Which of the following changes would increase the force between two

Physics
1 answer:
Tomtit [17]1 year ago
8 0

The answer is A. Decreasing the distance between the particles by a factor of 3.

The Universal Law of Gravitation is :

F = Gm₁m₂ / r² (where 'r' is the distance between them)

Since force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them, distance has to be decreased by a factor of 3 to increase the force to 9 times the original force.

A rotating space station is said to create "artificial gravity" - a loosely-defined term used for an acceleration that would be
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

\omega=0.31\frac{rad}{s}

Explanation:

The artificial gravity generated by the rotating space station is the same centripetal acceleration due to the rotational motion of the station, which is given by:

a_c=\frac{v^2}{r}(1)

Here, r is the radius and v is the tangential speed, which is given by:

v=\omega r(2)

Here \omega is the angular velocity, we replace (2) in (1):

a_c=\frac{(\omega r)^2}{r}\\\\a_c=\omega^2r

Recall that r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{200m}{2}=100m.

Solving for \omega:

\omega=\sqrt{\frac{a_c}{r}}\\\omega=\sqrt{\frac{9.8\frac{m}{s^2}}{100m}}\\\omega=0.31\frac{rad}{s}

A river flows due south at 5 mi/h. A swimmer attempting to cross the river heads due east swimming at 3 mi/h relative to the wat
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

<u>velocity of swimmer relative to ground = 3 i -5 j</u>

Explanation:

  • To cross a river the swimmer swims relative to river in perpendicular direction.

Velocity of river = -5 j (south)

Velocity of swimmer relative to river = 3 i(north)

So

<h2>Velocity of swimmer relative to ground = Velocity of swimmer relative to river + Velocity of river</h2>

Velocity of swimmer relative to ground = 3 i -5 j

So magnitude of total velocity is \sqrt{3^2+(-5)^2} =\sqrt{9+25} = \sqrt{34}

5. Sarah is standing 32.0 m away from Jason. If Sarah throws a snowball at a 45 degree
padilas [110]

Answer:

Explanation:

If air resistance is ignored and assume UP and Toward Jason are the positive directions.

horizontal analysis

d = (vx₀)t

t = d/vx₀

horizontal analysis

0 = vy₀t + ½gt²

0 = vy₀(d/vx₀)+ ½g(d/vx₀)²

as vy₀ = v₀sin45 and vx₀ = v₀cos45 and are equal.

0 = d + ½g(d²/v₀²cos²45)

-d = ½g(d²/v₀²cos²45)

-dv₀² = ½g(d²/cos²45)

   v₀² = -½g(d/cos²45)

   v₀² = -½(-9.81(32.0/cos²45)

   v₀² = 313.92

   v₀ = 17.717787...

   v₀ = 17.7 m/s
