Newton discovered that gravity behaves differently in space than it does on Earth. true or false?

1 answer:

5 0

Yes. It is true. Gravity behaves differently than on earth. In-fact, as we go above the earth surface the gravity decreases. Gravity as we go above the earth surface can be calculated using following formula:

g' = g(1-2h/R)

Hence, it is true that the gravity behaves differently than on earth.

A block rides on a piston that is moving vertically with simple harmonic motion. (a) If the SHM has period 2.68 s, at what ampli

fredd [130]

Answer:

Part a)

$A = 1.78 m$

Part b)

$f = 2 rev/s$

Explanation:

Part A)

As we know that time period of the motion is given as

$T = 2.68 s$

so we have

$\omega = \frac{2\pi}{T}$

$\omega = \frac{2\pi}{2.68}$

$\omega = 2.34 rad/s$

now at the point of maximum amplitude the force equation when Normal force is about to zero is given as

$mg = m\omega^2 A$

so we have

$A = \frac{g}{\omega^2}$

$A = \frac{9.81}{2.34^2}$

$A = 1.78 m$

Part b)

Now if the amplitude of the SHM is 6.23 cm

and now at this amplitude if object will lose the contact then in that case again we have

$mg = m\omega^2 A$

$g = \omega^2 (0.0623)$

$\omega = 12.5 rad/s$

so now we have

$2\pi f = 12.5$

$f = 2 rev/s$

The mass of block B is twice the mass of block A, while the mass of the pulley is equal to the mass of block A. The blocks are l

marshall27 [118]

Answer:

C)the right cord pulls on the pulley with greater force than the left cord

Explanation:

As we can see the figure that B is connected to the right string while A is connected to the left string

Now force equation for B as it will move downwards is given as

$(2m)g - T_B = (2m)a$

similarly for block A which will move upwards we can write the equation as

$T_A - mg = ma$

now we know that pulley is also rotating so the tangential acceleration of the rope at the contact point with pulley must be same as that of acceleration of the blocks

so here pulley will rotate clockwise direction

So tension in the right string must be more than the left string

So correct answer will be

C)the right cord pulls on the pulley with greater force than the left cord

Twin A makes a one way trip at 0.6c to a star 12 light years away while twin B stays on Earth. Each twin sends the other a signa

hram777 [196]

Answer:

8 signals received by twin A during the trip.

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance = 12 light year

Speed = 0.6 c

Time = 1 year

We need to calculate the time by A

Using formula of time

$T=t\sqrt{\dfrac{1+\dfrac{v}{c}}{1-\dfrac{v}{c}}}$

Put the value into the formula

$T=1\sqrt{\dfrac{1+0.6}{1-0.6}}$

$T=2\ years$

Similarly,

The expression for distance cover by A

$D=d\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v^2}{c^2}}$

$D=12\sqrt{1-(0.6)^2}$

$D=9.6\ ly$

We need to calculate the time

Using formula of time

$t=\dfrac{D}{v}$

$t=\dfrac{9.6}{0.6}$

$t=16\ years$

We need to calculate the signals received by twin A

Using formula for number of signals

$n=\dfrac{t}{T}$

Put the value into the formula

$n=\dfrac{16}{2}$

$n=8\ signals$

Hence, 8 signals received by twin A during the trip.

A gas is placed in a storage tank at a pressure of 49.2 atm at 39.0C . As a safety device, a small metal plug in the tank is mad

Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

The maximum pressure that will be attained in the tank before the plug melts and releases gas should be less than 74.26 atm.

Explanation:

To calculate the final pressure of the system, we use the equation given by Gay-Lussac Law. This law states that pressure of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant pressure.

Mathematically,

$\frac{P_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2}{T_2}$
