How do the accelerations of the rifle and bullet compare?

Physics

Answer:

The acceleration of the rifle equals the force that the bullet exerts on the rifle divided by the mass of the rifle. The two forces are equal, but since the mass of the rifle is much greater than the mass of the bullet, the acceleration of the rifle is much less than the bullet's acceleration.

lanet R47A is a spherical planet where the gravitational acceleration on the surface is 3.45 m/s2. A satellite orbitsPlanet R47A

$2.6×10^6\:\text{m}$

Explanation:

The acceleration due to gravity g is defined as

$g = G\dfrac{M}{R^2}$

and solving for R, we find that

$R = \sqrt{\dfrac{GM}{g}}\:\:\:\:\:\:\:(1)$

We need the mass M of the planet first and we can do that by noting that the centripetal acceleration $F_c$ experienced by the satellite is equal to the gravitational force $F_G$ or

$F_c = F_G \Rightarrow m\dfrac{v^2}{r} = G\dfrac{mM}{r^2}\:\:\:\:\:(2)$

The orbital velocity v is the velocity of the satellite around the planet defined as

$v = \dfrac{2\pi r}{T}$

where r is the radius of the satellite's orbit in meters and T is the period or the time it takes for the satellite to circle the planet in seconds. We can then rewrite Eqn(2) as

$\dfrac{4\pi^2 r}{T^2} = G\dfrac{M}{r^2}$

Solving for M, we get

$M = \dfrac{4\pi^2 r^3}{GT^2}$

Putting this expression back into Eqn(1), we get

$R = \sqrt{\dfrac{G}{g}\left(\dfrac{4\pi^2 r^3}{GT^2}\right)}$

$\:\:\:\:=\dfrac{2\pi}{T}\sqrt{\dfrac{r^3}{g}}$

$\:\:\:\:=\dfrac{2\pi}{(1.44×10^4\:\text{s})}\sqrt{\dfrac{(5×10^6\:\text{m})^3}{(3.45\:\text{m/s}^2)}}$

$\:\:\:\:= 2.6×10^6\:\text{m}$

Two objects have a force of gravity of 100 N. If the distance between both objects decreases by a factor of 7, while the masses

Shkiper50 [21]

The gravitational force F between two masses M and m a distance r apart is

F = G M m / r ²

Decrease the distance by a factor of 7 by replacing r with r / 7, and decrease both masses by a factor of 8 by replacing M and m with M / 8 and m / 8, respectively. Then the new force F* is

F* = G (M / 8) (m / 8) / (r / 7)²

F* = (1/64 × G M m) / (1/49 × r ²)

F* = 49/64 × G M m / r ²

In other words, the new force is scaled down by a factor of 49/64 ≈ 0.7656, so the new force has magnitude approx. 76.56 N.

Ann has a geography test next Friday. She needs to know all the US states and their capitals. Provide three effective techniques

Mumz [18]

Answer: THIS IS THE EXACT ANSWER

Three effective techniques Ann could use to learn all the US states and their state capitals are visualization and association, creating a mnemonic device, and rhyming. She could learn some of the states and their capitals by visualizing her own experiences in or about the state. As an example of association, if Ann visited Idaho last winter to see her twin brothers, she might think “I went to Idaho to visit the boys” (sounds like Boise). By employing association, she connects her own life experience to the information she wants to remember to make recalling the information easier. To remember the capital of Washington, Ann might create a mnemonic device like “George Washington went to the Olympics” (Washington’s capital is Olympia). Mnemonic devices organize information to encode it in a way that helps with recall. To effectively use rhyming, she might remember Michigan is a northern state and use “Reindeer prancing in Lansing.” Rhyming provides a cue that helps with recall. All three of these techniques work in the encoding and retrieval stages.
