Answer:

r = 1.63×10^5 mi

Explanation:

Let r = distance of object from earth

Rs = distance between earth and sun

Ms = mass of the sun

= 3.24×10^5 Me (Me = mass of earth)

At a distance R from earth, the force Fs exerted by the sun on the object is equal to the force Fe exerted by the earth on the object. Using Newton's universal law of gravitation,

Fs = Fe

GmMs/(Rs - r)^2 = GmMe/r^2

This simplifies to

Ms/(Rs - r)^2 = Me/r^2

(3.24×10^5 Me)/(Rs - r)^2 = Me/r^2

Taking the reciprocal and then its square root, this simplifies further to

Rs - r = (569.2)r ----> Rs = 570.2r

or

r = Rs/570.2 = (9.3×10^7 mi)/570.2

= 1.63×10^5 mi

A(n) 93 kg clock initially at rest on a horizontal floor requires a(n) 617 N horizontal force to set it in motion. After the clo
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

\mu_s = 0.676

Explanation:

As we know that the force required to move the clock from rest position must be equal to the maximum limiting friction

So we will have

F = F_f

now we know that

F_f = \mu_s Mg

here we will have

F = 617 N

m = 93 kg

now from above formula we will have

617 = \mu_s (93)(9.81)

\mu_s = 0.676

A very long insulating cylinder of charge of radius 2.60 cm carries a uniform linear density of 15.0 nC/m . Part A If you put on
fenix001 [56]

Given Information:  

Radius = ra = 2.60 cm = 0.026 m

Density = J = 15.0 nC/m

change in potential difference = ΔV = 200 V

Required Information:  

Distance = d = ?

Answer:

distance = 0.088 m

Explanation:

As we know

ΔV = Vb - Va = J/4πε₀*ln(rb/ra)

Where ra and rb is the point where potential difference is Va and Vb respectively

1/4πε₀ = 9x10⁹ N.m²/C²

We want to find the distance d = rb - ra

ΔV = J/4πε₀*ln(rb/ra)

200 = 9x10⁹*15x10⁻⁹*ln(rb/ra)

200/135 = ln(rb/ra)

1.48 = ln(rb/ra)

taking e on both sides yields

e^(1.48) = rb/ra

4.39 = rb/ra

rb = 4.39*0.026

rb = 0.114 m

Therefore, the required distance is

d = rb - ra

d = 0.114 - 0.026

d = 0.088 m

Therefore, the other probe must be placed 0.088 m from the surface so that the voltmeter reads 200 V
