Answer:

The circumference of the Earth is 24818.58 miles

Explanation:

Analysis conceptual : The formula of the circumference is the following:

L= π*D Formula (1)

Where:

L : is the length of the circumference in miles (mi)

π : is the constant

D : is the diameter of the circumference in miles (mi)

Known data

π = 3.1416

D= 7900 miles: Diameter of the Earth

Problem development

We apply the formula 1 to calculate the circumference of the Earth (L):

L= π*7900 miles

L= 24818.58 miles

A 225-kg object and a 525-kg object are separated by 3.80 m. (a) Find the magnitude of the net gravitational force exerted by th

pav-90 [236]

Answer: $F_{net}=3.383\times 10^{-7}\ N$

Explanation:

Given

Mass of first object $m_1=225\ kg$

Mass of second object $m_2=525\ kg$

Distance between them $d=3.8\ m$

$m_3=61\ kg$ object is placed between them

So force exerted by $m_1$ on $m_3$

$F_{13}=\frac{Gm_1m_3}{1.9^2}$

$F_{13}=\frac{6.674\times 10^{-11}(225\times 61)}{1.9^2}$

$F_{13}=2.5374141274×10^{−7}\ N$

Force exerted by $m_2\ on\ m_3$

$F_{23}=\frac{Gm_2m_3}{1.9^2}$

$F_{23}=\frac{6.674\times 10^{-11}(525\times 61)}{1.9^2}$

$F_{23}=5.920632964\times 10^{-7}\ N$

So net force on $m_3$ is

$F_{net}=F_{23}-F_{13}$

$F_{net}=5.920632964\times 10^{-7}-2.5374141274\times 10^{-7}$

$F_{net}=3.383\times 10^{-7}\ N$

i.e. net force is towards $m_2$

(b)For net force to be zero on $m_3$ , suppose

So force exerted by $m_1$ and $m_2$ must be equal

$F_{13}=F_{23}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{Gm_1m_3}{x^2}=\frac{Gm_2m_3}{(3.8-x)^2}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{m_1}{x^2}=\frac{m_2}{(3.8-x)^2}$

$\Rightarrow (\frac{3.8-x}{x})^2=\frac{m_2}{m_1}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{3.8-x}{x}=\sqrt{\frac{525}{225}}$

$\Rightarrow 3.8-x=1.52752x$

$\Rightarrow 3.8=2.52x$

$\Rightarrow x=1.507\ m$
