N experiment is performed in deep space with two uniform spheres, one with mass 27.0 and the other with mass 107.0 . They have e

qual radii, = 0.10 . The spheres are released from rest with their centers a distance 41.0 apart. They accelerate toward each other because of their mutual gravitational attraction. You can ignore all gravitational forces other than that between the two spheres.
A) When their centers are a distance 26.0 apart, find the speed of the 27.0 sphere.

B) Find the speed of the sphere with mass 107.0 .

C) Find the magnitude of the relative velocity with which one sphere is approaching to the other.

D) How far from the initial position of the center of the 27.0 sphere do the surfaces of the two spheres collide?

Answer:

Explanation:

Apply the law of conservation of energy

KE_i+PE_i=KE_f+PE_f

Gm_1m_2[\frac{1}{r_f} -\frac{1}{r_1} ]=\frac{1}{2} (m_1v_1^2+m_2v_2^2)

from the law of conservation of the linear momentum

m_1v_1=m_2v_2

Therefore,

Gm_1m_2[\frac{1}{r_f} -\frac{1}{r_1} ]=\frac{1}{2} (m_1v_1^2+m_2v_2^2)

=\frac{1}{2} [m_1v_1^2+m_2[\frac{m_1v_1}{m_2} ]^2]\\\\=\frac{1}{2} [m_1v_1^2+\frac{m_1^2v_1^2}{m_2} ]\\\\=\frac{m_1v_1^2}{2} [\frac{m_1+m_2}{m_2} ]

v_1^2=[\frac{2Gm_2^2}{m_1+m_2} ][\frac{1}{r_f} -\frac{1}{r_1} ]

Substitute the values in the above result

v_1^2=[\frac{2Gm_2^2}{m_1+m_2} ][\frac{1}{r_f} -\frac{1}{r_1} ]

=[\frac{2(6.67\times 10^-^1^1)(107)^2}{27+107} ][\frac{1}{26} -\frac{1}{41}] \\\\=1.6038\times 10^-^1^0\\\\v_1=\sqrt{1.6038\times 106-^1^0} \\\\=1.2664 \times 10^-^5m/s

B)  the speed of the sphere with mass 107.0 kg is

v_2=\frac{m_1v_1}{m_2}

=[\frac{27}{107} ](1.2664 \times 10^-^5)\\\\=3.195\times 10^-^6m/s

C)  the magnitude of the relative velocity with which one sphere is

v_r=v_1+v_2\\\\=1.2664\times 10^-^5+3.195\times10^-^6\\\\=15.859\times10^-^6m/s

D) the distance of the centre is proportional to the acceleration

\frac{x_1}{x_2} =\frac{a_1}{a_2} \\\\=\frac{m_2}{m_1} \\\\=3.962

Thus,

x_1=3.962x_2

and

x_2=0.252x_1

When the sphere make contact with eachother

Therefore,

x_1+x_2+2r=41\\x_1+0,252x_1+2r=41\\1.252x_1+2r=41\\x_1=32.747-1.597r

And

x_1+x_2+2r=41\\3.962x_2+x_2+2r+41\\4.962x_2+2r=41\\x_2=8.262-0.403r

The point of contact of the sphere is

32.747-1.597r=8.262-0.403r\\\\r=\frac{24.485}{1.194} \\\\=20.506m

How much energy is required to raise the temperature of 50.0 grams of water 10.0 degree C? (Explain yourself answer in joules!)
maria [59]

The amount of energy needed is 2093 J

Explanation:

The amount of energy needed to increase the temperature of a substance by \Delta T is given by the equation

Q=mC\Delta T

where

m is the mass of the substance

C is its specific heat capacity

\Delta T is the increase in temperature

For the water in this problem, we have

m = 50.0 g = 0.050 kg

C=4186 J/g^{\circ}C (specific heat capacity of water)

\Delta T=10.0^{\circ}C

Therefore, the amount of energy needed is

Q=(0.050)(4186)(10)=2093 J

What would happen to the moon if there was no sun and earth ?
iragen [17]

Answer:

High tides would be much smaller than they are now, and low tides would be even lower. This is because the sun would be influencing the tides, not the moon; however, the sun has a weaker pull, which would decrease the tides. ... Winds could become much faster and much stronger without the moon.

Which of the following statements about the nuclear strong force is true?
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer: 2, the nuclear strong force drops to practically nothing at large distances.

Explanation: The protons and neutrons in the nucleus share subatomic particles called pions. This exchange is what keeps the protons and neutrons stuck together in the nucleus. Despite the strong force being the strongest force, it has a very small range. This is because pions have very short lifespans. So, the strong force would have literally no effect at large distances.

Hope that helped! :)
