In the equation for the gravitational force between two objects, which quantity must be squared?

Physics

Alex787 [66]4 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The distance between the two objects must be squared.

Explanation:

Gravitational force always act between two objects that have mass. The gravitational force is a weak force and attractive in nature.

The force of pull depends on the masses of the two objects and the distance between them.

The formula to calculate gravitational force between two objects having masses 'm' and 'M' and separated by a distance 'd' is given as:

F_g=\frac{GmM}{d^2}

Where, 'G' is called the universal gravitational constant and its value is equal to 6.674\times10^{-11}\ m^3 kg^{-1} s^{-2}.

Now, from the above formula, it is clear that, the force of gravitation is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the two objects.

Thus, the quantity that must be squared in the equation of gravitational force between two objects is the distance 'd'.

A snow ball is thrown upward at a speed of 27 m/s. How high is the snow ball 3.5 seconds later? Also, how fast is it moving at t
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

Dy = 111.66 [m]

t  = 3.5 [s]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the equations of kinematics.

v_{f} = v_{o} - (g*t)\\

where:

Vf = final velocity [m/s]

Vo = initial velocity = 27 [m/s]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]

t = time = 3.5 [s]

Note: The negative sign of the equation means that the gravity acceleration goes in opposite direction

Vf = 27 - (9,81*3,5)

Vf = - 7.33 [m/s] (this negative sign indicates that at this moment the snowball is going downwards)

To find how high the snowball was we must use the following equation:

Dy=v_{o} *t+\frac{1}{2}*g*t

Dy = (27*3.5) + (0.5*9.81*3.5)

Dy = 94.5 + (17.16)

Dy = 111.66 [m]

The terminals of a 0.70 Vwatch battery are connected by a 80.0-m-long gold wire with a diameter of 0.200 mm What is the current
Molodets [167]

Answer:

I = 11.26 mA

Explanation:

given,

V = 0.7 V           length = 80 m

diameter   = 0.2 mm = 0.02 cm

radius = 0.01 × 10⁻² m

resistance = \dfarc{\rho l}{A}

ρ for gold wire = 2.44 × 10⁻⁸ ohm-m at 20 °C

A = cross sectional area = π r² = π (0.01 × 10⁻² )²

    = 31.4× 10⁻⁹ m²

resistance = \dfarc{2.44\times 10^{-8} \times 80}{31.4\times 10^{-9}}

R = 62.165 Ω

I = \dfrac{V}{R}

I = \dfrac{0.7}{62.165}

I = 11.26 mA

A laser beam strikes a plane's surface with an angle of52.
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

Angle between incident ray and reflected ray will be 104°

Explanation:

We have given angle of incidence = 52 °

From law of reflection angle of incidence will be equal to angle of reflection

So angle of reflection will be also 52°

We have to find the angle between incident ray and reflected ray

As the incidence angle and reflected angle both is from normal of the surface and opposite to each other

So angle between incident ray and reflected ray will be 52°+52° = 104°
