To solve the two parts of this problem, we will begin by considering the expressions given for gravitational potential energy and finally kinetic energy (to find velocity). From the potential energy we will obtain its derivative that is equivalent to the Force of gravitational attraction. We will start considering that all the points on the ring are same distance:

r = \sqrt{x^2+R^2}

Then the potential energy is

U = \frac{-GMm}{\sqrt{x^2+R^2}}

PART A) The force is excepted to be along x-axis.

Therefore we take a derivative of U with respect to x.

F = -\frac{dU}{dx}

F = -\frac{d}{dx}(GMm(\frac{1}{R}-\frac{1}{\sqrt{x^2+R^2}}))

F = \frac{GMmx}{(x^2+R^2)^{3/2}}

This expression is the resultant magnitude of the Force F.

PART B) The magnitude of loss in potential energy as the particle falls to the center

U = GMm(\frac{1}{R}-\frac{1}{\sqrt{x^2+R^2}})

According to conservation of energy,

\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = GMm (\frac{1}{R}-\frac{1}{\sqrt{x^2+R^2}})

\therefore v = \sqrt{2GM(\frac{1}{R}-\frac{1}{x^2+R^2})}

A student releases a marble from the top of a ramp. The marble increases
Fed [463]

Answer:

Vf = 69.56 cm/s

Explanation:

In order to find the final speed of the ramp, we will use the equations of motion. First we use second equation of motion to find out the acceleration of marble:

s = Vi t + (1/2)at²

where,

s = distance traveled = 160 cm

Vi = Initial Speed = 0 cm/s (since, marble starts from rest)

t = time interval = 4.6 s

a = acceleration = ?

Therefore,

160 cm = (0 cm/s)(4.6 s) + (1/2)(a)(4.6 s)²

a = (320 cm)/(4.6 s)²

a = 15.12 cm/s²

Now, we use first equation of motion:

Vf = Vi + at

Vf = 0 cm/s + (15.12 cm/s²)(4.6 s)

<u>Vf = 69.56 cm/s</u>

A soccer ball kicked with a force of 12.5 N accelerates at 6.2 m/s’ to the right. What is the mass of the ball? Answer in units
stepladder [879]

Answer:

m = 2.01[kg]

Explanation:

This problem can be solved using Newton's second law which tells us that the force applied on a body is equal to the product of mass by acceleration.

F =m*a

where:

F = force = 12.5 [N]

m = mass [kg]

a = acceleration = 6.2 [m/s²]

12.5=m*6.2\\m = 2.01[kg]

The ocean’s tides are not only affected by the shape of the coastlines, or slope of the ocean floor, but also by the gravitation
dexar [7]

Answer:

a) According to Newton's law of gravitation, as the distance between the Moon and the Earth decreases, the gravitational attraction increases and vice versa

The gravitational force of the Moon on the Earth causes the Earth to be slightly bulged on the side directly facing the Moon

The gravitational force also pulls the water bodies on the Earth's surface towards the Moon in the same manner and the effect is more pronounced due to the ability of the liquid water to assume a shape based on the magnitude of the gravitational field attracting it

Therefore, the region where the Moon is closest to the Earth we have a high tide as the water level rises and the region which is perpendicular to where the Moon is located has a  low tide

b) The two special types of tides are

1) The neap tide

2) The spring tide

Neap tide

Neap tide occurs when the Sun and Moon are 90° apart from each other when they are viewed by an observer from Earth

The gravitational pull of the Sun cancels (partially) the effect of the gravitational pull and tidal force of the Moon, resulting in minimum tidal range

Spring Tide

Spring tide occurs when the Earth, the Moon, and the Sun are simultaneously inline, such that the Sun reinforces the gravitational pull and tidal force of the Moon, resulting in a maximum tidal range
