Calculate the force of gravity on the 0.60- kg mass if it were 1.3×107 m above Earth's surface (that is, if it were three Earth

nignag [31]

The gravitational force between two objects is given by:
$F=G \frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}$
where
G is the gravitational constant
m1 and m2 are the masses of the two objects
r is their separation

In this problem, the first object has a mass of $m_1=0.60 kg$ , while the second "object" is the Earth, with mass $m_2=5.97 \cdot 10^{24}kg$ . The distance of the object from the Earth's center is $r=1.3 \cdot 10^7 m$ ; if we substitute these numbers into the equation, we find the force of gravity exerted by the Earth on the mass of 0.60 kg:
$F=G \frac{m_1m_2}{r^2}=(6.67\cdot 10^{-11}) \frac{(0.60 kg)(5.97 \cdot 10^{24} kg)}{(1.3 \cdot 10^7 m)^2}= 1.41 N$

A transport truck pulls on a trailer with a force of 600N [E]. The trailer pulls on the transport truck with a force

kramer

These forces form a force pair. Use Newton's third law, and you see that the trailer pulls back at with the same force. The answer is d.

A charged wire of negligible thickness has length 2L units and has a linear charge density λ. Consider the electric field E-vect

Stels [109]

Answer:

$E=2K\lambda d\dfrac{L }{d^2\sqrt{L^2+d^2}}$

Explanation:

Given that

Length= 2L

Linear charge density=λ

Distance= d

K=1/(4πε)

The electric field at point P

$E=2K\int_{0}^{L}\dfrac{\lambda }{r^2}dx\ sin\theta$

$sin\theta =\dfrac{d}{\sqrt{d^2+x^2}}$

$r^2=d^2+x^2$

So

$E=2K\lambda d\int_{0}^{L}\dfrac{dx }{(x^2+d^2)^{\frac{3}{2}}}$

Now by integrating above equation

$E=2K\lambda d\dfrac{L }{d^2\sqrt{L^2+d^2}}$

To visit your favorite ice cream shop, you must travel 490 m west on Main Street and then 920 m south on Division Street. Suppos

topjm [15]

Answer:

a) The magnitude of your average velocity during the 121 s is 8.61 m/s.

b) The direction of the average velocity is 61.9° south of west.

c) Your average speed during the trip is 11.7 m/s

Explanation:

Hi there!

a) The average velocity (a.v) is calculated as the displacement divided by the time it took to do such a displacement.

The displacement is calculated as the distance between the initial position and the final position:

Displacement = Δ(x,y) = final position - initial position

Let's consider that your initial position is the origin of our frame of reference and let's also consider that west and south are positive directions (+x and +y respectively). Then the displacement vector will be:

Δ(x,y) = final positon - initial position

Δ(x,y) = (490, 920) m - (0, 0) m = (490, 920) m

The average velocity will be:

a.v = Δ(x,y) / t

a.v = (490, 920) m / 121 s

a.v = (4.05, 7.60) m/s

The magnitude of the average velocity is calculated as follows:

The magnitude of your average velocity during the 121 s is 8.61 m/s.

b) To find the direction of the average velocity, we have to use trigonometric rules of right triangles. Notice that the x and y-components of the average velocity (vx and vy) together with the average velocity vector (v), with magnitude 8.61 m/s, form a triangle (see figure).

Also, notice that v is the hypotenuse of the triangle and that vx is the side adjacent to the angle θ while vy is the side opposite to θ.

Using trigonometry, we can calculate the value of the angle θ:

cos θ = adjacent side / hypotenuse

cos θ = vx / v

cos θ = 4.05 m/s / 8.61 m/s

θ = 61.9°

The direction of the average velocity is 61.9° south of west.

c) The average speed (a.s) is calculated as the traveled distance (d) divided by the time it took to cover that distance (t). In total, you traveled (490 m + 920 m) 1410 m in 121 s, then the average speed will be:

a.s = d/t

a.s = 1410 m / 121 s

a.s = 11.7 m/s

Your average speed during the trip is 11.7 m/s
