Answer:

Explanation:

I think these are the answers

1) True: The gravitational force between two objects depend on their masses and distance.

2) True: The gravitational force between objects is always attractive, meaning the force vectors will always point towards each other. (think Newton's 3rd law)

3)True: There will always be some sort of gravitional attraction between objects although it would be close to 0 for small objects.

4)False: the force applied on each object are equal (remember: Newton's 3rd law).

5)False: The further the satellite is from the surface of a planet, the weaker the gravitional force is between them. The force is a max at the surface of the planet.

6)False:(same as 5's explaination)

At one instant a bicyclist is 21.0 m due east of a park's flagpole, going due south with a speed of 13.0 m/s. Then 21.0 s later,

andre [41]

Answer:

Part a)

$d = 21\sqrt2 = 29.7 m$

Part b)

Direction is 45 degree North of West

Part c)

$v_{avg} = 1.41 m/s$

Part d)

direction of velocity will be 45 Degree North of West

Part e)

$a = 0.875 m/s^2$

Part f)

$\theta = 45 degree$ North of East

Explanation:

Initial position of the cyclist is given as

$r_1 = 21.0 m$ due East

final position of the cyclist after t = 21.0 s

$r_2 = 21.0 m$ due North

Part a)

for displacement we can find the change in the position of the cyclist

so we have

$d = r_2 - r_1$

$d = 21\hat j - 21\hat i$

so magnitude of the displacement is given as

$d = 21\sqrt2 = 29.7 m$

Part b)

direction of the displacement is given as

$\theta = tan^{-1}\frac{y}{x}$

$\theta = tan^{-1}\frac{21}{-21}$

so it is 45 degree North of West

Part c)

For average velocity we know that it is defined as the ratio of displacement and time

so here the magnitude of average velocity is defined as

$v_{avg} = \frac{\Delta x}{t}$

$v_{avg} = \frac{29.7}{21}$

$v_{avg} = 1.41 m/s$

Part d)

As we know that average velocity direction is always same as that of average displacement direction

so here direction of displacement will be 45 Degree North of West

Part e)

Here we also know that initial velocity of the cyclist is 13 m/s due South while after t = 21 s its velocity is 13 m/s due East

So we have

change in velocity of the cyclist is given as

$\Delta v = v_f - v_i$

$\Delta v = 13\hat i - (-13\hat j)$

now average acceleration is given as

$a = \frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}$

$a = \frac{13\hat i + 13\hat j}{21}$

so the magnitude of acceleration is given as

$a = \frac{13\sqrt2}{21} = 0.875 m/s^2$

Part f)

direction of acceleration is given as

$\theta = tan^{-1}\frac{y}{x}$

$\theta = tan^{-1}\frac{13}{13}$

$\theta = 45 degree$ North of East

How do I find work and time?

Arisa [49]

Work from Days:If A can do a piece of work in n days, then A's 1 day's work = $\frac{1}{n}$ Days from Work:If A's 1 day's work = $\frac{1}{n}$ ,then A can finish the work in n daysRatio:If A is thrice as good a workman as B, then:Ratio of work done by A and B = 3 : 1.Ratio of times taken by A and B to finish a work = 1 : 3.
