Well the basic equation for velocity is v=d/t where d is distance and t is time. So v=2m/50s and the answer is v=0.04meter/second.

Two particles, each of mass m, are initially at rest very far apart.Obtain an expression for their relative speed of approach at

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

$|\Delta v |=\sqrt{\frac{4Gm}{d} }$

Explanation:

Consider two particles are initially at rest.

Therefore,

the kinetic energy of the particles is zero.

That initial K.E. = 0

The relative velocity with which both the particles are approaching each other is Δv and their reduced masses are

$\mu= \frac{m_1m_2}{m_1+m_2}$

now, since both the masses have mass m

therefore,

$\mu= \frac{m^2}{2m}$

= m/2

The final K.E. of the particles is

$KE_{final}=\frac{1}{2}\times \mu\times \Delta v^2$

Distance between two particles is d and the gravitational potential energy between them is given by

$PE_{Gravitational}= \frac{Gmm}{d}$

By law of conservation of energy we have

$KE_{initial}+KE_{final}= PE_{gravitaional}$

Now plugging the values we get

$0+\frac{1}{2}\frac{m}{2}\Delta v^2= -\frac{Gmm}{d}$

$|\Delta v |=\sqrt{\frac{4Gm}{d} }$

$=\sqrt{\frac{Gm}{d} }$

This the required relation between G,m and d
