Object A attracts object B with a gravitational force of 10 Newton’s from a given distance. If the distance between the two obje

cts is doubled, what is the new force of an attraction between them?

If the distance between two objects is doubled, then the gravitational forces between them become (1/2)² = 1/4 of the original gravitational forces.

If the magnitude of those forces was 10 Newtons before the move then they're 2.5 Newtons after it.

I changed the wording of the discussion to plural, because the wording in the question is misleading.  It shouldn't say "Object A attracts Object B" and then let it go at that.  Gravitational forces ALWAYS occur in equal pairs.  If Object B feels a pull of 10 Newtons toward Object A, then Object A feels a pull of 10 Newtons toward Object B.  

The masses don't even matter.  Gravity is always there equally in both directions.  Your weight on Earth is equal to the Earth's weight on you !

Please help! the mass of an object is measured on a pan balance with a precision of 0.005 g and the recorded value of 128.01 g.
inysia [295]

Yes, these two objects have different masses.

<h3>How can we calculate that this statement is right ?</h3>

To calculate the precision of mass we are using the formula,

Precision(P) = \frac{m_1}{m_1+\triangle m}

Or,\trianglem=\frac{m_1}{P}-m₁

For the first case we are given,

m₁= The recorded value of mass

= 128.01 g

P= Precision of the mass

=0.005g

So, according to the formula, \trianglem will be,

\trianglem=  \frac{128.01}{0.005}-128.01

Or,\trianglem=25,473.99 g

Or,\trianglem=25.47 Kg

For the first case \trianglem is 25.47 Kg..

For the second case we are given,

m₁= The recorded value of mass

= 0.13 Kg

P= Precision of the mass

=0.005 Kg

So, according to the formula, \trianglem will be,

\trianglem= \frac{0.13}{0.005}-0.13

Or,\trianglem= 25.87 kg

For the second case \trianglem is 25.87 Kg.

For the two cases  \trianglem has different values, 25.47 Kg≠25.87 Kg.

Therefore we can conclude that, these two objects have different masses.

A ball is ejected to the right with an unknown horizontal velocity from the top of a pillar that is 50 meters in height. At the
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

15.67 m/s

Explanation:

The ball has a projectile motion, with a horizontal uniform motion with constant speed and a vertical accelerated motion with constant acceleration g=9.8 m/s^2 downward.

Let's consider the vertical motion only first: the vertical distance covered by the ball, which is S=50 m, is given by

S=\frac{1}{2}gt^2

where t is the time of the fall. Substituting S=50 m and re-arranging the equation, we can find t:

t=\sqrt{\frac{2S}{g}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(50 m)}{9.8 m/s^2}}=3.19 s

Now we now that the ball must cover a distance of 50 meters horizontally during this time, in order to fall inside the carriage; therefore, the velocity of the carriage should be:

v=\frac{d}{t}=\frac{50 m}{3.19 s}=15.67 m/s

Freight car A with a gross weight of 200,000 lbs is moving along the horizontal track in a switching yard at 4 mi/hr. Freight ca
zhenek [66]

Answer: a) 4.7 mi/hr.  b) 86,500 lbs. mi²/Hr²

Explanation:

As in any collision, under the assumption that no external forces exist during the very small collision time, momentum must be conserved.

If the collision is fully inelastic, both masses continue coupled each other as a single mass, with a single speed.

So, we can write the following:

p₁ = p₂ ⇒m₁.v₁ + m₂.v₂ = (m₁ + m₂). vf

Replacing by the values, and solving for vf, we get:

vf = (200,000 lbs. 4 mi/hr + 100,000 lbs. 6 mi/hr) / 300,000 lbs = 4.7 mi/hr

If the track is horizontal, this means that thre is no change in gravitational potential energy, so any loss of energy must be kinetic energy.

Before the collision, the total kinetic energy of the system was the following:

K₁ = 1/2 (m₁.v₁² + m₂.v₂²) = 3,400,000 lbs. mi² / hr²

After the collision, total kinetic energy is as follows:

K₂ = 1/2 ((m₁ + m₂) vf²) = 3,313,500 lbs. mi²/hr²

So we have an Energy loss, equal to the difference between initial kinetic energy and final kinetic energy, as follows:

DE = K₁ - K₂ = 86,500 lbs. mi² / hr²

This loss is due to the impact, and is represented by the work done by friction forces (internal) during the impact.
