Larry weighs 300 N at the surface of Earth. What is the weight of Earth in the gravitational field of Larry

1 answer:

4 0

The gravitational force of attraction between two objects is directly proportional to the product of the two masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

$F = \frac{GMm}{r^2}$

Where,

G = Gravitational Universal Constant

M = Mass of the Planet

m = Mass of the object

r = Distance

Therefore the amount of force exerted by the first object on the second object is equal to the amount of the force exerted on the second object by the first.

The gravitational force exerted by Larry on the Earth is same as the force exerted on Larry by the Earth.

That is 300N.

I am really struggling with this question because I can't find anything on aphelion and perihelion, it's not a topic we went ove

Hoochie [10]

I have a strange hunch that there's some more material or previous work
that goes along with this question, which you haven't included here.

I can't easily find the dates of Mercury's extremes, but here's some of the
other data you're looking for:

Distance at Aphelion (point in it's orbit that's farthest from the sun):
69,816,900 km
0. 466 697 AU

 Distance at Perihelion (point in it's orbit that's closest to the sun):
46,001,200 km
0.307 499 AU 

Perihelion and aphelion are always directly opposite each other in
the orbit, so the time between them is 1/2 of the orbital period.

Mercury's Orbital period = 87.9691 Earth days

1/2 (50%) of that is 43.9845 Earth days

The average of the aphelion and perihelion distances is

1/2 ( 69,816,900 + 46,001,200 ) = 57,909,050 km
or
1/2 ( 0.466697 + 0.307499) = 0.387 098 AU

This also happens to be 1/2 of the major axis of the elliptical orbit.

A monochromatic light beam is incident on a barium target that has a work function of 2.50 \mathrm{eV} . If a potential differen

leva [86]

The wavelength of the light beam required to turn back all the ejected electrons is 497 nm which is option (b).

Work function is a material property defined as the minimum amount of energy required to infinitely remove electrons from the surface of a particular solid.
The potential difference required to support all emitted electrons is called the stopping potential which is given by $v_0=\frac{K.E_m_a_x}{e}$ .....(1)
where $v_0$ is the stopping potential and e is the charge of the electron given by $1.6\times10^-^1^9$ .

It is given that work function (Ф) of monochromatic light is 2.50 eV.

Einstein photoelectric equation is given by:

$K.E_m_a_x=E-\phi$ ....(2)

where K.E(max) is the maximum kinetic energy.

Substituting (1) into (2) , we get

$ev_0=E-\phi\\1.6\times10^{-19} \times1=E-2.50\\E=1.6\times10^{-19}+2.50\\E=2.50eV$

As we know that $E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}$ ....(3)

where Speed of light, $c = 3\times10^8 m/s$ and Planck's constant , $h = 6.63\times 10^-^1^9Js = 4.14\times 10^-^1^5 eVs$

From equation (3) , we get

$\lambda=\frac{hc}{E} \\\\\lambda=\frac{ 4.14\times 10^-^1^5 \times 3 \times10^8}{2.50} \\\\\lambda=\frac{1240\times10^-^9}{2.50} \\\\\lambda=496.8\times10^-^9\\\\\lambda=497nm$

What is the kinetic energy of a 0.135 kg baseball thrown at 40 m/s

Ronch [10]

KE = 1/2 * m * v^2
KE = 1/2 * 0.135 * 40^2
KE = 1/2 * 0.135 * 1600
KE = 108 J

A sample of helium behaves as an ideal gas as energy is

alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

0.0321 g

Explanation:

Let helium specific heat $c_h = 5.193 J/g K$

Assuming no energy is lost in the process, by the law of energy conservation we can state that the 20J work done is from the heat transfer to heat it up from 273K to 393K, which is a difference of ΔT = 393 - 273 = 120 K. We have the following heat transfer equation:

$E_h = m_hc_h \Delta T = 20 J$

where $m_h$ is the mass of helium, which we are looking for:

$m_h = \frac{20}{c_h \Delta T} = \frac{20}{5.193 * 120} \approx 0.0321 g$

Se golpea una pelota de golf de manera que su velocidad inicial forma un ángulo de 45° con la horizontal. La pelota alcanza el s

nordsb [41]

Answer:

42m/s

6.06s

Explanation:

To find the initial velocity and time in which the ball is fling over the ground you use the following formulas:

$x_{max}=\frac{v_o^2sin(2\theta)}{g}\\\\x_{max}=vt_{max}$

θ: angle = 45°

vo: initial velocity

g: gravitational constant = 9.8m/s^2

x_max: max distance = 180 m

t_max: max time

by replacing the values of the parameters and do vo the subject of the first formula you obtain:

$v_o=\sqrt{\frac{gx_{max}}{sin(2\theta)}}\\\\v_o=\sqrt{\frac{(9.8m/s^2)(180m)}{sin(2(45\°))}}=42\frac{m}{s}$

with this value of vo you calculate the max time:

$t_{max}=\frac{x_{max}}{v}=\frac{x_{max}}{v_ocos(45\°)}\\\\t_{max}=\frac{180m}{(42m/s)cos(45\°)}=6.06s$

hence, the initial velocity of the ball is 42m/s and the time in which the ball is in the air is 6.06s

TRANSLATION:

Para encontrar la velocidad inicial y el tiempo en el que la pelota está volando sobre el suelo, use las siguientes fórmulas:

θ: ángulo = 45 °

vo: velocidad inicial

g: constante gravitacional = 9.8m / s ^ 2

x_max: distancia máxima = 180 m

t_max: tiempo máximo

reemplazando los valores de los parámetros y haciendo el tema de la primera fórmula que obtiene:

con este valor de vo usted calcula el tiempo máximo:

por lo tanto, la velocidad inicial de la pelota es de 42 m / sy el tiempo en que la pelota está en el aire es de 6.06 s
