Answer:

a) 2.76x10^-9 m/s^2

b) downward

Explanation:

a) In order to do this, we need to use the newton's law of gravitation which is:

F = G.m/r²

Where:

G: Constant of gravitation (6.67x10^-11 N/m)

m: mass of the object

r: distance or radius of the object.

In this case, we have two spheres, so this law becomes:

F = G*m1*m2 / r²

Now, you are not providing a picture with this, however, this problem is very similar to one I solved before, so, I'm gonna use the same values to solve this. If, you have different values for the distance, just replace them in this procedure and should get the correct and more accurate answer.

In this case, the distance that separates sphere in P from sphere A and B is 10 cm. As both spheres have the same mass and they are at the same distance from P, we can assume that F1 = F2 so:

F1 = (6.67x10^-11) * (0.01) * (0.26) / (0.1)² = 1.73x10^-11 N

sphere at P, will roll downward to the middle of sphere A and B. The distance between these two points it's 8 cm (See picture attached)

Now, according to my data, they are exerting a force in the y axis, so:

F1y = Fy * senФ

senФ using trigonometry is:

senФ = opposite lenght / hipotenuse

senФ = 8/10 = 0.8

Replacing:

F1y = 1.73x10^-11 * 0.8 = 1.38x10^-11 N

This force it's exactly the same as F2y, so the total force is:

F = 1.38x10^-11 * 2 = 2.76x10^-11 N

Finally, using the second law of Newton:

F = m*a

Solving for a:

a = F/m

replacing:

a = 2.76x10^-11 / 0.01

a = 2.76x10^-9 m/s²

According to the picture and the value of this magnitude, it's going downward.

A horizontal disk with a radius of 10 cm rotates about a vertical axis through its center. The disk starts from rest at t = 0 an
Tom [10]

Answer:

0.69s

Explanation:

10 cm = 0.1 m

Let t be the time that radial and tangential components of the linear acceleration of a point on the rim be equal in magnitude. At that time we have the angular velocity would be

\omega = \alpha t = 2.1 t

And so the radial acceleration is

a_r = \omega^2 r = (2.1t)^2 r = 2.1^2 t^2 * 0.1= 0.441 t^2 m/s^2

The tangential acceleration is always the same since angular acceleration is constant:

a_t = \alpha * r = 2.1 * 0.1 = 0.21 m/s^2

For these 2 quantities to be the same

a_r = a_t

0.441 t^2 = 0.21

t^2 = 0.21/0.441 = 0.4762

t = \sqrt{0.4762} = 0.69 s

Explain what parallel medium boundaries do to the path of the wave after it travels through both boundaries. (air and water)
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

The boundaries cause the waves to change direction an effect called <u>refraction.</u>

Explanation:

When a wave crosses a boundary between different materials, the speed of the wave and its wavelength changes.When passing from air to water the two properties (speed and wavelength) decreases, and the wave is observed to change direction as it crosses the boundary between the two material.The bending of the wave is called refraction.
