Using our understanding of the law of gravity. What happens to the gravity as we triple the distance between two objects?

Physics

3 0

Answer:

1/9

Explanation:

<em>Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation </em>

Objects with mass feel an attractive force that is proportional to their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance.

F = GMm/r²

where  

F - the gravitatioal force in Newtons,  

M   and m  -two masses in kilograms  

r  - the separation in meters.  

G  - the gravitational constant (6.674*10 ⁻¹¹ N (m/kg) ² )

Because of the magnitude of  G , gravitational force is very small unless large masses are involved.

So according to above equation , when the masses are not changing , force is inversely propotional to the square of distance

F1 ∝ 1/r² ---------------(1)

F2 ∝ 1(3r)²

F2 ∝ 1/9r²--------------(2)

(2)/(1)

\frac{F_2}{F_1} =\frac{1}{9}\\ F_2 =\frac{F_1}{9}

From their you get as the distance tripled, Force reduce by a factor of 9(3³)

for example , assume the distance get doubled ,Force reduce by a factor of 4 (2²)

Suppose that a block of mass 2 kg is pulled to the right with a force of 10 N, and the friction force on the block is directed t
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

The block has an acceleration of 3 m/s^{2}

Explanation:

By means of Newton's second law it can be determine the acceleration of the block.

\sum F_{r} = ma   (1)

Where \sum F_{r} represents the net force, m is the mass and a is the acceleration.

F_{x} + F{y} = ma  (2)

The forces present in x are F = 10 N and f = 4 N (the friction force):

F_{x} = 10 N - 4 N

Notice that f subtracts to F since it is at the opposite direction.

F_{x} = 6 N

The forces present in y balance each other:

F_{y} = 0

Therefore:

6 + 0 = ma  

6 N = (2kg)a  (3)

But 1 N = 1 Kg.m/s^{2} and writing (3) in terms of a it is get:

a = \frac{6 Kg.m/s^{2}}{2 Kg}  

a = 3 m/s^{2}

So the block has an acceleration of a = 3 m/s^{2}.
