Answer:

a)   M = 2,939  10¹⁷ kg , b)   M_{e} / M  = 2 10⁷

Explanation:

a) The equation for gravitational force is

         F = G m M / r²

Where G is the gravitational constant that is worth 6.67 10⁻¹¹ N m² / kg², m the mass epa person. M the mass of the Mountain and r the distance between them.

The value of this force is 2% of the person's weight

          F = 0.02 W = 0.02 mg

we replace

         0.02 mg = G m M / r²

         M = 0.02 g r² / G

         r = 10 km = 10 10³ m = 1.0 10⁴ m

         M = 0.02  9.8  (10⁴)² / 6.67 10⁻¹¹

         M = 2,939  10¹⁷ kg

b) to compare the masses we find their relationship

       M_{e} / M = 5.98 1024 / 2,939 1017

       M_{e} / M  = 2 10⁷

c) treating the mountain as a point object

d) The mountain is not spherical so the distance changes depending on the height of the mountain

An individual white LED (light-emitting diode) has an efficiency of 20% and uses 1.0 W of electric power. a. How many LEDs must
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

8, 8 W

Explanation:

The useful power of 1 Light Emitting Diode is

0.2\times 1=0.2\ W

Total power required is 1.6 W

Number of Light Emitting Diodes would be

n=\dfrac{1.6}{0.2}\\\Rightarrow n=8

The number of Light Emitting Diodes is 8.

Power would be

P=8\times 1=8\ W

The power that is required to run the Light Emitting Diodes is 8 W

Robin Hood wishes to split an arrow already in the bull's-eye of a target 40 m away.
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

5.843 m

Explanation:

suppose that the arrow leave the bow with a horizontal speed , towards he bull's eye.

lets consider that horizontal motion

distance = speed * time

time = 40/ 37 = 1.081 s

arrow doesnot have a initial vertical velocity component. but it has a vertical motion due to gravity , which may cause a miss of the target.

applying motion equation

(assume g = 10 m/s²)

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}*gt^{2}  \\= 0+\frac{1}{2}*10*1.081^{2}\\= 5.843 m

Arrow misses the target by 5.843m ig the arrow us split horizontally

A flat circular loop of wire of radius 0.50 m that is carrying a 2.0-A current is in a uniform magnetic field of 0.30 T. What is
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

The magnitude of the magnetic torque on the loop when the plane of its area is perpendicular to the magnetic field is 0.4713 J

Explanation:

Given;

radius of the circular loop of wire = 0.5 m

current in circular loop of wire = 2 A

strength of magnetic field in the wire = 0.3 T

τ = μ x Bsinθ

where;

τ is the magnitude of the magnetic torque

μ is the dipole moment of the magnetic field

θ is the inclination angle, for a plane area perpendicular to the magnetic field, θ = 90

μ = IA

where;

I is current in circular loop of wire

A is area of the circular loop = πr² = π(0.5)² = 0.7855 m²

μ = 2 x 0.7885 = 1.571 A.m²

τ = μ x Bsinθ =  1.571 x 0.3 sin(90)

τ = 0.4713 J

Therefore, the magnitude of the magnetic torque on the loop when the plane of its area is perpendicular to the magnetic field is 0.4713 J

An electric toaster is rated 1200 watts at 120 volts. what is the total electrical energy used to operate the toaster for 30 sec
Anarel [89]
Energy is calculated as power*time, so give the wattage of 1200 W (equivalent to 1200 Joules/second) and time of 30 seconds, multiplying these gives 36000 J or 36 kJ of electrical energy.

If electrical charge or current is needed: Power = voltage * current, so given the power of 1200 watts and voltage of 120 V, current is 1200 W / 120 V = 10 Amperes. Charge is calculated by multiplying 10 A*30 s = 300 C.
