Answer:

Earth attract the Moon with a force that is greater.

Explanation:

According to the law of gravitation, the gravitational force between two masses is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

Mathematically, F1 = Gm1m2/r²... 1

Let m1 be the mass of the earth and m2 be that of the moon

If the Earth is much more massive than is the Moon, the new force of attraction between them will become;

F2= G(2m1)m2/r²

F2 = 2Gm1m2/r² ... (2)

Dividing eqn 1 by 2 we have;

F1/F2 = (Gm1m2/r²)÷(2Gm1m2/r²)

F1/F2 = Gm1m2/r²×r²/2Gm1m2

F1/F2 = 1/2

F2=2F1

This shows that that the earth will attract the moon by a force 2times the initial force of the masses(i.e a much greater force)

Triss [41]

Answer:

2.1406 ×10^6 m/sec

Explanation:

we know that energy is always conserved

so from the law of energy conservation

qV=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

here V is the potential difference  

we know that mass of proton = 1.67×10^{-27} kg

we have given speed =50000m/sec

so potential difference V=\frac{\frac{1}{2}\times 1.67\times 10^{-27}50000^2}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}=13.045

now mass of electron =9.11×10^{-31}

so for electron

\frac{1}{2}\times 9.11\times 10^{-31}v^2=1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 13.045=2.1406\times 10^6 m/sec

so the velocity of electron will be 2.1406×10^6 m/sec

A striped billiard ball moves toward the right with speed 3 m/s. A solid billiard ball with the same mass moves toward the left
Helen [10]

Answer:

Final speed of striped ball is 3 m/s in left direction .

Explanation:

Given :

Two billiard ball with the same mass moves toward the left at the same speed 3 m/s .

Let , us assume right hand side direction to be positive and left hand side direction to be negative .

Also , let speed of ball after collision is (striped ball ) u and (solid ball) v .

It is also given that the collision is elastic .

Therefore , kinetic energy is conserved .

\dfrac{m(3)^2}{2}+\dfrac{m(3)^2}{2}=\dfrac{mu^2}{2}+\dfrac{mv^2}{2}\\\\u^2+v^2=18 ...... ( 1 )

Also , by conserving linear momentum .

We get :

3m-3m=mu+mv\\u=-v                ...... ( 2 )

Putting value of u from equation 2 to equation 1 .

We get :

2v^2=18\\v=3\ m/s

And , u = -3 m/s .

Therefore , final speed of striped ball is 3 m/s in left direction .

Hence , this is the required solution .
