Answer:

Approximately 5.19 \times 10^{-5}\; \rm N.

Explanation:

Let G denote the gravitational constant. (G \approx 6.67 \times 10^{-11} \; \rm N \cdot kg^{-2} \cdot m^{2}.)

Let M and m denote the mass of two objects separated by r.

By Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation, the gravitational attraction between these two objects would measure:

\displaystyle F = \frac{G \cdot M \cdot m}{r^{2}}.

In this question: M = 7 \times 10^{22}\; \rm kg is the mass of the moon, while m = 1\; \rm kg is the mass of the water. The two are r = 3\times 10^{5}\; \rm km apart from one another.

Important: convert the unit of r to standard units (meters, not kilometers) to reflect the unit of the gravitational constant G.

\displaystyle r = 3 \times 10^{5}\; \rm km \times \frac{10^{3}\; \rm m}{1\; \rm km} = 3 \times 10^{8}\; \rm m.

\begin{aligned} F &= \frac{G \cdot M \cdot m}{r^{2}} \\ &= \frac{6.67 \times 10^{-11}\; \rm N \cdot kg^{-2}\cdot m^{2} \times 7 \times 10^{22}\; \rm kg \times 1\; \rm kg}{(3 \times 10^{8}\; \rm m)^{2}} \\ &\approx 5.19 \times 10^{-5} \; \rm N\end{aligned}.

You are watching an archery tournament when you start wondering how fast an arrow is shot from the bow. Remembering your physics
lianna [129]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

<em><u>Velocity of throwing arrow = 43.13 m/s.</u></em>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

In the question,

Let us say the height from which the arrow was shot = h

Distance traveled by the arrow in horizontal = 61 m

Angle made by the arrow with the ground = 2°

So,

From the <u>equations of the motion</u>,

61 =u.t\\t=\frac{61}{u}

Now,

Also,

Finally, the angle made is 2 degrees with the horizontal.

So,

Final horizontal velocity = v.cos20°

Final vertical velocity = v.sin20°

Now,

u = v.cos20° (No acceleration in horizontal)

Also,

v=u+at\\vsin20=0+9.8(t)\\t=\frac{v.sin20}{9.8}

So,

We can say that,

\frac{v.sin20}{9.8}=\frac{61}{v.cos20}\\v^{2}.sin20.cos20=597.8\\v^{2}=1860.56\\v=43.13\,m/s

<em><u>Therefore, the velocity with which the arrow was shot by the archer is 43.13 m/s.</u></em>

Which takes place as water cycles from the bottom of the pot toward the top?
Elenna [48]
The option that takes place as water cycles from the bottom of the pot toward the top is that A. thermal energy is transferred. 
As the pot gets warmer and warmer, the heat flows everywhere inside the pot, ultimately reaching the top, and heating the water at the top as well. There is no chemical energy here, and molecules don't gain thermal energy, it is just transferred to the top of the pot.

A railroad track and a road cross at right angles. An observer stands on the road and watches an eastbound train traveling at 60
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

After 4 s of passing through the intersection, the train travels with 57.6 m/s

Solution:

As per the question:

Suppose the distance to the south of the crossing watching the east bound train be x = 70 m

Also, the east bound travels as a function of time and can be given as:

y(t) = 60t

Now,

To calculate the speed, z(t) of the train as it passes through the intersection:

Since, the road cross at right angles, thus by Pythagoras theorem:

z(t) = \sqrt{x^{2} + y(t)^{2}}

z(t) = \sqrt{70^{2} + 60t^{2}}

Now, differentiate the above eqn w.r.t 't':

\frac{dz(t)}{dt} = \frac{1}{2}.\frac{1}{sqrt{3600t^{2} + 4900}}\times 2t\times 3600

\frac{dz(t)}{dt} = \frac{1}{sqrt{3600t^{2} + 4900}}\times 3600t

For t = 4 s:

\frac{dz(4)}{dt} = \frac{1}{sqrt{3600\times 4^{2} + 4900}}\times 3600\times 4 = 57.6\ m/s

A number is written in scientific notation when it is the product of a number less than 10 but greater than or equal to 1 and a
Bess [88]

Answer:

Mass = 1.99 * 10^{30} kg

Explanation:

Given

Mass = 1,990,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000\ kg

Required

Rewrite using scientific notation

The format of a number in scientific notation is

Digit = a * 10^n

Where 1 \geq\ a\geq\ 10

So the given parameter can be rewritten as

Mass = 1.99 * 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000\ kg

Express as a power of 10

Mass = 1.99 * 10^{30} kg

Hence, the equivalent of the mass of the sun in scientific notation is:

Mass = 1.99 * 10^{30} kg
