The meteor accelerates is the true statement about motion when it is approaching Earth.

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation:</u>

Meteor is referred as the rock or a body made of metal wandering in space. The earth has gravitational pull and when any object or anything comes by, it gets accelerated.

Similarly when a meteor approached the earth, it gets pulled by gravitational force acting upon the earth and it gets accelerated and is forced to move into the earth's field.

Objects 1 and 2 attract each other with a gravitational force of 72.0 units. If the mass of Object 1 is one-fourth the original
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

New gravitational force, F' = 216 units

Explanation:

Given that,

Gravitational force between object 1 and 2, F = 72 N

The gravitational force between two objects is given by :

F=\dfrac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}

\dfrac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}=72............(1)

If the mass of object 1, m_1'=\dfrac{m_1}{4}

m_2'=3m_2

If the distance between objects is halved, r'=\dfrac{r}{2}

Let new gravitational force is F'. It is changed to :

F=\dfrac{Gm'_1m'_2}{r'^2}

F'=\dfrac{G\times \dfrac{m_1}{4}\times 3m_2}{(\dfrac{r}{2})^2}

F'=3\times \dfrac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}

F'=3\times F

F'=3\times 72

F' = 216 units

So, the  new gravitational force will be 216 units.

postnew [5]

Answer:

ucosφ=-v2cosθ2\\\\φ=cos^{-1} (\frac{-v2cosθ2}{cosφ} )

Explanation:

Two identical sticky masses m are moving in the xy-plane, with their momenta at an angle of φ with one another. They are each moving at the same speed v when they collide at the origin of the coordinates and stick together. After the collision, the masses move at an angle −θ2 with respect to the +x axis at speed v2 .1. What was the angle φ?

from the principle of momentum

In a system of colliding bodies,we know that the total momentum before collision will equal to the total momentum after collision.

Take note that momentum is the product of mass and velocity

momentum before collision=momentum after collision

mass, m

u=initial velocity of the identical masses

v2=the common velocity after the collision

Note that the collision is inelastic , since they both moved with the same velocity

umcosφ+umcosφ=(m+m)v2cos−θ2

2mucosφ=2mv2cos−θ2

ucosφ=-v2cosθ2\\\\φ=cos^{-1} (\frac{-v2cosθ2}{cosφ} )

Earth is the only source of gravity in the solar system. Do you agree?
PolarNik [594]
I strongly disagree. There are many other planets in our solar system that have gravity on them. The statement is false. I hope this helps.
