Answer:

$F=3.37\times 10^{-8}\ N$

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of student 1, m₁ = 65 kg

Mass of student 2, m₂ = 70 kg

The distance between the students, d = 3 m

We need to find the magnitude of the gravitational force between the two students. The formula for the magnitude of the gravitational force between two masses is given by :

$F=G\dfrac{m_1m_2}{d^2}\\\\F=6.67\times 10^{-11}\times \dfrac{65\times 70}{(3)^2}\\F=3.37\times 10^{-8}\ N$

So, the gravitational force between the two students is $3.37\times 10^{-8}\ N$ .

The density of gasoline is 730 kg/m3 at 0°C. Its average coefficient of volume expansion is 9.60 10-4(°C)−1. Assume 1.00 gal of

Answer: 0.4911 kg

Explanation:

We have the following data:

$\rho_{0\°C}= 730 kg/m^{3}$ is the density of gasoline at $0\°C$

$\beta=9.60(10)^{-4} \°C^{-1}$ is the average coefficient of volume expansion

We need to find the extra kilograms of gasoline.

So, firstly we need to transform the volume of gasoline from gallons to $m^{3}$ :

$V=8.50 gal \frac{0.00380 m^{3}}{1 gal}=0.0323 m^{3}$ (1)

Knowing density is given by: $\rho=\frac{m}{V}$ , we can find the mass $m_{1}$ of 8.50 gallons:

$m_{1}=\rho_{0\°C}V$

$m_{1}=(730 kg/m^{3})(0.0323 m^{3})=23.579 kg$ (2)

Now, we have to calculate the factor $f$ by which the volume of gasoline is increased with the temperature, which is given by:

$f=(1+\beta(T_{f}-T_{o}))$ (3)

Where $T_{o}=0\°C$ is the initial temperature and $T_{f}=21.7\°C$ is the final temperature.

$f=(1+9.60(10)^{-4} \°C^{-1}(21.7\°C-0\°C))$ (4)

$f=1.020832$ (5)

With this, we can calculate the density of gasoline at $21.7\°C$ :

$\rho_{21.7\°C}=730 kg/m^{3} f=(730 kg/m^{3})(1.020832)$

$\rho_{21.7\°C}=745.207 kg/m^{3}$ (6)

Now we can calculate the mass of gasoline at this temperature:

$m_{2}=\rho_{21.7\°C}V$ (7)

$m_{2}=(745.207 kg/m^{3})(0.0323 m^{3})$ (8)

$m_{2}=24.070 kg$ (9)

And finally calculate the mass difference $\Delta m$ :

$\Delta m=m_{2}-m_{1}=24.070 kg-23.579 kg$ (10)

$\Delta m=0.4911 kg$ (11) This is the extra mass of gasoline

From a balistics pendulum as an example, which is probably where you are at... Triangles, L = 12m, x_0 = 1.6, we need to find the angle (theta) sin (theta) = 1.6/12 = 0.1333.... theta = ArcSin(0.1333...) = 0.1337 rad Then, this is the height that the mass vertically raises in it's arc y_2 = L-L*cos(theta) = 0.107 m use y_2 in a kinematic swing... v=sqrt(2gy_2)=1.45m/s

What are the factors that affect ocean density? Please help!!

Paul [167]

The density of seawater plays a vital role in causing ocean currents and circulating heat because of the fact that dense water sinks below less dense. long story short, seawater is the problem because its denser than pure water.

Is there a frame of reference one can go into that seems to eliminate gravity as Newton described it?

andriy [413]

Answer:

Yes such a frame exists: a free-fall (free-float frame) frame. This frame of reference is subject only to gravity and no forces such as electromagnetic forces or nuclear forces.

If a projectile fired beneath the water, straight up, breaks through the surface at a speed of 13m/s, to what height above the w

OlgaM077 [116]

Well if you had either the velocity or distance traveled i could tell you. But since you haven't all i can say for sure is that the water slowed the bullet down to 13m/s so lets say you knew the distance you would calculate how many meters it traveled and you would have your answer because in this situation, meters (height) =how many seconds spent going into the air.
