Allowing for a platform in which the box holds potential energy
Answer: the external agent must do work equal to -1.3 × 10⁻⁸ J
Explanation:
Given that;
Mass M1 = 7.0 kg
r = 3.0/2 m = 1.5 m
Mass M2 = 21 kg
we know that G = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ N.m²/kg²
work done by an external agent W = -2GM2M1 / r
so we substitute
W = (-2 × 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ × 21 × 7) / 1.5
W = -1.96098 × 10⁻⁸ / 1.5
W = -1.3 × 10⁻⁸ J
Therefore the external agent must do work equal to -1.3 × 10⁻⁸ J
Answer:
Very hot during the day and very cold at night.
Explanation:
Due to the thin atmosphere, they have very hot climate during the day time and very cold climate at night. This happens because they contain very low amounts of greenhouse gases. These gases retain the heat at night. The atmosphere also prevents excessive light and UV rays from entering. The thin atmosphere leads to many asteroids and comets hitting the surface of the planet. On earth, these asteroids usually, burn up in the mesosphere layer of the atmosphere. These asteroid collisions cause massive fires. This in turn, causes the temperature to increase during the day. During the night time, massive fires cannot burn due to the low temperature because of the lack of greenhouse gases.
The diagram is missing; however, we know that the intensity of a sound wave is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source:
where I is the intensity and r is the distance from the source.
We can assume for instance that the initial distance from the source is r=1 m, so that we put
The intensity at r=3 m will be
Therefore, the sound intensity has decreased by a factor
.
