What is the effect on the force of gravity between two objects if the mass of one object remains unchanged while the distance to

the second object and the second object's mass are both doubled?

Answer:

The force of gravity after you double the mass and the distance is half of the initial force: F_{2}=\frac{1}{2}F_{1}

Explanation:

The initial force of gravity is:

F_{1}=\frac{Gm_{1}m_{2}}{r^2}

where G is the universal gravitational constant, m_{1} is the mass of the first object, m_{2} is the mass of the second object, and r is the distance between the objects.

If the mass of the second object is doubled, now we have 2m_{2}, and if the distance between the objects is also doubled instead of r now we have 2r.

So the force of gravity now is:

F_{2}=\frac{Gm_{1}(2m_{2})}{(2r)^2}\\ F_{2}=\frac{2Gm_{1}m_{2}}{4r^2} \\F_{2}=\frac{1}{2} \frac{Gm_{1}m_{2}}{r^2}

and we know that F_{1}=\frac{Gm_{1}m_{2}}{r^2}

so the new force of gravity is:

F_{2}=\frac{1}{2}F_{1}

The force of gravity after you double the mass and the distance is half of the initial force.

Greeley [361]

Answer:

I = 215.76 A  

Explanation:

The direction of magnetic field produced by conductor 1 on the location of conductor 2 is towards left. Based on Right Hand Rule -1 and taking figure 21.3 as reference, the direction of force Fm due to magnetic field produced at C_2 is shown above. The force Fm balances the weight of conductor 2.  

Fm = u_o*I^2*L/2*π*d

where I is the current in each rod, d = 0.0082 m is the distance 27rId  

between each, L = 0.85 m is the length of each rod.

Fm = 4π*10^-7*I^2*1.1/2*π*0.0083

The mass of each rod is m = 0.0276 kg  

F_m = mg

4π*10^-7*I^2*1.1/2*π*0.0083=0.0276*9.8

I = 215.76 A  

note:

mathematical calculation maybe wrong or having little bit error but the method is perfectly fine

If a ball is given an initial speed of 15 m/s on a horizontal, frictionless surface, how fast will the ball be rolling in 5 seco
iris [78.8K]
The surface is frictionless, so there is no frictional force acting on the ball. There are no other forces acting on the ball in the horizontal direction, so it's a uniform motion with constant speed. Therefore, the velocity of the ball will remain the same for the entire duration of the motion, and so after 5 seconds the velocity is still 15 m/s.

Two satellites are in circular orbits around the earth. the orbit for satellite a is at a height of 542 km above the earth's sur
Evgen [1.6K]
Let R be radius of Earth with the amount of 6378 km h = height of satellite above Earth m = mass of satellite v = tangential velocity of satellite 
Since gravitational force varies contrariwise with the square of the distance of separation, the value of g at altitude h will be 9.8*{[R/(R+h)]^2} = g' 
So now gravity acceleration is g' and gravity is balanced by centripetal force mv^2/(R+h): 
m*v^2/(R+h) = m*g' v = sqrt[g'*(R + h)] 
Satellite A: h = 542 km so R+h = 6738 km = 6.920 e6 m g' = 9.8*(6378/6920)^2 = 8.32 m/sec^2 so v = sqrt(8.32*6.920e6) = 7587.79 m/s = 7.59 km/sec 
Satellite B: h = 838 km so R+h = 7216 km = 7.216 e6 m g' = 9.8*(6378/7216)^2 = 8.66 m/sec^2 so v = sqrt(8.32*7.216e6) = 7748.36 m/s = 7.79 km/sec
