Answer:

1.47×10¯⁸ N

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass (m) = 1.5×10¯⁹ Kg

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Force (F) =?

The force of the snowflake can be obtained by using the following formula:

F = mg

Where:

F => is the force

m => is the mass

g => is the acceleration due to gravity

F = mg

F = 1.5×10¯⁹ × 9.8

F = 1.47×10¯⁸ N

Thus the force of the snowflake is 1.47×10¯⁸ N

Bas_tet [7]
The reason why there is no energy shortage nor will there ever be is because energy is being preserved and conserved and only changes form. It never gets lost or increased.

How much energy is required to raise the temperature of 50.0 grams of water 10.0 degree C? (Explain yourself answer in joules!)
maria [59]

The amount of energy needed is 2093 J

Explanation:

The amount of energy needed to increase the temperature of a substance by \Delta T is given by the equation

Q=mC\Delta T

where

m is the mass of the substance

C is its specific heat capacity

\Delta T is the increase in temperature

For the water in this problem, we have

m = 50.0 g = 0.050 kg

C=4186 J/g^{\circ}C (specific heat capacity of water)

\Delta T=10.0^{\circ}C

Therefore, the amount of energy needed is

Q=(0.050)(4186)(10)=2093 J

The density of sodium is 968 g/cm3. Suppose you need 250 gm of sodium for an experiment. Which volume of sodium do you need?
Masja [62]
The formula for the density of a substance expressed in mass and volume is rho = mass/volume or p = m/v. Rearranging the formula to isolate volume gives the formula v = m/p. To solve for the problem given, this formula must be used. This gives a solution of:

v = m/p = 250 g/ 968 g/cm^3 = 0.258 cm^3 of sodium

The copper wire and bulb is connected in a series with 220 V electric supply. Why only an electric bulb glows where as the coppe
Sveta_85 [38]
-- In a series circuit, the current ( I ) is the same at every point.

-- The power dissipated by any section of the circuit is I² x Resistance.

-- The wire has very low resistance, so I²R is very low dissipated power.

-- The filament in the bulb has most all of the resistance in the circuit,
so it dissipates virtually all the power of the circuit, and certainly much
more than the wires do.

when is the angular momentum of a system constant? when is the angular momentum of a system constant? when no net external torqu
IRISSAK [1]

when no net external torque acts on the system then the angular momentum of a system becomes constant. In mechanics and physics, a torque is the spinning counterpart to a force.

The rotating counterpart of linear momentum in physics is called angular momentum. Given that the total angular momentum is conserved, or remains constant in a closed system, it is an important physical quantity. Angular momentum is conserved in both its magnitude and direction. Bicycles, motorcycles, frisbees, rifled bullets, and gyroscopes are all useful objects thanks to the conservation of angular momentum.

The torque is the ratio of the force's magnitude to the angle at which its line of action is perpendicular to the axis of rotation. The cross product of the position vector and the torque, a three-dimensional pseudovector, yields the torque for point particles.
