Death Star has a diameter of 160,000m and a mass of 5.1e17kg. Millennium Falcon has a mass of 1.36e6kg (data from Wookieepedia)

lions [1.4K]

Answer:

7229 N

Explanation:

The gravitational force between the Death Star and the Millenium Falcon is given by:

$F=G\frac{mM}{R^2}$

where

$G=6.67\cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1} s^{-2}$ is the gravitational constant

$M=5.1\cdot 10^{17} kg$ is the mass of the Death Star

$m=1.36\cdot 10^6 kg$ is the mass of the Millennium Falcon

$R=\frac{160,000 m}{2}=80,000 m$ is the radius of the Death Star

Substituting numbers into the equation, we find the force

$F=(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})\frac{(1.36\cdot 10^6 kg)(5.1\cdot 10^{17} kg)}{(80,000 m)^2}=7229 N$

A ray of light traveling through air strikes a piece of diamond at an angle of incidence equal to 56 degrees. Calculate the angu

Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

The angle of separation is $\Delta \theta = 0.93 ^o$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The angle of incidence is $\theta _ i = 56^o$

The refractive index of violet light in diamond is $n_v = 2.46$

The refractive index of red light in diamond is $n_r = 2.41$

The wavelength of violet light is $\lambda _v = 400nm = 400*10^{-9}m$

The wavelength of red light is $\lambda _r = 700nm = 700*10^{-9}m$

Snell's Law can be represented mathematically as

$\frac{sin \theta_i}{sin \theta_r} = n$

Where $\theta_r$ is the angle of refraction

=> $sin \theta_r = \frac{sin \theta_i}{n}$

Now considering violet light

$sin \theta_r__{v}} = \frac{sin \theta_i}{n_v}$

substituting values

$sin \theta_r__{v}} = \frac{sin (56)}{2.46}$

$sin \theta_r__{v}} = 0.337$

$\theta_r__{v}} = sin ^{-1} (0.337)$

$\theta_r__{v}} = 19.69^o$

Now considering red light

$sin \theta_r__{R}} = \frac{sin \theta_i}{n_r}$

substituting values

$sin \theta_r__{R}} = \frac{sin (56)}{2.41}$

$sin \theta_r__{R}} = 0.344$

$\theta_r__{R}} = sin ^{-1} (0.344)$

$\theta_r__{R}} = 20.12^o$

The angle of separation between the red light and the violet light is mathematically evaluated as

$\Delta \theta = \theta_r__{R}} - \theta_r__{V}}$

substituting values

$\Delta \theta =20.12 - 19.69$

$\Delta \theta = 0.93 ^o$

PLS HELP. A flatbed car of a train moves 8 m/s to the east. A jogger runs along to top the flatbed car (which is not very safe)

jonny [76]

Answer:

2 m/s

Explanation: Given that a flatbed car of a train moves 8 m/s to the east. A jogger runs along to top the flatbed car (which is not very safe) with a velocity of 6 m/s to the west.

Since the jogger is moving in an opposite direction to the direction of the train, and velocity is the distance covered in a specific direction, the jogger will be moving at a velocity relative to the velocity of the train.

Velocity = (8 - 6) m/s

Velocity = 2 m/s

Therefore, the jogger will be moving at the speed of 2 m/s
