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

Physics

grin007 [14]3 years ago

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.

A. Draw four rays parallel to the optical axis of your mirror. Two above the optic axis and two below it.
Katen [24]

Answer:

   f = q

Explanation:

In the attachment we can see a diagram of the parallel rays.

The dotted line represents the normal to the mirror surface

These rays when reflected using the constructor equation

        \frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{p} + \frac{1}{q}

where p and q are the distance to the object and the image respectively.

Since the rays are parallel P = inf

          1 / f = 1 / inf + 1 / q

          f = q

this means that all the rays focus on one focal point.

A 1-oz bullet is traveling with a velocity of 1400 ft/s when it impacts and becomes embedded in a 5-lb wooden block. The block c
schepotkina [342]

   After impact velocity = 14.968 ft/s

Weight and mass of Bullet and wooden block:

Bullet: w = 1oz = 1/16 lb m = 0.001941 lb

wooden block : W = 5lb M = 0.15528 lb

velocity of block and bullet immediately after impact:

Σmv1 + ΣImp = mv2

Resolving vertical component

( m× v₀cos30⁰) + 0 = ( m+M) v'

v' = ( m× v₀cos30⁰)/ (m+M)

v' = 14.968 ft/s

Horizontal and vertical component of the impulse exerted by block on the bullet:

   Here we will apply the principle of impulse and momentum.

 Horizontal component:

          -mv₀ cos30⁰ + RxΔt  =0

                                 RxΔt = mv₀sin30⁰

                                          = 0.001941 × 1400sin30⁰

                                   RxΔt = 1.3587 lb.s

         Vertical component:

                           -mv₀cos30⁰  + RyΔt =  -mv'

                                     RyΔt = m( v₀cos30⁰-v')

                                     RyΔt = 0.001941(1400cos30⁰ - 14.968)

                                              = 2.32 lb.s
