(1) You must find the point of equilibrium between the two forces,
<span>G * <span><span><span>MT</span><span>ms / </span></span><span>(R−x)^2 </span></span>= G * <span><span><span>ML</span><span>ms / </span></span><span>x^2
MT / (R-x)^2 = ML / x^2
So,
x = R * sqrt(ML * MT) - ML / (MT - ML)
R = is the distance between Earth and Moon.
</span></span></span>The result should be,
x = 3.83 * 10^7m
from the center of the Moon, and
R - x = 3.46*10^8 m
from the center of the Earth.
(2) As the distance from the center of the Earth is the number we found before,
d = R - x = 3.46*10^8m
The acceleration at this point is
g = G * MT / d^2
g = 3.33*10^-3 m/s^2
<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>
1600 years
<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
- Half life is the time taken for a radioactive isotope to decay by half of its original amount.
- We can use the formula; N = O × (1/2)^n ; where N is the new mass, O is the original amount and n is the number of half lives.
- A sample of radium-226 takes 3200 years to decay to 1/4 of its original amount.
Therefore;
<em>1/4 = 1 × (1/2)^n</em>
<em>1/4 = (1/2)^n </em>
<em>n = 2 </em>
Thus; <em>3200 years is equivalent to 2 half lives.</em>
<em>Hence, the half life of radium-226 is 1600 years</em>
Answer:
Explanation:
As we know that
velocity of bike = 7.5 m/s
velocity of car is 10 m/s
deceleration of car is 0.75 m/s^2
part a)
velocity of bike with respect to car is given as
acceleration of bike with respect to car is given as
now the distance of the bike with respect to car is given as
Part b)
Answer:
6.23x10^6Pa
Explanation:
Data obtained from the question include:
F (force) = 490N
r (radius) = 0.005m
A (area of the circlular heel) =?
P (pressure) =.?
First, we'll begin by calculating the area of the circlular heel. This is illustrated below:
Area of circle = πr^2
Area = 22/7 x (0.00)^2
Area = 7.86x10^-5m^2
Pressure is simply force per unit area. It represented mathematically as
Pressure = Force /Area
Pressure = 490/7.86x10^-5
Pressure = 6.23x10^6N/m2
Recall: 1N/m2 = 1Pa
Therefore, 6.23x10^6N/m2 = 6.23x10^6Pa
Therefore, the woman exert a pressure of 6.23x10^6Pa on the floor
