What must be the units for the gravitational constant G in order for gravitational force to have units of newtons?

Physics

babunello [35]2 years ago

Answer:

m³/(kg⋅s²)

Explanation:

Hello.

In this case, since the involved formula is:

F=G*\frac{m_1m_2}{r^2}

By writing a dimensional analysis with the proper algebra handling, we obtain:

N[=]G*\frac{kg*kg}{m^2}\\ \\kg*\frac{m}{s^2}[=]G *\frac{kg*kg}{m^2}\\\\G[=]\frac{kg*m*m^2}{kg^2*s^2}\\ \\G[=]\frac{m^3}{kg*s^2}

Thus, answer is:

m³/(kg⋅s²)

Note that the [=] is used to indicate the units of G.

Best regards

A ball rolls forward in the grass slowing down as it rolls?
olga nikolaevna [1]

Yes it does, uh huh.  It slows down as it rolls.  That's a fact.

In order for the ball to roll forward, it has to push grass out of the way.  That takes energy.  To bend each blade of grass out of its way, the ball has to use a tiny bit of the kinetic energy that it has, so it gradually runs out of kinetic energy.  When its kinetic energy is all gone, it stops moving.

While eating lunch high up in a skyscraper, two construction workers calculate their gravitational potential
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

The mass of the other worker is 45 kg

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The gravitational potential energy of one construction worker = The gravitational potential energy of the other construction worker

The mass of the lighter construction worker, m₁ = 90 kg

The height level of the lighter construction worker's location = h₁

The height level of the other construction worker's location = h₂ = 2·h₁

The gravitational potential energy, P.E.,  is given as follows;

P.E. = m·g·h

Where;

m = The mass of the object at height

g = The acceleration due to gravity

h = The height at which is located

Let P.E.₁ represent the gravitational potential energy of one construction worker and let P.E.₂ represent the gravitational potential energy of the other construction worker

We have;

P.E.₁ = P.E.₂

Therefore;

m₁·g·h₁ = m₂·g·h₂

h₂ = 2·h₁

We have;

m₁·g·h₁ = m₂·g·2·h₁

m₁ = 2·m₂

90 kg = 2 × m₂

m₂ = (90 kg)/2 = 45 kg

The mass of the other construction worker is 45 kg.

A race car accelerates from 0.00m/s to 40.0m/s with a displacement of 50.0m. What was the cars
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

Explanation:

Using the equation of motion v² = u²+2as

v is the final velocity = 40m/s

u is the iniyail velocity 0m/s

a is the acceleration

s is the displacement

Substituting in the formula;

40² = 0²+2a(50)

1600 = 100a

Divide both sides by 100

100a/100 = 1600/100

a = 16

Hence the car acceleration is 16m/s²
