What upward gravitational force does a 5600kg elephant exert on the earth?

2 answers:

8 0

Force is determined by multiplying mass and gravity (F= mg). To determine the answer, the mass of the elephant (5600 kg) is multiplied with the gravity (9.8 m/s²). The answer is 5800 N. This is the upward gravitational force that the elephant exerts on the earth.

Answer

54,880 N

Explanation

The Gravitational force is the force exited by an object towards the center of the earth. It is called the weight of an object. The Newton's 2nd law of motion says that for every action there is equal and opposite reaction. So, if the elephant exerts a force on the earth, the earth exerts an equal force to the elephant.

Weight = mass × gravity

= 5600 × 9.8

= 54,880 N

If the humidity in a room of volume 450 m3 at 30 ∘C is 75%, what mass of water can still evaporate from an open pan?

Yuliya22 [10]

From tables,

SVP at 30°C = 4.24 kPa

From ideal gas expressions;
n = PV/RT = (4.24*1000*450)/(8.314*303) = 757.4 moles

Now, 75% of 757.4 moles will evaporate leaving 20%. Then, 25% of 757.5 moles...
25% of 757.4 moles = 25/100*757.4 = 189.35 moles
Mass of 189.35 moles = 189.35 moles*18 g/mol = 3408.3 g ≈ 3.4 kg

Maria throws an apple vertically upward from a height of 1.3 m with an initial velocity of +2.8 m/s. Will the apple reach a frie

evablogger [386]

Answer:

No, the apple will reach 4.20041 m below the tree house.

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity = 2.8 m/s

v = Final velocity = 0

s = Displacement

g = Acceleration due to gravity = -9.81 m/s² = a (negative as it is going up)

Equation of motion

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{0^2-2.8^2}{2\times -9.81}\\\Rightarrow s=0.39959\ m$

The height to which the apple above the point of release will reach is 0.39959 m

From the ground the distance will be 1.3+0.39959 = 1.69959 m

Distance from the tree house = 5.9-1.69959 = 4.20041 m

No, the apple will reach 4.20041 m below the tree house.

marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

Please find the answer in the explanation

Explanation:

Given that A 1.0 g plastic bead, with a charge of -6.0 nC, is suspended between the two plates by the force of the electric field between them.

Since it is suspended, it must have been repelled by the bottom negative plate and trying to be attracted to the top plate.

We can therefore conclude that the upper plate, is positively charged

B.) The charge on the positive plate of parallel-plate capacitor is constructed of two horizontal 12.0-cm-diameter circular plates must be less than 6.0 nC

mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

Explanation:

One of the ways to address this issue is through the options given by the statement. The concepts related to the continuity equation and the Bernoulli equation.

Through these two equations it is possible to observe the behavior of the fluid, specifically the velocity at a constant height.

By definition the equation of continuity is,

$A_1V_1=A_2V_2$

In the problem $A_2$ is $2A_1$ , then

$A_1V_1=2A_1V_2$

$V_2 = \frac{V_1}{2}$

Here we can conclude that by means of the continuity when increasing the Area, a decrease will be obtained - in the diminished times in the area - in the speed.

For the particular case of Bernoulli we have to

$P_1 + \frac{1}{2}\rho V_1^2 = P_2 +\frac{1}{2}\rho V_2^2$

$P_2-P_1 = \frac{1}{2} \rho (V_1^2-V_2^2)$

For the previous definition we can now replace,

$P_2-P_1 = \frac{1}{2} \rho (V_1^2-(\frac{V_1}{2})^2)$

$\Delta P = \frac{3}{8} \rho V_1^2$

Expressed from Bernoulli's equation we can identify that the greater the change that exists in pressure, fluid velocity will tend to decrease

The correct answer is B: "If we increase A2 then by the continuity equation the speed of the fluid should decrease. Bernoulli's equation then shows that if the velocity of the fluid decreases (at constant height conditions) then the pressure of the fluid should increase"
