Answer:

1.54 kg

Explanation:

mass of first block (m) = 0.76 kg

acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s

what is the mass (m) of the second block

  • force = kx ⇒ mg = kx

        mg = kx

        where m is the mass, g is the acceleration due to gravity, k is the  

        spring constant and x is the extension

        0.76 x 9.8 = kx

       7.5 = kx

        k = 7.5/x ... equation 1

  • when a second block is attached to the first one the amount of stretch triples (this means that extension (x) = 3x)

        therefore the new mass becomes m + 0.76 and the extension  

        becomes 3x

        with the new mass and extension, mg = kx now becomes

        (m+0.76)g = k(3x) ... equation 2

        Recall that k = 7.5/x from equation 1, substituting this value of k into      

        equation 2 we have

         (m+0.76)g =  \frac{7.5}{x} × (3x)

         (m+0.76)g =  7.5 × 3

          substituting the value of g = 9.8 m/s^{2}

         (m + 0.76) x 9.8 = 7.5 x 3

          m + 0.76 = 22.5 ÷ 9.8

          m + 0.76 = 2.3

          m = 2.3 - 0.76 = 1.54 kg

Question 1 of 25
finlep [7]

Answer:

<em>2.753*10^-11N</em>

Explanation:

According to Newton's law of gravitation, the force between the masses is expressed as;

F = GMm/d²

M and m are the distances

d is the distance between the masses

Given

M = 3.71 x 10 kg

m = 1.88 x 10^4 kg

d = 1300m

G = 6.67 x 10-11 Nm²/kg

Substitute into the formula

F = 6.67 x 10-11* (3.71 x 10)*(1.88 x 10^4)/1300²

F = 46.52*10^(-6)/1.69 * 10^6

F = 27.53 * 10^{-6-6}

F = 27.53*10^{-12}

F = 2.753*10^-11

<em>Hence the gravitational force between the asteroid is 2.753*10^-11N</em>
