Imagine that a star-forming cloud collapses but retains all of its mass in a single blob. In order to conserve angular momentum, the cloud must spin faster.

Conservation of angular momentum is a physical characteristic of a rotational system that keeps its rotation constant unless it is affected by an external torque. In other words, the speed is constant as long as the net torque is zero.

In angular kinematics, conservation of angular momentum refers to the tendency of the system to preserve angular momentum in the absence of external torque. If the objects collide without net external torque, the angular momentum is constant. The two objects exert equal but opposite angular momentums to maintain the full angular momentum of the colliding system.

Gravitational notes of physics ​
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

Every object in the universe attracts other object by a force of attraction, called gravitation, which is directly proportional to the product of masses of the objects and inversely proportional to the square of distance between them. This is called Law of Gravitation or Universal Law of Gravitation.

Let masses (M) and (m) of two objects are distance (d) apart. Let F be the attractional force between two masses.

Importance of The Universal Law of Gravitation

It binds us to the earth.

It is responsible for the motion of the moon around the earth.

It is responsible for the motion of planets around the Sun.

Gravitational force of moon causes tides in seas on earth.

Free Fall

When an object falls from any height under the influence of gravitational force only, it is known as free fall.

Acceleration Due to Gravity

When an object falls towards the earth there is a change in its acceleration due to the gravitational force of the earth. So this acceleration is called acceleration due to gravity.

The acceleration due to gravity is denoted by g.

The unit of g is same as the unit of acceleration, i.e., ms−2

Mathematical Expression for g

From the second law of motion, force is the product of mass and acceleration.

F = ma

For free fall, acceleration is replaced by acceleration due to gravity.

Therefore, force becomes:

F = mg ….(i)

But from Universal Law of Gravitation,

Factors Affecting the Value of g

As the radius of the earth increases from the poles to the equator, the value of g becomes greater at the poles than at the equator.

As we go at large heights, value of g decreases.

To Calculate the Value of g

Value of universal gravitational constant, G = 6.7 × 10–11 N m2/ kg2,

Mass of the earth, M = 6 × 1024 kg, and

Radius of the earth, R = 6.4 × 106 m

Putting all these values in equation (iii), we get:

Thus, the value of acceleration due to gravity of the earth, g = 9.8 m/s2.

Difference between Gravitation Constant (G) and Gravitational Acceleration (g)

S. No.

Gravitation Constant (G)

Gravitational acceleration (g)

1.

Its value is 6.67×10-11Nm2/kg2.

Its value is 9.8 m/s2.

2.

It is a scalar quantity.

It is a vactor quantity.

3.

Its value remains constant always and everywhere.

Its value varies at various places.

4.

Its unit is Nm2/kg2.

Its unit is m/s2.

Motion of Objects Under the Influence of Gravitational Force of the Earth

Let an object is falling towards earth with initial velocity u. Let its velocity, under the effect of gravitational acceleration g, changes to v after covering the height h in time t.

Then the three equations of motion can be represented as:

Velocity (v) after t seconds, v = u + ght

Height covered in t seconds, h = ut + ½gt2

Relation between v and u excluding t, v2 = u2 + 2gh

The value of g is taken as positive in case of the object is moving towards earth and taken as negative in case of the object is thrown in opposite direction of the earth.

Mass & weight

Mass (m)

The mass of a body is the quantity of matter contained in it.

Mass is a scalar quantity which has only magnitude but no direction.

Mass of a body always remains constant and does not change from place to place.

SI unit of mass is kilogram (kg).

Mass of a body can never be zero.

Weight (W)

The force with which an object is attracted towards the centre of the earth, is called the weight of the object.

Now, Force = m × a

But in case of earth, a = g

∴ F = m × g

But the force of attraction of earth on an object is called its weight (W).

∴ W = mg

As weight always acts vertically downwards, therefore, weight has both magnitude and direction and thus it is a vector quantity.

The weight of a body changes from place to place, depending on mass of object.

The SI unit of weight is Newton.

Weight of the object becomes zero if g is zero.

Weight of an Object on the Surface of Moon

Mass of an object is same on earth as well as on moon. But weight is different.

Weight of an object is given as,

Hence, weight of the object on the moon = (1/6) × its weight on the earth.

Try the following questions:

Q1. State the universal law of gravitation.

Q2. When we move from the poles to the equator, the value of g decreases. Why?

Q3. If two stones of 150 gm and 500 gm are dropped from a height, which stone will reach the surface of the earth first and why ?

Q4. Differentiate between weight and mass.

Q5. Why is the weight of an object on the moon 1/6th its weight on the earth??

The mass of an atom is ________________________.
alexandr402 [8]
The mass of an atom comes from the protons and neutrons that is found in the nucleus. The number of protons is the atomic number of an element. To find the number of neutrons, subtract the atomic number from the mass of an atom. For example, sodium’s atomic number is 11. This will tell us that sodium has 11 protons in it. The atomic mass of sodium is 23. So subtract 23 form 11 gives us 12. Therefore, there are 12 neutrons in sodium.

Compare and contrast electric conductors and electric insulators. Give an example of each.
ludmilkaskok [199]
An example of conductors of heat would be iron pans. a example of electric insulators would be copper, gold and silver. to contrast conductors and insulators, insulators let electricity pass through them while conductors restricts electricity. both conductors and insulators can work with lithium and sodium.
