Gravity causes objects to be attracted to one another. This attraction keeps our feet firmly planted on the ground and causes th

e moon to orbit the earth. The force of gravitational attraction is represented by the equation
F=Gm1m2r2
where F is the magnitude of the gravitational attraction on either body, m1 and m2 are the masses of the bodies, r is the distance between them, and G is the gravitational constant. In SI units, the units of force are kg⋅m/s2, the units of mass are kg, and the units of distance are m. For this equation to have consistent units, the units of G must be which of the following?

The unit of the gravitational constant is \boxed{{{{{\text{m}}^{\text{3}}}} \mathord{\left/{\vphantom {{{{\text{m}}^{\text{3}}}} {{\text{kg}} \cdot {{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}}}} \right.\kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {{\text{kg}} \cdot {{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}}}}.

Further Explanation:

The Newton’s law of gravitation states that the force of attraction experienced by two bodies is directly proportional to the product of their mass and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the two bodies.

The mathematical expression for the Newton’s law of gravitation is as shown below.

F = \dfrac{{G{m_1}{m_2}}}{{{r^2}}}  

Here, G is the gravitational constant, {m_1}\& {m_2} are the mass of two bodies and r is the distance of the bodies.

Simplify the expression for the gravitational constant G.

G = \dfrac{{F{r^2}}}{{{m_1}{m_2}}}

The SI unit of force is {{{\text{kg}} \cdot {\text{m}}} \mathord{\left/{\vphantom {{{\text{kg}} \cdot {\text{m}}} {{{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}}}} \right.\kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {{{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}}}, the unit of distance is  and the unit of mass is {\text{kg}}.

Substitute the SI units of force, distance and mass in the above expression.

\begin{aligned}G&=\dfrac{(\text{kg}\cdot\text{m/s}^2)(\text{m})^2}{(\text{kg})(\text{kg})}\\&=\frac{\text{m}^2}{\text{kg}\cdot\text{s}^2}\\&=\text{m}^3/\text{kg}\cdot\text{s}^2\end{aligned}  

Thus, the unit of the gravitational constant is  \boxed{{{{{\text{m}}^{\text{3}}}} \mathord{\left/{\vphantom {{{{\text{m}}^{\text{3}}}} {{\text{kg}} \cdot {{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}}}} \right.\kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {{\text{kg}} \cdot {{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}}}}.

The units of G must be C. m³ / ( kg s² )

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Newton's gravitational law states that the force of attraction between two objects can be formulated as follows:

\large {\boxed {F = G \frac{m_1 ~ m_2}{R^2}} }

<em>F = Gravitational Force ( Newton )</em>

<em>G = Gravitational Constant ( 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ Nm² / kg² )</em>

<em>m = Object's Mass ( kg )</em>

<em>R = Distance Between Objects ( m )</em>

Let us now tackle the problem !

To find unit of Gravitational Constant can be carried out in the following way:

F = G \frac{m_1 ~ m_2}{R^2}

{[N]}= G\frac{{[kg]}{[kg]}}{{[m^2]}}

{[kg ~ m / s^2]}= G \frac{{[kg^2]}}{{[m^2]}}

G = \frac{{[kg ~ m / s^2]}{[m^2]}} {{[kg^2]} }

G = \frac{{[kg ~ m^3 / s^2]}} {{[kg^2]} }

G = \frac{{[m^3 / s^2]}} {{[kg]} }

\boxed {G = \frac{{[m^3]}} {{[kg ~ s^2]} }}

The unit of G must be \large {\boxed {\frac{m^3} {kg ~ s^2 }}}

Krishna wants to measure the mass and volume of a key. Which tools should she use?
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

a balance and a beaker of water

Explanation:

The mass can easily be measured with balance. If you drop the key in a beaker of water, the water inside the beaker will increase and this increases the volume of water that will be equal to volume of key.

A coil is wrapped with 300 turns of wire on the perimeter of a circular frame (radius = 8.0 cm). Each turn has the same area, eq
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

Approximately 18 volts when the magnetic field strength increases from \rm 20\; mT to \rm 80\;mT at a constant rate.

Explanation:

By the Faraday's Law of Induction, the EMF \epsilon that a changing magnetic flux induces in a coil is:

\displaystyle \epsilon = N \cdot \frac{d\phi}{dt},

where

  • N is the number of turns in the coil, and
  • \displaystyle \frac{d\phi}{dt} is the rate of change in magnetic flux through this coil.

However, for a coil the magnetic flux \phi is equal to

\phi = B \cdot A\cdot \cos{\theta},

where

  • B is the magnetic field strength at the coil, and
  • A\cdot \cos{\theta} is the area of the coil perpendicular to the magnetic field.

For this coil, the magnetic field is perpendicular to coil, so \theta = 0 and A\cdot \cos{\theta} = A. The area of this circular coil is equal to \pi\cdot r^{2} = \pi\times 8.0\times 10^{-2}\approx \rm 0.0201062\; m^{2}.

A\cdot \cos{\theta} = A doesn't change, so the rate of change in the magnetic flux \phi through the coil depends only on the rate of change in the magnetic field strength B. The size of the magnetic field at the instant that B = \rm 50\; mT will not matter as long as the rate of change in B is constant.

\displaystyle \begin{aligned} \frac{d\phi}{dt} &= \frac{\Delta B}{\Delta t}\times A \\&= \rm \frac{80\times 10^{-3}\; T- 20\times 10^{-3}\; T}{20\times 10^{-3}\; s}\times 0.0201062\;m^{2}\\&= \rm 0.0603186\; T\cdot m^{2}\cdot s^{-1}\end{aligned}.

As a result,

\displaystyle \epsilon = N \cdot \frac{d\phi}{dt} = \rm 300 \times 0.0603186\; T\cdot m^{2}\cdot s^{-1} \approx 18\; V.
