Part b suppose the magnitude of the gravitational force between two spherical objects is 2000 n when they are 100 km apart. what
kobusy [5.1K]
<span>b) The force with a distance of 150 km is 889 N c) The force with a distance of 50 km is 8000 N This question looks like a mixture of a question and a critique of a previous answer. I'll attempt to address the original question. Since the radius of the spherical objects isn't mentioned anywhere, I will assume that the distance from the center of each spherical object is what's being given. The gravitational force between two masses is given as F = (G M1 M2)/r^2 where F = Force G = gravitational constant M1 = Mass 1 M2 = Mass 2 r = distance between center of masses for the two masses. So with a r value of 100 km, we have a force of 2000 Newtons. If we change the distance to 150 km, that increases the distance by a factor of 1.5 and since the force varies with the inverse square, we get the original force divided by 2.25. And 2000 / 2.25 = 888.88888.... when rounded to 3 digits gives us 889. Looking at what looks like an answer of 890 in the question is explainable as someone rounding incorrectly to 2 significant digits. If the distance is changed to 50 km from the original 100 km, then you have half the distance (50/100 = 0.5) and the squaring will give you a new divisor of 0.25, and 2000 / 0.25 = 8000. So the force increases to 8000 Newtons.</span>

an electrically charged particle with mass m, velocity v, and charge q moves in a circle in magnetic field b. what is the formul
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

r=\frac {mv}{qb}

Explanation:

In this case,  since the charged particle moves in circular motion,  the centripetal force is equivalent to the magnetic force.

\frac {mv^{2}}{r}=qvb\\\frac {mv}{r}=qb\\r=\frac {mv}{qb}

A space station in the shape of a 100 m-diameter (50m radius) wheel is spinning so as to impart a linear tangential speed of 22.
zalisa [80]

Answer:

correct option is b. 31.3 m/s

Explanation:

given data

artificial gravity a1 = 1 g

artificial gravity a2 = 2 g

diameter = 100 m

radius  r= 50 m

speed v1 = 22.1 m/s

solution

As acceleration is  ∝ v²

so we can say

\frac{a2}{a1} = \frac{v2}{v1}    .....................1

put here value

\frac{2}{1} = \frac{v2}{22.1}  

solve it

v2 = \sqrt{2 } × 22.1

v2 = 31.25 m/s

so correct option is b. 31.3 m/s
