Force of gravity = 'G' (mass₁)(mass₂) / (distance)²

'G' is the gravitational constant for SI units =  6.67 x10⁻¹¹ newton-meter²/kg²

You said that the force is          <u>2.99 x 10⁻¹⁰</u> = (6.67x10⁻¹¹) (4) (7) / D²

Multiply each side by D² :    2.99 x 10⁻¹⁰ D²  =  (6.67x10⁻¹¹) (28)

Divide each side by  2.99 x 10⁻¹⁰  :          D² = (28) (6.67 x10⁻¹¹) / (2.99 x 10⁻¹⁰)

Take the square root of each side:      D = square root of all that

Stuff it through my calculator:

                               D = square root of  [  (28) (6.67 x10⁻¹¹) / (2.99 x 10⁻¹⁰)  ] =

                                  √ ( 6.2462...) meters²  = 

                                        <em>2.5 meters </em> (rounded)

===================

To get the feel:

-- The book weighs about    8.8  pounds  (big book)
-- The lamp weighs about  15.4  pounds
-- They're about 8.2 feet apart.
-- The strength of the gravitational force
           between them is about                  0.000 000 001 075 of an ounce .

vaieri [72.5K]
Double the amount of people because the ramp went from 10-meter to 20-meter, so times by 2. 4 times 2 is 8.
The answer is 8 people.
Hope this helps!

2) The horizontal and vertical components of the initial velocity of a football are 16 m/s and 20 m/s respectively. How long doe
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer: 2.04 s

Explanation:

Let the initial velocity be v, Angle of projectile be

Then the horizontal component = v cos θ = 16 m/s

Vertical component of velocity = v sin θ = 20 m/s

Time taken to reach the highest point is half the time taken for total flight.

Time for total flight,

t = \frac{2vsin \theta}{g}

t'=\frac{vsin \theta}{g} = \frac {20 m/s}{9.8 m/s^2} = 2.04 s

Thus, the football takes 2.04 s to rise to the highest point of its trajectory.

An object is made of glass and has the shape of a cube 0.13 m on a side, according to an observer at rest relative to it. Howeve
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

v=0.9833\ c

Explanation:

The density changes means that the length in the direction of the motion is changed.

Therefore,

$\text{Density} = \frac{m}{lwh}$

Given :

Side,  b = h = 0.13 m

Mass, m = 3.3 kg

Density = 8100 kg/m^3

So,

$8100=\frac{3.3}{l \times 0.13 \times 0.13}$

$l=\frac{3.3}{8100 \times 0.13 \times 0.13}$

l = 0.024 m

Then for relativistic length contraction,

$l= l' \sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}$

$0.024= 0.13 \sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}$

$0.184=  \sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}$

$0.033=  1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}$

$\frac{v^2}{c^2}= 0.967$

$\frac{v}{c}=0.9833$

v=0.9833\ c

Therefore, the speed of the observer relative to the cube is 0.9833 c (in the units of c).
