In introductory physics laboratories, a typical Cavendish balance for measuring the gravitational constant G uses lead spheres w

ith masses of 1.40 kg and 14.0 g whose centers are separated by about 2.30 cm. Calculate the gravitational force between these spheres, treating each as a particle located at the center of the sphere.

Answer:

The gravitational force F =2.47*10⁻⁹N

Explanation:

Given Data;

First mass m1 = 1.40kg

Second mass m2 = 14.0g = 14/1000 = 0.014kg

distance (r) = 2.30cm = 0.023m

Gravitational constant = 6.67* 10⁻¹¹N/m²kg²

gravitational force (F)?

For calculating the gravitational force, we use the formula;

F = (Gm₁m₂)/r²

Substituting into the formula, we have

F = (6.67 * 10⁻¹¹ * 1.40 * 0.014)/0.023²

= 1.30732*10⁻¹²/5.29*10⁻⁴

= 2.47*10⁻⁹N

Answer:

F=2.47*10^{-10} N

Explanation:

The gravitational force is calculated by using

$F=G\frac{M_1M_2}{r^2}$

G: Cavendish constant = 6.67*10^{-12}Nm^2/kg^2

r=2.30cm=0.023m

M1=1.4kg

M2=14.0g=0.014kg

By replacing we have

F=2.47*10^{-10} N

hope this helps!!

A positively charged particle 1 is at the origin of a Cartesian coordinate system, and there are no other charged objects nearby

8090 [49]

Answer:

P=(2 nm, 8mn)

Explanation:

Given :

Position of positively charged particle at origin, $O=(0\ nm,0\ nm)$

Position of desired magnetic field, $D\equiv(1\ nm,8\ nm)$

Magnitude of desired magnetic field, $E=0\ N.C^{-1}$

Let q be the positive charge magnitude placed at origin.

<u>We know the distance between the two Cartesian points is given as:</u>

$d=\sqrt{(x_1-x_2)^2+(y_1-y_2)^2}$

<u>For the electric field effect to be zero at point D we need equal and opposite field at the point.</u>

$\frac{1}{4\pi.\epsilon_0} \times \frac{q}{r^2 } =\frac{1}{4\pi.\epsilon_0} \times \frac{q}{r^2 }$

$\therefore (1-0)^2+(8-0)^2=r^2$

$r^2=65\ nm$

$r=\sqrt{65}$

as we know that the electric field lines emerge radially outward of a positive charge so the second charge will be at equally opposite side of the given point.

assuming that the second charge is placed at (x,y) nano-meters.

Therefore,

$x=2\times 1=2\ nm$

and

$y=2\times 8=16\ nm$

Cars A and B are racing each other along the same straight road in the following manner: Car A has a head start and is a distanc

4vir4ik [10]

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.

Cars A nad B are racing each other along the same straight road in the following manner: Car A has a head start and is a distance $D_{A}$ beyond the starting line at t = 0. The starting line is at x = 0. Car A travels at a constant speed $v_{A}$ . Car B starts at the starting line but has a better engine than Car A and thus Car B travels at a constant speed $v_{B}$ , which is greater than $v_{A}$ .

Part A: How long after Car B started the race will Car B catch up with Car A? Express the time in terms of given quantities.

Part B: How far from Car B's starting line will the cars be when Car B passes Car A? Express your answer in terms of known quantities.

Answer: Part A: $t=\frac{D_{A}}{v_{B}-v_{A}}$

Part B: $x_{B}=\frac{v_{B}D_{A}}{v_{B}-v_{A}}$

Explanation: First, let's write an equation of motion for each car.

Both cars travels with constant speed. So, they are an uniform rectilinear motion and its position equation is of the form:

$x=x_{0}+vt$

where

$x_{0}$ is initial position

v is velocity

t is time

Car A started the race at a distance. So at t = 0, initial position is $D_{A}$ .

The equation will be:

$x_{A}=D_{A}+v_{A}t$

Car B started at the starting line. So, its equation is

$x_{B}=v_{B}t$

Part A: When they meet, both car are at "the same position":

$D_{A}+v_{A}t=v_{B}t$

$v_{B}t-v_{A}t=D_{A}$

$t(v_{B}-v_{A})=D_{A}$

$t=\frac{D_{A}}{v_{B}-v_{A}}$

Car B meet with Car A after $t=\frac{D_{A}}{v_{B}-v_{A}}$ units of time.

Part B: With the meeting time, we can determine the position they will be:

$x_{B}=v_{B}(\frac{D_{A}}{v_{B}-v_{A}} )$

$x_{B}=\frac{v_{B}D_{A}}{v_{B}-v_{A}}$

Since Car B started at the starting line, the distance Car B will be when it passes Car A is $x_{B}=\frac{v_{B}D_{A}}{v_{B}-v_{A}}$ units of distance.

a baseball is traveling (=20m/s) and us hit by a bat. it leaves the bat traveling (-30 m/s). What is the change in the velocity?

Tasya [4]

The change in velocity from 30 m/s north to 40 m/s south is a change of 70 m/s south
