Explanation:
By Hooke's Law,
F=kx
The only force acting here is weight, and x is the extension of the string (you need to convert this to mm) so
mg=kx
(0.15)(9.81)=k ((420-300)x10^-3)
Then just solve this equation.
The Sun is 149.6 million kilometers from the earth.
There are 8760 hours in a year.
876000 km are traveled in a year
It would take 170.776 years to reach the sun, or 171 years rather
Answer: weight on Jupiter = 869.75 N
mass on Earth = mass on Jupiter = 35.5 Kg
Explanation:
W = mg
W = weight
m = mass
g = gravitational acceleration [ on the Earth, g₁ = 9,8 N/kg ]
On the Earth,
G₁ = m x g₁ = 347,9 N
On the Jupiter,
G₂ = mg₂
mass on the Earth = mass on the Jupiter !
m = G₁ : g = 347.9 N : 9,8 N/kg = 35.5 kg
G2 : G1 = 2.5
G₂ = 2,5 G₁ = 2,5 x 347.9 N = 869,75 N
Answer:
Explanation:
Potential energy on the surface of the earth
= - GMm/ R
Potential at height h
= - GMm/ (R+h)
Potential difference
= GMm/ R - GMm/ (R+h)
= GMm ( 1/R - 1/ R+h )
= GMmh / R (R +h)
This will be the energy needed to launch an object from the surface of Earth to a height h above the surface.
Extra energy is needed to get the same object into orbit at height h
= Kinetic energy of the orbiting object at height h
= 1/2 x potential energy at height h
= 1/2 x GMm / ( R + h)
Answer: Alfred Wegener provided some of the important points that supported the theory of continental drift. They are as follows-
- The continents were once all attached together, and this can be proved by studying the coastlines of some of the continents that perfectly matches with one another.
- The appearance of similar rock types and similar fossils (including both animals and plants) has also contributed much information that continents were once all together.
