Sphere A with mass 80 kg is located at the origin of an xy coordinate system; sphere B with mass 60 kg is located at coordinates

(0.25 m, 0); sphere C with mass 0.20 kg is located in the first quadrant 0.20 m from A and 0.15 m from B. In unit-vector notation, what is the gravitational force on C due to A and B?

Answer:

Fc = [ - 4.45 * 10^-8 j ] N  

Explanation:

Given:-

- The masses and the position coordinates from ( 0 , 0 ) are:

       Sphere A : ma = 80 kg , ( 0 , 0 )

       Sphere B : ma = 60 kg , ( 0.25 , 0 )

       Sphere C : ma = 0.2 kg , ra = 0.2 m , rb = 0.15

- The gravitational constant G = 6.674×10−11 m3⋅kg−1⋅s−2

Find:-

what is the gravitational force on C due to A and B?

Solution:-

- The gravitational force between spheres is given by:

                       F = G*m1*m2 / r^2

Where, r : The distance between two bodies (sphere).

- The vector (rac and rbc) denote the position of sphere C from spheres A and B:-

 Determine the angle (α) between vectors rac and rab using cosine rule:

                   cos ( \alpha ) = \frac{rab^2 + rac^2 - rbc^2}{2*rab*rac} \\\\cos ( \alpha ) = \frac{0.25^2 + 0.2^2 - 0.15^2}{2*0.25*0.2}\\\\cos ( \alpha ) = 0.8\\\\\alpha = 36.87^{\circ \:}

 Determine the angle (β) between vectors rbc and rab using cosine rule:

                   cos ( \beta  ) = \frac{rab^2 + rbc^2 - rac^2}{2*rab*rbc} \\\\cos ( \beta  ) = \frac{0.25^2 + 0.15^2 - 0.2^2}{2*0.25*0.15}\\\\cos ( \beta  ) = 0.6\\\\\beta  = 53.13^{\circ \:}

- Now determine the scalar gravitational forces due to sphere A and B on C:

       Between sphere A and C:

                  Fac = G*ma*mc / rac^2

                  Fac = (6.674×10−11)*80*0.2 / 0.2^2  

                  Fac = 2.67*10^-8 N

                  vector Fac = Fac* [ - cos (α) i + - sin (α) j ]

                  vector Fac = 2.67*10^-8* [ - cos (36.87°) i + -sin (36.87°) j ]

                  vector Fac = [ - 2.136 i - 1.602 j ]*10^-8 N

       Between sphere B and C:

                  Fbc = G*mb*mc / rbc^2

                  Fbc = (6.674×10−11)*60*0.2 / 0.15^2  

                  Fbc = 3.56*10^-8 N

                  vector Fbc = Fbc* [ cos (β) i - sin (β) j ]

                  vector Fbc = 3.56*10^-8* [ cos (53.13°) i - sin (53.13°) j ]

                  vector Fbc = [ 2.136 i - 2.848 j ]*10^-8 N

- The Net gravitational force can now be determined from vector additon of Fac and Fbc:

                  Fc = vector Fac + vector Fbc

                  Fc = [ - 2.136 i - 1.602 j ]*10^-8  + [ 2.136 i - 2.848 j ]*10^-8

                  Fc = [ - 4.45 * 10^-8 j ] N

A 7.3 cm diameter loop of wire is initially oriented so that its plane is perpendicular to a magnetic field of 0.61 T pointing u
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

induced emf =  28.65 mV

Explanation:

given data

diameter = 7.3 cm

magnetic field = 0.61

time period = 0.13 s

to find out

magnitude of the induced emf

solution

we know radius is diameter / 2

radius = 7.3 / 2

radius = 3.65 m

so induced emf is dπ/dt  = Adb/dt

induced emf =  A × ΔB / Δt

induced emf =  πr² × ΔB / Δt

induced emf =  π (0..65)² × ( 0.61 - (-0.28))  / 0.13

induced emf =  0.0286538 V

so induced emf =  28.65 mV

Lina20 [59]
The mass number of an isotope is the sum of the numbers of protons and the numbers of the neutron. Given that the mass number is 65 and the number of neutrons is 35, the number of protons is 30. The atom is then Zinc (Zn). The charge is equal to +2, as it lacks 2 more electrons.
