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,

$F'=\frac{G(m₁/8)(m₂/8)}{r^{2} }$

$F' = F/64$

Like the filters falling through the air, a car on the freeway represents an object with a high Reynolds number traveling throug

Goshia [24]

Answer:

ΔF=125.22 %

Explanation:

We know that drag force on the car given as

$F_D=\dfrac{1}{2}\rho C_DA v^2$

$C_D$ =Drag coefficient

A=Projected area

v=Velocity

ρ=Density

All other quantity are constant so we can say that drag force and velocity can be given as

$\dfrac{F_D_1}{F_D_2}=\dfrac{v_1^2}{v_2^2}$

Now by putting the values

$\dfrac{F_D_1}{F_D_2}=\dfrac{v_1^2}{v_2^2}$

$\dfrac{F_D_1}{F_D_2}=\dfrac{50^2}{75^2}$

$\dfrac{F_D_1}{F_D_2}=0.444$

Percentage Change in the drag force

$\Delta F=\dfrac{F_D_2-F_D_1}{F_D_1}\times 100$

$\Delta F=\dfrac{F_D_2-0.444F_D_2}{0.444F_D_2}\times 100$

$\Delta F=\dfrac{1-0.444}{0.444}\times 100$

ΔF=125.22 %

Therefore force will increase by 125.22 %.

Two factor that affect gravitational force

Gnoma [55]

When dealing with the force of gravity between two objects, there are only two things that are important – mass, and distance. The force of gravity depends directly upon the masses of the two objects, and inversely on the square of the distance between them.

In 2000, NASA placed a satellite in orbit around an asteroid. Consider a spherical asteroid with a mass of 1.40×1016 kg and a ra

Arturiano [62]

A) 8.11 m/s

For a satellite orbiting around an asteroid, the centripetal force is provided by the gravitational attraction between the satellite and the asteroid:

$m\frac{v^2}{(R+h)}=\frac{GMm}{(R+h)^2}$

where

m is the satellite's mass

v is the speed

R is the radius of the asteroide

h is the altitude of the satellite

G is the gravitational constant

M is the mass of the asteroid

Solving the equation for v, we find

$v=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{R+h}}$

where:

$G=6.67\cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1}s^{-2}$

$M=1.40\cdot 10^{16}kg$

$R=8.20 km=8200 m$

$h=6.00 km = 6000 m$

Substituting into the formula,

$v=\sqrt{\frac{(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})(1.40\cdot 10^{16}kg)}{8200 m+6000 m}}=8.11 m/s$

B) 11.47 m/s

The escape speed of an object from the surface of a planet/asteroid is given by

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R+h}}$

where:

$G=6.67\cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1}s^{-2}$

$M=1.40\cdot 10^{16}kg$

$R=8.20 km=8200 m$

$h=6.00 km = 6000 m$

Substituting into the formula, we find:

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})(1.40\cdot 10^{16}kg)}{8200 m+6000 m}}=11.47 m/s$
