How to find a planet’s gravitational field strength using its radius?

Physics
1 answer:
grin007 [14]3 years ago
5 0

The gravitational field strength is approximately equal to 10 N.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Gravitational field strength is the measure of gravitational force acting on any object placed on the surface of the planet. Generally, the mass of the object is considered as 1 kg.

So the gravitational field strength will be equal to the gravitational force acting on the object.

The formula for gravitational field strength is

g = \frac{F}{m}

Here g is the gravitational field strength, m is the mass of the object placed on the surface and F is the gravitational force acting on the object.

Since, the mass of any object placed on the surface of earth will be negligible compared to the mass of Earth, so the mass of the object is considered as 1 kg.

Then the g = F

And F =\frac{GMm}{r^{2} }

Here G is the gravitational constant, M is the mass of Earth and m is the mass of the object placed on the surface, while r is the radius of the Earth.

g = F = \frac{6 \times 10^{24} \times 6.67 \times 10^{-11}  \times 1}{(6.6 \times 10^{6}) ^{2} }

g = 0.977 \times 10^1= 9.77\ N

So, the gravitational field strength is approximately equal to 10 N.

Energy is the ability to do work. True or false
Blababa [14]
Work can be defined as the energy transferred from a body to its sorroundings, the energy spent to move a body, or the energy you need to alter a charged particle, so no energy, no work; thus, the statement is true.

The equation T^2=A^3 shows the relationship between a planet’s orbital period, T, and the planet’s mean distance from the sun, A
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

D. 2^(3/2)

Explanation:

Given that

T² = A³

Let the mean distance between the sun and planet Y be x

Therefore,

T(Y)² = x³

T(Y) = x^(3/2)

Let the mean distance between the sun and planet X be x/2

Therefore,

T(Y)² = (x/2)³

T(Y) = (x/2)^(3/2)

The factor of increase from planet X to planet Y is:

T(Y) / T(X) = x^(3/2) / (x/2)^(3/2)

T(Y) / T(X) = (2)^(3/2)

A circular bird feeder 19.0 cm in radius has rotational inertia 0.130 kg·m2. It's suspended by a thin wire and is spinning slowl
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

N₂=20.05 rpm

Explanation:

Given that

R= 19 cm

I=0.13 kg.m²

N₁ = 24.2 rpm

\omega_1=\dfrac{2\pi \times 24.2}{60}\ rda/s

ω₁= 2.5 rad/s

m= 173 g = 0.173 kg

v=1.2 m

Initial angular momentum L₁

L₁ =  Iω₁  - m v r       ( negative sign because bird coming opposite to motion of the wire motion)

Final linear momentum L₂

L₂=  I₂ ω₂

 I₂ = I + m r²

The is no any external torque that is why angular momentum will be conserve

L₁ = L₂

Iω₁  - m v r =  I₂ ω₂

Iω₁  - m v r =  ( I + m r²) ω₂

Now by putting the all values

Iω₁  - m v r =  ( I + m r²) ω₂

0.13 x 2.5 - 0.173 x 1.2 x 0.19 =  ( 0.13 + 0.173 x  0.19²) ω₂

0.325  - 0.0394 = 0.136 ω₂

ω₂ = 2.1 rad/s

\omega_2=\dfrac{2\pi \times N_2}{60}

N₂=20.05 rpm

The musical tone a piano has a frequency of 346HZ and a wavelength of 1.3 M what is the speed of the sound
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

v= 449.8 m/s

Explanation:

Given data

Frequency=  346Hz

Wave length= 1.4m

The expression below is used to find the speed

v= f \lambda\\\\

substitute

v= 346*1.3\\\\v= 449.8 m/s

Hence the speed is v= 449.8 m/s
