1) The forces are equal (Newton's third law of motion)

2) The force between the spheres will quadruple

3) The force of gravity exerted by the notebook on you is negligible

Explanation:

1)

In this part of the problem, we want to compare the gravitational force exerted by the larger mass sphere on the smaller mass sphere to the force exerted by the smaller mass sphere to the larger mass sphere.

We can do this by using Newton's third law of motion, which states that:

<em>"When an object A exerts a force (called </em><em>action</em><em>) on an object B, then object B exerts an equal and opposite force (called </em><em>reaction</em><em>) on object A"</em>

In this problem, we can identify the larger mass sphere as object A and the smaller mass sphere as object B. This law tells us that the two forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction: therefore, the gravitational force exerted by the larger mass sphere on the smaller mass sphere is equal to the force exerted by the smaller mass sphere to the larger mass sphere.

2)

The magnitude of the gravitational force between the two spheres is given by

F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}

where

G is the gravitational constant

m_1, m_2 are the masses of the two spheres

r is the separation between the two spheres

In this problem, we are asked to find what happens when the distance between the spheres is halved, therefore when the new distance is

r'=\frac{r}{2}

Substituting into the equation, we find

F'=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r'^2}=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{(r/2)^2}=4(\frac{Gm_1 m_2}{r^2})=4F

So, the force between the two spheres will quadruple.

3)

We can give an estimate for the gravitational force exerted by your notebook on you.

As we said, the magnitude of the gravitational force is

F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}

Where:

G=6.67\cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1}s^{-2} is the gravitational constant

Let's estimate the following:

m_1 = 60 kg is your mass

m_2 = 2 kg is the mass of the notebook

r=1 m, assuming the notebook is at 1 metre from you

Substituting,

F=(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})\frac{(60)(2)}{1^2}=8.0\cdot 10^{-9} N

We see that this force has an extremely small value: therefore, it is almost negligible in daily life, where other much stronger forces act on you.

Find the direction and magnitude of the net force exerted on the point charge q3 in the figure. Let q= +2.4 μC and d= 33cm.
kobusy [5.1K]

With the use of electric force formula, the direction and magnitude of the net force exerted on the point charge q3 are 9.9 x 10^{11} N and 66 degrees

ELECTRIC FORCE (F)

F = \frac{KQq}{d^{2} }

Where K = 9 x 10^{9} Nm^{2}/C^{2}

The distance between q_{1} and q_{3} can be calculated by using Pythagoras theorem.

d = \sqrt{33^{2} + 33^{2}  }

d = 46.7 cm = 0.467 m

For force F_{1}, substitute all the parameters into the formula above

F_{1} = (9 x 10^{9} x 3 x 1)/0.467^{2}

F_{1} = 2.7 x 10^{10}/0.218

F_{1} = 1.24 x 10^{11} N

For force F_{4}, substitute all the parameters into the formula above

F_{4} = (9 x 10^{9} x 3 x 4)/0.33^{2}

F_{4} = 1.08 x 10^{11}/0.1089

F_{4} = 9.92 x 10^{11} N

For force F_{2}, substitute all the parameters into the formula above

F_{2} = (9 x 10^{9} x 3 x 2)/0.33^{2}

F_{2} = 5.4 x 10^{10}/0.1089

F_{2} = 4.96 x 10^{11} N

Summation of forces on Y component will be

F_{y} = F_{4} - F_{1} Sin 45

F_{y} = 9.92 x 10^{11} - 1.24 x 10^{11} Sin 45

F_{y} = 9.04 x 10^{11} N

Summation of forces on X component will be

F_{x} = F_{2} - F_{1} Cos 45

F_{x} = 4.96 x 10^{11} - 1.24 x 10^{11} Sin 45

F_{x} = 4.08 x 10^{11} N

Net Force = \sqrt{F_{x} ^{2} + F_{y} ^{2}  } }

Net force = \sqrt{(4.08*10^{11}) ^{2} + (9.04*10^{11}) ^{2}  }

Net force = 9.9 x 10^{11} N

The direction will be

Tan ∅ = F_{y}/F_{x}

Tan ∅ = 9.04 x 10^{11} / 4.08 x 10^{11}

Tan ∅ = 2.216

∅ = Tan^{-1}(2.216)

∅ = 65.7 degrees

Therefore, the direction and magnitude of the net force exerted on the point charge q3 are 9.9 x 10^{11} N and 66 degrees approximately.

SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP!!! Indicate the reasons why the centripetal acceleration (and centripetal force) always point to the center
maxonik [38]
Well we know the correct answer cannot be "a" bcause velocity is tangent to the circlular path of an object experienting centripical motion. Velocity DOES NOT point inward in centripical motion.

we know the correct answer cannot be "b" because "t" stands for "time" which cannot point in any direction. so, time cannot point toward the center of a circle and therefore this answer must be incorrect.

I would choose answer choice "c" because both force and centripical acceleration point toward the center of the circle.

I do not think answer choice "d" can be correct because the velocity of the mass moves tangent to the circle. velocity = (change in position) / time. Therefore, by definition the mass is moving in the direction of the velocity which does not point to the center of the circle.

does this make sense? any questions?
