Answer:

The vector sum of all forces acting on it is zero, its at equilibrium.

Explanation:

The bag of marbles hanging on a spring scale applies its weight downwards, which was counterbalanced by the reaction from the spring scale (obeying the Newton's third law of motion). And since no external forces are applied to the system, thus the equilibrium of the system.

If the weight of the bag is greater than the reaction from the spring scale, the scale breaks and the system would not be balanced.

An irrigation canal has a rectangular cross section. At one point whare the canal is 16.0 m wide, and the water is 3.8 m deep, t

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

The depth of the water at this point is 0.938 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

At one point

Wide= 16.0 m

Deep = 3.8 m

Water flow = 2.8 cm/s

At a second point downstream

Width of canal = 16.5 m

Water flow = 11.0 cm/s

We need to calculate the depth

Using Bernoulli theorem

$A_{1}V_{1}=A_{2}V_{2}$

Put the value into the formula

$16.0\times3.8\times2.8=16.5\times x\times 11.0$

$x=\dfrac{16.0\times3.8\times2.8}{16.5\times11.0}$

$x=0.938\ m$

Hence, The depth of the water at this point is 0.938 m.

The star Rho1 Cancri is 57 light-years from the earth and has a mass 0.85 times that of our sun. A planet has been detected in a

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

82780.42123 m/s

14.45 days

Explanation:

m = Mass of the planet

M = Mass of the star = $0.85\times 1.989\times 10^{30}\ kg=1.69065\times 10^{30}\ kg$

r = Radius of orbit of planet = $0.11\times 149.6\times 10^{9}\ m=16.456\times 10^{9}\ m$

v = Orbital speed

The kinetic and potential energy balance is given by

$\frac{GMm}{r^2}=\frac{mv^2}{r}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\dfrac{Gm}{r}}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 1.69065\times 10^{30}}{16.456\times 10^{9}}}\\\Rightarrow v=82780.42123\ m/s$

The orbital speed of the star is 82780.42123 m/s

The orbital period is given by

$t=\frac{2\pi r}{v}\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{2\pi \times 16.456\times 10^{9}}{82780.42123}\\\Rightarrow t=1249040.48419\ seconds=\dfrac{1249040.48419}{24\times 60\times 60}=14.45\ days$

The orbital period is 14.45 days
