Otrada [13]4 years ago

Answer:

537 N

Explanation:

The force due to gravity of a planet is:

F = GMm / r²

where G is the universal gravitational constant

M is the mass of the planet

m is the mass of the object

and r is the distance between the object and the center of the planet

On Earth, you weigh 716 N, so:

716 N = GMm / r²

On planet X:

F = G (3M) m / (2r)²

F = 3/4 GMm / r²

F = 3/4 (716 N)

F = 537 N

What is it about copper that makes it a good conductor
natta225 [31]
It’s because conductors have nearly zero resistance to the flow of electrons that go through them. This leaves the electrons free to move and current can travel with full strength.

Assuming a 8 kilogram bowling ball moving at 2 m/s bounces off a spring at the same speed that had before bouncing what is the a
Naya [18.7K]

a) 32 kg m/s

Assuming the spring is initially at rest, the total momentum of the system before the collision is given only by the momentum of the bowling ball:

p_i = m u = (8 kg)(2 m/s)=16 kg m/s

The ball bounces off at the same speed had before, but the new velocity has a negative sign (since the direction is opposite to the initial direction). So, the new momentum of the ball is:

p_{fB}=m v_b =(8 kg)(-2 m/s)=-16 kg m/s

The final momentum after the collision is the sum of the momenta of the ball and off the spring:

p_f = p_{fB}+p_{fS}

where p_{fS} is the momentum of the spring. For the conservation of momentum,

p_i = p_f\\p_i = p_{fB}+p_{fS}\\p_{fS}=p_i -p_{fB}=16 kg m/s -(-16 kg m/s)=32 kg m/s


b) -32 kg m/s

The change in momentum of bowling ball is given by the difference between its final momentum and initial momentum:

\Delta p=p_{fb}-p_i=-16 kg m/s - 16 kg m/s=-32 kg m/s


c) 64 N

The change in momentum is equal to the product between the average force and the time of the interaction:

\Delta p=F \Delta t

Since we know \Delta t=0.5 s, we can find the magnitude of the force:

F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}=\frac{-32 kg m/s}{0.5 s}=-64 N

The negative sign simply means that the direction of the force is opposite to the initial direction of the ball.


d) The force calculated in the previous step (64 N) is larger than the force of 32 N.

Who pays for Government workers that work on alcohol impaired driving cases?
Shalnov [3]

Answer: Taxpayers

Explanation:

Taking alcohol before driving or while driving is dangerous and has resulted in lots of accidents and deaths. Alcohol tampers with the normal functioning of the brain, and also impairs ones reasoning.

Alcohol impaired driving cases handled by government officials are paid for by the taxpayers. A tax is the levy that the people in the country pays. Those funds are used in handling different government objectives and this is one of such ways.

In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

With his work, Maxwell unified electricity, magnetism and light, which are known as «Maxwell's synthesis.» Such a synthesis set a milestone in the history of the unification of forces that were so powerful that many nineteenth-century physicists thought the physical laws were already sufficiently comprehended.
