Force , F = ma

F = m(v - u)/t

Where m = mass in kg, v= final velocity in m/s, u = initial velocity in m/s
t = time, Force is in Newton.

m= 1.2*10³ kg, u = 10 m/s, v = 20 m/s, t = 5s

F = 1.2*10³(20 - 10)/5

F = 2.4*10³ N = 2400 N

Every few hundred years most of the planets line up on the same side of the Sun.(Figure 1)Calculate the total force on the Earth

mylen [45]

Answer: $3.7 \times 10^{-4} N$

Explanation:

The gravitational pull between two object is given by:

$F = G\frac{Mm}{r^2}$

Where M and m are the masses of the object, r is the distance between the masses and G = 6.67× 10⁻¹¹ m³kg⁻¹ s⁻² is the gravitational constant.

We have to calculate the net force on Earth due to Venus, Jupiter and Saturn when they are in one line. It means when they are the closest distance.

$F_{net] = G\frac{M_eM_v}{r_v^2}+G\frac{M_eM_j}{r_j^2}+G\frac{M_eM_s}{r_s^2}$

Mass of Earth, Me = 5.98 × 10²⁴ kg

Mass of Venus, Mv = 0.815 Me

Mass of Jupiter, Mj = 318 Me

Mass of Saturn, Ms = 95.1 Me

closest distance between Earth and Venus, rv = 38 × 10⁶ km = 0.25 AU

closest distance between Jupiter and Earth, rj = 588 × 10⁶ km = 3.93 AU

closest distance between Earth and Saturn, rs = 1.2 × 10⁹ km = 8.0 AU

where 1 AU = 1.5 × 10¹¹ m

Inserting the values:

$F_{net} = G\frac{M_e\times 0.815 M_e}{(0.25AU)^2}+G\frac{M_e\times 318 M_e}{(3.93AU)^2}+G\frac{M_e\times 95.1 M_e}{(8.0AU)^2}\\ \Rightarrow F_{net} = \frac{(GM_e^2)}{(1AU)^2}(\frac{0.815}{0.25^2}+\frac{318}{3.93^2}+\frac{95.1}{8.0^2})=\frac{6.67\times 10^{-11} \times (5.98\times 10^{24})^2}{(1.5\times 10^{11})^2}(35.1) = 3.7 \times 10^{-4} N$

Standard weight and scales in the market should be checked in every two year why?

disa [49]

Answer:

to check for errors.

Explanation:

since some of the components of the scale are metallic, they are prone to rusting which would cause error in reading of the scale so there is organized checking if the scale to correct that.

hope it helps .
