The easiest way I know to explain it is this:
-- Take a flashlight and a ball into a dark room.
-- Turn on the flashlight and point it at the ball.
-- Half of the ball is lighted up by the flashlight, and the other half is dark.
-- There is no way you can turn or twist the ball to make more or less
than 50% of it lighted up and more or less than 50% of it dark.
<em>Everything</em> in the solar system ... as long as it's shaped like a ball ... is
half illuminated by the sun and half dark.
Answer:
The force of gravity
Explanation:
Gravity was studied, by early scientists such as Copernicus and others, Galileo was the first to ensure that planets moved according to a physical equation that depended on a force that caused celestial bodies to move and interact with each other. But years later Newton based on studies conducted deciphering what Galileo assumed, he was able to find the equation of the force of gravity in any body in the universe. This equation depends on the masses of the two interacting bodies, the distance between them and a constant, which I call universal gravitation constant.
Fg = gravity force [N]
G = universal gravitation constant = 6.67*10^(-11) [N*m^2/kg^2]
m1 = mass of the 1st body [kg]
m2 = mass of the 2nd body [kg]
r = distance between the bodies [meters]
Answer:
The magnitude of the force between the two parallel wires is 0.0111 N.
Explanation:
Given;
length of the two parallel wires, L = 42 m
distance between the two wires, r = 0.03 m
current in both wires, I₁, I₂ = 6.3 A
Therefore, the magnitude of the repulsive force between the two parallel wires is given by;
Therefore, the magnitude of the force between the two parallel wires is 0.0111 N.
Answer:
The centripetal acceleration changed by a factor of 0.5
Explanation:
Given;
first radius of the horizontal circle, r₁ = 500 m
speed of the airplane, v = 150 m/s
second radius of the airplane, r₂ = 1000 m
Centripetal acceleration is given as;
At constant speed, we will have;
a₂ = 0.5a₁
Therefore, the centripetal acceleration changed by a factor of 0.5
Answer:
a) t = 0.74s
b) D = 4.76m
c) Vf = 5.35m/s
Explanation:
The ball starts rolling when Vf = ωf*R.
We know that:
Vf = Vo - a*t
ωf = ωo + α*t
With a sum of forces on the ball:
With a sum of torque on the ball:
Replacing both accelerations:
t=0.74s
The distance will be:
Final velocity:
Vf=5.35m/s
