, hence efficiency below 100%.

3. A 142 g baseball is thrown at a speed of 42.9 m/s. What is the kinetic energy of the baseball at this moment?
krok68 [10]
Kinetic energy=1/2mv^2
=1/2(142*10^-3)(42.9)^2=130.6=131J
