Eddi Din [679]3 years ago

Answer:

Mercury and Venus do not have moons. This is because any moon orbiting around them would be in an unstable orbit and would most likely be swallowed by the mammoth gravitational pull of our solar system’s mighty Sun. Whenever we look up at the night sky, we see a greyish-white object hung brightly among thousands of other visible stars.

Answer:

Most likely because they are too close to the Sun. Any moon with too great a distance from these planets would be in an unstable orbit and be captured by the Sun. If they were too close to these planets they would be destroyed by tidal gravitational forces.

Answer True or Flase1-Electric potential due to a uniform E field doesn’t change with location.2-The equipotential surfaces asso
TEA [102]

Answer:

1. False

2. True

3. True

Explanation:

1- False —> The relation between electric potential and electric field is given such that

-\int\limits^a_b \vec{E}d\vec{l} = V_{ab}

Therefore, for a uniform E field, electric potential is linearly proportional to the distance.

2- True —> The electric field lines always cross the equipotential lines perpendicularly.

3- True —> In order to be a potential difference, one source of electric field is enough. The electric potential will decrease radially according to the following formula:

V = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{q}{r^2}

There is no test charge in the formula, only the source charge. Even when there is no test charge, the potential difference between points in space can exist.

The sound intensity at a distance 2.00 m from a sound source is 5.00 Find the total sound energy emitted by the source in each s
notka56 [123]

Answer:

     P = 251, 3 W

Explanation:

The intensity is defined as the power emitted per unit area

           I = P / A

Since sound is distributed in all directions spherical shape, the area of ​​a sphere is

           A = 4π r²

let's clear the power and replace

         P = I A

         P = I (4π r²)

let's calculate

         P = 5.00 (4π 2²)

         P = 251, 3 W

scoray [572]

Answer:

W = 506.75 N

Explanation:

tension = 2300 N

Rider is towed at a constant speed means there no net force acting on the rider.

hence taking all the horizontal force and vertical force in consideration.

net horizontal  force:

F cos 30° - T cos 19° = 0

F cos 30° = 2300 × cos 19°

F = 2511.12 N

net vertical force:

F sin 30° - T sin 19°- W = 0

W = F sin 30° - T sin 19°

W =  2511.12 sin 30° - 2300 sin 19°

W = 506.75 N

Un contenedor de 1800 N está en reposo sobre un plano inclinado a 28°, el coeficiente de fricción entre el contenedor y el plano
babunello [35]

Answer:

F = 1480.77N

Explanation:

In order to calculate the required force to push the container with a constant velocity, you take into account the the sum of force on the container is equal to zero. Furthermore, you have for an incline the following sum of forces:

F-Wsin\alpha-F_r=0\\\\F-Wsin\alpha-N\mu cos\alpha=0\\\\F-Wsin\alpha-W\mu cos\alpha=0     (1)

F: required force = ?

W: weight of the container = 1800N

N: normal force = weigth

α: angle of the incline = 28°

g: gravitational acceleration = 9.8m/s^2

μ: coefficient of friction = 0.4

You solve the equation (1) for F and replace the values of the other parameters:

F=W(sin\alpha+\mu cos\alpha)\\\\F=(1800N)(sin28\°+(0.4)cos28\°)=1480.77N

The required force to push the container for the incline with a constant velocity is 1480.77N
