Answer:

|\Delta v |=\sqrt{\frac{4Gm}{d} }

Explanation:

Consider two particles are initially at rest.

Therefore,

the kinetic energy of the particles is zero.

That initial K.E. = 0

The relative velocity with which both the particles are approaching each other is Δv and their reduced masses are

\mu= \frac{m_1m_2}{m_1+m_2}

now, since both the masses have mass m

therefore,

\mu= \frac{m^2}{2m}

= m/2

The final K.E. of the particles is

KE_{final}=\frac{1}{2}\times \mu\times \Delta v^2

Distance between two particles is d and the gravitational potential energy between them is given by

PE_{Gravitational}= \frac{Gmm}{d}

By law of conservation of energy we have

KE_{initial}+KE_{final}= PE_{gravitaional}

Now plugging the values we get

0+\frac{1}{2}\frac{m}{2}\Delta v^2= -\frac{Gmm}{d}

|\Delta v |=\sqrt{\frac{4Gm}{d} }

=\sqrt{\frac{Gm}{d} }

This the required relation between G,m and d

The Cosmoclock 21 Ferris wheel in Yokohama City, Japan, has a diameter of 100 m. Its name comes from its 60 arms, each of which
emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

A ) angular velocity ω = 2π / T

= 2 x 3.14 / 60

= .10467 rad / s

linear velocity v = ω R

=  .10467 x 50

= 5.23 m / s

centripetal force = m v² / R

= mg v² / gR

= 834 x 5.23² / 9.8 x 50

= 46.55 N

B )

apparent weight

= mg - centripetal force

= 834 - 46.55

= 787.45 N

C ) apparent weight

= mg + centripetal force

= 834 + 46.55

= 880.55 N.

D )

For apparent weight to be zero

centripetal force = mg

mg = mv² / R

v² = gR

= 9.8 x 50

= 490

v = 22.13 m /s

time period of revolution

= 2π R /v

2 x 3.14 x 50 / 22.13

= 14.19 s

What is the magnitude of electrical force of attraction between an copper nucleus (29 protons) and its innermost electron if the
Agata [3.3K]
The charge of the copper nucleus is 29 times the charge of one proton:
Q=29 q= 29 \cdot 1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C=4.64 \cdot 10^{-18}C
the charge of the electron is
e=-1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C
and their separation is
r=1.0 \cdot 10^{-12} m

The magnitude of the electrostatic force between them is given by:
F=k_e  \frac{Qe}{r^2}
where k_e is the Coulomb's constant. If we substitute the numbers, we find (we can ignore the negative sign of the electron charge, since we are interested only in the magnitude of the force)
F=(8.99 \cdot 10^9 Nm^2C^{-2}) \frac{(4.64 \cdot 10^{-18}C)(1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C)}{(1.0 \cdot 10^{-12} m)^2}=6.68 \cdot 10^{-3} N

efrigerant-134a is expanded isentropically from 600 kPa and 70°C at the inlet of a steady-flow turbine to 100 kPa at the outlet.
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

Inlet : v_i=0.0646\frac{m}{s}

Outlet:  v_o=0.171\frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

1) Notation and important concepts

Flow of mass represent "the mass of a substance which passes per unit of time".

Flow rate represent "a measure of the volume of liquid that moves in a certain amount of time"

Specific volume is "the ratio of the substance's volume to its mass. It is the reciprocal of density."

Isentropic process is a "thermodynamic process, in which the entropy of the fluid or gas remains constant".

We know that the flow of mass is given by the following expression

\dot{m}=\frac{\dot{V}}{\upsilon}, where \dot{V} represent the flow rate and \upsilon the specific volume at the pressure and temperature given.

A_i=0.5m^2 is the inlet area

P_i=600Kpa pressure at the inlet area

T_i=70C temperature at the inlet area

A_o=1m^2 is the outlet area

P_o=100Kpa pressure at the outlet area

T_o=C temperature at the outlet area

\dot{m}=0.75\frac{kg}{s} represent the flow of mass

If we look at the first figure attached Table A-13 we see that the specific volume for the inlet condition is

\upsilon_i =0.04304\frac{kg}{m^3} and the entropy is h_i=1.0645\frac{KJ}{KgK}=h_o

With the value of entropy and the outlet pressure of 100 Kpa we can find we specific volume at the outlet condition since w ehave the entropy h_o=1.0645\frac{KJ}{KgK}

Since on the table we don't have the exact value we need to interpolate between these two values (see the second figure attached)

h_1=1.0531\frac{KJ}{KgK} , \upsilon_1=0.22473\frac{kg}{m^3}

h_2=1.0829\frac{KJ}{KgK} , \upsilon_2=0.23349\frac{kg}{m^3}

Our interest value would be given using interpolation like this:

\upsilon=0.22473+\frac{(0.23349-0.22473)}{(1.0829-1.0531)}(1.0645-1.0531)=0.228\frac{kg}{m^3}

2) Solution to the problem

Now since we have all the info required to solve the problem we can find the velocities on this way.

We know from the definition of flow of mass that \dot{m}=\frac{\dot{V}}{\upsilon}, but since \dot{V}=Av we have this:

\dot{m}=\frac{Av}{\upsilon}

If we solve from the velocity v we have this:

v=\frac{\upsilon \dot{m}}{A}   (*)

And now we just need to replace the values into equation (*)

For the inlet case:

v_i=\frac{\upsilon_i \dot{m}}{A_i}=\frac{0.043069\frac{kg}{m^3}(0.75\frac{kg}{s})}{0.5m^2}=0.0646\frac{m}{s}

For the oulet case:

v_o=\frac{\upsilon_o \dot{m}}{A_o}=\frac{0.228\frac{kg}{m^3}(0.75\frac{kg}{s})}{1m^2}=0.171\frac{m}{s}
