The matter that makes up a planet is distributed uniformly so that the planet has a fixed, uniform density. How does the magnitu

de of the acceleration due to gravity g at the planet surface depend on the planet radius R ? (Hint: how does the total mass scale with radius?) g ∝ 1 / R g ∝ R g ∝ √ R g ∝ R 2

Answer:

the acceleration due to gravity g at the surface is proportional to the planet radius R (g ∝ R)

Explanation:

according to newton's law of universal gravitation ( we will neglect relativistic effects)

F= G*m*M/d² , G= constant , M= planet mass , m= mass of an object , d=distance between the object and the centre of mass of the planet

if we assume that the planet has a spherical shape,  the object mass at the surface is at a distance d=R (radius) from the centre of mass and the planet volume is V=4/3πR³ ,

since M= ρ* V = ρ* 4/3πR³ , ρ= density

F = G*m*M/R² = G*m*ρ* 4/3πR³/R²= G*ρ* 4/3πR

from Newton's second law

F= m*g = G*ρ*m* 4/3πR

thus

g = G*ρ* 4/3π*R = (4/3π*G*ρ)*R

g ∝ R

A 0.10 g honeybee acquires a charge of +23 pC while flying.
kari74 [83]

Answer:

a) \frac{F}{w} =2.347\times 10^{-6}\ N

b) E=4.2609\times 10^7\ N.C^{-1} parallel to the earth surface.

  • In this case according to the Fleming's left hand rule the direction of movement of bee must be in a direction parallel to the earth surface and perpendicular to the electric field at the same time.

Explanation:

Given:

mass of the bee, m=10^{-4}\ kg

charge acquired by the bee, q_2=23\times 10^{-12}\ C

a.

Electrical field near the earth surface, E=100\ N.C^{-1}

Now the electric force on the bee:

we know:

F=\frac{1}{4\pi.\epsilon_0} \times \frac{q_1.q_2}{r^2}

F=E.q_2

F=100\times 23\times 10^{-12}

F=23\times 10^{-10}\ N

The weight of the bee:

w=m.g

w=10^{-4}\times 9.8

w=9.8\times10^{-4}\ N

Therefore the ratio :

\frac{F}{w} =\frac{23\times 10^{-10}}{9.8\times10^{-4}}

\frac{F}{w} =2.347\times 10^{-6}\ N

b.

The condition for the bee to hang is its weight must get balanced by the electric force acing equally in the opposite direction.

So,

F=9.8\times10^{-4}\ N

E.q_2=9.8\times10^{-4}\ N

E\times 23\times 10^{-12}=9.8\times10^{-4}\ N

E=4.2609\times 10^7\ N.C^{-1} parallel to the earth surface.

  • In this case according to the Fleming's left hand rule the direction of movement of bee must be in a direction parallel to the earth surface and perpendicular to the electric field at the same time.

Calculate the change in length of a 90.5 mm aluminum bar that has increased in temperature by from -14.4 oC to 154.6 oC
nignag [31]

Answer:

 ΔL = 3.82 10⁻⁴ m

Explanation:

This is a thermal expansion exercise

          ΔL = α L₀ ΔT

          ΔT = T_f - T₀

where ΔL is the change in length and ΔT is the change in temperature

Let's reduce the length to SI units

          L₀ = 90.5 mm (1m / 1000 mm) = 0.0905 m

let's calculate

          ΔL = 25.10⁻⁶ 0.0905 (154.6 - (14.4))

          ΔL = 3.8236 10⁻⁴ m

     

using the criterion of three significant figures

          ΔL = 3.82 10⁻⁴ m
