An object in the shape of a thin ring has radius a and mass M. A uniform sphere with mass m and radius R is placed with its cent

er at a distance x to the right of the center of the ring, along a line through the center of the ring, and perpendicular to its plane.
What is the gravitational force that the sphere exerts on the ring-shaped object?
Express your answer in terms of the variables a, M, m, R, x, and appropriate constants.

Answer:

F = GMmx/[√(a² + x²)]³

Explanation:

The force dF on the mass element dm of the ring due to the sphere of mass, m at a distance L from the mass element is

dF = GmdM/L²

Since the ring is symmetrical, the vertical components of this force cancel out leaving the horizontal components to add.

So, the horizontal components add from two symmetrically opposite mass elements dM,

Thus, the horizontal component of the force is

dF' = dFcosФ where Ф is the angle between L and the x axis

dF' = GmdMcosФ/L²

L² = a² + x² where a = radius of ring and x = distance of axis of ring from sphere.

L = √(a² + x²)

cosФ = x/L

dF' = GmdMcosФ/L²

dF' = GmdMx/L³

dF' = GmdMx/[√(a² + x²)]³

Integrating both sides we have

∫dF' = ∫GmdMx/[√(a² + x²)]³

∫dF' = Gm∫dMx/[√(a² + x²)]³    ∫dM = M

F = GmMx/[√(a² + x²)]³  

F = GMmx/[√(a² + x²)]³

So, the force due to the sphere of mass m is

F = GMmx/[√(a² + x²)]³

Answer:

a) V = 0.82m/s

b) Vmax = 0.985 m/s

Explanation:

By conservation of energy we know that:

Eo = Ef    \frac{m*V^{2}}{2}-\frac{K*Xmax^{2}}{2}=-Ff*Xmax

Solving for V we get:

V = 0.82 m/s

To find the maximum speed we will do the same to an intermediate point where the compression is X and the distance for the work donde by frictions is given by (Xmax - X) = (0.28m - X):

\frac{m*Vmax^{2}}{2}+\frac{K*X^{2}}{2}-\frac{K*Xmax^{2}}{2}=-Ff*(Xmax-X)

Then we have to solve for V, derive and equal zero in order to find position X. After solving the derivative we get:

X = 0.1m    Replacing this value into the equation for Vmax:

Vmax = 0.985m/s

A police radar gun uses X-band microwave radiation at a frequency of 12.2 GHz. Microwaves travel at the speed of light, or 3x108
quester [9]

Answer:

A police radar gun uses X-band microwave radiation at a frequency of 13.1 GHz. Microwaves travel at the speed of light, or 3x108 m/s. Since the frequency shift will be small for practical car speeds and difficult to detect, the shifted frequency is compared to the original frequency, and the resulting beat frequency is used to determine the speed of the car.

a.) If Michael is traveling at 29 m/s, what is the resulting beat frequency that the radar gun detects?

ANSWER: 2533 Hz
