Answer:

18N

Explanation:

Mechanical Advantage of crowbar (lever), MA = Length of effort arm / Length of resistance arm

Therefore, MA = 28 cm / 4.2 cm = 6.667

Force required to pull the nail, F = Friction force / MA

ie, F = 120 N / 6.667 = 18 N

We have compared the Terrestrial Planets and the Giant or Jovian Planets, but when we look at the 4 Giant Planets we can see tha
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

i. Magnetic fields

ii. All 4 planets in appearance have deeper atmospheres and darker cloud.

iii. All the 4 Jovian planets rotates very quickly, with a range of 10 to 17 hours.

Explanation:

The Jovian planets is different from terrestrial planets in so many ways. The Jovian planets includes Jupiter , Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.

The major similarities shared by all of these 4 planets includes

i. Magnetic fields: Each of this Jovian planets have a strong magnetic field and are generated by electric currents in its rapidly sniping interior. The magnetosphere which is the region at which the planet magnetic field dominates is far more stronger in Jupiter than other Jovian planets . Although the magnetic field of Saturn , Neptune and Uranus works in similar way to Jupiter  but are less stronger.

ii. All 4 planets in appearance have deeper atmospheres and darker cloud. The  uppermost clouds of Jupiter and Saturn has more of ammonia crystals .The upper cloud of Neptune is composed of methane, The cloud of  Uranus is deep.  

iii. All the 4 Jovian planets rotates very quickly, with a range of 10 to 17 hours. The rotation period of Jupiter is the shortest among the Jovian planets which is around 9 hours 55 minutes. The rotation period of Neptune and Uranus take longer time than the other 2 Jovian planets( a little above 17 hours).

In her hand, a softball pitcher swings a ball of mass 0.245 kg around a vertical circular path of radius 59.8 cm before releasin
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

The velocity is v_b = 20.17 \ m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The mass of the ball is  m = 0.245 \ kg

   The radius is  r =  59.8 \  cm  =  0.598 \ m

   The force is  F =  30.9 \ N

   The speed of the ball is  v = 16.0 \ m/s.

Generally the kinetic energy at the top of the circle is mathematically represented as

    K_t  =  \frac{1}{2} *  m  *  v^2

=> K_t  =  \frac{1}{2} *  0.245   *  16.0 ^2  

=> K_t  =  31.36 \ J  

Generally the work done by the force applied on the ball from the top to the bottom  is mathematically represented as

       W =  F *  d

Here  d is the length of  a semi - circular arc which is mathematically represented as

       d =  \pi * r

So

      W =  30.9 *  0.598

      W = 18.48 \ J

Generally the kinetic energy at the bottom is mathematically represented as

      K_b  =  \frac{1}{2} *  m *  v_b^2

=>    K_b  =  \frac{1}{2} *  0.245  *  v_b^2

=>   K_b  =  0.1225  *  v_b^2

From the law of energy conservation

     K_t +  W  =K_b

=>    31.36+  18.48 = 0.1225  *  v_b^2

=>    v_b = 20.17 \ m/s
