(a) Calculate the magnitude of the gravitational force exerted by Mars on a 80 kg human standing on the surface of Mars. (The ma

ss of Mars is 6.4multiply1023 kg and its radius is 3.4multiply106 m.)
(b) Calculate the magnitude of the gravitational force exerted by the human on Mars.

(c) For comparison, calculate the approximate magnitude of the gravitational force of this human on a similar human who is standing 4 meters away.

(d) What approximations or simplifying assumptions must you make in these calculations? (Note: Some of these choices are false because they are wrong physics!)

-Use the same gravitational constant in (a) and (b) despite its dependence on the size of the masses.

-Treat Mars as though it were spherically symmetric.

-Treat the humans as though they were points or uniform-density spheres.

-Ignore the effects of the Sun, which alters the gravitational force that one object exerts on another.

Answer:

a) F=1.044\times 10^9\ N

b)F'=1.044\times 10^9\ N

c) F_p=1.0672\times10^{-7}\ N

d) Treat the humans as though they were points or uniform-density spheres.

Explanation:

Given:

  • mass of Mars, M=6.4\times 10^{23}\ kg
  • radius of the Mars, r=3.4\times 10^{6}\ m
  • mass of human, m=80\ kg

a)

Gravitation force exerted by the Mars on the human body:

F=G.\frac{M.m}{r^2}

where:

G=6.67 \times 10^{-11}\ m^3.kg^{-1}.s^{-2} = gravitational constant

F=6.67\times10^{-11}\times \frac{6.4\times 10^{23}\times 80}{(3.4\times 10^{6})^2}

F=1.044\times 10^9\ N

b)

The magnitude of the gravitational force exerted by the human on Mars is equal to the force by the Mars on human.

F'=F

F'=1.044\times 10^9\ N

c)

When a similar person of the same mass is standing at a distance of 4 meters:

F_p=6.67\times10^{-11}\times \frac{80\times 80}{4}

F_p=1.0672\times10^{-7}\ N

d)

The gravitational constant is a universal value and it remains constant in the Universe and does not depends on the size of the mass.

  • Yes, we have to treat Mars as spherically symmetric so that its center of mass is at its geometric center.
  • Yes, we also have to ignore the effect of sun, but as asked in the question we have to calculate the gravitational force only due to one body on another specific body which does not brings sun into picture of the consideration.

Why do our eyes see the color red when we look at a tomato?
forsale [732]

Answer:

B. Tomatos reflect red light

Explanation:

The only reason colors exist is because the objects with color reflect all other light except for what they are portrayed as. White reflects all colors, and black absorbs all colors.

Suppose that the magnetic field in some region has the form B = kz ˆx (where k is a constant). Find the force on a square loop (
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

F = ika^2

Explanation:

As we know that loop is placed in YZ plane and magnetic field is along x direction

So here net force on the side of the loop which lies along Y axis is given as

F_1 = i (\vec L \times \vec B)

here we know that on Y axis z = 0

so B = 0

so we have

F_1 = 0

now on the opposite side we have z = a

so magnetic field is given as

B = ka

so force on that side is given as

F = i(\vec L \times \vec B)

F = i(a)(ka) sin90

F_2 = ika^2

so net force on the loop is given as

F = F_1 + F_2

F = ika^2

A compound microscope is equipped with two objective lenses (10x and 45x) and has a 10x ocular lens. The highest magnification a
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

450X

Explanation:

When a specimen is been viewed, both

objective and ocular lenses works together so that the object is magnified.

From the question,objective lenses are;

1)10x

2)45x

ocular lens= 10x

Highest magnification

= 10X ocular × 45X objective

=450X

This implies that the image that was viewed will appear 450 times the actual size.
