Gravitational Acceleration inside a Planet

Physics
1 answer:
vazorg [7]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

PART A

g(R) = \frac{G(rho)(4)\pi R}{3} ;

PART B

g(R) = g(Rp) × \frac{R}{Rp}.

Explanation:

Given density of planet = rho.

The planet's radius = Rp.

An object is located a distance R from the center of the planet,

where R< Rp.

The gravitational fore between two point masses m₁ and m₂ is,

F = \frac{Gm_{1}m_{2}}{r^{2} } ; G= universal gravitational constant

                                                                 r = distance between the masses.

for mass m₂ , F=  m₂ g;  where g = acceleration due to gravity;

so, g = \frac{F}{m_{2} } =  \frac{Gm_{1}}{r^{2} };

From figure, only inside part of the planet exerts force and which can be treated as a point mass.

so, g =  \frac{Gm_{R}}{R^{2} }

where m_{R} = mass of the planet with radius R.

⇒  m_{R} = rho × \frac{4}{3}×\pi×R³

 ⇒ g(R) = \frac{G(rho)(4)\pi R}{3} →  PART A

        PART B

  At the surface g(Rp) =  \frac{G(rho)(4)\pi Rp}{3}

⇒  g(R) = g(Rp) × \frac{R}{Rp}

Which countries that had sea ice along their coasts in September 1986 were bordered by open water in September 2017?
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

Norway, Sweden, Finland and Iceland

Explanation:

Sea ice is a frozen seawater that floats on the ocean surface. It is formed between the Antarctic and Arctic hemisphere. It disappears in summer but not completely. The countries that experienced sea ice in 1986 were eight (8) in number but the countries bordered by open water were in September 2017 were Norway, Iceland, Finland and Russia.

A race car moving along a circular track has a centripetal acceleration of 15.4 m/s? If the car has
Helen [10]

Answer:

r = 58.44 [m]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the following equation that relates the centripetal acceleration with the tangential velocity and the radius of rotation.

a = v²/r

where:

a = centripetal acceleration = 15.4 [m/s²]

v = tangential speed = 30 [m/s]

r = radius or distance [m]

r = v²/a

r = 30²/15.4

r = 58.44 [m]
