Which produces more gravitational force on your textbook: you or the earth?

1 answer:

5 0

The earth obviously because it is on Earth like we are and it has the same gravital properties. It falls when you drop it and rises when you pick it up

A 0.25 kg ball is suspended from a light 0.65 m string as shown. The string makes an angle of 31° with the vertical. Let U = 0 w

steposvetlana [31]

Explanation:

a) The height of the ball h with respect to the reference line is

$h = L - L\cos{31°} = L(1 - \cos{31°})$

so its initial gravitational potential energy $U_0$ is

$U = mgh = mgL(1 - \cos{31°})$

$\:\:\:\:\:=(0.25\:\text{kg})(9.8\:\text{m/s}^2)(0.65\:\text{m})(1 - \cos{31})$

$\:\:\:\:\:=0.23\:\text{J}$

b) To find the speed of the ball at the reference point, let's use the conservation law of energy:

$\Delta{K} + \Delta{U} = 0 \Rightarrow K_0 + U_0 = K + U$

We know that the initial kinetic energy $K_0,$ as well as its final gravitational potential energy $U$ are zero so we can write the conservation law as

$mgL(1 - \cos{31°}) = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

Note that the mass gets cancelled out and then we solve for the velocity v as

$v = \sqrt{2gL(1 - \cos{31°})}$

$\:\:\:\:\:= \sqrt{2(9.8\:\text{m/s}^2)(0.65\:\text{m})(1 - \cos{31°})}$

$\:\:\:\:\:= 1.3\:\text{m/s}$

5. A person fishing from a pier observes that four wave crests pass by in 7.0 s and estimates that the distance between two succ

TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

v= 1.71 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

Distance between two successive crests = 4.0 m

λ = 4 m

T= 7 sec

T is the time between 3 waves.

3 waves = 7 sec

1 wave = 7 /3 sec

So t= 7/3 s

We know that frequency f

f= 1/t= 3/7 Hz

Lets take speed of the wave is v

v= f λ

f=frequency

λ=wavelength

v= 3/7 x 4 = 12 /7

v= 1.71 m/s

Consider two sizes of disk, both of mass M. One size of disk has radius R; the other has radius 4R. System A consists of two of

Harman [31]

Answer:

4 smaller disks

Explanation:

We are given;

Mass of smaller and larger disks = M

Radius of smaller disk = R

Radius of larger disk = 4R

Formula for moment of inertia about cylinder axis is:

I = ½MR²

Thus;

For small disk, I_small = ½MR²

For large disk, I_large = ½M(2R)² = 2MR²

We are told that moment of inertia of System A consists of two of the larger disks. Thus;

I_A = 2 × I_large = 2 × 2MR²

I_A = 4MR²

We are also told that System B consists of one of the larger disks and a number of the smaller disks. Thus;

I_B = I_large + n(I_small)

Where n is the number of smaller disks.

I_B = 2MR² + n(½MR²)

I_B = MR²(2 + n/2)

We are told that the moment of inertia for system A equals the moment of inertia for system B. Thus;

I_A = I_B

So;

4MR² = MR²(2 + n/2)

MR² will cancel out to give;

4 = 2 + n/2

Multiply through by 2 to give;

8 = 4 + n

n = 8 - 4

n = 4
