A certain white dwarf star was once an average star like our Sun. But now it is in the last stage of its evolution and is the si

ze of our Moon but has the mass of our Sun.
Estimate gravity on the surface on this star.

I know the solution of this question it is as the picture shows but I only need to add *10^3 to the lower part of the division lower part to get the correct answer. But I don't know why I should add it can anyone explain?

Answer:

4.384 * 10^13

Explanation:

Given the expression :

[(6.67 * 10^-11) * (1.99 * 10^30)] ÷ [(1.74*10^3)*(1.74*10^3)]

Applying the laws of indices

[(6.67 * 1.99) *10^(-11 + 30)] ÷ [(1.74 * 1.74) * 10^3+3]

13.2733 * 10^19 ÷ 3.0276 * 10^6

(13.2733 / 3.0276) * 10^(19 - 6)

4.3840996 * 10^13

= 4.384 * 10^13

navik [9.2K]

An advertisement for an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) claims that the ATV can climb inclined slopes of 35°. The minimum coefficient of static friction needed for this claim to be possible is 0.7

In an inclined plane, the coefficient of static friction is the angle at which an object slide over another.

As the angle rises, the gravitational force component surpasses the static friction force, as such, the object begins to slide.

Using the Newton second law;

$\sum F_x = \sum F_y = 0$

$\mathbf{mg sin \theta -f_s= N-mgcos \theta = 0 }$

So; On the L.H.S

$\mathbf{mg sin \theta =f_s}$

$\mathbf{mg sin \theta =\mu_s N}$

On the R.H.S

N = mg cos θ

Equating both force component together, we have:

$\mathbf{mg sin \theta =\mu_s \ mg \ cos \theta}$

$\mathbf{sin \theta =\mu_s \ \ cos \theta}$

$\mathbf{\mu_s = \dfrac{sin \theta }{ cos \theta}}$

From trigonometry rule:

$\mathbf{tan \theta= \dfrac{sin \theta }{ cos \theta}}$

∴

$\mathbf{\mu_s =\tan \theta}}$

$\mathbf{\mu_s =\tan 35^0}}$

$\mathbf{\mu_s = 0.700}}$

Therefore, we can conclude that the minimum coefficient of static friction needed for this claim to be possible is 0.7

The gravitational force of a star on an orbiting planet 1 is f1. planet 2, which is three times as massive as planet 1 and orbit

Margaret [11]

Let us consider two bodies having masses m and m' respectively.

Let they are separated by a distance of r from each other.

As per the Newtons law of gravitation ,the gravitational force between two bodies is given as - $F = G\frac{mm'}{r^{2} }$ where G is the gravitational force constant.

From the above we see that F ∝ mm' and $F\alpha \frac{1}{r^{2} }$

Let the orbital radius of planet A is $r_{1}$ = r and mass of planet is $m_{1}$ .

Let the mass of central star is m .

Hence the gravitational force for planet A is $f_{1} =G \frac{m_{1}*m }{r^{2} }$

For planet B the orbital radius $r_{2} =2r_{1}$ and mass $m_{2} = 3 m_{1}$

Hence the gravitational force $f_{2} =G\frac{m m_{2} }{r^{2} }$

$f_{2} =G\frac{m*3m_{1} }{[2r_{1}] ^{2} }$

$= \frac{3}{4} G\frac{mm_{1} }{r_{1} ^{2} }$

Hence the ratio is $\frac{f_{2} }{f_{1} } = \frac{\frac{3}{4}G mm_{1/r_{1} ^2} }{Gmm_{1}/r_{1} ^2 }$

$=\frac{3}{4}$ [ ans]
