<span>b) The force with a distance of 150 km is 889 N c) The force with a distance of 50 km is 8000 N This question looks like a mixture of a question and a critique of a previous answer. I'll attempt to address the original question. Since the radius of the spherical objects isn't mentioned anywhere, I will assume that the distance from the center of each spherical object is what's being given. The gravitational force between two masses is given as F = (G M1 M2)/r^2 where F = Force G = gravitational constant M1 = Mass 1 M2 = Mass 2 r = distance between center of masses for the two masses. So with a r value of 100 km, we have a force of 2000 Newtons. If we change the distance to 150 km, that increases the distance by a factor of 1.5 and since the force varies with the inverse square, we get the original force divided by 2.25. And 2000 / 2.25 = 888.88888.... when rounded to 3 digits gives us 889. Looking at what looks like an answer of 890 in the question is explainable as someone rounding incorrectly to 2 significant digits. If the distance is changed to 50 km from the original 100 km, then you have half the distance (50/100 = 0.5) and the squaring will give you a new divisor of 0.25, and 2000 / 0.25 = 8000. So the force increases to 8000 Newtons.</span>

(b). The gravitational force between the objects when they are 150 km apart is \boxed{889\,{\text{N}}}.

(c). The gravitational force between the objects when they are 50 km apart is \boxed{8000\,{\text{N}}} .

Further Explanation:

The gravitational force of attraction between the two bodies is given by the Newton’s Law of Gravitation. According to Newton’s law of Gravitation, the gravitational force between two bodies is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

The gravitational force is expressed mathematically as:

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

Here, G is the gravitational constant, {m_1} is the mass of first body, {m_2} is the mass of second body and r is the distance between two bodies.

For two bodies kept at a distance of 100 Km , the gravitational force of attraction is 2000 N.

Substitute 200 N for F and 100 Km for r in above equation.

\begin{aligned}2000=\frac{{G{m_1}{m_2}}}{{{{\left( {100\times {{10}^3}}\right)}^2}}}\hfill\\G{m_1}{m_2} = 2\times {10^{13}}\hfill\\\end{aligned}

<u>Part (b):</u>

Now, the force experienced by the bodies when they are 150 Km apart is:

F = \dfrac{{G{m_1}{m_2}}}{{\left( {150 \times {{10}^3}}\right)}}

Substitute 2 \times{10^8} for G{m_1}{m_2} in above equation.

\begin{aligned}F&=\frac{{2 \times {{10}^{13}}}}{{{{\left( {150 \times {{10}^3}}\right)}^2}}}\\&= 888.9\,{\text{N}}\\&\approx {\text{889}}\,{\text{N}}\\\end{aligned}

Thus, the gravitational force between the objects when they are 150 Km  apart is \boxed{889\,{\text{N}}}.

<u>Part (c): </u>

Now, the force experienced by the bodies when they are 50 km apart is:

F =\Dfrac{{G{m_1}{m_2}}}{{\left( {50 \times {{10}^3}}\right)}}

Substitute 2 \times {10^8} for G{m_1}{m_2} in above equation.

\begin{aligned}F &=\frac{{2 \times {{10}^{13}}}}{{{{\left({50 \times {{10}^3}}\right)}^2}}}\\&= 8000\,{\text{N}}\\\end{aligned}

Thus, the gravitational force between the objects when they are 50 Km  apart is  \boxed{8000\,{\text{N}}}.

Answer:

The power

Explanation:

We know that the work definition is given by the following expression:

W = F * d

where:

F = force [Newtons] [N]

d = distance [meters] [m]

W = work [Joules]

And the expression that defines the work done by unit of time is called - <u>Power</u>, therefore:

P = W/t

where:

P = power [watts] [w]

W = work [Joules] [J]

t = time [seconds] [s]

Steam flows steadily through an adiabatic turbine. The inlet conditions of the steam are 4 MPa, 500◦C, and 80 m/s, and the exit
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

a) ΔEC=-23.4kW

b)W=12106.2kW

c)A=0.01297m^2

Explanation:

A)

The kinetic energy is defined as:

\frac{m*vel^2}{2} (vel is the velocity, to differentiate with v, specific volume).

The kinetic energy change will be: Δ (\frac{mvel^2}{2})=\frac{m*vel_2^2}{2}-\frac{m*vel_1^2}{2}

Δ (\frac{mvel^2}{2})=\frac{m}{2}*(vel_2^2-vel_1^2)

Where 1 and 2 subscripts mean initial and final state respectively.

Δ(\frac{mvel^2}{2})=\frac{12\frac{kg}{s}}{2}*(50^2-80^2)\frac{m^2}{s^2}=-23400W=-23.4kW

This amount is negative because the steam is losing that energy.

B)

Consider the energy balance, with a neglective height difference: The energy that enters to the turbine (which is in the steam) is the same that goes out (which is in the steam and in the work done).

H_1+\frac{m*vel_1^2}{2}=H_2+\frac{m*vel_2^2}{2}+W\\W=m*(h_1-h_2)+\frac{m}{2} *(vel_1^2-vel_2^2)

We already know the last quantity: \frac{m}{2} *(vel_1^2-vel_2^2)=-Δ (\frac{mvel^2}{2})=23400W

For the steam enthalpies, review the steam tables (I attach the ones that I used); according to that, h_1=h(T=500C,P=4MPa)=3445.3\frac{kJ}{kg}

The exit state is a liquid-vapor mixture, so its enthalpy is:

h_2=h_f+xh_{fg}=289.23+0.92*2366.1=2483.4\frac{kJ}{kg}

Finally, the work can be obtained:

W=12\frac{kg}{s}*(3445.3-2438.4)\frac{kJ}{kg} +23.400kW)=12106.2kW

C) For the area, consider the equation of mass flow:

m=p*vel*A where p is the density, and A the area. The density is the inverse of the specific volume, so m=\frac{vel*A}{v}

The specific volume of the inlet steam can be read also from the steam tables, and its value is: 0.08643\frac{m^3}{kg}, so:

A=\frac{m*v}{vel}=\frac{12\frac{kg}{s}*0.08643\frac{m^3}{kg}}{80\frac{m}{s}}=0.01297m^2

Which statements are true concerning Newton's law of gravitation? The gravitational force is related to the mass of each object.
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

The gravitational force is related to the mass of each object.

The gravitational force is an attractive force.

Explanation:

Gravitational force is a long range force of attraction between any two masses.

Mathematically given as :

F=G.\frac{m_1.m_2}{r^2}

where:

m_1 & m_2 are the masses

r= distance between the center of mass of the two objects.

G= gravitational constant = 6.67\times 10^{-11} m^3.kg^{-1}.s^{-2}

From the above relation of eq. (1) it is clear that,

Gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance and directly proportional to the masses.

The mass of an object is independent of its size due to the fact that density may vary for different objects.

The force of gravity varies with height as:

\frac{g}{g_x} =(\frac{r_x}{r} )^2

where:

g=9.8\,m.s^{-2}

g_x= gravity at height r_x of the center of mass of the object from the center of mass of the earth.

and we know that force:

F=m\times g

where: m= mass of the object.
