two masses are kept 2 metre apart there is gravitational force of 2 Newton what is the gravitational force when they are kept at

sukhopar [10]

Answer: 0.5N

Explanation:

Gravitational force is calculated using the formula :

F = Gm1m2/r^2

Where G is the gravitational constant (6.67 × 10^-11)

At a distance 'r' of 2metres apart:

Mass of objects are m1 and m2

Gravitational force 'F1' = 2N

Inputting values into the formula :

2 = Gm1m2 / 2^2 - - - - - (1)

At a distance 'r' of 4meters apart:

Mass of objects are m1 and m2

Gravitational force 'F2' = y

Inputting values

F2 = Gm1m2 / 4^2 - - - - - (2)

Dividing equations 1 and 2

2 = Gm1m2 / 2^2 ÷ F2 = Gm1m2 / 4^2

2 / F2 = (Gm1m2 / 4) / (Gm1m2 / 16)

2 / F2 = (Gm1m2 / 4) × (16 / Gm1m2)

2/F2 = 16 / 4

Cross multiply

2 × 4 = 16 × F2

8 = 16F2

F2 = 8/16

F2 = 0.5N

A solar eclipse that occurs when the new moon is too far from Earth to completely cover the Sun can be either a partial solar ec

liq [111]

Answer:

ANULAR ECLIPSE

Explanation:

ANULAR ECLIPSE. Because the moon is very far, only a portion of the sun would be obscured, and then only the moon's outer ring will be viewable; this is called the anular eclipse.The ring of fire marks the maximum stage of an annular solar eclipse.

Why is static electricity worse in winter?

Ratling [72]

Because static electricity build up in our homes because we have the heaters on which suck moisture out of the air.

A rock has a mass of 25kg. The acceleration due to gravity is 10m/s and the height of the rock is 42 m. Find the potential energ

alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

The potential energy of the rock = 10.5 kN

Explanation:

Mass of rock = 25 kg

Acceleration due to gravity = 10 m/s²

Height = 42 m

Potential energy, PE = mgh, where m is the mass, g is acceleration due to gravity and h is the height.

PE = 25 x 10 x 42 = 10500 N = 10.5 kN

The potential energy of the rock = 10.5 kN

The Hubble Space Telescope orbits the Earth at approximately 612,000m altitude. Its mass is 11,100 kg and the mass of earth is 5

nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

7.55 km/s

Explanation:

The force of gravity between the Earth and the Hubble Telescope corresponds to the centripetal force that keeps the telescope in uniform circular motion around the Earth:

$G\frac{mM}{R^2}=m\frac{v^2}{R}$

where

$G=6.67\cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1} s^{-2}$ is the gravitational constant

$m=11,100 kg$ is the mass of the telescope

$M=5.97\cdot 10^{24} kg$ is the mass of the Earth

$R=r+h=6.38\cdot 10^6 m+612,000 m=6.99\cdot 10^6 m$ is the distance between the telescope and the Earth's centre (given by the sum of the Earth's radius, r, and the telescope altitude, h)

v = ? is the orbital velocity of the Hubble telescope

Re-arranging the equation and substituting numbers, we find the orbital velocity:

$v=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{R}}=\sqrt{\frac{(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})(5.97\cdot 10^{24} kg)}{6.99\cdot 10^6 m}}=7548 m/s=7.55 km/s$
