Answer:

time = 8.3333 minutes.

Explanation:

distance between earth and sun = 1.5 * 10^{8}km

speed of light = 3* 10^{8}m/s

convert the distance unit from km to m so we can have uniform units.

distance between earth and sun = 1.5 *10^{8}*1000m

distance between earth and sun = 1.5 * 10^{11}m

speed = distance /time

time = distance / speed

time = \frac{1.5*10^{11} }{3*10^{8} }

= 0.5*10^{3}

time =500 sec

time = 500/60 minutes

time = 8.3333 minutes.

According to Newton’s law of universal gravitation, which statements are true?
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Before we solve this, we should know this fact:

According to Newton's Law of Gravitation, the force between two objects is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. The force acts along the line joining the centres of the two objects. It can be shown by this:

F ∝ \frac{Mm}{ {d}^{2} }

Now, let us check all the options.

A. As we move to higher altitudes, the force of gravity on us decreases.

<em>This </em><em>statement </em><em>is </em><em>true.</em>

The force of gravity is inversely proportional to the square of distance from the centre of the earth. If, we go up the surface of the earth, the distance from the centre of the earth increases and hence the value of force of gravity decrease. So, force of gravity decreases with altitude.

B. As we move to higher altitudes, the force of gravity on us increases.

<em>This </em><em>statement</em><em> </em><em>is </em><em>false.</em>

We have already got the result in option A. that the force of gravity decreases with altitude. It never increases with altitude.

C. As we gain mass, the force of gravity on us decreases.

<em>This </em><em>statement</em><em> </em><em>is </em><em>false.</em>

The force of gravity is directly proportional to the product of the masses. So, if increase our mass, then the force of gravity will also increase and if we decrease our mass, then the force of gravity decreases.

D. As we gain mass, the force of gravity on us increases.

<em>This </em><em>statement</em><em> is</em><em> </em><em>true.</em>

As mentioned earlier in option C., the force of gravity is directly proportional to the product of the masses of the earth and another object. So, as we gain mass, the force of gravity on us increases.

E. As we move faster, the force of gravity on us increases.

<em>This </em><em>statement</em><em> is</em><em> </em><em>true</em><em>.</em>

Here, we have to consider a different formula. According to Newton's Second Law,

F = ma, where F is the force, m is the mass and a is the acceleration.

In other words,

F ∝ a, i.e., force is directly proportional to acceleration.

We know, acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an body within a time period.

So, if speed is increased, then acceleration will also be greater, which results in the increase of force. So, as we move faster, the force of gravity on us increases.

<u>Answers:</u>

A: As we move to higher altitudes, the force of gravity on us decreases.

D: As we gain mass, the force of gravity on us increases.

E: As we move faster, the force of gravity on us increases.

Hope you could understand.

2.(Ramp section) Suppose the height of the ramp is h1= 0.40m, and the foot of the ramp is horizontal, and is h2= 1.5m above the
frozen [14]

Answer:

a) the distance that the solid steel sphere sliding down the ramp without friction is 1.55 m

b) the distance that a solid steel sphere rolling down the ramp without slipping is 1.31 m

c) the distance that a spherical steel shell with shell thickness 1.0 mm rolling down the ramp without slipping is 1.2 m

d) the distance that a solid aluminum sphere rolling down the ramp without slipping is 1.31 m

 

Explanation:

Given that;

height of the ramp h1 = 0.40 m

foot of the ramp above the floor h2 = 1.50 m

assuming R = 15 mm = 0.015 m

density of steel = 7.8 g/cm³

density of aluminum =  2.7 g/cm³

a) distance that the solid steel sphere sliding down the ramp without friction;

we know that

distance = speed × time

d = vt --------let this be equ 1

according to the law of conservation of energy

mgh₁ = \frac{1}{2} mv²

v² = 2gh₁  

v = √(2gh₁)

from the second equation; s = ut +  \frac{1}{2} at²

that is; t = √(2h₂/g)

so we substitute for equations into equation 1

d = √(2gh₁) × √(2h₂/g)

d = √(2gh₁) × √(2h₂/g)

d = 2√( h₁h₂ )    

we plug in our values

d = 2√( 0.40 × 1.5 )

d = 1.55 m

Therefore, the distance that the solid steel sphere sliding down the ramp without friction is 1.55 m

b)

distance that a solid steel sphere rolling down the ramp without slipping;

we know that;

mgh₁ = \frac{1}{2} mv² + \frac{1}{2} I_{}ω²

mgh₁ = \frac{1}{2} mv² + \frac{1}{2} (\frac{2}{5}mR²) ω²

v = √( \frac{10}{7}gh₁  )

so we substitute √( \frac{10}{7}gh₁  ) for v and  t = √(2h₂/g) in equation 1;

d = vt

d = √( \frac{10}{7}gh₁  ) × √(2h₂/g)  

d = 1.69√( h₁h₂ )

we substitute our values

d = 1.69√( 0.4 × 1.5 )  

d = 1.31 m

Therefore, the distance that a solid steel sphere rolling down the ramp without slipping is 1.31 m

 

c)

distance that a spherical steel shell with shell thickness 1.0 mm rolling down the ramp without slipping;

we know that;

mgh₁ = \frac{1}{2} mv² + \frac{1}{2} I_{}ω²

mgh₁ = \frac{1}{2} mv² + \frac{1}{2} (\frac{2}{3}mR²) ω²

v = √( \frac{6}{5}gh₁ )

so we substitute √( \frac{6}{5}gh₁ ) for v and t = √(2h₂/g) in equation 1 again

d = vt

d = √( \frac{6}{5}gh₁ ) × √(2h₂/g)

d = 1.549√( h₁h₂ )

d = 1.549√( 0.4 × 1.5 )

d = 1.2 m

Therefore, the distance that a spherical steel shell with shell thickness 1.0 mm rolling down the ramp without slipping is 1.2 m

d) distance that a solid aluminum sphere rolling down the ramp without slipping.

we know that;

mgh₁ = \frac{1}{2} mv² + \frac{1}{2} I_{}ω²

mgh₁ = \frac{1}{2} mv² + \frac{1}{2} (\frac{2}{5}mR²) ω²

v = √( \frac{10}{7}gh₁  )

so we substitute √( \frac{10}{7}gh₁  ) for v and  t = √(2h₂/g) in equation 1;

d = vt

d = √( \frac{10}{7}gh₁  ) × √(2h₂/g)  

d = 1.69√( h₁h₂ )

we substitute our values

d = 1.69√( 0.4 × 1.5 )  

d = 1.31 m

Therefore, the distance that a solid aluminum sphere rolling down the ramp without slipping is 1.31 m
