Answer: It would increase.

Explanation:

The equation for determining the force of the gravitational pull between any two objects is:

F = G \frac{m1m2}{r^2}

Where G is the universal gravitational constant, m1 is the mass of one body, m2 is the mass of the other body, and r^2 is the distance between the two objects' centers squared.

Assuming the Earth's mass but not its diameter increased, in the equation above m1 (the term usually indicative of the object of larger mass) would increase, while the r^2 would not.

Thus, it goes without saying that, with some simple reasoning about fractions, an increasing numerator over a constant denominator would result in a larger number to multiply by G, thus also meaning a larger gravitational strength between Earth and whatever other object is of interest.

We want to find how much charge is on the electrons in a nickel coin. Follow this method. A nickel coin has a mass of about 4.2
monitta

Answer:

The number of atoms is N = 4.37*10^{22} \ atoms

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

                 The mass of coin  is m_n = 4.2g

                   Number of atom in one mole = n =6.02*10^{23} \ atoms

                   Molar mass of nickel M = 57.8g

Now the relation to obtain the number of atom in  the  nickel coin is

                        N = \frac{Mass \ of Nickel\ coin}{Molar \ mass\ of nickel }  * No\ of\atoms \ in \ \ one\  mole\ of\ nickel

                           = \frac{4.2}{57.8}* 6.02*10^{23}

                           =4.37 *10^{22} atoms

Two teams of nine members each engage in tug-of-war. Each of the first team's members has an average mass of 68 kg and exerts an
diamong [38]

Answer:

(a) Acceleration  = 0.1063 m/s^2      (Second team wins)

(b) Tension in rope = 65.106 N

Explanation:

Total mass of first team = 68 * 9 = 612 kg

Total force of first team = 1350 * 9 = 12150 N

Total mass of second team = 73 * 9 = 657 kg

Total force of seconds team = 1365 * 9 = 12285 N

Difference in force = 12285 - 12150 = 135 N   (towards the second team as it has more force)

(a) For acceleration we get:

F = m * a

135 = (mass of both teams) * a

a = 135 / (612 + 657)

acceleration  = 0.1063 m/s^2      (Second team wins)

(b) Since we know the acceleration of the first team (pulling being pulled towards the second team at an acceleration of 0.1063 m/s^2) , we can find out the force required to move them:

Force required for first team = mass of first team * acceleration

Force required = 612 * 0.1063

Force required = 65.106 N

This is the force exerted on the first team through the rope, so the tension in the rope will also be 65.106 N.

A 5.00 kg crate is suspended from the end of a short vertical rope of negligible mass. An upward force F(t) is applied to the en
Brut [27]

Answer:

75 N

Explanation:

In this problem, the position of the crate at time t is given by

y(t)=2.80t+0.61t^3

The velocity of the crate vs time is given by the derivative of the position, so it is:

v(t)=y'(t)=\frac{d}{dt}(2.80t+0.61t^3)=2.80+1.83t^2

Similarly, the acceleration of the crate vs time is given by the derivative of the velocity, so it is:

a(t)=v'(t)=\frac{d}{dt}(2.80+1.83t^2)=3.66t [m/s^2]

According to Newton's second law of motion, the force acting on the crate is equal to the product between mass and acceleration, so:

F(t)=ma(t)

where

m = 5.00 kg is the mass of the crate

At t = 4.10 s, the acceleration of the crate is

a(4.10)=3.66\cdot 4.10 =15.0 m/s^2

And therefore, the force on the crate is:

F=ma=(5.00)(15.0)=75 N
