As the distance between the sun and earth decreases, the speed of the planet

Answer:

Explanation:

Increases. The force of gravity is distance dependent. Therefore, a smaller 'r' value will result in a larger force. Net force is proportional to the acceleration, so the planet will increase its speed.

A gate at the bottom of a dam is 10 ft tall by 30 ft wide. The specific weight of the water is 62.4 lbf/ft3. If the water is 50
Burka [1]

Answer:

The total force is most nearly 940,000lbf

Explanation:

Total force = specific weight × volume

Volume = length × width × depth = 10ft × 30ft × 50ft = 15,000ft^3

Total force = 62.4lbf/ft^3 × 15,000ft^3 = 936,000lbf which is most nearly 940,000lbf

The earth's gravity is pulling on you. Are you pulling on the earth? Explain why or why not.
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

"we both attract each other with the same force but we know that attraction between two bodies depends upon their mass, greater the mass of two bodies is the force of attraction between them"(got this off the internet).

A football player is running with a velocity or 10 m/s. At that velocity, his momentum is 2500 kg*m/s. What is the football play
DedPeter [7]

The mass of the football player is 250 kg.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Momentum is defined as the product of mass and velocity. So here the velocity (v) is given as 10 m/s and the momentum is given as 2500 kg m /s. So we can determine the mass (m) of the player by substituting the known terms in the formula of determining momentum as shown below.

             \text {Momentum}(p)=m \times v

As we know the value of momentum and velocity, the mass can be found as,

             m=\frac{p}{v}=\frac{2500}{10}=250 \mathrm{kg}

Thus, the mass of the football player is found to be 250 kg.

8. Contrast. The energy that can be released during a nuclear fission reaction with the energy that can be released during a nuc
Cloud [144]
8) the energy released by fusion is generally 3 to 4 times larger than with fission.  Fission has very few by-products but fusion releases large amounts of radioactive particles because it starts with large nuclei.
9) Alpha particles are 2 protons and 2 neutrons all put together.  It's really the nucleus of a helium atom.  It is most dangerous if you ingest it but it can be stopped with a sheet of paper so outside the body it's not as dangerous as others and due to its size it can't get very far in the air before hitting air molecules
beta particles are high energy electrons or positrons.  They travel further due to their small size but can be stopped by a thin barrier of plastic or wood.
Gamma rays are high frequency photons (light)  They are stopped by metal plates and go through human tissue.  They are quite dangerous.
10) The mass that is lost in chemical reactions is very small. Solve E=mc² for mass and you get m=E/c².  This says the mass you lose is equal to the energy you gained divided by the speed of light squared.  c² is a VERY big number so you need a lot of energy produced to notice it.  Chemical reactions are simply too inefficient to get that much energy out.
11)You need high temperatures for fusion because you're trying to push two atoms together (to "fuse" them as the name suggests)  The electrons in one atom repel the other electrons in the other atoms.  When stripped down to only protons, you still have to overcome this repulsion (Coulomb repulsion).  High temperatures means high velocity of the particles in the plasma.  This gives them enough "oomph" to get close enough to fuse.  Once close enough to each other, the nuclear force takes over and overwhelms the Coulomb repulsion and the nuclei fuse and release energy in doing so.
