(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.

Explain the difference between the four states of matter.
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

Solids :A solid has a definite shape and volume because the molecules that make up the solid are packed closely together and move slowly. Solids are often crystalline; examples of crystalline solids include table salt, sugar, diamonds, and many other minerals. Solids are sometimes formed when liquids or gases are cooled; ice is an example of a cooled liquid which has become solid. Other examples of solids include wood, metal, and rock at room temperature.  Liquids : A liquid has a definite volume but takes the shape of its container. Examples of liquids include water and oil. Gases may liquefy when they cool, as is the case with water vapor. This occurs as the molecules in the gas slow down and lose energy. Solids may liquefy when they heat up; molten lava is an example of solid rock which has liquefied as a result of intense heat.  Gases : A gas has neither a definite volume nor a definite shape. Some gases can be seen and felt, while others are intangible for human beings. Examples of gases are air, oxygen, and helium. Earth's atmosphere is made up of gases including nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide.  Plasma: Plasma has neither a definite volume nor a definite shape. Plasma often is seen in ionized gases, but it is distinct from a gas because it possesses unique properties. Free electrical charges (not bound to atoms or ions) cause the plasma to be electrically conductive. The plasma may be formed by heating and ionizing a gas. Examples of plasma include stars, lightning, fluorescent lights, and neon signs.

A 2000 kg car experiences a braking force of 10000N and skids to a 14 m stop. What was the speed of the car just before the brak
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

V = 11.83 m/s

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 2000 kg

Force = 10000N

Distance = 14 m

To find the final velocity of the car;

First of all, we would determine the acceleration of the car;

Acceleration = force/mass

Acceleration = 10000/2000

Acceleration = 5 m/s²

Next, we would use the third equation of motion to find the final velocity;

V^{2} = U^{2} + 2aS

Where;

V represents the final velocity measured in meter per seconds.

U represents the initial velocity measured in meter per seconds.

a represents acceleration measured in meters per seconds square.

S represents the displacement measured in meters.

Substituting into the equation, we have;

V² = 0² + 2*5*14

V² = 0 + 140

V = √140

V = 11.83 m/s
