olasank [31]2 years ago

Explanation:

Fgravity = G*(mass1*mass2)/D².

G is the gravitational constant, which has the same value throughout our universe.

D is the distance between the objects.

so, if you triple one of the masses, what does that do to our equation ?

Fgravitynew = G*(3*mass1*mass2)/D²

due to the commutative property of multiplication

Fgravitynew = 3* G*(mass1*mass2)/D² = 3* Fgravity

so, the right answer is 3×12 = 36 units.

wariber [46]

Answer:

6104 N/C.

Explanation:

Given:

k = 8.99 × 10^9 Nm2/C^2

Qx = 1.3 × 10^-5 C

rx = 7 m

Qy = 1 × 10−5 C

ry = 4 m

E = F/Q

= kQ/r^2

Ex = (8.99 × 10^9 × 1.3 × 10^−5) ÷ 7^2

= 2385.1 N/C.

Ey = (8.99 × 10^9 × 1.0 × 10^−5) ÷ 4^2

= 5618.75 N/C

Eo = sqrt(Ex^2 + Ey^2)

= sqrt(3.157 × 10^7 + 5.69 × 10^6)

= 6104 N/C.

How long does it take for an 8 kg pumpkin to hit the ground if dropped from a height of 55 m.
Sati [7]

Answer:

t = 3.35 s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of a pumpkin, m = 8 kg

It is dropped from a height of 55 m

We need to find the time taken by it to hit the ground.

Initial velocity of the pumpkin, u = 0

Using second equation of motion to find it as follows :

h=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2\\\\t=\sqrt{\dfrac{2h}{g}} \\\\t=\sqrt{\dfrac{2(55)}{9.8}} \\\\t=3.35\ s

So, it will take 3.35 seconds to hit the ground.

If the angle of incidence of a light source to a shiny surface is 30 degrees, what will the angle
Virty [35]
<h3>Answer: D) 30</h3>

Angle of incidence always equals angle of reflection. Think of a tennis ball being hit into a wall. The ball will bounce off at the same angle that it approached with. The angles mentioned are formed through the line called the "normal", which is the line perpendicular to the surface.
