The gravitational force of a star on an orbiting planet 1 is f1. planet 2, which is three times as massive as planet 1 and orbit

Margaret [11]

Let us consider two bodies having masses m and m' respectively.

Let they are separated by a distance of r from each other.

As per the Newtons law of gravitation ,the gravitational force between two bodies is given as - $F = G\frac{mm'}{r^{2} }$ where G is the gravitational force constant.

From the above we see that F ∝ mm' and $F\alpha \frac{1}{r^{2} }$

Let the orbital radius of planet A is $r_{1}$ = r and mass of planet is $m_{1}$ .

Let the mass of central star is m .

Hence the gravitational force for planet A is $f_{1} =G \frac{m_{1}*m }{r^{2} }$

For planet B the orbital radius $r_{2} =2r_{1}$ and mass $m_{2} = 3 m_{1}$

Hence the gravitational force $f_{2} =G\frac{m m_{2} }{r^{2} }$

$f_{2} =G\frac{m*3m_{1} }{[2r_{1}] ^{2} }$

$= \frac{3}{4} G\frac{mm_{1} }{r_{1} ^{2} }$

Hence the ratio is $\frac{f_{2} }{f_{1} } = \frac{\frac{3}{4}G mm_{1/r_{1} ^2} }{Gmm_{1}/r_{1} ^2 }$

$=\frac{3}{4}$ [ ans]

What has been gravity's apparent role in our solar system so far? Focus on the formation of planets, individual orbits, alignmen

masya89 [10]

Gravity is one of the significant forces of the universe. It is the force that draws other objects closer to the center of another object. The bigger the object, the higher its force of gravity and nearby objects are accelerated towards the big mass.

It is this force of gravity that keeps the planets in the solar system orbiting around the sun. The suns gravitational pull is stronger than those of the planets hence pulls the planets on their orbits around the star. Gravity also played a part in the formation of the planets. Gravity caused the condensation of dust and rocks into a mass that continually attracted more matter as it gained mass (due to gaining more associated gravitational pull).

A sphere of uniform density with mass 21 kg and radius 0.8 m is spinning, making one complete revolution every 0.8 s. the center

kompoz [17]

Using the equation;
TE = 1/2mv^2(1+2); where k = 2/5 for a solid sphere; V is the velocity, and m is the mass.
Total energy = 0.5 × 21 × 8² (7/5)
= 940.8 J
The rotational kinetic energy of the sphere is 940.8 J
