Newton's Third Law states that for every action there is an opposite and equal reaction:

If the gravitational force of the Earth on the Moon is F then the gravitational force of the Moon on the Earth is also F

As the army approached the bridge into the city, the commander told them to break step. He did not want the soldiers to march in

Aleks [24]

At a definite point, the bridge would begin oscillating to the matching rhythm as that of the marching footsteps. This oscillation would touch a determined peak when the bridge can no longer tolerate its own power and later collapses. So, soldiers are systematic to break their steps while passing a bridge.

How will you relate yourself to stellar evolution?

adoni [48]

Answer:

<em>Stellar evolution is the process by which a star changes over the course of time. Depending on the mass of the star, its lifetime can range from a few million years for the most massive to trillions of years for the least massive, which is considerably longer than the age of the universe. The table shows the lifetimes of stars as a function of their masses.[1] All stars are formed from collapsing clouds of gas and dust, often called nebulae or molecular clouds. Over the course of millions of years, these protostars settle down into a state of equilibrium, becoming what is known as a main-seque</em>

Newly discovered planet has twice the mass and three times the radius of the earth. What is the free-fall acceleration at its su

skad [1K]

Answer:

$g_n=\dfrac{2}{9}g$

Explanation:

M = Mass of Earth

G = Gravitational constant

R = Radius of Earth

The acceleration due to gravity on Earth is

$g=\dfrac{GM}{R^2}$

On new planet

$g_n=\dfrac{G2M}{(3R)^2}\\\Rightarrow g_n=\dfrac{2GM}{9R^2}$

Dividing the two equations we get

$\dfrac{g_n}{g}=\dfrac{\dfrac{2GM}{9R^2}}{\dfrac{GM}{R^2}}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{g_n}{g}=\dfrac{2}{9}\\\Rightarrow g_n=\dfrac{2}{9}g$

The acceleration due to gravity on the other planet is $g_n=\dfrac{2}{9}g$

In a certain process, the energy change of the system is 250 \rm kJ. The process involves 480 \rm kJ of work done by the system.

alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

$\Delta Q=-230kJ$

Explanation:

Using the first law of thermodynamics:

$\Delta U=\Delta Q-W$

Where $\Delta U$ is the change in the internal energy of the system, in this case $\Delta U=250kJ$ , $\Delta Q$ is the heat tranferred, and $W$ is the work, $W=-480kJ$ with a negative sign since the work is done by the system.

From the previous equation we solve for heat, because it is the unknown variable in this problem

$\Delta Q=\Delta U +W$

And replacing the known values:

$\Delta Q=250kJ +(-480kJ)$

$\Delta Q=250kJ -480kJ$

$\Delta Q=-230kJ$

The negative sign shows us that the heat is tranferred from the system into the surroundings.

Two students are on a balcony 19.1 m above the street. One student throws a ball, b1, vertically downward at 13.9 m/s. At the sa

tester [92]

Answer:

Part a)

$t = 2.83 s$

Part b)

Ball thrown downwards = $v_f = 23.8 m/s$

Ball thrown upwards = $v_f = 23.8 m/s$

Part c)

$d = 22.24 m$

Explanation:

Part a)

Since both the balls are projected with same speed in opposite directions

So here the time difference is the time for which the ball projected upward will move up and come back at the same point of projection

Afterwards the motion will be same as the first ball which is projected downwards

so here the time difference is given as

$\Delta y = 0 = v_y t + \frac{1}{2}at^2$

$0 = 13.9 t - \frac{1}{2}(9.81) t^2$

$t = 2.83 s$

Part b)

Since the displacement in y direction for two balls is same as well as the the initial speed is also same so final speed is also same for both the balls

so it is given as

$v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a \Delta y$
