Suppose the sun were to suddenly shrink in size but its mass remained the same. according to the law of conservation of angular

momentum, what would happen?

Since the angular momentum is conserved, and the moment of inertia has decreased, so the angular velocity of the sun will rapidly increase and the sun will spin faster

Suppose you place a ball in the middle of a wagon, and then accelerate the wagon forward. Describe the motion of the ball relati

rjkz [21]

Answer:

The motion of the ball relative to the ground is stationary

The motion of the ball relative to the wagon is backwards

Explanation:

To describe the motion of the ball relative to the ground, we note that

Assuming the ball is perfectly round and rotate freely, then we have

Force on the ball due to motion of the wagon = 0 N,

Then by the law of motion, an object will remain at rest when no force is applied to it

Therefore, apart from rotation of the ball, it will remain no displacement relative to the ground.

The motion of the ball relative to the wagon

Relative to the wagon, the ball appears to be moving in the opposite direction to the wagon, that is backwards.

Calculate the force of gravity between planet X and planet y if both planets are 3.75 X 10^11 m apart, planet X has a mass of 1.

GenaCL600 [577]

So, the force of gravity that the asteroid and the planet have on each other approximately $\boxed{\sf{2.9 \times 10^{17} \: N}}$

<h3>Introduction</h3>

Hi ! Now, I will help to discuss about the gravitational force between two objects. The force of gravity is not affected by the radius of an object, but radius between two object. Moreover, if the object is a planet, the radius of the planet is only to calculate the "gravitational acceleration" on the planet itself,does not determine the gravitational force between the two planets. For the gravitational force between two objects, it can be calculated using the following formula :

$\boxed{\sf{\bold{F = G \times \frac{m_1 \times m_2}{r^2}}}}$

With the following condition :

F = gravitational force (N)
G = gravity constant ≈ $\sf{6.67 \times 10^{-11}}$ N.m²/kg²
$\sf{m_1}$ = mass of the first object (kg)
$\sf{m_2}$ = mass of the second object (kg)
r = distance between two objects (m)

<h3>Problem Solving</h3>

We know that :

G = gravity constant ≈ $\sf{6.67 \times 10^{-11}}$ N.m²/kg²
$\sf{m_X}$ = mass of the planet X = $\sf{1.55 \times 10^{22}}$ kg.
$\sf{m_Y}$ = mass of the planet Y = $\sf{3.95 \times 10^{28}}$ kg.
r = distance between two objects = $\sf{3.75 \times 10^{11}}$ m.

What was asked :

F = gravitational force = ... N

Step by step :

$\sf{F = G \times \frac{m_X \times m_Y}{r^2}}$

$\sf{F = 6.67 \cdot 10^{-11} \times \frac{1.55 \cdot 10^{22} \cdot 3.95 \times 10^{28}}{(3.75 \times 10^{11})^2}}$

$\sf{F \approx \frac{40.84 \times 10^{-11 + 22 + 28}}{14.0625 \times 10^{22}}}$

$\sf{F \approx 2.9 \times 10^{39 - 22}}$

$\sf{F \approx 2.9 \times 10^{17} \: N}$

<h3>Conclusion</h3>

So, the force of gravity that the asteroid and the planet have on each other approximately

$\boxed{\sf{2.9 \times 10^{17} \: N}}$

Trucks 1 and 2 are traveling at the same constant velocity but truck 1's energy due to motion is two times less than that of tru

brilliants [131]

Kinetic energy = 0.5 * m * v²

m mass
v velocity

If the velocity stays the same and the kinetic energy goes down by a factor of 2, the mass must go down by a factor of 2 also.

You do 120 j of work while pulling your sister back on a swing, whose chain is 5.10 m long. you start with the swing hanging ver

Goryan [66]

The work done to pull the sister back on the swing is equal to the increase in potential energy of the sister:
$W= \Delta U = mg \Delta h$ (1)

where m is the sister's mass, g is the gravitational acceleration and $\Delta h$ is the increase in altitude of the sister with respect to its initial position.

By calling $\theta$ the angle of the chain with respect to the vertical, the increase in altitude is given by
$\Delta h = L - L \cos \theta = L(1 - \cos \theta)$ (2)
where L is the length of the chain.

Putting (2) inside (1), we find
$W= m g L (1 - \cos \theta)$
from which we can find the mass of the sister:
$m = \frac{W}{g L (1 - \cos \theta)} = \frac{120 J}{(9.81 m/s^2)(5.10 m)(1- \cos 32.0^{\circ})} =15.8 kg$
