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.

The experiments Galileo performed, such as rolling a ball down an inclined plane, are important because they
anyanavicka [17]

Galileo Galilei is one of the key figures in the history of Science, being the first to apply the experimental-mathematical scientific method. He carried out experiments and careful observations in kinematics (his studies on the trajectory of projectiles are famous) and dynamics (it should be noted his careful experiments with inclined planes), establishing the first law of Dynamics (which Newton will later collect and refine in his Principles); and in Astronomy, with which he could unequivocally support the heliocentric theory.

His experiments were addressed by methodologies that allowed him to precisely find his mathematical calculations and to verify theories he was developing over time. His manuscripts were key to disseminate the applied method and extrapolate them to other scientific areas.

Therefore the correct answer is C.

This force can either push the block upward at a constant velocity or allow it to slide downward at a constant velocity. The mag
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

Part a)

F = 135.7 N

Part b)

F = 62.5 N

Explanation:

Part a)

If block is sliding up then net force must be zero and friction will be in opposite to the direction of motion of the block

Fcos\theta = mg + F_f

Fsin\theta = F_n

so we have

Fcos\theta = mg + \mu(Fsin\theta)

F(cos\theta - \mu sin\theta) = mg

F = \frac{mg}{cos\theta - \mu sin\theta}

F = \frac{55}{cos50 - 0.310(sin50)}

F = 135.7 N

Part b)

If block is sliding down then net force must be zero and friction will be in opposite to the direction of motion of the block

Fcos\theta = mg - F_f

Fsin\theta = F_n

so we have

Fcos\theta = mg - \mu(Fsin\theta)

F(cos\theta + \mu sin\theta) = mg

F = \frac{mg}{cos\theta + \mu sin\theta}

F = \frac{55}{cos50 + 0.310(sin50)}

F = 62.5 N

Which type of exercise is weightlifting?
MatroZZZ [7]

The answer is option B "anaerobic." Weightlifting deals with stress to the muscles when lifting weights and due time the muscles will begin to adapt and get stronger. Other examples of anaerobic exercise are things like: weight training, sprinting, cycling, and jumping anything that has short exertion, and high-intensity movement is an anaerobic exercise.

Hope this helps!

Estimate the total number of bacteria and other prokaryotes in the biosphere of the earth. (assume the bacteria are found to a d
Fofino [41]
Since the Earth is almost spherical in shape, we are actually to find first the volume of the spherical segment at a depth of 1,000 m. The radius of the Earth is 6,371,000 meters. The volume of a spherical segment is:

V = 1/3*πh²(3r - h)
Substituting the values and making sure the units is in mm,
V = 1/3*π(1000 m * 1000 mm/1 m)²[3(6,371,000 m * 1000 mm/1 m) - (1000 m * 1000 mm/1 m)]
V = 2×10²² mm³

Thus, the total amount of bacteria is:

2×10²² mm³ * 100 bacteria/1 mm³ = 2×10²⁴ bacteria

What is the relationship between inertia and mass?
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

The greater the mass, the greater the inertia, and vice versa.

Remark: This means that a more massive object has a greater tendency to resist a change in its state of rest or motion.
