Answer:

The gravitational force between them increases by a factor of 4

Explanation:

Gravitational force is a force of attraction between two objects with masses M and m which are separated by a distance R. It is given mathematically as:

Fg = GMm/R²

Where G = Gravitational constant.

If the distance between their centers, R, decreases by a factor of 2, then it means the new distance between their centers is:

r = R/2

Hence,the gravitational force becomes:

Fg = GMm/r²

Fg = GMm/(R/2)²

Fg = GMm/(R²/4)

Fg = 4GMm/R²

Hence,the gravitational force increases by a factor of 4.

A student puts a beaker of boiling water where it touches a block of ice.
Bumek [7]

Answer:

Option (A).

Explanation:

When a hot and a cold objects come in thermal contact with each other,exchange of heat takes place between them until thermal equilibrium is reached.

In this process thermal energy flows from high temperature to low.

Therefore, when a beaker of boiling water comes in touch with a block of ice,

Thermal energy starts flowing from boiling water to block of ice until equilibrium is established.

Option (A) will be the answer.

A vertical spring with a spring constant of 420 N/m is mounted on the floor. From directly above the spring, which is unstrained
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

19.53 cm

Explanation:

The computation of the height is as follows:

Here we applied the conservation of the energy formula

As we know that

P.E of the block = P.E of the spring

 m g h = ( 1 ÷ 2) k x^2

where

m = 0.15

g = 9.81

k = 420

x = 0.037

So now put the values to the above formula

(0.15) (9.81) (h) = 1 ÷2 × 420 × (0.037)^2

1.4715 (h) = 0.28749

h = 0.19537 m

= 19.53 cm

uniform disk with mass 40.0 kg and radius 0.200 m is pivoted at its center about a horizontal, frictionless axle that is station
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

The magnitude of the tangential velocity is v= 0.868 m/s

The magnitude of the resultant acceleration at that point is  a = 4.057 m/s^2

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

      The mass of the uniform disk is m_d = 40.0kg

       The radius of the uniform disk is R_d = 0.200m

       The force applied on the disk is F_d = 30.0N

Generally the angular speed i mathematically represented as

             w = \sqrt{2 \alpha  \theta}

Where \theta is the angular displacement given from the question as

           \theta  = 0.2000 rev = 0.2000 rev * \frac{2 \pi \ rad }{1 rev}

                 =1.257\  rad

   \alpha is the angular acceleration which is mathematically represented as

                    \alpha = \frac{torque }{moment \ of  \ inertia}  = \frac{F_d * R_d}{I}

    The moment of inertial is mathematically represented as

                     I = \frac{1}{2} m_dR^2_d

Substituting values

                    I = 0.5 * 40 * 0.200^2

                        = 0.8kg \cdot m^2

Considering the equation for angular acceleration

               \alpha = \frac{torque }{moment \ of  \ inertia}  = \frac{F_d * R_d}{I}

Substituting values

               \alph\alpha = \frac{(30.0)(0.200)}{0.8}

                   = 7.5 rad/s^2

Considering the equation for angular velocity

    w = \sqrt{2 \alpha  \theta}

Substituting values

     w =\sqrt{2 * (7.5) * 1.257}

         = 4.34 \ rad/s

The tangential velocity of a given point on the rim is mathematically represented as

                 v = R_d w

Substituting values

                    = (0.200)(4.34)

                     v= 0.868 m/s

The radial acceleration at hat point  is mathematically represented as

            \alpha_r = \frac{v^2}{R}

                  = \frac{0.868^2}{0.200^2}

                 = 3.7699 \ m/s^2

The tangential acceleration at that point is mathematically represented as

               \alpha _t = R \alpha

Substituting values

           \alpha _t = (0.200) (7.5)

                 = 1.5 m/s^2

The magnitude of resultant acceleration at that point is

                 a = \sqrt{\alpha_r ^2+ \alpha_t^2 }

Substituting values

                a = \sqrt{(3.7699)^2 + (1.5)^2}

                   a = 4.057 m/s^2

What is the acceleration of a car that moves at a steady velocity of 100km/h for 100s?
vivado [14]

Answer:

the answer is 0

Explanation:

The acceleration of a car that maintains a constant velocity of 100 km/h for 100s is zero. Acceleration is a change in velocity. Thus, if velocity is constant, that means there is no change and velocity stays the same.

Suppose a plot of inverse wavelength vs frequency has slope equal to 0.119, what is the speed of sound traveling in the tube to
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

8.40 m/s

Explanation:

Slope of the plot is 0.119

Slope of a plot is given by the change in y direction divided by the change in x direction

Here, the y axis represents inverse wavelength and the x axis represents frequency.

f = Frequency (Hz, assumed)

v = Phase velocity (m/s, assumed)

λ = Wavelength (m, assumed)

So, slope

m=\frac{\frac{1}{\lambda}}{f}

Now,

\lambda=\frac{v}{f}\\\Rightarrow \lambda^{-1}=\frac{f}{v}

\\\Rightarrow m=\frac{\frac{f}{v}}{f}\\\Rightarrow 0.119=\frac{1}{v}\\\Rightarrow v=\frac{1}{0.119}\\\Rightarrow v=8.40\ m/s

The speed of sound travelling in the tube is 8.40 m/s
