Gravity causes objects to be attracted to one another. This attraction keeps our feet firmly planted on the ground and causes th

e moon to orbit the earth. The force of gravitational attraction is represented by the equation F=Gm1m2r2, where F is the magnitude of the gravitational attraction on either body, m1 and m2 are the masses of the bodies, r is the distance between them, and G is the gravitational constant. In SI units, the units of force are kg⋅m/s2, the units of mass are kg, and the units of distance are m.

The unit of the gravitational constant is \boxed{{{{{\text{m}}^{\text{3}}}} \mathord{\left/{\vphantom {{{{\text{m}}^{\text{3}}}} {{\text{kg}} \cdot {{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}}}} \right.\kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {{\text{kg}} \cdot {{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}}}}.

Further Explanation:

According to the Newton’s Law of gravitation, the gravitational force of attraction between two bodies kept at a distance r is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the bodies.

The mathematical expression for the Newton’s law of gravitation is as shown below.

F = \dfrac{{G{m_1}{m_2}}}{{{r^2}}}  

Here, G is the gravitational constant, {m_1}\& {m_2} are the masses of the bodies and r is the distance between two bodies.

Rearrange the above expression fir the gravitational constant G.

G = \dfrac{{F{r^2}}}{{{m_1}{m_2}}}  

Substitute the SI units of force, distance and mass in the above expression.

\begin{aligned}G&=\dfrac{(\text{kg}\cdot\text{m/s}^2)(\text{m})^2}{(\text{kg})(\text{kg})}\\&=\dfrac{\text{m}^3}{\text{kg}\cdot\text{s}^2}\\&=\text{m}^3/\text{kg}\cdot\text{s}^2\end{aligned}  

Thus, the unit of the gravitational constant is \boxed{{{{{\text{m}}^{\text{3}}}} \mathord{\left/{\vphantom {{{{\text{m}}^{\text{3}}}} {{\text{kg}} \cdot {{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}}}} \right.\kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {{\text{kg}} \cdot {{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}}}}.

So the problem are asking to find the value of G base on the formula of the said equation of the magnitude of gravitational attraction on either body. Base on that, the possible answer or the derived formula of the said function is G = Fr^2/m1m2. I hope you are satisfied with my answer and feel free to ask for more

An object of mass, m1 with a velocity, v1 collides with another object at rest (v2 = 0) with a mass, m2. After the collision, m1
goblinko [34]

Answer:

v"_{1} = v_{1} tanΘ

v^{"} _{2} = \frac{m_{1}v_{1}}{m_{2}cos}Θ

Θ = tan^{-1}(\frac{v^{"} _{1} }{v_{1} } )

Explanation:

Applying the law of conservation of momentum, we have:

Δp_{x = 0}

p_{x} = p"_{x}

m_{1}v_{1} = m_{2}v"_{2} cosΘ (Equation 1)

Δp_{y} = 0

p_{y} = p"_{y}

0 = m_{1} v"_{1} - m_{2} v"_{2} sinΘ (Equation 2)

From Equation 1:

v"_{2} = \frac{m_{1}v_{1}}{m_{2}cos}Θ

From Equation 2:

m_{2} v"_{2}sinΘ = m_{1} v_{1}

v"_{1} = \frac{m_{2} v"_{2}sinΘ}{m_{1} }

Replacing Equation 3 in Equation 4:

v"_{1}=\frac{m_{2}\frac{m_{1}v_{1}}{m_{2}cosΘ}sinΘ}{m_{1}}

v"_{1}=v_{1}\frac{sinΘ}{cosΘ}

v"_{1}=v_{1}tanΘ (Equation 5)

And we found Θ from the Equation 5:

tanΘ=\frac{v"_{1}}{v_{1}}

Θ=tan^{-1}(\frac{v"_{1}}{v_{1}})

The ocean’s tides are not only affected by the shape of the coastlines, or slope of the ocean floor, but also by the gravitation
dexar [7]

Answer:

a) According to Newton's law of gravitation, as the distance between the Moon and the Earth decreases, the gravitational attraction increases and vice versa

The gravitational force of the Moon on the Earth causes the Earth to be slightly bulged on the side directly facing the Moon

The gravitational force also pulls the water bodies on the Earth's surface towards the Moon in the same manner and the effect is more pronounced due to the ability of the liquid water to assume a shape based on the magnitude of the gravitational field attracting it

Therefore, the region where the Moon is closest to the Earth we have a high tide as the water level rises and the region which is perpendicular to where the Moon is located has a  low tide

b) The two special types of tides are

1) The neap tide

2) The spring tide

Neap tide

Neap tide occurs when the Sun and Moon are 90° apart from each other when they are viewed by an observer from Earth

The gravitational pull of the Sun cancels (partially) the effect of the gravitational pull and tidal force of the Moon, resulting in minimum tidal range

Spring Tide

Spring tide occurs when the Earth, the Moon, and the Sun are simultaneously inline, such that the Sun reinforces the gravitational pull and tidal force of the Moon, resulting in a maximum tidal range

Which statements describe processes involved in the accretion of planetesimals and protoplanets? Check all that apply.
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

The correct options are;

Both involve the formation of solid particles from nebular materials

Both involve the work of gravitational push on nebular materials

Explanation:

Planetesimals are thought to be the product of grains of cosmic dusts that are found in the debris and protoplanetary discs, such that hundreds of planet forming embrayos are considered to be the result of the collisions of planetesimals that collide with each other to form larger embrayos

Protoplanets is a large planetary body with a stratified interior due to internal melting that has taken place. They originate in the protoplanetary discs from the collision of planetesimals that are up to a kilometer in size.
