Answer:

8173.8 km

Explanation:

Fg=G(M*m/r^2)

r=sqrt(G*M*m/Fg)

G=6.6743*10^-11

M(earth)=5.972*10^24kg

M(object)=352kg

Fg=-2100N

r=sqrt((6.6743*10^-11)*(5.972*10^24kg)*(352)/-2100)

r=8173808m

r=8173.8km

A car travels a distance of 100 km. For the first 30 minutes it is driven at a constant speed of 80 km/hr. The motor begins to v

gregori [183]

Explanation:

First, we need to determine the distance traveled by the car in the first 30 minutes, $d_{\frac{1}{2}}$ .

Notice that the unit measurement for speed, in this case, is km/hr. Thus, a unit conversion of from minutes into hours is required before proceeding with the calculation, as shown below

$d_{\frac{1}{2}\text{h}} \ = \ \text{speed} \ \times \ \text{time taken} \\ \\ \\ d_{\frac{1}{2}\text{h}} \ = \ 80 \ \text{km h}^{-1} \ \times \ \left(\displaystyle\frac{30}{60} \ \text{h}\right) \\ \\ \\ d_{\frac{1}{2}\text{h}} \ = \ 80 \ \text{km h}^{-1} \ \times \ 0.5 \ \text{h} \\ \\ \\ d_{\frac{1}{2}\text{h}} \ = \ 40 \ \text{km}$

Now, it is known that the car traveled 40 km for the first 30 minutes. Hence, the remaining distance, $d_{\text{remain}}$ , in which the driver reduces the speed to 40km/hr is

$d_{\text{remain}} \ = \ 100 \ \text{km} \ - \ 40 \ \text{km} \\ \\ \\ d_{\text{remain}} \ = \ 60 \ \text{km}$ .

Subsequently, we would also like to know the time taken for the car to reach its destination, denoted by $t_{\text{remian}}$ .

$t_{\text{remain}} \ = \ \displaystyle\frac{\text{distance}}{\text{speed}} \\ \\ \\ t_{\text{remain}} \ = \ \displaystyle\frac{60 \ \text{km}}{40 \ \text{km hr}^{-1}} \\ \\ \\ t_{\text{remain}} \ = \ 1.5 \ \text{hours}$ .

Finally, with all the required values at hand, the average speed of the car for the entire trip is calculated as the ratio of the change in distance over the change in time.

$\text{speed} \ = \ \displaystyle\frac{\Delta d}{\Delta t} \\ \\ \\ \text{speed} \ = \ \displaystyle\frac{100 \ \text{km}}{(0.5 \ \text{hr} \ + \ 1.5 \ \text{hr})} \\ \\ \\ \text{speed} \ = \ \displaystyle\frac{100 \ \text{km}}{2 \ \text{hr}} \\ \\ \\ \text{speed} \ = \ 50 \ \text{km hr}^{-1}$

Therefore, the average speed of the car is 50 km/hr.

Why the efficiency of heat engine is always less than 100%

valina [46]

Answer:

because some waste heat is always produced produced in a heat engine.

Explanation:

the fraction of heat input that is converted to a net work output is a measure of the performance of the heat engine and is called the thermal efficiency.Since the machine does not contain a source of energy ,nor can it store energy ,from this conversation of energy the power output of machine can never be greater than its input,so efficiency can be less than 100%.

A 12.0 cm object is 9.0 cm from a convex mirror that has a focal length of -4.5 cm. What is the distance of the image from the m

Rasek [7]

Answer:

- 3 cm

Explanation:

From the mirror formula;

1/f = 1/v + 1/u ; where f is the focal length, v is the image distance, and u is the object distance.

1/-4.5 = 1/9 + 1/v

1/v = -1/4.5 - 1/9

= -1/3

Therefore;

v = -3 cm

Hence;

Image distance is - 3cm
