What will keep the gravitational force between two objects unchanged?

Physics

Luden [163]4 years ago

The gravitational force between two objects is determined by

-- the product of their masses, and

-- the distance between their centers.

If you want to keep the gravitational force between two objects unchanged, then you can make changes to the mass of one object, the mass of the other object, and the distance between them, BUT you have to be very careful to always keep the quantity

(one mass) x (the other mass) / (the distance)²

the same, unchanged number.  This means that if you change one thing, you'll have to change something else to keep that expression constant.

For example:  If one of the masses suddenly somehow becomes 4 times as great, then you can EITHER change the other mass to 1/4 of its original mass, OR move the two objects twice as far apart.

A meteoroid is moving towards a planet. It has mass m= 0.18x10⁹ kg and speed v1 = 5.9x10⁷ m/s at distance R1 = 2.9x10⁷ m from th
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

5.90000114e+7 m/s

Explanation:

Given values

M₁ = 1.8e+8 kg

M₂ = 2.4e+25 kg

M = M₁ + M₂ = 2.400000000000000018e+25 kg

G = 6.6743e-11 m³ kg⁻¹ sec⁻²

GM = 1.60183200000000001201374e+15 m³ sec⁻²

r₁ = 2.9e+7 m

v₁ = 5.9e+7 m/s

R = 2.2e+6 m

The total energy of the meteroid per unit mass at time t₁ is

E/M₁ = 0.5v₁² − GM/r₁ = 1.7404999447644137931034478615952e+15 m²/s²

At impact,

E/M₁ = 0.5v₂² − GM/R = 1.7404999447644137931034478615952e+15 m²/s²

v₂ = √[2(E/M₁ + GM/R)] = 5.9000011404572937396882314817886e+7 m/s

v₂ − v₁ ≈ 11.4 m/s

An object is dropped at a height of 12 m from the ground. How fast is it moving just before it hits the ground?
sp2606 [1]

The final speed of the object is 15.3 m/s

Explanation:

The object in the problem is moving by uniformly accelerated motion (it is in free fall), so we can use the following suvat equation:

v^2-u^2=2as

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a=g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity (taking downward as positive direction)

s is the vertical displacement

For the object in this problem:

u = 0 (it starts from rest)

s = 12 m is the displacement of the object

Solving for v,

v=\sqrt{u^2+2as}=\sqrt{0+2(9.8)(12)}=15.3 m/s

Why can voyager 1 maintain its speed?
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

based on my opinion

The smart guys at NASA designed the trajectory such that as they passed Jupiter, they gained some speed by being dragged along by Jupiter

This is called a gravity assist . Voyager 2 picked up about 18 km / s of velocity from that Jupiter gravity assist ...

Answer:

(C) an increase in tue distance between the ibject causes a greater change in the gravitational force than the same increase in mass
