23. Two spheres, with radii of R, are in contact with each other and attract each other with a force of F. If the radii of both

of the spheres are cut to half while the density remains the same, what is the new gravitational force between them?

Answer:

Drop by a factor of 64

Explanation:

By Newtons law of gravity,

$F=\frac{Gm₁m₂}{r^{2} }$ where;

G = Universal gravitaional constant

r = distance between center of gravities of two objects

m₁,m₂ = masses of thee objects.

F = Gravitational force.

m = $\frac{4}{3}π r³ρ$ (mass = volume into density.

So when radius is halved, mass drops by a factor of 8,

m' = $\frac{4}{3}π (r/2)³ρ$

= $\frac{1}{6}π r³ρ$

So in substitution to the equation,

$F'=\frac{G(m₁/8)(m₂/8)}{r^{2} }$

$F' = F/64$

Three cars (car F, car G, and car H) are moving with the same speed and slam on their brakes. The most massive car is car F, and

Crazy boy [7]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Normal Force, frictional force, kinematic equations of motion and Newton's second law.

From the kinematic equations of motion we know that the relationship of acceleration, velocity and distance is given by

$v_f^2=v_i^2+2ax$

Where,

$v_f =$ Final velocity

$v_i =$ Initial Velocity

a = Acceleration

x = Displacement

Acceleration can be expressed in terms of the drag coefficient by means of

$F_f = \mu_k (mg) \rightarrow$ Frictional Force

$F = ma \rightarrow$ Force by Newton's second Law

Where,

m = mass

a= acceleration

$\mu_k =$ Kinetic frictional coefficient

g = Gravity

Equating both equation we have that

$F_f = F$

$\mu_k mg=ma$

$a = \mu_k g$

Therefore,

$v_f^2=v_i^2+2ax$

$0=v_i^2+2(\mu_k g)x$

Re-arrange to find x,

$x = \frac{v_i^2}{2(-\mu_k g)}$

The distance traveled by the car depends on the coefficient of kinetic friction, acceleration due to gravity and initial velocity, therefore the three cars will stop at the same distance.

What is a smash shot?<br> (BADMINTON)

zaharov [31]

The smash shot in badminton is considered one of the most powerful kind of shot that can tilt the score in your favour. This shot can only be excited when the shuttle is high in the air. The reason behind that is because from a high elevation point, the shuttle is smashed downward over the net into the opponent's court. There is almost no defence against such a shot because it is slammed so quickly and is at such a downward angle that it is difficult for the opponent to receive it.

Two satellites are in circular orbits around the earth. The orbit for satellite A is at a height of 403 km above the earth’s sur

BARSIC [14]

Answer:

$v_A=7667m/s\\\\v_B=7487m/s$

Explanation:

The gravitational force exerted on the satellites is given by the Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation:

$F_g=\frac{GMm}{R^{2} }$

Where M is the mass of the earth, m is the mass of a satellite, R the radius of its orbit and G is the gravitational constant.

Also, we know that the centripetal force of an object describing a circular motion is given by:

$F_c=m\frac{v^{2}}{R}$

Where m is the mass of the object, v is its speed and R is its distance to the center of the circle.

Then, since the gravitational force is the centripetal force in this case, we can equalize the two expressions and solve for v:

$\frac{GMm}{R^2}=m\frac{v^2}{R}\\ \\\implies v=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{R}}$

Finally, we plug in the values for G (6.67*10^-11Nm^2/kg^2), M (5.97*10^24kg) and R for each satellite. Take in account that R is the radius of the orbit, not the distance to the planet's surface. So $R_A=6774km=6.774*10^6m$ and $R_B=7103km=7.103*10^6m$ (Since $R_{earth}=6371km$ ). Then, we get:

$v_A=\sqrt{\frac{(6.67*10^{-11}Nm^2/kg^2)(5.97*10^{24}kg)}{6.774*10^6m} }=7667m/s\\\\v_B=\sqrt{\frac{(6.67*10^{-11}Nm^2/kg^2)(5.97*10^{24}kg)}{7.103*10^6m} }=7487m/s$

In words, the orbital speed for satellite A is 7667m/s (a) and for satellite B is 7487m/s (b).
