The gravitational force between two asteroids is 100N. What would the force be if the distance between the asteroids was cut in

half?

The gravitational forces between two masses are inversely proportional to
the square of the distance between the centers of the masses.

So if the distance between the <u>centers</u> of the asteroids is multiplied by 1/2,
then the gravitational forces between them are multiplied by ...

                         1 / (1/2)²  =  (2)²  =  4 .

The new force is  (100N)  x  (4)  =  <em>400N</em>.

Steel wire rope is used to lift a heavy object. We use a 3.1m steel wire that
kaheart [24]

Answer:

Young's modulus for the rope material is 20.8 MPa.    

 

Explanation:

The Young's modulus is given by:

E = \frac{FL_{0}}{A\Delta L}

Where:

F: is the force applied on the wire

L₀: is the initial length of the wire = 3.1 m

A: is the cross-section area of the wire

ΔL: is the change in the length = 0.17 m

The cross-section area of the wire is given by the area of a circle:

A = \pi r^{2} = \pi (\frac{0.006 m}{2})^{2} = 2.83 \cdot 10^{-5} m^{2}

Now we need to find the force applied on the wire. Since the wire is lifting an object, the force is equal to the tension of the wire as follows:

F = T_{w} = W_{o}

Where:

T_{w}: is the tension of the wire

W_{o}: is the weigh of the object = mg

m: is the mass of the object = 1700 kg

g: is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

F = mg = 1700 kg*9.81 m/s^{2} = 16677 N

Hence, the Young's modulus is:

E = \frac{16677 N*0.006 m}{2.83 \cdot 10^{-5} m^{2}*0.17 m} = 20.8 MPa          

Therefore, Young's modulus for the rope material is 20.8 MPa.                

I hope it helps you!

Our favorite program runs in 10 seconds on computer A, which has a 4 GHz. clock. We are trying to help a computer designer build
Alona [7]

Answer:

The rate clock is about

F = 8 GHz

Explanation:

f₁ = 4 G Hz , t₁ = 10 s , t₂ = 6s , f₂ = 1.2 f₁

Can organize to find the rate clock the designer build to the target so

X / 4 Ghz = 10 s , 1.2 X /  Y = 6 s

X * Y = 10 s  ⇒ F = 10 s

1.2 * 4 G Hz = 6 s

F = 10 * ( 1.2 * 4 G Hz ) / 6

F = 10 * ( 1.2 * 4 x 10 ⁹ Hz )  /  6

F = 8 x 10 ⁹ Hz

F = 8 GHz
