Force due to gravity. While JWST is in orbit, the Earth will be at a distance of 1.494 x 109 m from the telescope, and the Sun w

ill be 1.49598 x 1011 m further away, in the same direction. The mass of the Sun is 1.9884 x 1030 kg, the mass of the Earth is 5.945 x 1024 kg, and the mass of JWST will be about 6500 kg. a. What is the gravitational force JWST will feel from the Sun (strength and direction)

Answer:

the gravitational force JWST will feel from the Sun is 37.785 Newton { leftward }

Explanation:

Given that;

distance of earth from the telescope r1 = 1.494 × 10⁹ m

and the Sun will be 1.49598 × 10¹¹ m further away

so r2 = r1 + 1.49598 × 10¹¹

r2 = 1.494 × 10⁹ m + 1.49598 × 10¹¹ m = 1.51092 × 10¹¹ m

mass of sun Ms = 1.9884 × 10³⁰ kg

mass of earth Me = 5.945× 10²⁴ kg

mass of JWST Mj = 6500 kg

What is the gravitational force JWST will feel from the Sun (strength and direction)?

the gravitational force of the sun will be attractive based on Newton law of gravitational force; so

Fjs = GMjMs / r2²

constant G = 6.674 × 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg²

Force on the JWST by the sun will be;

Fjs = GMjMs / r2² { leftward}

we substitute

Fjs = [(6.674 × 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg²)(6500 kg )(1.9884 × 10³⁰ kg)] / (1.51092 × 10¹¹ m)²

=  (8.62587804 × 10²³) / ( 2.28287925 × 10²² )

= 37.785 Newton { leftward }

Therefore, the gravitational force JWST will feel from the Sun is 37.785 Newton { leftward }

You run a race with your friend. At first you each have the same kinetic energy, but then you find that she is beating you. When
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

52.49 Kg

Explanation:

Let m1 and v1 denote your mass and velocity respectively

Let m2 and v2 denote your friends mass and velocity respectively

Kinetic energy is given by

KE= 0.5mv^{2}  

Since your kinetic energies are the same hence

0.5m1(v1)^{2}=0.5m2(v2)^{2}

m1(v1)^{2}=m2(v2)^{2} and making m2 the subject then  

m2=\frac { m1(v1)^{2}}{(v2)^{2}}

Since v2 is v1+0.28v1=1.28v1

Substituting m1 for 86 Kg

m2=\frac { 86 Kg(v1)^{2}}{(1.28v1)^{2}}= 52.49023\approx 52.49 Kg

Catalytic ozone destruction occurs in the stratosphere by a two-step reaction:
Sladkaya [172]
Catalytic ozone destruction occurs in the stratosphere where the reactions involving bromine, chlorine, hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen gases form compounds that destroy the ozone layer. The reactions uses a catalyst (speeds up the reaction) in a two step reaction. considering chlorine the reactions appears as follows;
step 1
 Cl + O3 = ClO + O2 
 step 2
ClO + O = Cl + O2 
Where by chlorine is released to destroy the ozone layer, this takes place many times even with the other elements (hydrogen, bromine, nitrogen) and the end result is a completely destroyed Ozone layer
