Isaac Newton compared the acceleration of the moon to the acceleration of objects on earth. Believing that gravitational forces were responsible for each, Newton was able to draw an important conclusion about the dependence of gravity upon distance. This comparison led him to conclude that the force of gravitational attraction between the Earth and other objects is inversely proportional to the distance separating the earth's center from the object's center. But distance is not the only variable affecting the magnitude of a gravitational force. Consider Newton's famous equation

Fnet = m • a

Newton knew that the force that caused the apple's acceleration (gravity) must be dependent upon the mass of the apple. And since the force acting to cause the apple's downward acceleration also causes the earth's upward acceleration (Newton's third law), that force must also depend upon the mass of the earth. So for Newton, the force of gravity acting between the earth and any other object is directly proportional to the mass of the earth, directly proportional to the mass of the object, and inversely proportional to the square of the distance that separates the centers of the earth and the object.

In 8.4 s a fisherman winds 2.9 m of fishing line onto a reel whose radius is 3.0 cm (assumed to be constant as an approximation)
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

The angular speed of the reel is 11.33 rad/s

Explanation:

Given

The fisherman takes t = 8.4 s to wind distance x = 2.9 m into a circle radius of r = 3 cm = 0.03 m

Than the tangencial speed equals the change in the distance to the time

v = \frac{x}{t} = \frac{2.9 m}{8.4 s} = 0.34 \frac{m}{s}

Knowing the tangencial velocity is proportional to the radius r and the angular velocity

v = r*w

w = \frac{0.34 m/s}{0.03 m} = 11.33 \frac{rad}{s}

A force of 30 N is exerted on an object on a frictionless surface for a distance of 6.0 meters. If the object has a mass of 10 k
tangare [24]

Answer:The velocity of the object will be 5\sqrt7m/s or 13.23m/s

Explanation:

force exerted by the object= 30N

distance displayed by the object by the action of force=6.0m

mass of object=10kg

velocity gained by the object=?

\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}= forcexdisplacement\\\frac{1}{2}10v^{2} = 30x6\\ 5v^{2}=180\\ v^{2}= 180-5\\ v^{2} =175\\v=\sqrt{175} \\v=5\sqrt{7} or 13.23
