The acceleration due to gravity at the north pole of Neptune is approximately 11.2 m/s2. Neptune has mass 1.02×1026 kg and radiu

s 2.46×104 km and rotates once around its axis in a time of about 16 h.
a)What is the gravitational force on a 4.60-kg object at the north pole of Neptune? Express your answer with the appropriate units.
b)What is the apparent weight of this same object at Neptune's equator? (Note that Neptune's "surface" is gaseous, not solid, so it is impossible to stand on it.) Express your answer with the appropriate units.

A rock of mass 200 g is attached to a 0.75 m long string and swung in a vertical plane.
Ainat [17]

Hello!

a) Assuming this is asking for the minimum speed for the rock to make the full circle, we must find the minimum speed necessary for the rock to continue moving in a circular path when it's at the top of the circle.

At the top of the circle, we have:

- Force of gravity (downward)

*Although the rock is still connected to the string, if the rock is swinging at the minimum speed required, there will be no tension in the string.

Therefore, only the force of gravity produces the net centripetal force:

\Sigma F = F_g\\\\F_c = F_g\\\\\frac{mv^2}{r} = mg

We can simplify and rearrange the equation to solve for 'v'.

\frac{v^2}{r} = g\\\\v^2 = gr\\\\v = \sqrt{gr}

Plugging in values:

v = \sqrt{9.8 * 0.75} = \boxed{2.711 m/s^}

b)
Let's do a summation of forces at the bottom of the swing. We have:
- Force due to gravity (downward, -)

- Tension force (upward, +)

The sum of these forces produces a centripetal force, upward (+).

\Sigma F = T - F_g\\\\F_c = T - F_g\\\\\frac{mv^2}{r} = T - mg

Rearranging for 'T":
T =   \frac{mv^2}{r} +  mg\\\\

Plugging in the appropriate values:
T =  \frac{(0.2)(2.711^2)}{(0.75)} + 0.2(9.8) = \boxed{3.92 N}

Two crates, 3kg and 5 kg respectively, are connected with a thin rope.they are pulled up a rough plane which is inclined at 30de
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

F = 85.24 N

T = 30.84 N

Explanation:

The parameters given are

Mass of crates = m₁ = 3 kg and m₂ = 5 kg

Component of masses acting along the plane = mgsin(θ)

Which gives;

F - (3×9.81×sin(30) + 10 + 5×9.81×sin(30) + 17) = m×a

So that we have;

2 = (F - 66.24)(3 + 5)

F = 16 + 66.24 = 85.24 N

The tension T between the crates = F × m₁/(m₁+m₂) = 85.24 × 3/(3+5) = 30.84 N
