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 }

Pavel [41]

Answer:

F=27.39N

Explanation:

Take sum of torques at the point the step touches the wheel, that eliminates two torques

ΣT=T_{N}+T_{f}+T_{W}

Since we are looking for when the wheel just starts to rise up N-> 0 so no torque due to normal force

T_{N}=0

The perpendicular lever arm for the F force is R-h

T_{f}=F*(r-h)

And the T of gravity according to the image

T_{W}=W*(\sqrt{r^2-(r-h)^2}

ΣT=0

T_{N}+T_{f}+T_{W}=0

F*(r-h)+W*(\sqrt{r^2-(r-h)^2}=0

F=\frac{W*(\sqrt{r^2-(r-h)^2}}{r-h}

F=\frac{24.9 N*(\sqrt{0.336^2-(0.336-0.110)^2}}{(0.336-0.11)}

F=27.39N

A 1-kg iron frying pan is placed on a stove. The pan increases from 20°C to 250°C. If the same amount of heat is added to a pan
Nesterboy [21]

Answer;

The temperature change for the second pan will be lower compared to the temperature change of the first pan

Explanation;

-The quantity of heat is given by multiplying mass by specific heat and by temperature change.

That is; Q = mcΔT

This means; the quantity of heat depends on the mass, specific heat capacity of a substance and also the change in temperature.

-Maintaining the same quantity of heat, with another pan of the same mass and greater specific heat capacity would mean that the change in temperature would be much less lower.
