☄ Universal Gravitational Constant(G)

Gravitational constant is a constant of proportionality when F(Gravitational force) is proportional to product of masses and inversely proportional to the distance between them.

It can be defined as:- Universal gravitational constant is the magnitude of the force between a pair of 1 kg masses that are kept 1 metre apart.
The SI unit of G is N m²/kg² and the CGS unit of G is Dyne cm² / g².

The value of G (universal gravitational constant) was found out by the scientist Henry Cavendish by using the sensitive torsion balance $.$

Answer:

Here is the answer. Hope this helps you!

Explanation:

Now, from Universal law of gravitation, we come to know that:

F= force of attraction

M = the object with greater mass (taken from centre of the objects)

m = object with smaller mass (taken from centre of the objects)

d = distance (taken from centre of the objects)

F ∝ Mm

F ∝ 1/d²

Therefore, we get the formula

F ∝ Mm/d²

F = GMm/d²

Here, G is the constant of proportionality. It also accepted as the Universal gravitation constant. It has a value of 6.67*10^-11 Nm^2/kg^2.

The universal gravitation constant has allowed us to use the above formula to help us calculate and come to know about

the force that binds us to the earth
the motion of moon around the earth
the motion of planets around the sun
the tides on earth caused by the moon and the sun.

A particle undergoes two displacements. The first has a magnitude of 11 m and makes an angle of 82 ◦ with the positive x axis. T

Luden [163]

Answer:

$\theta = 211.7 degree$

Explanation:

First displacement of the particle is given as

$r_1$ = 11 m at 82 degree with positive X axis

so we can say

$\vec r_1 = 11 cos82 \hat i + 11 sin82 \hat j$

$\vec r_1 = 1.53\hat i + 10.9 \hat j$

resultant displacement of the particle after second displacement is given as

r = 8.7 m at 135 degree with positive X axis

so we can say

$r = 8.7 cos135\hat i + 8.7 sin135\hat j$

$r = -6.15 \hat i + 6.15 \hat j$

now we know that

$r = r_1 + r_2$

now we have

$r_2 = r - r_1$

so we will have

$r_2 = (-6.15 \hat i + 6.15 \hat j) - (1.53\hat i + 10.9 \hat j)$

$r_2 = -7.68 \hat i - 4.75 \hat j$

so angle of the second displacement is given as

$tan\theta = \frac{r_y}{r_x}$

$tan\theta = \frac{-4.75}{-7.68}$

$\theta = 211.7 degree$

Goal posts at the ends of football fields are padded as a safety measure for players who might run into them. How does thick pad

dimaraw [331]

When looking at it from a physics standpoint, the thick padding decreases the amount of force that a player experiences. Force equals mass times acceleration where acceleration is distance over time. The thick padding increases the amount of time the player makes contact with the post which decreases force.
