gravitational force between two objects is given as
F = G m₁ m₂/r²
where m₁ = mass of first object , m₂ = mass of second object , r = distance between the two objects .
Initial case :
m₁ = m₂ = m
gravitational force between the objects is given as
F = G m²/r²
Final Case :
m₁ = m₂ = 3 m
new gravitational force between the objects is given as
F' = G (3m)²/r²
F' = 9 G m²/r²
F' = 9 F
hence the gravitational force between the two objects becomes 9 times.
Answer:
The angular velocity is slowing down.
Explanation:
- By convention, if a rigid body is rotating clockwise, the angular velocity is negative.
- If the angular acceleration has a positive sign, since the angular acceleration and the angular velocity have opposite signs, this means that the angular velocity is slowing down.
Answer:
a) 3673469.39 seconds
b) 6.61×10¹⁴ m
Explanation:
t = Time taken
u = Initial velocity
v = Final velocity = 0.12×3×10⁸ m/s
s = Displacement
a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²
Equation of motion

Time taken to reach 12% of light speed is 3673469.39 seconds

The distance it would have to travel is 6.61×10¹⁴ m
