Hypothetically speaking, if an object were located at the center of the Earth, the gravitational force on that object due to the

surrounding Earth, assuming matter is uniformly distributed, would have which of the following values?
a) The force would be approximately the same value as if the object were on the surface of the Earth.
b) The force would be much greater than the value if the object were on the surface of the Earth.
c) The force would be somewhat less than the value if the object was on the surface of the Earth, but it would be greater than zero newtons.
d) The force would be zero newtons.

Answer:

D. ) The force would be zero newtons

Explanation:

Because

If you are at the center of the earth, gravity is zero because all the mass around you is pulling "up" (every direction there is up!)

So F=mg so if g is zero F is also zero

If the CD rotates clockwise at 500 rpm (revolutions per minute) while the last song is playing, and then spins down to zero angu
gavmur [86]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial Angular velocity w=500rpm

Converting from rpm to rad/s

1rev =2πrad

1minutes =60secs

500rpm=500rev/mins

w = 500×2π/60

wi=52.36rad/s

The final angular velocity wf=0rad/s

Time to stop is t=2.6sec

We want to find angular acceleration α

Using the equation of angular motion

wf = wi + αt.

0 = 52.36 + 2.6α

-52.36=2.6α

α = -52.36/2.6

α = -20.14rad/s²

The angular acceleration is negative because it is decelerating.

Then, α=20.14rad/s²

An object that is 3 times higher than another object of the same mass will
uranmaximum [27]

Answer: I feel that 3 is the answer

Explanation: Let there be 2 objects, A and B

A is at height of 5m whereas B is at height of 15m

so over here let the gravitational potential energy of A be x

and since B is 3 times higher than A B=3x

Since, earth is considered to be the point where gravitational potenial is 0

So hence forth and object 3 times up will have 3 times the gravitational potential energy of A

Two satellites, A and B are in different circular orbits
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

The ratio of the orbital time periods of A and B is \frac{1}{2}

Solution:

As per the question:

The orbit of the two satellites is circular

Also,

Orbital speed of A is 2 times the orbital speed of B

v_{oA} = 2v_{oB}        (1)

Now, we know that the orbital speed of a satellite for circular orbits is given by:

v_{o} = \farc{2\piR}{T}

where

R = Radius of the orbit

Now,

For satellite A:

v_{oA} = \farc{2\piR}{T_{a}}

Using eqn (1):

2v_{oB} = \farc{2\piR}{T_{a}}           (2)

For satellite B:

v_{oB} = \farc{2\piR}{T_{b}}              (3)

Now, comparing eqn (2) and eqn (3):

\frac{T_{a}}{T_{b}} = \farc{1}{2}

Suppose (for this statement only), that q is moved from the origin but is still within both the surfaces. The flux through both
o-na [289]

Answer:

-True  - True  - true   - false -false - false

Explanation:

  • True The flow depends only on the charge into the surface, not on the relative position
  • True The two vectors are radial, so their relative direction  do not changes
  • True It just depends on the charge inside
  • False, it only depends on the charge, not on the form from the integration surface
  • False, because if it has a load inside it can be considered in the center, but if the load is outside the flow lines change direction with respect to the surface
  • False The flow depends only on the load inside, not on its position
