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

Strike441 [17]

The correct choice is

B. sublimation, then condensation

Sublimation is the name of the process where a solid directly converts into gas on heating. on heating solid crystals of iodine directly change into gas. hence this is sublimation.

condensation is the process where gas is converted into liquid on cooling.

here iodine gas is being converted into droplets on reducing the temperature. hence this is condensation.
