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))

How much work is done? A Net Force of 9.0 N acts through a distance of 3.0 m in a time of 3.0 s. The answers are 3.0 J, 9.0 J, 2
Vadim26 [7]
If the force and the motion are along the same direction (like it is here) then work is force*distance.  The time doesn't come into play until you want the power used.  So here
W=9.0*3.0=27J

In which space, outdoors or in your classroom, would it be easier to hear a musician? Explain
bixtya [17]

Answer:

It is easier to hear a musician in the classroom than outdoors

Explanation:

It is easier to hear a musician in the classroom due to the improved acoustics provided by the walls of the classroom whereby along with the direct sound of the musician, which is the lead source of the sounds, there is an increased number of indirect sound reaching the ear in the classroom than outdoors and due to precedence effect, all the sound appear to come from the musician

In music played outside, along side the direct sound from the musician, the indirect sound that reach the ear is echoed from maybe by only the ground while the majority of the sound from the music wanders away with the wind and in other directions as well as being absorbed such that speakers will be required to improve the sound of the music outdoors.
