In the equation for the gravitational force between two objects, which quantity must be squared?

Physics
1 answer:
bezimeni [28]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

d

Explanation:

The quantity that must be squared in the equation of gravitational force is distance d.

According to the universal gravitational law, the square of the distance between two objects is inversely proportional to the force of gravity.

  • Therefore, the quantity to be squared is d

The formula is given as:

  Fg  = \frac{G m_{1} m_{2} }{d^{2} }  

So d is the quantity that must be squared

A small box of mass m1 is sitting on a board of mass m2 and length L. The board rests on a frictionless horizontal surface. The
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

The constant force with least magnitude that must be applied to the board in order to pull the board out from under the box is \left( {{m_1} + {m_2}} \right){\mu _{\rm{s}}}

Explanation:

The Newton’s second law states that the net force on an object is the product of mass of the object and final acceleration of the object. The expression of newton’s second law is,

\sum {F = ma}

Here, is the sum of all the forces on the object, mm is mass of the object, and aa is the acceleration of the object.

The expression for static friction over a horizontal surface is,

F_{\rm{f}}} \leq {\mu _{\rm{s}}}mg

Here, {\mu _{\rm{s}}} is the coefficient of static friction, mm is mass of the object, and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

Use the expression of static friction and solve for maximum static friction for box of mass {m_1}

Substitute  for in the expression of maximum static friction {F_{\rm{f}}} = {\mu _{\rm{s}}}mg

{F_{\rm{f}}} = {\mu _{\rm{s}}}{m_1}g

Use the Newton’s second law for small box and solve for minimum acceleration aa to pull the box out.

Substitute  for , [/tex]{m_1}[/tex] for in the equation .

{F_{\rm{f}}} = {m_1}a

Substitute {\mu _{\rm{s}}}{m_1}g for {F_{\rm{f}}} in the equation {F_{\rm{f}}} = {m_1}a

{\mu _{\rm{s}}}{m_1}g = {m_1}a

Rearrange for a.

a = {\mu _{\rm{s}}}g

The minimum acceleration of the system of two masses at which box starts sliding can be calculated by equating the pseudo force on the mass with the maximum static friction force.

The pseudo force acts on in the direction opposite to the motion of the board and the static friction force on this mass acts in the direction opposite to the pseudo force. If these two forces are cancelled each other (balanced), then the box starts sliding.

Use the Newton’s second law for the system of box and the board.

Substitute for for in the equation .

{F_{\min }} = \left( {{m_1} + {m_2}} \right)a

Substitute for in the above equation .

{F_{\min }} = \left( {{m_1} + {m_2}} \right){\mu _{\rm{s}}}g

The constant force with least magnitude that must be applied to the board in order to pull the board out from under the box is \left( {{m_1} + {m_2}} \right){\mu _{\rm{s}}}g

There is no friction between the board and the surface. So, the force required to accelerate the system with the minimum acceleration to slide the box over the board is equal to total mass of the board and box multiplied by the acceleration of the system.

Choose true or false for each statement regarding a parallel plate capacitor.. The voltage of a disconnected charged capacitor i
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

Explanation:

The voltage of a disconnected charged capacitor increases when the plate area is decreased.

When plate area decreases , capacitance C decreases , but charge Q remains constant .

Q = C V where C is capacitance and V is voltage .

when C decreases , V increases for keeping Q constant .

So the statement is true.

The electric field is dependent on the charge density on the plates.

This statement is true .

The voltage of a connected charged capacitor remains the same when the plate area is decreased .

For a connected capacitor , V or voltage is constant which is equal to voltage of charging battery .

So the statement is true .

A5.0 kg TNT explosive, initially at rest, explodes into two pieces. One of the pieces weighing 2.0 kg flies off to
nordsb [41]

Answer:

v = 24 m/s, rightwards

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of TBT explosive = 5 kg

It explodes into two pieces.

One of the pieces weighing 2.0 kg flies off to  the left at 36 m/s. Let left be negative and right be positive.

The law of conservation of momentum holds here. Let v be the final speed of the remaining piece. So,

5\times 0=2\times (-36)+3\times v\\\\-72=-3v\\\\v=24\ m/s

So, the final speed of the remaining piece is 24 m/s and it is in the right direction.

Coherent light of frequency 6.37×1014 Hz passes through two thin slits and falls on a screen 88.0 cm away. You observe that the
IgorC [24]

Answer:

The distance between the two slits is 40.11 μm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Frequency f= 6.37\times10^{14}\ Hz

Distance of the screen l = 88.0 cm

Position of the third order y =3.10 cm

We need to calculate the wavelength

Using formula of wavelength

\lambda=\dfrac{c}{f}

where, c = speed of light

f = frequency

Put the value into the formula

\lambda=\dfrac{3\times10^{8}}{6.37\times10^{14}}

\lambda=471\ nm

We need to calculate the distance between the two slits

m\times \lambda=d\sin\theta

d =\dfrac{m\times\lambda}{\sin\theta}

Where, m = number of fringe

d = distance between the two slits

Here, \sin\theta =\dfrac{y}{l}

Put the value into the formula

d=\dfrac{3\times471\times10^{-9}\times88.0\times10^{-2}}{3.10\times10^{-2}}

d=40.11\times10^{-6}\ m

d = 40.11\ \mu m

Hence, The distance between the two slits is 40.11 μm.
