What will keep the gravitational force between two objects unchanged?

Physics
1 answer:
Luden [163]3 years ago
6 0

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.

The Otto-cycle engine in a Mercedes-Benz SLK230 has a compression ratio of 8.8. What is the ideal efficiency of the engine? Use
vodomira [7]

Answer:

e=58%

Explanation:

Given data

The Otto-cycle engine in a Mercedes-Benz SLK230 has a compression ratio of 8.8.

Solution

We want to calculate the ideal efficiency of the engine when ratio of heat capacity for gas used  γ=1.40. Ideal efficiency (e) of the Otto cycle given by:

e=1-(\frac{1}{r^{Y-1} } )\\

Substitute the given values to find efficiency e

e=1-\frac{1}{8.8^{1.4-1} } \\e=0.58\\

e=58%
