Answer:

<em>The distance between the compact car and pickup truck is 0.96048 m</em>

Explanation:

The gravitational force is directly proportional to the product of the masses of the interacting object, it is also inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.  This is shown in equation 1;

F =G \frac{m_{1} X m_{2}  }{d^{2} }............ 1

Where F is the gravitational force = 0.0001 N

G is the gravitational constant = 6.673 x 10^{-11} Nm^{2} kg^{-2}

m_{1}  is the mass of the compact car = 900kg

m_{2} is the mass of the pickup truck = 1600kg

d is the distance and its unknown ?

Let us make d the subject formula in equation 1

d = \sqrt{G\frac{m_{1} m_{2}  }{F  } } .... 2

Substituting into equation 2 we have

d = \sqrt{\frac{6.673x10^{-11} x  900 x 1600}{0.0001N} }

d = 0.96048m

Therefore the distance between the compact car and pickup truck is 0.96048 m

Answer:

The distance is 0.96m

Explanation:

Given

m1= 900kg

m2= 1600kg

Force F= 0.0001nN

G=6.67430*10^-11 Nm^2/kg^2

Required

The distance r

Step two:

the formula for the force is given as

F = Gm1m2/r2

make r subject of the formula

r= \sqrt{\frac{Gm1m2}{F} }

r= \sqrt{\frac{6.67430*10^-11*900*1600}{0.0001} }\\\\r= 0.00009610992/0.0001`}\\\\r= 0.96m

When you jump, you push down on the earth and it pushes back up against you. The earth pushing up against you is what causes you
MissTica

That's a great question !

The answer is:<em> It does !</em>

A push on an object causes the object to <u><em>accelerate</em></u> in the direction of the force.  

The <em>less</em> mass the object has, the <em>more</em> the force accelerates it.

Now, when you jump, the forces on you and on the Earth are equal forces.

The up force on you causes you to accelerate up by some amount.

The down force on the Earth causes the Earth to accelerate down by some amount.

The Earth's mass is something like 5,972,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 kg, while your mass is something like 50 kg.

The Earth has something like 119,400,000,000,000,000,000,000 <em>times</em> as much mass as you have.

So your acceleration is something like 119,400,000,000,000,000,000,000 <em>times as great as the Earth's acceleration.</em>

==> The Earth's downward acceleration, caused by your jump, is there.  It's just too small to notice.

<em>BUT . . .</em> That's the reason why seismometers (instruments to detect and measure the vibrations from distant earthquakes) have to be located as far as possible from cities and busy roads.

In places that are too close to cities and roads, the Earth's surface is always vibrating, wiggling, jiggling, heaving and weaving, in reaction to the forces of people walking around, cars and trucks driving around, even rain falling down.  And kids jumping up and down !  

In such places, these people-motions are louder and stronger than the vibrations coming from distant earthquakes.  Seismometers wouldn't work there.

this is a 3 part questionOn vacation, your 1400-kg car pulls a 560-kg trailer away from a stoplight with an acceleration of 1.85
mamaluj [8]

ANSWER:

(a) 1036 N

(b) -1036 N

(c) 2590 N

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

Given:

Mc = 1400 kg

Mt = 560 kg

a = 1.85 m/s^2

(a)

Force by car on trailer:

\begin{gathered} F_c=m\cdot a \\ F_c=560\cdot1.85 \\ F_c=1036\text{ N} \end{gathered}

(b)

\begin{gathered} F_t=-F_c \\ F_t=-1036\text{ N} \end{gathered}

(c)

\begin{gathered} F_n=1400\cdot1.85 \\ F_n=2590\text{ N} \end{gathered}

4. How does the type of medium affect a sound wave?
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

The type of medium affects a sound wave as sound travels with the help of the vibration in particles.

Explanation:

As different mediums have different amount and size of particles, for example, the speed of sound is faster through solid than liquid as solids have closely packed particles whereas liquids are loosely packed.
