The gravitational constant G was first measured accurately by Henry Cavendish in 1798. He used an exquisitely sensitive balance

to measure the force between two lead spheres whose centers were 0.29 m apart. One of the spheres had a mass of 148 kg, while the mass of the other sphere was 0.63 kg.What was the ratio of the gravitational force between these spheres to the weight of the lighter sphere?

Answer:

1.198*10^{-8}

Explanation:

The law of gravitation has to be used in this question along with Newton's second law

Ratio = \frac{Gravitational force}{weight of the smaller sphere}= \frac{\frac{6.674*10^{-11*148*0.63} }{0.29^{2} } }{0.63 kg * 9.8} = 1.198*10^{-8}

Magnitude F have a
lakkis [162]

Answer:

120°

Explanation:

Given forces with magnitude F and F

Applying the parallelogram law of vector

Where resultant is given as :

R = √(A^2 + B^2 + 2ABCos Ф

WHERE A and B are two forces with angle Ф

F =√(F^2 + F^2 + 2F * F Cos Ф

Square both sides

F^2 = F^2 + F^2 + 2F^2 CosФ

F^2 - 2F^2 = 2F^2 CosФ

- F^2 = 2F^2 Cos Ф

Divide both sides by 2F^2

- 1 / 2 = CosФ

Cosine(theta) = - 1/2

Ф = cosi^-1 (-1/2)

Ф = 120°

Which term describes speed in a certain direction?
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

A. Velocity

Explanation:

Velocity is vector quantity thus has both magnitude and direction. It describes not only the speed but also the direction. Speed is scalar quantity so describes only speed but not direction. Energy has nothing to do with speed, acceleration describes change in velocity in a direction over time

A motorcycle has a mass of 250kg. It goes around a 13.7 m radius turn at 96.5 km/hr. What is the centripetal force?
topjm [15]

Answer: c) 1.31 × 10⁴N

Explanation:

Centripetal force is a force that causes a body to move in a circular path. The body possesses a centripetal acceleration.

According to newtons first law

Force = mass (m) ×acceleration (a)

Acceleration of a body moving in a circular path = v²/r where;

v is the velocity and r is the radius

Force = MV²/r

Given m = 250kg v = 96.5km/hr r = 13.7m

We need to convert 96.5km/hr to m/s

= 96.5km ×1000/1hr × 3600

= 96,500/3,600

v = 26.8m/s

Force = 250 × 26.8²/13.7

Force = 13,106.5N

The centripetal force = 13,106.5N

= 1.31 × 10⁴N

What are the principals behind Newtons first and third law?​
koban [17]

Answer:

First law: An object either remains at rest or continues to move at a constant velocity, unless acted upon by an external force. (i.e. Objects in motion tend to stay in motion. Objects at rest tend to stay at rest.)

Third law: When one body exerts a force on a second body, the second body simultaneously exerts a force equal in magnitude and opposite in direction on the first body.
