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

ogether?
Physics
1 answer:
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

An 8.00 kg mass moving east at 15.4 m/s on a frictionless horizontal surface collides with a 10.0 kg object that is initially at
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

9.3m/s

Explanation:

Based on the law of conservation of momentum

Sum of momentum before collision = sum of momentum after collision

m1u1 +m2u2 = m1v1+m2v2

m1 = 8kg

u1 = 15.4m/s

m2 = 10kg

u2 = 0m/s(at rest)

v1 = 3.9m/s

Required

v2.

Substitute

8(15.4)+10(0) = 8(3.9)+10v2

123.2=31.2+10v2

123.2-31.2 = 10v2

92 = 10v2

v2 = 92/10

v2 = 9.2m/s

Hence the velocity of the 10.0 kg object after the collision is 9.2m/s

How can you verify the archimedes principle?​
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

It is found that W1 - W2 loss in weight of solid when immersed in water is equal to the weight of the water displaced by the body. This verifies Archimedes' principle.

Calculate the change in total internal energy for a system that releases 2.59 × 104 kJ of heat and does 6.46 × 104 kJ of work on
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

The equation to use for this is the following:

dU = q + w

As the heat is being release, this value is negative, and same here happens with the work done, because it's in the surroundings.

Therefore the change in the energy would be:

dU = -2.59x10^4 - 6.46^4

dU = -9.05x10^4 kJ

The bob of a pendulum swings back and forth with a total mechanical energy of 300 J. What is the kinetic energy of the bob when
zhenek [66]

at the lowest point in the trajector, the kinetic energy of the bob is 300 J.

Explanation:

The total mechanical energy of the bob at any point of its motion is given by

E=KE+PE

Where

KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^2 is the kinetic energy, where

m is the mass of the bob

v is its speed

PE=mgh is the gravitational potential energy, where

g is the acceleration of gravity

h is the height of the bob, measured with respect to the lowest point of the trajector

In absence of friction, the total mechanical energy E remains constant. So we have:

- When the bob swings upward, the PE increases (because h increases) and the KE decreases (so the speed decreases). At the highest point in the trajector, the speed of the bob is zero (v=0), so its KE is also zero and all the mechanical energy is potential energy: U = 300 J

- When the bob swings downward, the PE decreases (because h decreases) and the KE increases (so the speed increases). At the lowest point in the trajectory, the height has become zero (h=0), so the PE is zero and all the mechanical energy is kinetic energy: KE = 300 J

Therefore, at the lowest point in the trajector, the kinetic energy of the bob is 300 J.
