Two ships of equal mass are 110 m apart. What is the acceleration of either ship due to the gravitational attraction of the othe

dusya [7]

Answer:

Acceleration of the ship, $a=2.14\times 10^{-7}\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of both ships, $m=39000\ metric\ tons=39\times 10^6\ kg$

Distance between two ships, d = 110 m

The gravitational force between two ships is given by :

$F=G\dfrac{m^2}{d^2}$

$F=6.67\times 10^{-11}\ Nm^2/kg^2\times \dfrac{(39\times 10^6\ kg)^2}{(110\ m)^2}$

F = 8.38 N

Let a is the acceleration. Now, using second law of motion as :

$a=\dfrac{F}{m}$

$a=\dfrac{8.38\ N}{39\times 10^6\ kg}$

$a=2.14\times 10^{-7}\ m/s^2$

So, the acceleration of either ship due to the gravitational attraction of the other is $2.14\times 10^{-7}\ m/s^2$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

Suppose you illuminate two thin slits by monochromatic coherent light in air and find that they produce their first interference

strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

1.7323

Explanation:

To develop this problem, it is necessary to apply the concepts related to refractive indices and Snell's law.

From the data given we have to:

$n_{air}=1$

$\theta_{liquid} = 19.38\°$

$\theta_{air}35.09\°$

Where n means the index of refraction.

We need to calculate the index of refraction of the liquid, then applying Snell's law we have:

$n_1sin\theta_1 = n_2sin\theta_2$

$n_{air}sin\theta_{air} = n_{liquid}sin\theta_{liquid}$

$n_{liquid} = \frac{n_{air}sin\theta_{air}}{sin\theta_{liquid}}$

Replacing the values we have:

$n_{liquid}=\frac{(1)sin(35.09)}{sin(19.38)}$

$n_liquid = 1.7323$

Therefore the refractive index for the liquid is 1.7323

In a horse cart system when would there be the smallest amount of acceleration

Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

well... when the horse stops/rests, or if it is blocked by a surface or anything of solid background.

Explanation:

If it is going up a hill or slope and it just starts to move that would also be considered the smallest amount of acceleration this can go for many things when it just starts to move. but I would go for when it rests amounting to your fitting of the question.
