Answer:

a)    Fa = G m2 [M / r² - m / (d-r)²]  

b) r2 = 31 10⁶ m

Explanation:

The equation of the law of universal gravitation is

            F = G m1 m1/ r²

The value of the gravitation constant is 6.67 10-11 N m²/kg². This force is always attractive.

Let's calculate the value of that force on the spacecraft, add the strength

Earth's force to the ship

            F1 = G M m2 / r²

The moon force ship

            F2 = G m m2 / (d-r)²

Total force is

            Fa = F1 — F2

            Fa = G M M2 / r² - G m m2 / (d-r)²

            Fa = G m2 [M / r² - m / (d-r)²]

This is the force on the spaceship

b)  Let's look for the point where the force is zero, for this we can see that the value of the bracket must be zero

           Fa = 0

           [M / r² - m / (d-r)²] = 0

            M / r² = m / (d-r)²

           (d-r)² = m/M   r²

           d² -2rd + r² - m/M   r² = 0

           r² [m/M - 1] + r 2d - d² = 0

This is a second degree equation for r, we solve the to find the results.

           r = {-2d ±√[4d² - 4 [m/M -1] (-d²)]} / (2 [m/M-1])

           r = {-2d ± √ [4d² (1 + (m/M-1)]} / 2(m/M-1)

           r = {-2d ± 2d √(m/M)}  / (2(m/M-1))

           r = 2d {-1 ± √(m/M)} / 2(m/M-1)

           r = d [-1 ± √(m/M)] /  (m/M-1)

To find the explicit value we substitute the values ​​that we can find in tables

          m = 7.36 1022 kg

          M = 5.98 1024 kg

          d = 380000 km (1000m / 1 km) = 380 10⁶ m

          r = 380 10⁶ [-1 ±√(7.36 10²² / 5.98 10²⁴)] /(7.36 10²² / 5.98 / 10²⁴ -1)

          r = 380 10⁶ [-1 - √ (1.23 10²)] / (123-1)

          r = 380 106 [-1 ± 11] / 122

 

          r1 = 380 10⁶ 10/122 = 380 10⁶ 0.08197

          r1 =  31 10⁶ m

          r2 = 380 106 [-12/122] = 380 10 6 0.09836

          r2 = -37 10⁶ m

The correct distance is the positive r2 = 31 10⁶ m

c) let's use Newton's second law, to find the acceleration in the spacecraft

 

          F = m a

          a = Fa / m2 = G m2 [M / r² - m / (d-r)²] / m2

          a = G [M/r² - m/(d-r)²]

Since we have acceleration, we can use the definition of kinematics

           a = dv / dt = dv / dr dr / dt = dv / dr v

           v dv = a dr

           v dV = G [M /r² - m /(d-r)²] dr

We integrate

            ½ (V² - Vo²) = G [M (-1 /r) -m (1 / (d-r)

We evaluate between the initial point where we can assume that the initial velocity is zero for the Xo position and the final point with velocity v at the points

            V² = 2G [M (1 / Xo - 1 /X) - m (1 / (d-X) - 1 /(d-xo)]

            V² = [-M /X -m /(d-X)] 2G + constant

We now use the definition of speed

            v = dx / dt

            dx = V dt

We substitute, perform the integral and simplify, if we can make the constant zero

             dx = √([-M / X -m / (d-X)] 2G) dt

             dx / √([-M / X -m / (d-X)] 2G = dt

How is the wavelength of a longitudinal wave determined?
astraxan [27]

Answer:

Wavelength can always be found by measuring the distance between any two corresponding points on adjacent waves. In the case of a longitudinal wave, a wavelength measurement is made by measuring the distance from a compression to the next compression or from a rarefaction to the next rarefaction.

Gravitational energy can be negative?
AlladinOne [14]

answer:

yes

explanation:

At a separation of the surface of Earth (r=6400km) gravity wants pull the test mass closer and closer. ... So the work done by gravity is NEGATIVE. The gravitational potential energy is negative because us trying to do the opposite of what gravity wants needs positive energy.

How much kinetic energy does a moving 100 kg object have if it is moving at 5 m/s?
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

The object has 1250 Joules of Kinetic Energy.

Explanation:

Kinetic Energy = \frac{1}{2}mass*velocity²

KE = \frac{1}{2}mv²

KE = \frac{1}{2}(100kg)(5m/s)²

KE = \frac{1}{2}(100kg)(25m/s²)

KE = 1250\frac{kg}{m/s^2}

KE = 1250J
