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 layer of the atmosphere has the highest density?
fomenos

Answer:

The Troposphere is the lowermost portion of Earth’s atmosphere. It is the densest layer of the atmosphere and contains approximately 75 percent of the mass of the atmosphere and almost all the water vapor and aerosol. The troposphere extends from the Earth’s surface up to the tropopause where the stratosphere begins.

A man standing on a bus remains still when the bus is at rest. When the bus moves forward and then slows down the man continues
Stells [14]
C. inertia.  the man is sent flying off the bus because of his weight and the sudden stop of the bus. this effect is called inertia. an example of gravity would be throwing an apple up and having it come to the ground. an example of weight would be putting a man and an elephant on a scale and having the elephant come down while the man goes up.

Determine the energy required to accelerate an electron between each of the following speeds. (a) 0.500c to 0.900c MeV (b) 0.900
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

The energy required to accelerate an electron is 0.582 Mev and 0.350 Mev.

Explanation:

We know that,

Mass of electron m_{e}=9.11\times10^{-31}\ kg

Rest mass energy for electron = 0.511 Mev

(a). The energy required to accelerate an electron from 0.500c to 0.900c Mev

Using formula of rest,

E=\dfrac{E_{0}}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v_{f}^2}{c^2}}}-\dfrac{E_{0}}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v_{i}^2}{c^2}}}

E=\dfrac{0.511}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{(0.900c)^2}{c^2}}}-\dfrac{0.511}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{(0.500c)^2}{c^2}}}

E=0.582\ Mev

(b). The energy required to accelerate an electron from 0.900c to 0.942c Mev

Using formula of rest,

E=\dfrac{E_{0}}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v_{f}^2}{c^2}}}-\dfrac{E_{0}}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v_{i}^2}{c^2}}}

E=\dfrac{0.511}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{(0.942c)^2}{c^2}}}-\dfrac{0.511}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{(0.900c)^2}{c^2}}}

E=0.350\ Mev

Hence, The energy required to accelerate an electron is 0.582 Mev and 0.350 Mev.
