Answer:

1) A = 0.25 m², 2) V = 0.5 m³, 3) m = 1500 kg, 4) W = 14700 N,

5) P = 58800 Pa

Explanation:

1) The area of the base is square

A = L²

A = 0.5²

A = 0.25 m²

2) The block is a parallelepiped

V = A h

V = 0.25 2

V = 0.5 m³

3) Density is defined

rho = m / V

m = rho V

m = 3000 0.5

m = 1500 kg

4) The weight of a body is

W = mg

W = 1500 9.8

W = 14700 N

5) The pressure is

P = F / A

in this case the force is equal to the weight of the body

P = 14700 / 0.25

P = 58800 Pa

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:

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

If I were to transmit a radio wave in our three dimensional world could a fourth dimensional “being” be able to receive it?

Morgarella [4.7K]

Depends. Are you talking about a mathematical 4th dimension (in which there is infinite dimensions) or some sort of etheral dimension (in which there is no scientific evidence for)

If you mean the first then yes. But it depends how these beings exist. From our understanding we only can theorize shapes in 4-d and if we assume that there is only one universe these "beings" arleady exist and thus any message in 3-d would be sent to them like a shadow ("flat").
If they exist in a alternate "plane" then you would need some method to transverse this plan and if u did, then we would easily be able to communicate, but we would at first sound like a wild animal. They either would ignore us, not understand or perceive us, or they would attempt to send back a signal (essential they are ET's)

IF you mean the second then thats some mystic stuff and its pretty creepy (although a fun read for me :P)

An eccentric inventor attempts to levitate a cork ball by wrapping it with foil and placing a large negative charge on the ball

djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

because of the idea that like charges get repulsion as a force.

Explanation:

because you wrap the ball with foil, the negative charges will leave the foil and go into the ball by induction. This leaves the foil as a positively charged particle since its electrons left it for the ball, making the ball a negatively charged particle. but if you bring the negative charge near the foil, the electrons will transfer from that and go into the foil, making it negatively charged. Now, because the ball and the foil have the same charge, they repel. the foil flies off.
