Calculate the force it would take to accelerate a 50 kg bike at a rate of 3 m/s2.

Two particles, each of mass m, are initially at rest very far apart.Obtain an expression for their relative speed of approach at

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

$|\Delta v |=\sqrt{\frac{4Gm}{d} }$

Explanation:

Consider two particles are initially at rest.

Therefore,

the kinetic energy of the particles is zero.

That initial K.E. = 0

The relative velocity with which both the particles are approaching each other is Δv and their reduced masses are

$\mu= \frac{m_1m_2}{m_1+m_2}$

now, since both the masses have mass m

therefore,

$\mu= \frac{m^2}{2m}$

= m/2

The final K.E. of the particles is

$KE_{final}=\frac{1}{2}\times \mu\times \Delta v^2$

Distance between two particles is d and the gravitational potential energy between them is given by

$PE_{Gravitational}= \frac{Gmm}{d}$

By law of conservation of energy we have

$KE_{initial}+KE_{final}= PE_{gravitaional}$

Now plugging the values we get

$0+\frac{1}{2}\frac{m}{2}\Delta v^2= -\frac{Gmm}{d}$

$|\Delta v |=\sqrt{\frac{4Gm}{d} }$

$=\sqrt{\frac{Gm}{d} }$

This the required relation between G,m and d

“Is it correct to say that a radio wave can be considered a low-frequency light wave?

klio [65]

It's weird but technically correct to say that a radio wave can be considered a low-frequency light wave. Radio and light are both electromagnetic waves. The only difference is that radio waves have much much much longer wavelengths, and much much much lower frequencies, than light waves have. But they're both the same physical phenomenon.

However, a radio wave CAN'T also be considered to be a sound wave. These two things are as different as two waves can be.

-- Radio is an electromagnetic wave. Sound is a mechanical wave.

-- Radio waves travel more than 800 thousand times faster than sound waves do.

-- Radio waves are transverse waves. Sound waves are longitudinal waves.

-- Radio waves can travel through empty space. Sound waves need material stuff to travel through.

-- Radio waves can be detected by radio, TV, and microwave receivers. Sound waves can't.

-- Sound waves can be detected by our ears. Radio waves can't.

-- Sound waves can be generated by talking, or by hitting a frying pan with a spoon. Radio waves can't.

-- Radio waves can be generated by an alternating current flowing through an isolated wire. Sound waves can't.

nadezda [96]

Answer:

distance when the weight is 8 kg is 26.66 cm

Explanation:

given data

distance d2 = 10 cm

weight w2 = 3 kg

weight w1 = 8 kg

to find out

distance when the weight is 8 kg

solution

we consider here distance d1 when weight is 8 kg

so equation will be

d1/d2 = w1/w2

d/10 = 8/ 3

so d = 8/3 × 10

so d = 26.66

distance when the weight is 8 kg is 26.66 cm
