At a point near the rim of the disk, it will have a<span> non-zero radial acceleration and a zero tangential acceleration. Also known as centripetal acceleration, radial acceleration takes place along the radius of the disk. On the other hand, the tangential acceleration is along the path of disk's motion.</span>
Answer:![5.11(10)^{13}miles](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=5.11%2810%29%5E%7B13%7Dmiles)
Explanation:
A light year is a unit of length and is defined as "the distance a photon would travel in vacuum during a Julian year at the speed of light at an infinite distance from any gravitational field or magnetic field. "
In other words: It is the distance that the light travels in a year.
This unit is equivalent to
, which mathematically is expressed as:
![1Ly=5.879(10)^{12}miles](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=1Ly%3D5.879%2810%29%5E%7B12%7Dmiles)
Doing the conversion:
This is the distance from Earth to Sirius in miles.
The Box's Acceleration : g sin θ
<h3>Further explanation </h3>
Newton's 2nd law explains that the acceleration produced by the resultant force on an object is proportional and in line with the resultant force and inversely proportional to the mass of the object
∑F = m. a
F = force, N
m = mass = kg
a = acceleration due to gravity, m / s²
We plot the forces acting on the block (picture attached) according to the y-axis and the x-axis.
Because the motion of the block is in the same direction as the x-axis, ignoring the friction force with the inclined plane, then
![\tt \sum F_x=m.a\\\\W.sin\theta=m.a\\\\mgsin\theta=m.a\\\\a=gsin\thet\theta](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Ctt%20%5Csum%20F_x%3Dm.a%5C%5C%5C%5CW.sin%5Ctheta%3Dm.a%5C%5C%5C%5Cmgsin%5Ctheta%3Dm.a%5C%5C%5C%5Ca%3Dgsin%5Cthet%5Ctheta)
Use the law of universal gravitation, which says the force of gravitation between two bodies of mass <em>m</em>₁ and <em>m</em>₂ a distance <em>r</em> apart is
<em>F</em> = <em>G m</em>₁ <em>m</em>₂ / <em>r</em>²
where <em>G</em> = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N m²/kg².
The Earth has a radius of about 6371 km = 6.371 x 10⁶ m (large enough for a pineapple on the surface of the earth to have an effective distance from the center of the Earth to be equal to this radius), and a mass of about 5.97 x 10²⁴ kg, so the force of gravitation between the pineapple and the Earth is
<em>F</em> = (6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N m²/kg²) (1 kg) (5.97 x 10²⁴ kg) / (6.371 x 10⁶ m)²
<em>F</em> ≈ 9.81 N
Notice that this is roughly equal to the weight of the pineapple on Earth, (1 kg)<em>g</em>, where <em>g</em> = 9.80 m/s² is the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity, so that [force of gravity] = [weight] on any given planet.
This means that on this new planet with twice the radius of Earth, the pineapple would have a weight of
<em>F</em> = <em>G m</em>₁ <em>m</em>₂ / (2<em>r</em>)² = 1/4 <em>G m</em>₁ <em>m</em>₂ / <em>r</em>²
i.e. 1/4 of the weight on Earth, which would be about 2.45 N.
