A planet exerts a gravitational force of magnitude 9e22 N on a star. If the planet were 2 times closer to the star (that is, if

the distance between the star and the planet were 1/2 what is is now), what would be the magnitude of the force on the star due to the planet?

To solve this problem we will use the related concepts in Newtonian laws that describe the force of gravitational attraction. We will use the given value and then we will obtain the proportion of the new force depending on the Radius. From there we will observe how much the force of attraction increases in the new distance.

Planet gravitational force

F_p = 6*10^{22}N

F_p = \frac{GMm}{R^2}

F_p = 9*10^{22}N

Distance between planet and star

r = \frac{R}{2}

Gravitational force is

F = \frac{GMm}{r^2}

Applying the new distance,

F = \frac{GMm}{(\frac{R}{2})^2}

F =  4\frac{GMm}{R^2}

Replacing with the previous force,

F = 4F_p

Replacing our values

F= 4(9*10^{22}N)

F = 36*10^{22}N

Therefore the magnitude of the force on the star due to the planet is  36*10^{22}N

A loader sack of total mass
vampirchik [111]

Question: A loader sack of total mass

is l000 grams falls down from

the floor of a lorry 200 cm high

Calculate the workdone by the

gravity of the load.​

Answer:

19.6 Joules

Explanation:

Applying

W = mgh........................ Equation 1

Where W = Workdone by gravity on the load, m = mass of the loader sack, h = height, g = acceleration due to gravity

From the question,

Given: m = 1000 grams = (1000/1000) kilogram = 1 kg, h = 200 cm = 2 m

Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 1

W = (1×2×9.8)

W = 19.6 Joules

Hence the work done by gravity on the load is 19.6 Joules

A jet is circling an airport control tower at a distance of 20.6 km. An observer in the tower watches the jet cross in front of
lesya [120]

Answer:

197.76 m

Explanation:

r = Radius of the path = 20.6 km = 20.6\times 10^3\ m

\theta = The angle subtended by moon = 9.6\times 10^{-3}\ rad

Distance traveled is given by

s=r\times\theta

\Rightarrow s=20.6\times 10^3\times 9.6\times 10^{-3}

\Rightarrow s=197.76\ m

The distance traveled by the jet is 197.76 m
