Your teacher (175kg) and the lab (15kg) are 2m apart. What is the gravitational force between them? Draw a FBD, and label

1 answer:

7 0

The gravitational force between two objects is given by
$F=G \frac{m_1 m_2 }{r^2}$
where
G is the gravitational constant
m1 and m2 are the masses of the two objects
r is the separation between the two objects

In this problem, $m_1 = 175 kg$ , $m_2 =15 kg$ and $r=2 m$ , therefore the gravitational force between the two objects is
$F=(6.67 \cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1} s^{-2}) \frac{(175 kg)(15 kg)}{(2m)^2}=4.38 \cdot10^{-8} N$

A charging bull elephant with a mass of 5240 kg comes directly toward youwith a speed of 4.55 m/s. You toss a 0.150- kg rubber b

bearhunter [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

mass of elephant, m1 = 5240 kg

mass of ball, m2 = 0.150 kg

initial velocity of elephant, u1 = - 4.55 m/s

initial velocity of ball, u2 = 7.81 m/s

Let the final velocity of ball is v2.

Use the formula of collision

$v_{2}=\left ( \frac{2m_{1}}{m_{1}+m_{2}} \right )u_{1}+\left ( \frac{m_{2}-m_{1}}{m_{1}+m_{2}} \right )u_{2}$

$v_{2}=\left ( \frac{2\times 5240}{5240+0.150} \right )(-4.55)+\left ( \frac{0.15-5240}{5240+0.150} \right )(7.81)$

v2 = - 16.9 m/s

The negative sign shows that the ball bounces back towards you.

(b) It is clear that the velocity of ball increases and hence the kinetic energy of the ball increases. This gain in energy is due to the energy from elephant.

A kangaroo can jump over an object 2.46 m high. (a) Calculate its vertical speed (in m/s) when it leaves the ground.

Elenna [48]

Answer:

a) 6.95 m/s

b) 1.42 seconds

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow -u^2=2as-v^2\\\Rightarrow -u^2=2\times -9.81\times 2.46-0^2\\\Rightarrow u=\sqrt{2\times 9.81\times 2.46}\\\Rightarrow u=6.95\ m/s$
