Answers

Answer 1

Gravitational force increases as the mass increases and decreases as the distance between the bodies is increased.

The correct option is; The gravitational force exerted from the planet on Moon A is eight times larger than the gravitational force exerted from the planet on Moon B.

Reasons:

The given parameters are;

The moons of the planet = Moon A and Moon B

Mass of Moon A = 2·M

Mass of moon B = M

The distance between Moon B and the planet = 2 × The distance between Moon A and the planet

Required:

Comparison (compare) of the force exerted from the planet on Moon A and Moon B.

Solution:

The force, F, exerted from the planet is the gravitational force which is given by Newton's Law of Gravitation as follows;

[tex]\displaystyle F = \mathbf{G \cdot \frac{M_{planet} \times M}{R^2}}[/tex]

Where;

G = Universal gravitational constant

[tex]M_{planet}[/tex] = Mass of the planet

M = Mass of the Moon

R = The distance from the planet to the Moon

For Moon A, we have;

Mass = 2·M

Distance = R

Which gives;

[tex]\displaystyle F_A = G \cdot \frac{M_{planet} \times 2\cdot M}{R^2} = 2\cdotG \cdot \frac{M_{planet} \times M}{R^2} = \mathbf{2 \cdot F}[/tex]

With Moon B, we have;

Mass = M

Distance = 2·R

Therefore;

[tex]\displaystyle F_B = G \cdot \frac{M_{planet} \times M}{(2 \cdot R)^2} = G \cdot \frac{M_{planet} \times M}{4 \cdot R^2} = \frac{1}{4} \cdot G \cdot \frac{M_{planet} \times M}{R^2} = \mathbf{\frac{1}{4} \cdot F}[/tex]

Which gives;

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{F_A}{F_B} = \frac{2 \cdot F}{\frac{1}{4} \cdot F } =2 \times \frac{4}{1} = \mathbf{8}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{F_A}{F_B} = 8[/tex]

[tex]F_A = \mathbf{8 \times F_B}[/tex]

The force from the planet on Moon A, [tex]F_A[/tex], is 8 times the force from the planet on Moon B.

Therefore, whereby option B is;

The gravitational force exerted from the planet on Moon A is eight times larger than the gravitational force exerted from the planet on Moon B.

The correct option is option B

An object has a kinetic energy of 50 J and a velocity of 5 m/s, what is the mass of the object?

Answers

Answer:

Mass, M = 4 kilograms.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Kinetic energy = 50 J

Velocity = 5 m/s

To find the mass of the object;

Kinetic energy can be defined as an energy possessed by an object or body due to its motion.

Mathematically, kinetic energy is given by the formula;

[tex] K.E = \frac{1}{2}MV^{2}[/tex]

Where;

K.E represents kinetic energy measured in Joules.

M represents mass measured in kilograms.

V represents velocity measured in metres per seconds square.

Making mass the subject formula;

[tex] M = \frac{2K.E}{V^{2}}[/tex]

Substituting into the equation, we have;

[tex] M = \frac{2*50}{5^{2}}[/tex]

[tex] M = \frac{100}{25}[/tex]

Mass, M = 4 kg

The range of human hearing is 20 Hz – 20 000 Hz.
Calculate the longest and shortest wavelengths we can hear.

Answers

Explanation:

the velocity of sound in air is 330m/s

and v=fh, where h is wavelength f is frequency,

h=v/f.......(1)

longer wavelength

h=330/20,h=16.5m

shorter wavelength

h=330/20000,h=1.65x10-²m

The lesser frequency was used for finding the longer wavelength since wavelength is inversely proportional to frequency,

thus an increase in frequency brings a decrease in wavelength.

and shorter wavelengths are more high and intense

What are Planets?

A planet is an astronomical object that orbits a star or stellar remnant that is large enough to be rounded by gravity, but not so large as to trigger thermonuclear fusion, and that is free of planetesimals in its locality

Planets are generally divided into two main types: large, low-density gas giants and smaller, rocky terrestrials.

In order of increasing distance from the Sun, they are the four terrestrials, Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars, then the four gas giants, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune

Given data ,

Let the first planet be represented as A

Let the second planet be represented as B

Now , the planets A and B have similar average temperature

where , the planets can have negative as well has very high temperatures

Now , when A = Mercury and B = Venus

Venus has 864 degrees Fahrenheit (462 degrees Celsius)

And , Mercury has 800 degrees Fahrenheit (430 degrees Celsius)

So , both Venus and Mercury has similar temperatures

Now , when A = Neptune and B = Uranus

Neptune has minus 353 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 214 degrees Celsius)

Uranus has minus 374 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 224 degrees Celsius)

So , both Neptune and Uranus has similar temperatures

Hence , the planets are Venus and Mercury

What are 4 physical properties for the bear

Answers

Answer:

A bear normally has a short, thick neck, a rounded head, a pointed muzzle, short ears, and small eyes. Some species have round faces. Bears have poor eyesight, and most have only fair hearing.

Explanation:

Modern Bears are characterized with large body and stocky legs, a long snout, shaggy hair, plantigrade paws with five non-retractile claws and a short tail.

Grizzly bears (Ursus arctos horribilis) have concave faces, a distinctive hump on their shoulders, and long claws about two to four inches long. Both the hump and the claws are traits associated with a grizzly bear's exceptional digging ability. Grizzlies are often dark brown, but can vary from blonde to nearly black.

The brown bear has a slight hump above its shoulder, round ears, a long snout and big paws with long, curved claws that it uses for digging. Unlike the black bear, it can't climb trees. It can weigh between 350-1,500 pounds. When standing on its hind legs it can be up to 5 feet tall.

For two vectors A and B.A+B =A-B, if and only if??​

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\vec{A} + \vec{B} = \vec{A} - \vec{B}[/tex] if and only if [tex]\vec{B}[/tex] is a zero vector.

Explanation:

An equation is true if and only if adding the same value to both sides of the equation (the value needs to be compatible) gives an equation that is also true.

Start with the [tex]\vec{A} + \vec{B} = \vec{A} - \vec{B}[/tex].

This equation is true if and only if [tex]\left(\vec{A} + \vec{B}\right) + \vec{B} = \left(\vec{A} - \vec{B}\right) + \vec{B}[/tex] ([tex]\vec{B}[/tex] is added to both sides of the original equation.)

Vector addition and subtraction are associative. Therefore, [tex]\left(\vec{A} + \vec{B}\right) + \vec{B} = \left(\vec{A} - \vec{B}\right) + \vec{B}[/tex] if and only if [tex]\vec{A} + \left(\vec{B} + \vec{B}\right) = \vec{A} + \left(- \vec{B} + \vec{B}\right)[/tex], which is equivalent to [tex]\vec{A} + 2\, \vec{B} = \vec{A}[/tex].

[tex]\vec{A} + 2\, \vec{B} = \vec{A}[/tex] if and only if [tex]\left(-\vec{A}\right) + \vec{A} + 2\, \vec{B} = \left(-\vec{A}\right) + \vec{A}[/tex] ([tex]\left(-\vec{A}\right)[/tex]is added to both sides of this equation,) which is equivalent to [tex]2\, \vec{B} = \vec{0}[/tex].

[tex]2\, \vec{B} = \vec{0}[/tex] if and only [tex]\displaystyle \frac{1}{2} \cdot \left(2\, \vec{B}\right) = \frac{1}{2} \cdot \vec{0}[/tex], which is equivalent to [tex]\vec{B} = \vec{0}[/tex]. That is: [tex]\vec{B}[/tex] is the zero vector.

In other words:

[tex]\begin{aligned}& \vec{A} + \vec{B} = \vec{A} - \vec{B}\\ &\iff \left( \vec{A} + \vec{B}\right) + \vec{B} = \left(\vec{A} - \vec{B}\right) + \vec{B} \\ &\iff \vec{A} + \left(\vec{B} + \vec{B}\right) = \vec{A} + \left(- \vec{B} + \vec{B}\right) \\ & \iff \vec{A} + 2\, \vec{B} = \vec{A} \\ & \iff \left(-\vec{A}\right) + \vec{A} + 2\, \vec{B} = \left(-\vec{A}\right) + \vec{A} \\ &\iff 2\, \vec{B} = \vec{0} \\ &\iff \frac{1}{2} \cdot 2\,\vec{B} = \frac{1}{2} \cdot \vec{0} \\ &\iff \vec{B} = \vec{0}\end{aligned}[/tex].

Hence, [tex]\vec{A} + \vec{B} = \vec{A} - \vec{B}[/tex] if and only if [tex]\vec{B}[/tex] is the zero vector.

What is the equivalent resistance of the circuit?

Answers

Answer:

Option D. 5.45 Ω

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Resistance 1 (R₁) = 10 Ω

Resistance 2 (R₂) = 20 Ω

Resistance 3 (R₃) = 30 Ω

Voltage (V) = 120 V

Equivalent resistance (R) =?

The equivalent resistance can be obtained as follow:

1/R = 1/R₁ + 1/R₂ + 1/R₃

1/R = 1/10 + 1/20 + 1/30

Find the least common multiple (lcm) of 10, 20 and 30. The result is 60

Divide 60 by each of the denominators and multiply by their numerators respectively. We have:

1/R = (6 + 3 + 2)/60

1/R = 11/60

Invert

R = 60/11

R = 5.45 Ω

Thus, the equivalent resistance in the circuit is 5.45 Ω

A trampoline spring has a force constant k = 800 N/m and is stretched exactly 17.5cm. What is the energy required to do this?

Answers

Answer:

the energy required for the extension is 12.25 J

Explanation:

Given;

force constant of trampoline spring, k = 800 N/m

extension of trampoline spring, x = 17.5 cm = 0.175 m

The energy required for the extension is calculated as;

E = ¹/₂kx²

E = 0.5 x 800 x 0.175²

E = 12.25 J

Therefore, the energy required for the extension is 12.25 J
