Suppose your friend claims to have discovered a mysterious force in nature that acts on all particles in some region of space. H

e tells you that the force is always pointed away a definite point in space, which we can call the force center. The magnitude of the force turns out to be proportional to B/r3, where r is the distance from the force center to any other point. Your friend says that it has been determined that the constant of proportionality has been determined to be B= 2 (in units to be determined later), so that the magnitude of the force on a particle (in newtons) can be written as 2r^3, when the particle is at a distance r from the force center.

Answer:

             U = 1 / r²

Explanation:

In this exercise they do not ask for potential energy giving the expression of force, since these two quantities are related

             

         F = - dU / dr

this derivative is a gradient, that is, a directional derivative, so we must have

          dU = - F. dr

the esxresion for strength is

         F = B / r³

let's replace

          ∫ dU = - ∫ B / r³  dr

in this case the force and the displacement are parallel, therefore the scalar product is reduced to the algebraic product

let's evaluate the integrals

            U - Uo = -B (- / 2r² + 1 / 2r₀²)

To complete the calculation we must fix the energy at a point, in general the most common choice is to make the potential energy zero (Uo = 0) for when the distance is infinite (r = ∞)

             U = B / 2r²

we substitute the value of B = 2

             U = 1 / r²

What is the force on a 1,000 kilogram-elevator that is falling freely under the acceleration of gravity only?
likoan [24]

           Force = (mass) · (acceleration)

                     = (1,000 kg) · (9.8 m/s²)

                     =      9,800 newtons

Why are you still having a problem with      F = M · a  ?

Tarzan (75 kg) swings from 4 metres high on a vine down to ground level and catches Jane (50 kg). How fast are they moving after
Kruka [31]

Try this solution (if it is possible, check it in other sources):

1. for m_Tarzan=75kg., initial_height=4m., end_height=0 m. and g=10 N/kg. Energy is:

E=m_{Tarzan}*(H_{initial}-H_{end})*g=75*4*10=3000(J).

2. The same value of Energy is applied for m_Tarzan+Jane=75+50=125 kg.:

E=\frac{m_{Tarzan+Jane}* Speed^2}{2}; \ => \ Speed=\sqrt{ \frac{2*E}{m_{Tarzan+Jane}}};

3. According to the formula of the Speed:

Speed=sqrt(6000/125)=sqrt(48)=4sqrt(3)≈4*1.71=6.84 (m/s)


Answer: 6.84 (m. per sec.)

The planet Mercury takes 0.24 sidereal years to go around the sun. What is the distance from the center of Mercury to the center
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

5.77×10¹⁰ m

Explanation:

From the question,

Applying

Kepler's third law

P² = d³...................... Equation 1

Where P = Planet's period, d = distance between the center of the planet and the sun.

make d the subject of the formula n equation 1

d = \sqrt[3]{P^{2}  }.................. Equation 2

Given: P = 0.24 sidereal.

Substitute the value of P into equation 2

d = \sqrt[3]{0.24^{2} }

d = 0.386 Au

d = 0.386×1.496×10¹¹

d = 5.77×10¹⁰ m

Microwave ovens emit microwave energy with a wavelength of 12.6 cm. what is the energy of exactly one photon of this microwave r
Helga [31]

We need the frequency of the photon, it is v = c/ λ

Where c is 3 x 10^8 ms^-1 and λ is the wave length

We also need the expression of connecting frequency to energy of photon 

which is E = hv where h is Planck’s constant

Combining the two equations will give us:

E = h x c/λ

Inserting the values, we will have:

E = 6.626 x 10^-34 x 3 x 10^8 / 0.126

E = 1.578 x 10^ -24 J
