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:
Where, 'G' is called the universal gravitational constant and its value is equal to .
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'.
Answer:2.6 h
Explanation:
Given
Total Trip distance=450 miles
Meeting starts after 10.8 hours
safe Fastest speed is 55 mi/h
so if he drives all the to the meeting with max speed then it takes
and total allowable time is 10.8
Therefore longest time he can spend over dinner is
Answer:
Explanation:
This is a 2D problem (parabolic) so we have to think that way. We have to split up the problem into its 2 dimensions to solve it. Think "y-stuff" and "x-stuff".
In the y-stuff category:
v₀ = 0 (initial upwards velocity is 0 since we are told the penny is thrown horizontally)
Δx = -10.0 m (this displacement is negative because the penny lands 10.0 m below the point from which it was thrown)
a = -9.8 m/s/s
t = ? (we need to find the time in this dimension so we can use it in the x dimension to find the displacement, our unknown)
In the "x-stuff" category:
v₀ = 7.25 m/s (this is given)
Δx = ???
a = 0 (acceleration in this dimension is ALWAYS 0)
t = (we will solve for this in the y-dimension and plug it in here).
In the y dimension:
Δx = v₀t + and plugging in from the y-dimension info:
which simplifies to
so
which, to 2 significant digits is
t = 1.4 seconds
Now we will do the same in the x-dimension, using t = 1.4:
Δx = v₀t + and filling in the x-stuff:
Δx = Notice that the stuff after the + sign goes to 0 cuz of the multiplication of 0, so what we are left with is another form of the d = rt equation:
Δx = 7.25(1.4) + 0 so
Δx = 1.0 × 10¹ m (That's rounded correctly to 2 sig dig's: 10 m from the base of the building).
