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

In a paragraph, contrast the characteristics between anorexia and bulimia
FinnZ [79.3K]
Bulimia nervosa is similar in many ways because the individual is obsessed with their weight and wants to continuously lose weight to achieve their idea of a 'perfect' body shape. But with bulimia, there are periods of binging and purging. This means that the individual with bulimia may go through a period where they eat an excessive amount of food and then purge by using exercise, medications or vomiting to get rid of the food.

You are pushing a rock along level ground and making the rock speed up. How does the size of the force you exert on the rock com
Aneli [31]

Answer:

The forces are of the same magnitude just opposite directions

Explanation:

Newton's Third law tells us that if body A exerts a force on body B, then B exerts an equal but opposite force on body B. so as you continue to push the rock causing it to accelerate, the rock also continues to push back at you by an equal force in the opposite direction.

A person is walking briskly in a straight line. The figure shows a graph of the person’s position x as a function of time t. Wha
Nina [5.8K]

The average velocity over the interval 6\le t\le 10 is

\dfrac{x(10)-x(6)}{10\,\mathrm s-6\,\mathrm s}=\dfrac{6\,\mathrm m-2.67\,\mathrm m}{4\,\mathrm s}=0.8325\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}

where x(t) is the person's position at time t. I've taken the liberty of estimating x(6)\approx2.67\,\mathrm m. The closest choice among the answers is 0.8\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}.
