Which objects will likely have the smallest gravitational force between them?
1 answer:
Answer:
A. Two tennis balls that are near each other
Explanation:
The formula for gravitational force (F) between two objects is
where m₁ and m₂ are the masses of the two objects, d is the distance between their centres, and G is the gravitational constant.
Thus, two objects that are far from each other will have a smaller gravitational force. We can eliminate Options C and D.
If the objects are at the same distance, those with the smaller mass will have a smaller force.
The mass of a tennis ball is 57 g.
The mass of a soccer ball is 430 g.
Two tennis balls that are near each other will have a smaller gravitational attraction.

We simply use the formula,
Given, velocity = 4 m per s and distance = 120 m.
Substituting these values, we get
.
Thus, required time for the elevator in order to travel 120 m upwards is 30 s.
The question is incomplete. The complete question is :
To measure the effective coefficient of friction in a bone joint, a healthy joint (and its immediate surroundings) can be removed from a fresh cadaver. The joint is inverted, and a weight is used to apply a downward force F⃗ d on the head of the femur into the hip socket. Then, a horizontal force F⃗ h is applied and increased in magnitude until the femur head rotates clockwise in the socket. The joint is mounted in such a way that F⃗ h will cause clockwise rotation, not straight-line motion to the right. The friction force will point in a direction to oppose this rotation.
Draw vectors indicating the normal force n⃗ (magnitude and direction) and the frictional force f⃗ f (direction only) acting on the femur head at point A.
Assume that the weight of the femur is negligible compared to the applied downward force.
Draw the vectors starting at the black dot. The location, orientation and relative length of the vectors will be graded
Solution :
The normal force represented by N is equal to the downward force, which is equal in magnitude but it is opposite in direction.
Also the frictional force acts always to oppose the motion because the bone starts moving in a clockwise direction. The frictional force that will be applied to the right direction so that the movement or the rotation at A is opposed.
