The 0.100 kg sphere in (Figure 1) is released from rest at the position shown in the sketch, with its center 0.400 m from the ce

nter of the 5.00 kg mass. Assume that the only forces on the 0.100 kg sphere are the gravitational forces exerted by the other two spheres and that the 5.00 kg and 10.0 kg spheres are held in place at their initial positions.

Answer:

the speed of 0.10 sphere when it is moved to 0.20 kg  to the left is :   3.3337*10^{-5} \ m/s

Explanation:

Using the expression of the Change in  Gravitational Potential Energy:

U= -(\frac{ Gm_1m_2 }{r_2} - \frac{ Gm_1m_2 }{r_1}) \\ \\ U=Gm_1m_2 (\frac{ 1 }{r_2} - \frac{ 1 }{r_1})

So when the sphere exerts just 10 kg mass; the change in the gravitational potential energy is :

U_1=Gm_1m_2 (\frac{ 1 }{r_2} - \frac{ 1 }{r_1})

U_1=6.67*10^{-11}*0.1 \ kg*10 \ kg(\frac{ 1 }{0.6 \ m} - \frac{ 1 }{0.8 \ m})

U_1 = 2.778*10^{-11} J

the change in the gravitational potential energy  when the sphere exerts just 5 kg mass is ;

U_2=Gm_1m_2 (\frac{ 1 }{r_2} - \frac{ 1 }{r_1})

U_2=6.67*10^{-11}*0.1 \ kg*5 \ kg(\frac{ 1 }{0.4 \ m} - \frac{ 1 }{0.2 \ m})

U_2 = -8.335*10^{-11} J

The net total change is:

U_{total } = U_1 +U_2

U_{total} = 2.778*10^{-11} + (-8.335*10^{-11})

U_{total} = -5.557*10^{-11}

We all know that for there to be a balance ;loss of gravitational potential energy must be equal to the gain in kinetic energy .

SO;

K.E =  5.557*10^{-11}

\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = 5.557*10^{-11}

v^2 = \frac{2*5.557*10^{-11} \ J}{m_1}

v=\sqrt{ \frac{2*5.557*10^{-11} \ J}{0. 1 \kg}

v = 3.3337*10^{-5} \ m/s

Thus, the speed of 0.10 sphere when it is moved to 0.20 kg  to the left is :   3.3337*10^{-5} \ m/s

Sound travels faster through rigid material like steel rather than through spongy materials like rubber. Why?
drek231 [11]
<span>since sound travels using mechanical waves and needs a material medium to propagate and since mechanical waves spread through vibrations ...and since hard materials have their atoms packed closely....they need to vibrate with a smaller amplitude to pass on the wave....thus sound travels faster in a denser medium than a less dense one.</span>

Sound travels about 750 miles per hour. if you stand in a canyon and sound a horn, you will hear an echo. suppose it takes about
diamong [38]
The answer to this question would be:3850ft

To answer this question, you need to convert the speed velocity from miles/hour into feet/second. The equation would be: 750 miles/hour x 5280 foot/mile x 1 hour/3600second = 1100 ft/s
Then multiply the time with the velocity= 3.5 second x 1100 ft/s= 3850ft
