according to newton's law of universal gravitation, in which of the following situations does the gravitational attraction betwe

en the bodies always increases.
Physics
1 answer:
Alex17521 [72]3 years ago
4 0

Explanation:

The force acting between two masses is given by :

F=G\dfrac{m_1m_2}{d^2}........(1)

Where

G is the universal gravitational constant

m_1\ and\ m_2 are masses

d is the distance between two masses

It is clear from equation (1) that the gravitational attraction between the bodies always increases if the masses of bodies increases and when the separation between masses decreases.

So, the correct answer is "the masses increase, and the distance between the centers of mass decreases". This is because the force of gravitation is directly proportional to the masses and inversely proportional to the separation.

A spring is characterized by a spring constant of 60 N/m. How much potential energy does it store, when stretched by 1.0 cm?
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

3.0 x10^-3 J

Explanation:

The potential energy of a spring is given by PE = (0.5)k*x^2  

Where

K: Spring Constant = 60 N/m

x: displacement of the spring from its equilibrium position = 1cm = 0.01m

Then PE = 0.5(60)(.01)^2 = 0.003J = 3.0 x10^-3 J

Astronomers have observed a small, massive object at the center of our Milky Way Galaxy. A ring of material orbits this massive
Setler [38]

Answer:

The mass of the massive object at the center of the Milky Way galaxy is 3.44\times10^{37}\ Kg

Explanation:

Given that,

Diameter = 10 light year

Orbital speed = 180 km/s

Suppose determine the mass of the massive object at the center of the Milky Way galaxy.

Take the distance of one light year to be 9.461×10¹⁵ m. I was able to get this it is 4.26×10³⁷ kg.

We need to calculate the radius of the orbit

Using formula of radius

r=\dfrac{d}{2}

r=\dfrac{15\times9.461\times10^{15}}{2}

r=7.09\times10^{16}\ m

We need to calculate the mass of the massive object at the center of the Milky Way galaxy

Using formula of mass

M=\dfrac{v^2r}{G}

Put the value into the formula

M=\dfrac{(180\times10^3)^2\times7.09\times10^{16}}{6.67\times10^{-11}}

M=3.44\times10^{37}\ Kg

Hence, The mass of the massive object at the center of the Milky Way galaxy is 3.44\times10^{37}\ Kg
