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 }

A block whose weight is 45 N rests on a horizontal table. A horizontal force of 36 N is applied to the block. The coefficient of
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

1.5 m/s²

Explanation:

For the block to move, it must first overcome the static friction.

Fs = N μs

Fs = (45 N) (0.42)

Fs = 18.9 N

This is less than the 36 N applied, so the block will move.  Since the block is moving, kinetic friction takes over.  To find the block's acceleration, use Newton's second law:

∑F = ma

F − N μk = ma

36 N − (45 N) (0.65) = (45 N / 9.8 m/s²) a

6.75 N = 4.59 kg a

a = 1.47 m/s²

Rounded to two significant figures, the block's acceleration is 1.5 m/s².

Usually the coefficient of static friction is greater than the coefficient of kinetic friction.  You might want to double check the problem statement, just to be sure.

A 1.40 mH inductor and a 1.00 µF capacitor are connected in series. The current in the circuit is described by I = 14.0 t, where
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Inductance L = 1.4 x 10⁻³ H

Capacitance C = 1 x 10⁻⁶ F

a )

current I = 14 .0 t

dI / dt  = 14

voltage across inductor

= L dI / dt

= 1.4 x 10⁻³ x 14

= 19.6 x 10⁻³ V

= 19.6 mV

It does not depend upon time because it is constant at 19.6 mV.

b )

Voltage across capacitor

V = ∫ dq / C

= 1 / C ∫ I dt  

= 1 / C ∫ 14 t dt

1 / C x 14 t² / 2

= 7 t² / C

= 7 t² / 1 x 10⁻⁶

c ) Let after time t energy stored in capacitor becomes equal the energy stored in capacitance

energy stored in inductor

= 1/2 L I²

energy stored in capacitor

= 1/2 CV²

After time t

1/2 L I² = 1/2 CV²

L I² =  CV²

L x ( 14 t )² = C x  ( 7 t² / C )²

L x 196 t² = 49 t⁴ / C

t² = CL x 196 / 49

t = 74.8 μ s

After 74.8 μ s energy stored in capacitor exceeds that of inductor.

kari74 [83]

Answer:

People firstly believe that the planets move in a circular orbit until Newton came up with his hypothesis by inventing calculus so that we could understood and calculated planetary orbits and their accuracy.

Explanation:

  • Everyone assumed the planets were perfect circles until Newton came up with an idea. Slowly people would make maps of the orbits that added circles on circles, and they could never really explain about the movement of the planet. They simply say that planets move on circles but they lacked the math to explain or prove it. Then Newton came up with an idea of inventing calculus so that we could understood and calculated planetary orbits and their accuracy.
  • Firstly people used their observations and say that the orbits looked like circles, then they developed their models and did the math, and proposed their hypothesizes which were wrong, until Newton came along and tried to match a model that used elliptical orbits and invented the math that allowed him to make predictions with it. His model worked for most planets.
  • However he could not explain about the planet Mercury for instance since it was a very strange orbit. Then after the Einstein's theory of General Relativity he could also explain very deeply about it.
  • Scientists and Astronomers made hypothesizes that there was another planet orbiting too close to the sun to see with telescopes, called Vulcan, that explained mercury's orbit before Einstein's theory. Then long after we had telescopes which was good enough to see if there was a planet orbiting closer to the sun than mercury.

Which of the following are evidence for the big bang theory
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

Big Bang theory has occurred because about two thousand million years ago, a star came close to the sun. The molten mass on it melted and formed a huge mountain. Due to the high pressure, the star repelled back and the mountain separated into pieces. These pieces started revolving aound the sun and are known as planets. The existence of these planets is known as big bang theory.
