Two identical hard spheres, each of mass m and radius r, are released from rest in otherwise empty space with their centers sepa

rated by the distance R. They are allowed to collide under the influence of their gravitational attraction. (a) Find the magnitude of the impulse received by each sphere before they make contact. (b) Find the magnitude of the impulse each receives during their contact if they collide elastically.

Answer:

a)   I = √ (2G m³ (1/2r³ - 1/R)), b) I = √ (8 G m³ (1/2r -1/R))

Explanation:

.a) The relation of the Impulse and the moment is

                    I = Δp = m v_{f} - m v₀

We can use Newton's second law with force the force of universal attraction

                  F = ma

                  G m m / r² = m a

                  dv / dt = G m / r²

Suppose re the direction where the spheres move is x

                 dv/dx  dx/dt = G m / x²

                  dv/dx  v = G m / x²

                  v dv = G m dx / x²

We integrate

                   v² / 2 = Gm (-1 / x)

We evaluate this integra from the lower limit v = 0 for x = R to the upper limit, where the spheres v = v and x = 2r are touched

                  v² / 2-0  = G M (-1 / R + 1 / 2r)

                  v = √ [2Gm (1 /2r - 1/ R) ]

The impulse on the sphere is

                 I = m vf - m v₀

                 I = m vf - 0

                 I = m √ (2Gm (1 / 2r-1 / R)

                 I = √ (2G m³ (1/2r³ - 1/R))

b) during the crash each sphere arrives with a velocity v and leaves with a velocity –v, the same magnitude but opposite direction

                      I = m v_{f}- m v₀

                      I = m v - m (-v)

                      I = 2mv

                      I = 2m √ (2Gm (1 / 2r-1 / R)

                      I = √ (8 G m³ (1/2r -1/R))

Force between two charges  = 

     ( 1/4πε₀ ) · (Charge #1) · (Charge #2) / (Distance between them)²

  in the direction away from each other.

In other words, if the force is positive, the charges are repelling.
If the force is negative, the charges are attracting.

When light shines through atomic hydrogen gas, it is seen that the gas absorbs light readily at a wavelength of 91.63 nm. What i
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

D) 21

Explanation:

When gas absorbs light , electron at lower level jumps to higher level .

and the difference of energy of orbital is equal to energy of radiation absorbed.

Here energy absorbed is equivalent to wavelength of 91.63 nm

In terms of its energy in eV , its energy content is eual to

1243.5 / 91.63 = 13.57 eV. This represents the difference the energy of orbit .

Electron is lying in lowest or first level ie n = 1.

Energy of first level

= - 13.6 / 1² = - 13.6 eV.

Energy of n th level = - 13.6 / n². Let in this level electron has been excited

Difference of energy

= 13.6 - 13.6 / n² = 13.57 ( energy of absorbed radiation)

13.6 / n² = 13.6 - 13.57 = .03

n² = 13.6 / .03 = 453

n = 21 ( approx )

Changes of state
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

At segment T-U, the substance changes from a liquid to a gas and does not change temperature.

The reason is because latent heat of vaporisation allows for the absorption of heat in the change of state and temperature remains constant until it has fully changed state.

An aerobatic airplane pilot experiences weightlessness as she passes over the top of a loop-the-loop maneuver. The acceleration
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

The radius of the loop is  20.66 km

Explanation:

let the radius of the loop be r

mass of airplane is m

At the top, the pilot experiences two radial forces, which are

1) Gravitational force is  mg

2) Centrifugal forces mv²/r out of the center

When the pilot experiences no weight,

then, mg = mv²/r

r = v² / g

 = 450² / 9.8

 = 20.66 x 10³3

 = 20.66 km
