Answer:
The force of gravity
Explanation:
Gravity was studied, by early scientists such as Copernicus and others, Galileo was the first to ensure that planets moved according to a physical equation that depended on a force that caused celestial bodies to move and interact with each other. But years later Newton based on studies conducted deciphering what Galileo assumed, he was able to find the equation of the force of gravity in any body in the universe. This equation depends on the masses of the two interacting bodies, the distance between them and a constant, which I call universal gravitation constant.
Fg = gravity force [N]
G = universal gravitation constant = 6.67*10^(-11) [N*m^2/kg^2]
m1 = mass of the 1st body [kg]
m2 = mass of the 2nd body [kg]
r = distance between the bodies [meters]
Answer:
44 N
Explanation:
The electrostatic forces between two charges is given by:
where
k is the Coulomb's constant
q1 and q2 are the two charges
r is their separation
We notice that the force is directly proportional to the charges.
In this problem, initially we have a force of
F = 22 N
on a q2 = 4.0 C, exerted by a charge q1.
If the charge is doubled,
q2 = 8.0 C
This means that the force will also double, so it will be
Connection to Big Idea about energy: Gravity creates gravitational potential energy. Gravitational energy relies on the masses of two bodies and their distance.
Connection to Big Idea about the universe: Gravitational force is exerted by all objects with mass throughout the Universe. It is what keeps the Earth and the planets in orbit around the Sun, and our Solar System in orbit around the centre of the Milky Way. Gravity is one of the forces involved in the birth of stars, their evolution and finally their death.
Connection to Big Idea about Earth: The gravitational force is responsible for many physical properties of Earth and consequently it affects the existence and the properties of living creatures on it. For instance, the existence, the chemical composition and the structure of Earth’s atmosphere was determined by Earth’s gravitational force.
Answer:
265 J
Explanation:
where KE is kinetic energy, PE is potential energy, m is the mass of an object, v is the speed, h is the height and g is acceleration due to gravity.
Substituting 19.7 Kg for mass, 0.934 for h, 2.93 for v and 9.81 for g then
Answer:
159 N
Explanation:
The force of friction, Fr is a product of coefficient of feiction and the normal force. Therefore, Fr=uN where N is the normal force and u is coefficient of friction. Here, we have two coefficients of friction but since it is sliding, then we use coefficient of kinetic energy. Substituting 0.25 for u and 636 N for N then
Fr=0.25*636=159 N
Therefore, the force of friction is equivalent to 159 N
