How much does the gravitational force of attraction change between two asteroids if the two asteroids drift three times closer t

ogether?
Physics

Katen [24]3 years ago

Answer:

Increase 9 times

Explanation:

We have Newton formula for attraction force between 2 objects with mass and a distance between them:

F_G = G\frac{M_1M_2}{R^2}

where G =6.67408 \times 10^{-11} m^3/kgs^2 is the gravitational constant. M_1, M_2 is the masses of the 2 objects. and R is the distance between them.

Since the force is inversely proportional to the distance squared, if it is reduced by 3 times, the gravitational force between them would increase by 3^2 = 9 times

If tides occur twice a day in most places. How much time is there between a morning high tide and the next high tide?
algol13

About 12 hours is the time between a morning high tide and the next high tide

Explanation:

The Earth’s rotation happens between two tidal bulges  

The “periodic rise and fall” of the surface water levels of the ocean is called tides. The gravitational action and interaction on the earth by the sun and the moon causes these tides. Different regions of the World experiences different patterns of tides like the diurnal, semi-diurnal etc.

When there is one high and one low tide occurring on a lunar day, then it is diurnal pattern. Semi-diurnal pattern occurs when there are two equal high and low tides on a single lunar day.

Since the Earth’s rotation happens between two tidal “bulges” on each lunar day, the coastal areas can experience two high and two low tides in every 24 hours plus 50 minutes.

Accordingly the time between two high tides would be 12 hours plus 25 minutes. Similarly, the time gap between a high to low tide would be 6 hours plus 12.5 minutes.

The speed of light ________ when light goes through glass.
Gala2k [10]
What happens when the light hits the glass depends on what it was in before it hit the glass.

WHILE it's in the glass, the speed of light doesn't change.

PLZ HELP I DON'T UNDERSTAND!! a boy is playing catch with his friend. He throws the ball straight up. When it leaves his hand, t
algol13

Explanation:

The mass of a ball, m = 2 kg

It is traveling with a speed of 10 m/s

The ball's kinetic energy just as it leaves the boy's hand is calculated as follows :

K=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\K=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2\times (10)^2\\\\=100\ J

The ball's kinetic energy just as it leaves the boy's hand is 100 J. The potential energy of the ball when it reaches the highest point is same as the kinetic energy as it leaves the boy's hand.

Hence, the required kinetic and potential energy is 100 J.

ASK YOUR TEACHER A 2.0-kg mass swings at the end of a light string with the length of 3.0 m. Its speed at the lowest point on it
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

  K_b = 78 J

Explanation:

For this exercise we can use the conservation of energy relations

starting point. Lowest of the trajectory

        Em₀ = K = ½ mv²

final point. When it is at tea = 50º

        Em_f = K + U

        Em_f = ½ m v_b² + m g h

where h is the height from the lowest point

        h = L - L cos 50

        Em_f = ½ m v_b² + mg L (1 - cos50)

energy be conserve

        Em₀ = Em_f

         ½ mv² = ½ m v_b² + mg L (1 - cos50)

         K_b = ½ m v_b² + mg L (1 - cos50)

let's calculate

          K_b = ½ 2.0 6.0² + 2.0 9.8 6.0 (1 - cos50)

          K_b = 36 +42.0

          K_b = 78 J

A ball is thrown straight up from a bridge at a speed of 11.0 m/s. What will be its velocity (speed and direction) after 2.0 sec
tigry1 [53]
<h2>Speed of ball after 2 seconds is 8.62 m/s downward.</h2>

Explanation:

Let upper direction be positive

We have equation of motion v = u + at

     Initial velocity, u = 11 m/s

     Final velocity, v = ?

     Time, t = 2 s

     Acceleration,a = -9.81 m/s²

     Substituting

                      v = u + at  

                      v = 11 + -9.81 x 2

                      v = -8.62 m/s

    Speed of ball after 2 seconds is 8.62 m/s downward.
