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 }

Answer:

F = 39.2 N

Explanation:

Since, the object is in uniform motion. Therefore, the frictional force on object will be:

Frictional Force = μk N = μk mg

where,

μk = coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.2

m = mass of crate = 10 kg

g = 9.8 m/s²

Therefore,

Frictional Force = (0.2)(10 kg)(9.8 m/s²)

Frictional Force = 19.6 N

The horizontal component of force must be equal to this frictional force to continue the uniform motion:

F Sin 30° = 19.6 N

F = 19.6 N/Sin 30°

<u>F = 39.2 N</u>

At high speeds, a particular automobile is capable of an acceleration of about 0.540 m/s^2. At this rate, how long (in seconds)
Mama L [17]

Answer:

t = 6.68 seconds

Explanation:

The acceleration of the automobile, a=0.54\ m/s^2

Initial speed of the automobile, u = 91 km/hr = 25.27 m/s

Final speed of the automobile, v = 104 km/hr = 28.88 m/s

Let t is the time taken to accelerate from u to v. It can be calculated as the following formula as :

t=\dfrac{v-u}{a}

t=\dfrac{28.88-25.27}{0.54}

t = 6.68 seconds

So, the time taken by the automobile to accelerate from u to v is 6.68 seconds. Hence, this is the required solution.
