Three small spheres, having masses m1 = 1 kg, m2 = 3 kg, and m3 = 4 kg, are held fixed on the x axis in deep space where the eff

ects of earth's gravity can be neglected. They are positioned at x = 0, x = 3 m, and x = 6 m, respectively. What is the magnitude of net gravitational force on m2?

Answer: F_{net} = 0.7411 N towards the mass m_{3}

Explanation: We know that the gravitational force is a long range force which is always attractive in nature.

Given that:

  • mass m_{1} = 1 kg
  • mass m_{2} = 3kg
  • mass m_{3} = 4kg

The masses are positioned on X-axis at the following points:

  • Position of mass m_{1}  x_{1} = 0
  • Position of mass m_{2}  x_{2} = 3
  • Position of mass m_{3}  x_{3} = 6

Mathematically:

<em>Gravitational force on mass </em>m_{2}<em> due to mass </em>m_{1}<em> is given by </em>

F_{21} = G \frac{m_{1}.m_{2}}{(r_{21})^2}...................(1)

  • where: (r_{21})^2= the radial distance between masses m_{2} & m_{1}=3

Similarly, g<em>ravitational force on mass </em>m_{2}<em> due to mass </em>m_{3}<em> is given by </em>

F_{23} = G \frac{m_{3}.m_{2}}{(r_{23})^2}............................(2)

  • where: (r_{23})^2= the radial distance between masses m_{2} & m_{3}=3

Now, put the respective values in the above equations.

F_{21} = 6.67 \times 10^{-11 }\times \frac{1\times 3}{3^2}

F_{21} = 2.2233\times 10^{-11} N

Again,

F_{23} = 6.67 \times 10^{-11 }\times \frac{1\times 4}{3^2}

F_{23} = 2.9644\times 10^{-11} N

∵Mass m_{2} is in the middle of the masses m_{3} & m_{1} therefore the forces  F_{23} & F_{21} will attract them in radially opposite direction.

∴F_{net} = F_{23} -F_{21} \\\\F_{net} = 2.9644-2.2233\\\\F_{net} = 0.7411 N towards the mass m_{3}

Answer:

The magnitude of the net force on m_{2} is 7.411\times 10^{- 11}\ N

Solution:

As per the question:

m_{1} = 1\ kg

m_{2} = 3\ kg

m_{3} = 4\ kg

Respective positions of the above mentioned masses are:

x = 0 m

x = 3 m

x = 6 m

Now,

We know that the gravitational force between two masses separated by some distance is given by:

F_{G} = \frac{GMm}{x^{2}}

Therefore. the net gravitational force on m_{2} is given by:

F_{G, net} = F_{G,2-3} - F_{G, 1-2}

F_{G, net} = \frac{Gm_{2}m_{3}}{x^{2}} - \frac{Gm_{1}m_{2}}{x^{2}}

F_{G, net} = \frac{G}{x^{2}}(m_{2}m_{3} - m_{1}m_{2})

where

G = Gravitational constant

F_{G, net} = \frac{6.67\times 10^{- 11}}{3^{2}}(4\times 3 - 1\times 2)

F_{G, net} = 7.411\times 10^{- 11}\ N

How long does a player sit out of a game of handball for committing a second or third foul?
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

Walking’ - If a handball player takes more than three steps without dribbling (bouncing the ball) or holds the ball for more than 3 seconds without bouncing it, shooting or passing, then that is deemed ‘walking' and possession is lost.

'Double dribble’ - Handball players cannot receive the ball and bounce it, then hold the ball, and bounce it again. This is termed ‘double dribble’ and is against the rules.

By what factor must the amplitude of a sound wave be increased in order to increase the intensity by a factor of 9?a. 9 b. 2 c.
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

option D

Explanation:

given,

intensity\ \alpha \ (Amplitude)^2

increase the intensity by factor of 9

    I₁ = I₀

    I₂ = 9 I₀

now,

\dfrac{I_1}{I_2}=\dfrac{A_1^2}{A_2^2}

\dfrac{I_0}{9I_0}=(\dfrac{A_1}{A_2})^2

(\dfrac{A_1}{A_2})^2=\dfrac{1}{9}

\dfrac{A_1}{A_2}=\dfrac{1}{3}

      A₂ = 3 A₁

hence, amplitude increase with the factor of 3

so, the correct answer is option D

A material through which charges cannot move easily?
Naily [24]

Answer: A material that does not easily allow a charge to pass through it is called an Plastic and rubber are good insulators. Many types of electric wire are covered with plastic, which insulates well. The plastic allows a charge to be conducted from one end of the wire to the other, but not through the sides of the wire.

A fish inside the water 12cm below the surface looking up through the water sees the outside world contained in a circular horiz
serg [7]

Answer:

13.6 cm

Explanation:

From Snell's law:

n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂

In the air, n₁ = 1, and light from the horizon forms a 90° angle with the vertical, so sin θ₁ = sin 90° = 1.

Given n₂ = 4/3:

1 = 4/3 sin θ

sin θ = 3/4

If x is the radius of the circle, then sin θ is:

sin θ = x / √(x² + 12²)

sin θ = x / √(x² + 144)

Substituting:

3/4 = x / √(x² + 144)

9/16 = x² / (x² + 144)

9/16 x² + 81 = x²

81 = 7/16 x²

x ≈ 13.6
