According to the law of universal gravitation, any two objects are attracted to each other. The strength of the gravitational fo
rce depends on the masses of the objects and their distance from each other.
Many stars have planets around them. If there were no gravity attracting a planet to its star, the planet's motion would carry it away from the star. However, when this motion is balanced by the gravitational attraction to the star, the planet orbits the star.
Two solar systems each have a planet the same distance from the star. The planets have the same mass, but Planet A orbits a more massive star than Planet B.
Which of the following statements is true about the planets?
A.
Planet B is more attracted to its star than Planet A.
B.
Planet B will keep orbiting its star longer than Planet A.
C.
Planet A orbits its star faster than Planet B.
D.
Planet A has a longer year than Planet B.

Answer:
a) 4.45 m/s
b) 0.9 seconds
Explanation:
t = Time taken
u = Initial velocity
v = Final velocity
s = Displacement
a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²
a) The vertical speed when the player leaves the ground is 4.45 m/s
Time taken to reach the maximum height is 0.45 seconds
Time taken to reach the ground from the maximum height is 0.45 seconds
b) Time the player stayed in the air is 0.45+0.45 = 0.9 seconds
Weight of the carriage
Normal force
Frictional force
Acceleration
Explanation:
We have to look into the FBD of the carriage.
Horizontal forces and Vertical forces separately.
To calculate Weight we know that both the mass of the baby and the carriage will be added.
- So Weight(W)
To calculate normal force we have to look upon the vertical component of forces, as Normal force is acting vertically.We have weight which is a downward force along with , force of
acting vertically downward.Both are downward and Normal is upward so Normal force
- Normal force (N)
- Frictional force (f)
To calculate acceleration we will use Newtons second law.
That is Force is product of mass and acceleration.
We can see in the diagram that and
component of forces.
So Fnet = Fy(Horizontal) - f(friction)
- Acceleration (a) =
So we have the weight of the carriage, normal force,frictional force and acceleration.
