Answer:

one third

Explanation:

F = 2000 N

Initially, masses are m1 and m2 and the distance between the two masses be r.

Now, the masses are changed.

m1' = m1 / 3, m2' = m2 / 3

Let the new distance between the two masses is r'.

F = G m1 x m2 / r^2 ..... (1)

F = G m1' x m2' / r'^2

F = G (m1/3) (m2/3) / r'^2

Substitute the value of F from equation (1)

G m1 x m2 / r^2 = G m1 x m2 / 9 r'^2

By solving we get

r' = r /3

Thus, the distance between them is also one third.

A tennis racket hits a tennis ball with a force of F=at−bt2, where a = 1290 N/ms , b = 330 N/ms2 , and t is the time (in millise

denpristay [2]

Answer:

The resulting velocity of the ball after it hits the racket was of V= 51.6 m/s

Explanation:

m= 55.6 g = 0.0556 kg

t= 2.8 ms = 2.8 * 10⁻³ s

F= 1290 N/ms * t - 330 N/ms² * t²

F= 1024.8 N

F*t= m * V

V= F*t/m

V= 51.6 m/s

Two flywheels of negligible mass and different radii are bonded together and rotate about a common axis (see below). The smaller

jekas [21]

Answer:

$F_2 = 29.54 N$

Explanation:

As we know that the combination is maintained at rest position

So we will take net torque on the system to be ZERO

so we know that

$\tau = \vec r \times \vec F$

here we will have

$\vec r_1 \times F_1 = \vec r_2 \times F_2$

so we have

$13 \times 50 = 22 \times F_2$

so we have

$F_2 = \frac{13 \times 50}{22}$

$F_2 = 29.54 N$
