Answer:

Distance is directly proportional to the velocity

Explanation:

In 1929, Edwin Hubble's wrote an article that talked about relationship between the distance and recession speed/velocity of galaxies which led to what is known as the Hubble Law. This law states that galaxies are moving away from the earth at velocities proportional to their distances.

Thus is written as;

v = H_o•d

Where;

v is velocity

d is distance

H_o is Hubble's constant rate of cosmic expansion.

He came to this conclusion by generating a graph known as Hubble's classic graph which was a graph of observed velocity vs distance for nearby galaxies.

A point P1 is located by the vector A = (3.74)î + (1.64)ĵ and a point P2 is located by the vector B = (1.60)î + (3.66)ĵ. The vec

Answer:

$\vec{C} = ( \ - 2.14 \ , \ 2.02 \ )$

Explanation:

The vector that point from point P1 to point P2 its found simply by taking the vector at which point P2 its located and subtracting the vector at which point P1 its located:

$\vec{C} = \vec{B} - \vec{A}$

So:

$\vec{C} = ( \ 1.60 \ , \ 3.66 \ ) - ( \ 3.74 \ , \ 1.64 \ )$

$\vec{C} = ( \ 1.60 \ - \ 3.74 \ , \ 3.66 \ - \ 1.64 \ )$

$\vec{C} = ( \ - 2.14 \ , \ 2.02 \ )$

The gravitational force,F, on a rocket at a distance,r, from the center of the earth isgiven byF=kr2wherek= 1013N·km2. (Newton·k

Brrunno [24]

Answer:

The gravitational force changing velocity is

$\frac{dF}{dt}=-8\frac{N}{s}$

Explanation:

The expression for the gravitational force is

$F=\frac{k}{r^{2}}\\\\k=10x10^{13} N*km^{2}\\\\r=10x10^{4} km\\\\V=0.4 \frac{km}{s}$

Differentiate the above equation

$\frac{dF}{dt}=\frac{k}{r^{2}}\\\frac{dF}{dt}=k*r^{-2}\\\frac{dF}{dt}=-2*k*r^{-3} \frac{dr}{dt}\\\frac{dF}{dt}=\frac{-2k}{r^{3}}\frac{dr}{dt}$

The velocity is the distance in at time so

$V=\frac{dr}{dt}=0.4 \frac{km}{s}$

$\frac{dF}{dt}=\frac{-2*k}{r^{3}}*0.4\\\frac{dF}{dt}=\frac{-8*10x^{13}N*km^{2} }{(10x10^{4}) ^{3}} \\\frac{dF}{dt}=\frac{-8x10^{12} }{1x10^{12}}$

$\frac{dF}{dt}=-8\frac{N}{s}$

An object carries a +15.5 µC charge. It is 0.525 m from a -7.25 µC charge. What is the magnitude of the electric force on the ob

lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

the force of attraction between the two charges is 3.55 N.

Explanation:

Given;

first charge carried by the object, q₁ = 15.5 µC

second charge carried by the q₂ = -7.25 µC

distance between the two charges, r = 0.525 m

The force of attraction between the two charges is calculated as;

$F = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2} \\\\F = \frac{(9\times 10^9)(15\times 10^{-6})(7.25\times 10^{-6})}{(0.525)^2} \\\\F = 3.55 \ N$

Therefore, the force of attraction between the two charges is 3.55 N.
