Answer:

F-ma

Explanation:

If you are speaking of objects like satellites, etc. then their mass is much less than that of the Earth. A good approximation is Newton's first law of motion:

Force = Mass × Acceleration

often written:

F = m a

The gravitational force is the same between the Earth and the object - only the mass differs. So the acceleration is inversely proportional to the mass.

Two astronauts (each with mass 100 kg) are drifting together through space. They are connected to each other by a rope 5 m in le

Nana76 [90]

Answer:

1000 kgm²/s, 400 J

1000 kgm²/s, 1000 J

600 J

Explanation:

m = Mass of astronauts = 100 kg

d = Diameter

r = Radius = $\frac{d}{2}$

v = Velocity of astronauts = 2 m/s

Angular momentum of the system is given by

$L=mvr+mvr\\\Rightarrow L=2mvr\\\Rightarrow L=2\times 100\times 2\times 2.5\\\Rightarrow L=1000\ kgm^2/s$

The angular momentum of the system is 1000 kgm²/s

Rotational energy is given by

$K=I\omega^2\\\Rightarrow K=\frac{1}{2}(mr^2)\left(\frac{v}{r}\right)^2\\\Rightarrow K=mv^2\\\Rightarrow K=100\times 2^2\\\Rightarrow K=400\ J$

The rotational energy of the system is 400 J

There no external toque present so the initial and final angular momentum will be equal to the initial angular momentum 1000 kgm²/s

$L_i=L_f\\\Rightarrow 2mv_ir_i=2mv_fr_f\\\Rightarrow v_f=\frac{v_ir_i}{r_f}\\\Rightarrow v_f=\frac{2\times 2.5}{0.5}\\\Rightarrow v_f=10\ m/s$

Energy

$E_2=mv_f^2\\\Rightarrow E_2=100\times 10\\\Rightarrow E_2=1000\ J$

The new energy will be 1000 J

Work done will be the change in the kinetic energy

$W=E_2-E\\\Rightarrow W=1000-400\\\Rightarrow W=600\ J$

The work done is 600 J

PROJECTILE MOTION-Why isn't there any accelertion in the x direction while there is an acceleration of -g in the y direction? ..

Ahat [919]

There is no acceleration of g in the x direction because the gravitational acceleration points downward. Also, on most studies we ignore the tidal forces since we are dealing with small bodies compared to the size of the earth.

Why would north america will not be able to view the eclipse

Flauer [41]

The North America will not be able to view the eclipse because of its location on the earth caused by the tilting of the earth.

<h3>Effect of tilting of the Earth</h3>

The tilt of the Earth is what causes seasons to occur. These are the seasons in relation to the Northern Hemisphere.

The tilting of the Earth causes the difference in the amount of sun reaching each region of the earth like in the North America continent.

Thus, the North America will not be able to view the eclipse because of its location on the earth caused by the tilting of the earth.
