Answer: The correct answer is option(B.).

Explanation:

The co-formation theory explain that both moon and the earth are formed at same time from the primitive solar nebula (cloud made up of dust and gases) at the same and same place.

Where as capture theory suggests that the moon is an asteroid which was formed or created somewhere else in a solar system. And when the moon approached the earth planet it got captured by the earth's gravitational field.

Impact theory explains the formation of moon by the catastrophic collision between the earth and any planet half the size of earth's size.

Synchronous theory sheds the light on the rotation time, revolution time and sides of moon located from the surface of the earth.

Hence, the correct answer is option(B).

(a) Calculate the magnitude of the gravitational force exerted by Mars on a 80 kg human standing on the surface of Mars. (The ma

andrew11 [14]

Answer:

a) $F=1.044\times 10^9\ N$

b) $F'=1.044\times 10^9\ N$

c) $F_p=1.0672\times10^{-7}\ N$

d) Treat the humans as though they were points or uniform-density spheres.

Explanation:

Given:

mass of Mars, $M=6.4\times 10^{23}\ kg$

radius of the Mars, $r=3.4\times 10^{6}\ m$

mass of human, $m=80\ kg$

Gravitation force exerted by the Mars on the human body:

$F=G.\frac{M.m}{r^2}$

where:

$G=6.67 \times 10^{-11}\ m^3.kg^{-1}.s^{-2}$ = gravitational constant

$F=6.67\times10^{-11}\times \frac{6.4\times 10^{23}\times 80}{(3.4\times 10^{6})^2}$

$F=1.044\times 10^9\ N$

The magnitude of the gravitational force exerted by the human on Mars is equal to the force by the Mars on human.

$F'=F$

$F'=1.044\times 10^9\ N$

When a similar person of the same mass is standing at a distance of 4 meters:

$F_p=6.67\times10^{-11}\times \frac{80\times 80}{4}$

$F_p=1.0672\times10^{-7}\ N$

The gravitational constant is a universal value and it remains constant in the Universe and does not depends on the size of the mass.

Yes, we have to treat Mars as spherically symmetric so that its center of mass is at its geometric center.

Yes, we also have to ignore the effect of sun, but as asked in the question we have to calculate the gravitational force only due to one body on another specific body which does not brings sun into picture of the consideration.

A cylinder of diameter 100 mm rolls from restdown a 5 m long ramp and its center of mass is moving with velocity 2 m/s at the bo

RoseWind [281]

Answer:

(a): a = 0.4m/s²

(b): α = 8 radians/s²

Explanation:

First we propose an equation to determine the linear acceleration and an equation to determine the space traveled in the ramp (5m):

a= (Vf-Vi)/t = (2m/s)/t

a: linear acceleration.

Vf: speed at the end of the ramp.

Vi: speed at the beginning of the ramp (zero).

d= (1/2)×a×t² = 5m

d: distance of the ramp (5m).

We replace the first equation in the second to determine the travel time on the ramp:

d = 5m = (1/2)×( (2m/s)/t)×t² = (1m/s)×t ⇒ t = 5s

And the linear acceleration will be:

a = (2m/s)/5s = 0.4m/s²

Now we determine the perimeter of the cylinder to know the linear distance traveled on the ramp in a revolution:

perimeter = π×diameter = π×0.1m = 0.3142m

To determine the angular acceleration we divide the linear acceleration by the radius of the cylinder:

α = (0.4m/s²)/(0.05m) = 8 radians/s²

α: angular aceleration.
