Answer:

force is decreased by a factor of 4.

Explanation:

According to the Newton's law of gravitation, the force of gravitation between the two object is inversely proportional to the square of distance between them. Now the distance is doubled, so the force between the two objects becomes one forth.

Force is decreased by a factor or 4.

If you went to a planet that had the twice the radius as Earth, but the same mass, a 1 kg pineapple would have a weight of
kicyunya [14]

Use the law of universal gravitation, which says the force of gravitation between two bodies of mass <em>m</em>₁ and <em>m</em>₂ a distance <em>r</em> apart is

<em>F</em> = <em>G m</em>₁ <em>m</em>₂ / <em>r</em>²

where <em>G</em> = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N m²/kg².

The Earth has a radius of about 6371 km = 6.371 x 10⁶ m (large enough for a pineapple on the surface of the earth to have an effective distance from the center of the Earth to be equal to this radius), and a mass of about 5.97 x 10²⁴ kg, so the force of gravitation between the pineapple and the Earth is

<em>F</em> = (6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N m²/kg²) (1 kg) (5.97 x 10²⁴ kg) / (6.371 x 10⁶ m)²

<em>F</em> ≈ 9.81 N

Notice that this is roughly equal to the weight of the pineapple on Earth, (1 kg)<em>g</em>, where <em>g</em> = 9.80 m/s² is the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity, so that [force of gravity] = [weight] on any given planet.

This means that on this new planet with twice the radius of Earth, the pineapple would have a weight of

<em>F</em> = <em>G m</em>₁ <em>m</em>₂ / (2<em>r</em>)² = 1/4 <em>G m</em>₁ <em>m</em>₂ / <em>r</em>²

i.e. 1/4 of the weight on Earth, which would be about 2.45 N.

It takes a minimum distance of 57.46 m to stop a car moving at 13.0 m/s by applying the brakes (without locking the wheels). Ass
vivado [14]

Answer:

The minimum stopping distance when the car is moving at

29.0 m/sec = 285.94 m

Explanation:

We know by equation of motion that,

v^{2}=u^{2}+2\cdot a \cdot s

Where, v= final velocity m/sec

u=initial velocity m/sec

a=Acceleration m/Sec^{2}

s= Distance traveled before stop m

Case 1

u=  13 m/sec, v=0, s= 57.46 m, a=?

0^{2} = 13^{2}  + 2 \cdot a \cdot57.46

a = -1.47 m/Sec^{2} (a is negative since final velocity is less then initial velocity)

Case 2

u=29 m/sec, v=0, s= ?, a=-1.47 m/Sec^{2} (since same friction force is applied)

v^{2} = 29^{2}  - 2 \cdot 1.47 \cdot S

s = 285.94 m

Hence the minimum stopping distance when the car is moving at

29.0 m/sec = 285.94 m

A 103 kg horizontal platform is a uniform disk of radius 1.71 m and can rotate about the vertical axis through its center. A 68.
Andreyy89

Answer:

I_{total}=220.64 kg*m^{2}

Explanation:

The moment of inertia of the system is equal to the each population and the platform inertia so

Inertia disk

I_{disk}=\frac{1}{2}*m_{disk}*(r_{p})^{2}

Inertia person

I_{p}=\frac{1}{2}*m_{p}*(r_{p})^{2}

Inertia dog

I_{d}=\frac{1}{2}*m_{d}*(r_{d})^{2}

The Inertia of the system is the sum of each mass taking into account that all exert the force of inertia:

I_{total}=I_{disk}+I_{p}+I_{d}

I_{total}=\frac{1}{2}*103kg*(1.71)^{2}+\frac{1}{2}*68.9kg*(1.09)^{2}+\frac{1}{2}*27.7kg*(1.45)^{2}

I_{total}=220.64 kg*m^{2}
