Answer:

7327 kg or 7.3 tons

Explanation:

We have Newton formula for attraction force between 2 objects with mass and a distance between them:

F_G = G\frac{M_1M_2}{R^2}

where G =6.67408*10^{-11} m^3/kgs^2 is the gravitational constant on Earth. M = M_1 = M_2 is the masses of the 2 objects. and R = 2.6m is the distance between them.

F_G = 5.3*10^{-4}N is the attraction force.

5.3*10^{-4} = 6.67408*10^{-11}\frac{M^2}{2.6^2}

7941265 = \frac{M^2}{2.6^2}

M^2 = 53682948.76

M = \sqrt{53682948.76} \approx 7327 kg or 7.3 tons

Kay [80]
Donna's doctor must have diagnosed her with muscle cramps. With the given symptoms above, it is likely that she is experiencing muscle cramps. Muscle cramps most likely happen when the individual experiencing it is lack of fluid intake, causing the muscles to tighten causing pain and for the muscle to contract involuntarily.

If vx=9.80 units and vy=-6.40 units, determine the magnitude and direction of v
dexar [7]
The resultant vector can be determined by the component vectors. The component vectors are vector lying along the x and y-axes. The equation for the resultant vector, v is:

v = √(vx² + vy²)
v = √[(9.80)² + (-6.40)²]
v = √137 or 11.7 units

If you wished to warm 100 kg of water by 15 degrees celsius for your bath, how much heat would be required? (give your answer in
Anit [1.1K]
For the answer to the question above, 
<span>Q = amount of heat (kJ) </span>
<span>cp = specific heat capacity (kJ/kg.K) = 4.187 kJ/kgK </span>
<span>m = mass (kg) </span>
<span>dT = temperature difference between hot and cold side (K). Note: dt in °C = dt in Kelvin </span>

<span>Q = 100kg * (4.187 kJ/kgK) * 15 K </span>
<span>Q = 6,280.5 KJ = 6,280,500 J = 1,501,075.5 cal</span>

your drop a coin from the top of a hundred-story building(1000m). If you ignore air resistance, how fast will it be falling righ
Ede4ka [16]

consider the motion of con from top to bottom

Y = vertical displacement = 1000 m

a = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

v₀ = initial velocity at the top = 0 m/s

v = final velocity at the bottom = ?

using the kinematics equation

v² = v²₀ + 2 aY

v² = 0² + 2 (9.8) (1000)

v = 140 m/s


t = time taken to hit the ground

Using the equation

v = v₀ + at

140 = 0 + 9.8 t

t = 14.3 sec

Human muscles have an efficiency of about __________. A. 9 to 17% B. 18 to 26% C. 27 to 35% D. 36 to 44%
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

The correct answer would be B. 18 to 26%.

The muscle efficiency is calculated by dividing mechanical work output by total metabolic cost.

It is estimated that human muscles have an efficiency of about 18% to 26%.

The efficiency is low because most of the energy is lost when food energy is converted into ATP (adenosine triphophate).

In addition, there is second energy loss when energy in the form of ATP is converted into the mechanical energy such as rowing, cycling et cetera.
