Two particles, each of mass m, are initially at rest very far apart.Obtain an expression for their relative speed of approach at

any instant as a function of their separation distance d if the only interaction is their gravitational attraction to each other.Express your answer in terms of some or all of the variables m, d, and gravitational constant G.

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

Andru [333]

To increase the acceleration of the car using the same engine, the   mass of the car must be decreased.

<h3>What is Newton's first law of motion</h3>

Newton's first law of motion states that an object at rest or uniform motion in a straight line will continue in that path unless acted upon by an external force.

The first law is also called the law of inertia because it depends on the mass of the object. The greater the mass, the greater the inertia and more reluctant the object will be to move.

Thus, to increase the acceleration of the car using the same engine, the   mass of the car must be decreased.

a = F/m

If you climb to the top of Mt. Everest, you will be 8850 m (about 5.50 mi) above sea level.
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

9.773m/s2

Explanation:

Given,

h=8848m

The value of sea level is 9.08m/s2

So,

Let g′ be the acceleration due to the gravity on the Mount Everest.

g′=g(1−h2h)

=9.8(1−640000017696)

=9.8(1−0.00276)

9.8×0.99724

=9.773m/s2

Thus, the acceleration due to gravity on the top of Mount Everest is =9.773m/s2

Hope it helped!!!
