Answer:

System D --> System C --> System A --> System B

Explanation:

The gravitational force between two masses m1, m2 separated by a distance r is given by:

F=G \frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}

where G is the gravitational constant. Let's apply this formula to each case now to calculate the relative force for each system:

System A has masses m and m separated by a distance r:

F=G\frac{m \cdot m}{r^2}=G \frac{m^2}{r^2}

system B has masses m and 2m separated by a distance 2r:

F=G\frac{m \cdot 2m}{(2r)^2}=G \frac{2m^2}{4r^2}=\frac{1}{2} G \frac{m^2}{r^2}

system C has masses 2m and 3m separated by a distance 2r:

F=G\frac{2m \cdot 3m}{(2r)^2}=G \frac{6m^2}{4r^2}=\frac{3}{2} G \frac{m^2}{r^2}

system D has masses 4m and 5m separated by a distance 3r:

F=G\frac{4m \cdot 5m}{(3r)^2}=G \frac{20m^2}{9r^2}=\frac{20}{9} G \frac{m^2}{r^2}

Now, by looking at the 4 different forces, we can rank them from the greatest to the smallest force, and we find:

System D --> System C --> System A --> System B

A thin Nichrome wire connected to an ammeter surrounds a region of time-varying magnetic flux, and the ammeter reads 13 amperes.
Semenov [28]

Answer:

The current would be same in both situation.

Explanation:

Given that,

Current I = 13 A

Number of turns = 23

We need to calculate the induced emf

Using formula of induced emf is

\epsilon=NA\dfrac{dB}{dt}

For N = 1

\epsilon=A\dfrac{dB}{dt}

We need to calculate the current

Using formula of current

i=\dfrac{\epsilon}{R}

Put the value of emf

i=\dfrac{A\dfrac{dB}{dt}}{R}

Now, if the number of turn is 22 , then induced emf would be

\epsilon'=NA\dfrac{dB}{dt}

Then the current would be

i'=\dfrac{\epsilon'}{NR}

i'=\dfrac{NA\dfrac{dB}{dt}}{NR}

i'=\dfrac{A\dfrac{dB}{dt}}{R}

i'=i

Hence, The current would be same in both situation.

A toy plane is flying in a horizontal circle by being attached to a 0.75 meter string. The plane has a mass of 101.7 grams and m
nadezda [96]

Answer:

F = 2,894 N

Explanation:

For this exercise let's use Newton's second law

      F = m a

The acceleration is centripetal

     a = v² / r

Angular and linear variables are related.

     v = w r

Let's replace

     F = m w² r

The radius r and the length of the rope is related

    cos is = r / L

    r = L cos tea

Let's replace

    F = m w² L cos θ

Let's reduce the magnitudes to the SI system

     m = 101.7 g (1 kg / 1000g) = 0.1017 kg

      θ = 5 rev (2π rad / rev) = 31,416 rad

     w =  θ / t

     w = 31.416 / 5.1

     w = 6.16 rad / s

     F = 0.1017 6.16² 0.75 cos  θ

     F = 2,894 cos  θ

The maximum value of F is for  θ equal to zero

     F = 2,894 N

Two identical asteroids travel side by side while touching one another. If the asteroids are composed of homogeneous pure iron a
victus00 [196]

Answer:

diameter = 21.81 ft

Explanation:

The gravitational force equation is:

  1. F=\frac{GMm}{R^{2} }

Where:

  • F => Gravitational force or force of attraction between two masses
  • M => Mass of asteroid 1
  • m => Mass of asteroid 2
  • R => Distance between asteroids 1 and 2 (from center of gravity)

We also know that the asteroids are identical so their masses are identical:

  • M=m

Since R is the distance between centers of the two asteroids and their diameters are identical (see attachment), we can conclude that:

  • R=d=2r

We don´t know the mass of the asteroids but we know they are composed of pure iron, so we can relate their masses to their density:

  • m=ρV

This is going to be helpful because the volume of a sphere is:

  • \frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}

And know we can write our original force of gravity equation in terms of the radius of the asteroids:

  • F=\frac{GMm}{R^{2} } =\frac{Gmm}{(2r)^{2} } =\frac{Gm^{2} }{4r^{2} }
  • F=\frac{G ( \frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}ρ)^{2} }{4r^{2} }
  • F= \frac{G(16)\pi ^{2} r^{6} ρ^{2}}{(9)(4)r^{2} } =\frac{G(16)\pi ^{2} r^{4}ρ^{2}  }{36}

Now let´s plug in the values we know:

  1. F = 1 lb     mutual gravitational attraction force
  2. G = 6.67(10)^{-11}     gravitational constant
  3. ρ_{iron} =491.5 \frac{lb}{ft^{3} }

  • 1= \frac{6.67(10)^{-11} \pi ^{2} r^{4} (491.5)^{2}}{36}

Solve for r and multiply by 2 because 2r = diameter

  • d=2\sqrt[4]{\frac{1}{7.07(10)^{-5} } }

Result is d = 21.81 Feet

What will happen to the 0.1 N force if one charges is increased by a factor of 3?
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

Force between two charges is given by the following expression

F = \frac{KQ_1Q_2}{d^2}  Q₁ and Q₂ are two charges and d is distance between two.

.1 = \frac{KQ_1Q_2}{d^2}

If Q₁ becomes three times , force will become 3 times . Hence force becomes .3 N in the first case.

Force F = .3 N

If charge becomes one fourth , force also becomes one fourth .

F= \frac{.1}{4}

= .025 N.
