Because earths gravitational force is greater than that of the moon.

Answer:

Gravitational force exists between any two bodies having mass. It is proportional to the mass of two bodies and inversely proportional to the square of distance between them.

F=G\frac{Mm}{d^2}

Thus, with increase in distance, the gravitational force decreases.

Acorn falls to Earth because of the following two reasons:

1. Mass of Earth > Mass of Moon

2. Acorn is closer to the Earth

Thus, the gravitation force of attraction is greater towards the Earth.

A 1.20 kg solid ball of radius 40 cm rolls down a 5.20 m long incline of 25 degrees. Ignoring any loss due to friction, how fast
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

1.6s

Explanation:

Given that A 1.20 kg solid ball of radius 40 cm rolls down a 5.20 m long incline of 25 degrees. Ignoring any loss due to friction,

To know how fast the ball will roll when it reaches the bottom of the incline, we need to calculate the acceleration at which it is rolling.

Since the frictional force is negligible, at the top of the incline plane, the potential energy = mgh

Where h = 5.2sin25

h = 2.2 m

P.E = 1.2 × 9.8 × 2.2

P.E = 25.84 j

At the bottom, K.E = P.E

1/2mv^2 = 25.84

Substitutes mass into the formula

1.2 × V^2 = 51.69

V^2 = 51.69/1.2

V^2 = 43.07

V = 6.56 m/s

Using the third equation of motion

V^2 = U^2 + 2as

Since the object started from rest,

U = 0

6.56^2 = 2 × a × 5.2

43.07 = 10.4a

a = 43.07/10.4

a = 4.14 m/s^2

Using the first equation of motion,

V = U + at

Where U = 0

6.56 = 4.14t

t = 6.56/4.14

t = 1.58s

Therefore, the time the ball rolls when it reaches the bottom of the incline is approximately 1.6s

The High Speed Industrial Drill With Diameter Of 98 Cm Develops 5.85hp At 1900 Rpm. What Torque And Force Is Applied To The Dril
STatiana [176]

Answer:

The torque applied by the drill bit is T = 16.2 Nm and the cutting force of the drill bit is F = 33 N.

Explanation:

Given:-

- The diameter of the drill bit, d = 98 cm

- The power at which drill works, P = 5.85 hp

- The rotational speed of drill, N = 1900 rpm

Find:-

What Torque And Force Is Applied To The Drill Bit?

Solution:-

- The amount of torque (T) generated at the periphery of the cutting edges of the drilling bit when it is driven at a power of (P) horsepower at some rotational speed (N).

- The relation between these quantities is given:

                         T = 5252*P / N

                         T = 5252*5.85 / 1900

                         T = 16.171 Nm

- The force (F) applied at the periphery of the drill bit cutting edge at a distance of radius from the center of drill bit can be determined from the definition of Torque (T) being a cross product of the Force (F) and a moment arm (r):

                          T = F*r

Where,   r = d / 2

                          F = 2T / d

                          F = 2*16.171 / 0.98

                          F = 33 N

Answer: The torque applied by the drill bit is T = 16.2 Nm and the cutting force of the drill bit is F = 33 N.
