The acceleration due to gravity inside earth is r G Me / Re³

\texttt{ }

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Newton's gravitational law states that the force of attraction between two objects can be formulated as follows :

\large {\boxed {F = G \frac{m_1 ~ m_2}{R^2}} }

<em>F = Gravitational Force ( Newton )</em>

<em>G = Gravitational Constant ( 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ Nm² / kg² )</em>

<em>m = Object's Mass ( kg )</em>

<em>R = Distance Between Objects ( m )</em>

Let us now tackle the problem !

\texttt{ }

<u>Given:</u>

radius of Earth = Re

distance of object from centre of the Earth = r

mass of object = m

mass of the Earth = Me

<u>Asked:</u>

acceleration due to gravity inside Earth = g = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

g = G \frac{M}{r^2}

g = G \frac{ \frac{r^3}{(R_E)^3} M_E}{r^2}

g = G \frac{ r M_E}{(R_E)^3}

\boxed{g = r G \frac{ M_E}{(R_E)^3}}

\texttt{ }

<h3>Conclusion :</h3>

The acceleration due to gravity inside earth is r G Me / Re³

An estimated value for gravity at a distance r from the middle of the Earth can be gotten by supposing that the Earth's density is spherically symmetric. The gravity hinge on only on the mass inside the sphere of radius r. All the assistances from outside cancel out as a fall out of the inverse-square law of gravitation. Another result is that the gravity is the same as if all the mass were concentrated at the midpoint. Therefore, the gravitational acceleration at this radius is 
g(r) = GM(r) / r² 
M(r) = mass enclosed by radius r. 
If the Earth had a continual density ρ, the mass would be M(r) = (4/3)πρr³ and the dependence of gravity on distance would be 
g(r) = (4/3)πGρr 
G = 6.674e-11 m³/kgs²

A builder drops a brick from a height of 15 m above the ground. The gravitational field strength g is 10 N/ kg. What is the spee
Basile [38]

The speed of the brick dropped by the builder as it hits the ground is 17.32m/s.

Given the data in the question;

Since the brick was initially at rest before it was dropped,

  • Initial Velocity; u = 0
  • Height from which it has dropped; h = 15m
  • Gravitational field strength; g = 10N/kg = 10 \frac{kg.m/s^2}{kg} = 10m/s^2

Final speed of brick as it hits the ground; v =  \ ?

<h3>Velocity</h3>

velocity is simply the same as the speed at which a particle or object moves. It is the rate of change of position of an object or particle with respect to time. As expressed in the Third Equation of Motion:

v^2 = u^2 + 2gh

Where v is final velocity, u is initial velocity, h is its height or distance from ground and g is gravitational field strength.

To determine the speed of the brick as it hits the ground, we substitute our giving values into the expression above.

v^2 = u^2 + 2gh\\\\v^2 = 0 + ( 2\ *\ 10m/s^2\ *\ 15m)\\\\v^2 = 300m^2/s^2\\\\v = \sqrt{300m^2/s^2}\\ \\v = 17.32m/s

Therefore, the speed of the brick dropped by the builder as it hits the ground is 17.32m/s.

3. A car has a mass of 2.50 x 10^3 kg. If the force acting on the car is 7.65 x 10^3 N to the
const2013 [10]

Answer:

3.06m/s² to the east

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of car = 2.5 x 10³kg

Force acting on the car  = 7.65 x 10³N

Unknown:

Acceleration of the car  = ?

Solution:

From Newton's second law of motion:

      Force  = mass x acceleration

   Acceleration  = \frac{Force }{mass}   = \frac{7.65 x 10^{3} }{2.5 x 10^{3} }    = 3.06m/s² to the east
