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
6 0

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

yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

0.75%

Explanation:

Measured value of melting point of potassium thiocyanate = 174.5 °C

Actual value of melting point of potassium thiocyanate = 173.2 °C

<em>Error in the reading = |Experimental value - Theoretical value|</em>

<em>= |174.5 - 173.2|</em>

<em>= |1.3|</em>

<em>Percentage error = (Error / Theoretical value) × 100</em>

<em>= (1.3 / 173.2)×100</em>

<em>= 0.75 %</em>

∴ Percentage error in the reading is 0.75%

What is the velocity of an object that has been in free fall for 1.5s?
Crank

Answer:

D. 15 m/s downward

Explanation:

v = at + v₀

v = (-9.8 m/s²) (1.5 s) + (0 m/s)

v = -14.7 m/s

Rounded to two significant figures, the answer is D, 15 m/s downward.

If the coefficient of friction is 0.3900 and the cylinder has a radius of 2.700 m, what is the minimum angular speed of the cyli
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

w=3.05 rad/s or 29.88rpm

Explanation:

k = coefficient of friction = 0.3900

R = radius of the cylinder = 2.7m

V = linear speed of rotation of the cylinder

w = angular speed = V/R or to rewrite V = w*R

N = normal force to cylinder

N==\frac{m(V)^{2}}{R}=m*(w)^2*R

Friction force\\Ff = k*N\\Ff= k*m*w^2*R

Gravitational force \\Fg = m*g

These must be balanced (the net force on the people will be 0) so set them equal to each other.

Fg = Ff

m*g = k*m*w^2*R

g=k*w^{2}*R

w^2 =\frac{g}{k*R}

w=\sqrt{\frac{g}{k*R}} \\w =\sqrt{\frac{9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}}{0.3900*2.7m}}\\ w=\sqrt{9.306}=3.05 \frac{rad}{s}

There are 2*pi radians in 1 revolution so:

RPM=\frac{w}{2\pi }*60\\RPM=\frac{3.05\frac{rad}{s}}{2\pi}*60\\RPM= 0.498*60\\RPM=29.88

So you need about 30 RPM to keep people from falling out the bottom
