Explain why distance has a larger impact on the gravitational force between two objects than mass does.

1 answer:

8 0

if the mass of both of the objects is doubled, then the force of gravity between them is quadrupled. Since gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the separation distance between the two interacting objects, more separation distance will result in weaker gravitational forces.

when an apple falls towards the earth the earth moves up to meet the apple. Is it true? If yes, why is the earth motion not noti

timurjin [86]

Answer:

Explanation:

The apple also exerts an equal and opposite force on the earth but earth does not move because the mass of apple is very small,due to which the gravitational force produces a large acceleration in it (a=F/m) and we can see the apple falling towards the earth but the mass of earth is very large,the same gravitational .

The Earth revolves around the Sun once a year at an average distance of 1.50×1011m. Find the orbital radius that corresponds to

DedPeter [7]

Answer:

$9.4\cdot 10^{10} m$

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using Kepler's third law, which states that the ratio between the cube of the orbital radius and the square of the orbital period is constant for every object orbiting the Sun. So we can write

$\frac{r_a^3}{T_a^2}=\frac{r_e^3}{T_e^2}$

where

$r_o$ is the distance of the new object from the sun (orbital radius)

$T_o=180 d$ is the orbital period of the object

$r_e = 1.50\cdot 10^{11} m$ is the orbital radius of the Earth

$T_e=365 d$ is the orbital period the Earth

Solving the equation for $r_o$ , we find

$r_o = \sqrt[3]{\frac{r_e^3}{T_e^2}T_o^2} =\sqrt[3]{\frac{(1.50\cdot 10^{11}m)^3}{(365 d)^2}(180 d)^2}=9.4\cdot 10^{10} m$

A particle moves along the x axis. It is intially at the position 0.270 m, moving with velocity 0.140 m/s and acceleration -0.32

Nataliya [291]

Answer:

The position of the particle is -2.34 m.

Explanation:

Hi there!

The equation of position of a particle moving in a straight line with constant acceleration is the following:

x = x0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · a · t²

Where:

x = position of the particle at a time t:

x0 = initial position.

v0 = initial velocity.

t = time

a = acceleration

We have the following information:

x0 = 0.270 m

v0 = 0.140 m/s

a = -0.320 m/s²

t = 4.50 s (In the question, where it says "4.50 m/s^2" it should say "4.50 s". I have looked on the web and have confirmed it).

Then, we have all the needed data to calculate the position of the particle:

x = x0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · a · t²

x = 0.270 m + 0.140 m/s · 4.50 s - 1/2 · 0.320 m/s² · (4.50 s)²

x = -2.34 m

The position of the particle is -2.34 m.

A 69.5-kg person throws a 0.0475-kg snowball forward with a ground speed of 31.5 m/s. A second person, with a mass of 57.5 kg, c

Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

- After throwing the snow, velocity of the thrower is 2.33 m/s

- the velocity of the receiver is 0.026 m/s

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Using conservation of momentum,

Initial thrower has a momentum of mv; $m_{total$ v

(69.5 kg + 0.0475 kg) × 2.35 m/s = 163.4366 kg.m/s

Now, When he throws it at 31.5 m/s, these constitutes a momentum of;

(0.0475 kg )(31.5 m/s) = 1.49625 kg.m/s

hence his momentum now is: 163.4366 - 1.49625 = 161.94035 kg.m/s

To get his velocity, we say;

161.94035 = mv

{ he lost weight of the snow ball so, m = 69.5 kg )

161.94035 = 69.5 × v

v = 161.94035 / 69.5

v = 2.33 m/s

Therefore, After throwing the snow, velocity of the thrower is 2.33 m/s

Next is the Receiver;

the receiver will gain momentum of 1.49625 kg.m/s

he has no momentum initially and after he catches the snow ball;

1.49625 kg.m/s = mv

1.49625 kg.m/s = ( 57.5 kg + 0.0475 kg ) × v

1.49625 kg.m/s = 57.5475 kg × v

v = ( 1.49625 kg.m/s ) / 57.5475 kg

v = 0.026 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the receiver is 0.026 m/s
