<span>Answer: F=GMm/r^2 where G is the newtonian grav cst, M the mass of the star, m the mass of the planet, and r the planet-star distance F1=GMm1/r1^2 F2=GMm2/r^2 F2/F1 = [GMm2/r2^2]/[GMm1/r1^2] F2/F1=(m2/m1)(r1/r2)^2 = (2)(1/2)^2 = 1/2 because m2/m1=2 and r2/r1=2</span>

"if the left-hand mass is 2.3 kg ,what should the right-hand mass be so that it accelerates downslope at 0.64 m/s2?"
VARVARA [1.3K]

m₁ = 2.3 kg <span>
θ₁ = 70° </span><span>
θ₂ = 17° </span><span>
g = 9.8 m/s² 

->The component of the gravitational force on m₁ that is parallel down the incline is: </span><span>
F₁ = m₁ × g × sin(θ₁) </span><span>
F₁ = (2.3 kg) × (9.8 m/s²) × sin(70°) = 21.18 N </span><span>

->The component of the gravitational force on m₂ that is parallel down the incline is: </span><span>
F₂ = m₂ × g × sin(θ₂) </span><span>
F₂ = m₂ × (9.8 m/s²) × sin(70°) = m₂ × (2.86 m/s²) </span><span>

Then the total mass of the system is: 
m = m₁ + m₂ </span><span>
m = (2.3 kg) + m₂ </span><span>

If it is given that m₂ slides down the incline, then F₂ must be bigger than F₁, </span><span>
and so the net force on the system must be: 
F = m₂×(2.86 m/s²) - (21.18 N) </span><span>

Using Newton's second law, we know that 
F = m × a 
So if we want the acceleration to be 0.64 m/s², then 
m₂×(2.86 m/s²) - (21.18 N) = [(2.3 kg) + m₂] × (0.64 m/s²) </span><span>
m₂×(2.86 m/s²) - (21.18 N) = (1.47 N) + m₂×(0.64 m/s²) </span><span>
m₂×(2.22 m/s²) = (22.65 N) </span><span>
m₂<span> = 10.2 kg</span></span>

True or false: The maximum tensile force a solid, cylindrical wire can withstand increases as the thickness of the wire increase
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The tensile stress, σ, on a solid cylindrical wire is given by the following relationship;

\sigma = \dfrac{F_t}{A_o}

Where;

F_t = The tensile force

A_o = The original cross sectional area of the cylindrical wire = π·R²

R = The radius of the wire

Therefore;

F_t = σ × A_o = σ × π × R²

Therefore, the tensile force is directly proportional to the square of the radius of the cylindrical wire, and as the radius of the wire increases, which is by increasing the thickness of the wire, the tensile force is largely increased

The correct option is; True.
