A point particle of mass m1 = 2.00 kg is at the origin and a second point particle of mass m2 = 6.00 kg is on the x axis at x =

8.0 m. Find the gravitational field at the following locations.a. x = 2.0m b. x = 12.0 m c. Find the point on the x axis for which g = 0.

Answer:

Ok, the gravitational field in the x-axis can be written as:

g(x) = G*∑mₙ/(xₙ - x)

where the field points in the positive x-axis

where mₙ is the mass of the n-th particle, and xₙ is the position of the n-th particle, then, in our case we have:

g(x) = G*(- 2kg/x + 6kg(8m -x))

then; g(2)  = G*( -2kg/2m + 6kg/(8m- 2m)) = G*( -1kg/m + 1kg/m) = 0

g(12) = G*( -(2/12)kg/m  +6/(8 - 12)kg/m) = G* (-2/12 kg/m - 6/4kg/m) = -G*(20/12)kg/m

and we already find that the point where g(x) = 0 is 2

this is the x such:

G*(- 2kg/x + 6kg(8m -x)) = 0

then, the thing inside the parentheses must be zero, now we have:

2kg/x = 6kg(8m -x)

then:

x/2kg = (8/6) m/kg - x/(6kg)

x (1/(2kg) + 1/(6kg)) = (8/6)m/kg

x*(4/(6kg)) = (8/6)m/kg

x = (8/6)*(6/4)m = 2m

Why do we need to square the period for pendulum experiment? How it is related to obtaining gram ?
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

The period of a pendulum does not depend on the mass of the ball, but only on the length of the string. Two pendula with different masses but the same length will have the same period. Two pendula with different lengths will different periods; the pendulum with the longer string will have the longer period.

telo118 [61]

Explanation:

The tangential speed of Andrea is given by :

v=r\omega

Where

r is radius of the circular path

ω is angular speed

The merry-go-round is rotating at a constant angular speed. Let the new distance from the center of the circular platform is r'

r' = 2r

New angular speed,

v'=r'\omega'\\\\v'=(2r)\omega\\\\v'=2r\omega\\\\v'=2v

New angular speed is twice that of the Chuck's speed.
