A very massive object A and a less massive object B move toward each other under the influence of gravity. Which force, if eithe

r, is greater

ICE Princess25 [194]3 years ago

4 0

Answer:

Both are equal.

Explanation:

As per the theory of gravitational force, when two objects will be thrown from same height but of different masses, both will reach the ground at same time.

The force of gravity will act same on both objects.

Simple experiments were done by Sir Isaac Newton to reach out to reach out to this conclusion. Two objects were made to fall free under the influence of gravity, neglecting every other small forces, it was observed irrespective of different masses both reaches the ground at same time.

What force, in newtons, must you exert on the balloon with your hands to create a gauge pressure of 62.5 cm H2O, if you squeeze

yulyashka [42]

Answer:54.70 N

Explanation:

Given

Gauge Pressure of $62.5 cm of H_2O$

i.e. $h=62.5 cm =0.625 m$

Effective area $A=51 cm^2$

initial Pressure $= 1 atm=101.325 kPa$

Gauge Pressure $P=\rho gh$

$\rho =density\ of\ water =1000 kg/m^3$

$P_{gauge}=1000\times 9.8\times 0.625=5.937 kPa$

Force creates a pressure of $P_1$ which will be equal to Gauge Pressure

$P_1=\frac{F}{A}$

$P_1=P_{gauge}$

$\frac{F}{A}=5.937 kPa$

$F=5.937\times 51\times 10^{-4}\times 10^3$

$F=30.27 N$

A box of volume V has a movable partition separating it into two compartments. The left compartment contains 3000 particles, the

storchak [24]

Answer:

a) V1 = 4V - V2/3 and V2 = 4V - 3V1

b) Δe = 4000V - 4000V2 + 9000V1

Explanation:

Let V represent volume of the box containing the two compartments

V1 represents compartment of the left compartment

V2 represents compartment of the right compartment

Momentum of the compartments before impact:

3000V1 + 1000V2

Momentum of the compartments after impact:

V(3000 + 1000) = 4000V

a) To obtain the volume of each compartment, that is, V1 and V2, we say:

Momentum before impact = Momentum after impact

3000V1 + 1000V2 = 4000V

∴ V1 = 4000V - 1000V2/3000 = 4V - V2/3

Also, V2 = 4000V - 3000V1/1000 = 4V - 3V1

b) Change in entropy,Δe = 4000V1 - 1000V2

By substituting the V1 and V2, we have:

4000(4V - V2)/3 - 1000(4V - 3V1)

16000V - 4000V2/3 - 4000V + 3000V1

16000V - 4000V2 - 12000V + 9000V1

∴ Δe = 4000V - 4000V2 + 9000V1

To develop the problem it is necessary to apply the equations related to the moment of inertia.

The given values can be defined as,

$M = 1.0 kg$

$r = 0.5 m$

$m = 10 g$

$I = 0.280 kg.m^2$

According to the definition of the moment of inertia applied to the exercise we can arrive at the equation that,

$I = I_{rim} + n * I_{spoke}$

Where n is the number of spokes necessary to construct the wheel.

$I_{rim} = M*r^2 = 1.0 * 0.5^2$

$I_{spoke} = \frac{1}{3} * m * r^2 = \frac{1}{3}* 10 * 10^-3 * 0.5^2$

Replacing the values at the general equation we have,

$0.280 = 1.0 * 0.5^2 + n * (1/3 * 10 * 10^-3 * 0.5^2 )$

Solving for n,

$n = 36$

Therefore the number of spokes necessary to construct the wheel is 36

PART B) The mass of the wheel is given by the sum of all masses and the total spokes, then

$M_w= M + n*m$

$M_w = 1.0 + 36* 10 * 10^{-3} Kg$

$M_w = 1.36 Kg$

Therefore the mass of the wheel must be of 1.36Kg

A vector has an x-component

9966 [12]

Explanation:

The magnitude of a vector v can be found using Pythagorean's theorem.

||v|| = √(vₓ² + vᵧ²)

||v|| = √((-309)² + (187)²)

||v|| ≈ 361

You can find the angle of a vector using trigonometry.

tan θ = vᵧ / vₓ

tan θ = 187 / -309

θ ≈ 149° or θ ≈ 329°

vₓ is negative and vᵧ is positive, so θ must be in the second quadrant. Therefore, θ ≈ 149°.
