Why does the value of g vary from place to place?

Physics

NemiM [27]2 years ago

Answer:

The variation in apparent gravitational acceleration (g) at different locations on Earth is caused by two things (as you implied). ... The distance between the centers of mass of two objects affects the gravitational force between them, so the force of gravity on an object is smaller at the equator compared to the poles.

A proton moves with a velocity of v with arrow = (3î − 5ĵ + k) m/s in a region in which the magnetic field is B with arrow = (î

Allisa [31]

Answer:

The magnitude of the magnetic force this particle experiences is $2.6\times10^{-9}\ N$ .

Explanation:

Given that,

Velocity v= (3i-5j+k) m/s

Magnetic field B=(i+2j-k) T

We need to calculate the value $\vec{v}\times\vec{B}$

$(\vec{v}\times\vec{B})=3i+4j+11k$

We need to calculate the magnitude of the magnetic force this particle experiences

Using formula of magnetic force

$\vec{F}=q(\vec{v}\times\vec{B})$

Put the value into the formula

$\vec{F}=1.6\times10^{-19}\times(3i+4j+11k)$

$\vec{F}=(4.8i+6.4j+1.76k)\times10^{-19}$

$|F|=2.6\times10^{-9}\ N$

Hence, The magnitude of the magnetic force this particle experiences is $2.6\times10^{-9}\ N$ .

Two identical 7.10-gg metal spheres (small enough to be treated as particles) are hung from separate 700-mmmm strings attached t

nlexa [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let m be mass of each sphere and θ be angle, string makes with vertex in equilibrium.

Let T be tension in the hanging string

T cosθ = mg ( for balancing in vertical direction )

for balancing in horizontal direction

Tsinθ = F ( F is force of repulsion between two charges sphere)

Dividing the two equations

Tanθ = F / mg

tan17 = F / (7.1 x 10⁻³ x 9.8)

F = 21.27 x 10⁻³ N

if q be charge on each sphere , force of repulsion between the two

F = k q x q / r² ( r is distance between two sphere , r = 2 x .7 x sin17 = .41 m )

21.27 x 10⁻³ = (9 X 10⁹ x q²) / .41²

q² = .3973 x 10⁻¹²

q = .63 x 10⁻⁶ C

no of electrons required = q / charge on a single electron

= .63 x 10⁻⁶ / 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹

= .39375 x 10¹³

3.9375 x 10¹² .

The force needed to keep a car from skidding on a curve varies inversely as the radius of the curve and jointly as the weight of

motikmotik

Explanation:

It is given that, the force needed to keep a car from skidding on a curve varies inversely as the radius of the curve and jointly as the weight of the car and the square of the car's speed such that,

$F\propto \dfrac{mgv^2}{r}$

$F=\dfrac{kmgv^2}{r}$

mg is the weight of the car

r is the radius of the curve

v is the speed of the car

Case 1.

F = 640 pounds

Weight of the car, W = mg = 2600 pound

Radius of the curve, r = 650 ft

Speed of the car, v = 40 mph

$640=\dfrac{k(2600)(40)^2}{650}$

k = 0.1

Case 2.

Radius of the curve, r = 750 ft

Speed of the car, v = 30 mph

$F=\dfrac{0.1\times 2600\times (30)^2}{750}$

F = 312 N

Hence, this is the required solution.
