A group of humans traveling in space discover a habitable planet. They settle down there and start populating it. Their populati

on grows at a steady rate and doubles every 10 years. Thousand years after the first group of humans arrived, the planet is filled to half its carrying capacity. How many more years are there to reach the carrying capacity of the planet? Assume there are no resource crisis and they grow at the same rate. A) 500 years
B) 1000 years
C) 5 years
D) 1 year
E) 10 years

Answer:

10 years

Explanation:

As you can understand from the question it is given that the planet is already filled to half of its capacity. Also the population doubles in 10 years. To fill up the planet completely the population needs to double only once. To do that only 10 years are required.

As it is mentioned there are no other factors affecting the growth rate, in 10years the planet will be filled to its carrying capacity.

Consider an oil droplet of mass m and charge q. We want to determine the charge on the droplet in a Millikan-type experiment. We
Katen [24]

Answer:

q=\frac{mg}{E_o}              

Explanation:

Given:

Charge = <em>q</em>

Electric field strength =E_o

weight of the droplet = <em>mg</em>

The charge is suspended motionless. This is because the electric force on the charge is balanced by the weight of the droplet.

electric force on charged droplet, F=qE_o

This is balanced by the weight, mg

Equating the two:

qE_o=mg\\\Rightarrow q=\frac{mg}{E_o}

determine the force of gravitational attraction between a 78kg boy sitting 2 meters away from a 65kg girl.
bixtya [17]

Answer:

F=8.45\times 10^{-8}\ N

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a boy is 78 kg

Mass of a girl is 65 kg

We need to find the force of gravitational attraction between them if they are 2 m away.

The formula for the gravitational force is given by :

F=\dfrac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}\\\\F=\dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 78\times 65}{(2)^2}\\\\=8.45\times 10^{-8}\ N

So, the force between them is 8.45\times 10^{-8}\ N.

A box is held at rest by two ropes that form 30° angles with the vertical. The tension T in either rope is 42 N. What is the wei
iragen [17]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

= 73 N

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>

Using the formula

2 T cos(30°) = w

Where; T is the tension on each string, while w is the weight of the box given by mg

Therefore;

W = 2Tcos 30°

    = 2 × 42 cos 30°

    = 84 cos 30°

    = 72.74

<u>   ≈ 73 N</u>

You read in a science magazine that on the Moon, the speed of a shell leaving the barrel of a modern tank is enough to put the s
olga_2 [115]

To solve this problem we will use the definition of the kinematic equations of centrifugal motion, using the constants of the gravitational acceleration of the moon and the radius of this star.

Centrifugal acceleration is determined by

a_c = \frac{v^2}{r}

Where,

v = Velocity

r = Radius

From the given data of the moon we know that gravity there is equivalent to

a = 1.62m/s

While the radius of the moon is given by

r = 1.74*10^6m

If we rearrange the function to find the speed we will have to

v = \sqrt{ar}

v = \sqrt{1.6(1.74*10^6)}

v = 1.7km/s

The speed for this to happen is 1.7km/s
