11. Explain why in terms of gravity and air resistance and the 2nd law, objects in free fall regardless of mass hit at the same

time?
Physics

Alchen [17]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

When an object is dropped, it accelerates toward the center of Earth. Newton's second law states that a net force on an object is responsible for its acceleration. If air resistance is negligible, the net force on a falling object is the gravitational force.

No.  I do not agree with Stefan.  Quite the contrary.  I disagree
with his description of "<span>angle of incidence" as the angle between
the surface of the mirror and the incoming ray. 

The correct description of "angle of incidence" is </span><span>the angle between
the NORMAL TO the surface of the mirror and the incoming ray. 

Thus, the true angle of incidence is the complement of the angle that

Show that rigid body rotation near the Galactic center is consistent with a spherically symmetric mass distribution of constant
irakobra [83]

To solve this problem we will use the concepts related to gravitational acceleration and centripetal acceleration. The equality between these two forces that maintains the balance will allow to determine how the rigid body is consistent with a spherically symmetric mass distribution of constant density. Let's start with the gravitational acceleration of the Star, which is

a_g = \frac{GM}{R^2}

Here

M = \text{Mass inside the Orbit of the star}

R = \text{Orbital radius}

G = \text{Universal Gravitational Constant}

Mass inside the orbit in terms of Volume and Density is

M =V \rho

Where,

V = Volume

\rho =Density

Now considering the volume of the star as a Sphere we have

V = \frac{4}{3} \pi R^3

Replacing at the previous equation we have,

M = (\frac{4}{3}\pi R^3)\rho

Now replacing the mass at the gravitational acceleration formula we have that

a_g = \frac{G}{R^2}(\frac{4}{3}\pi R^3)\rho

a_g = \frac{4}{3} G\pi R\rho

For a rotating star, the centripetal acceleration is caused by this gravitational acceleration.  So centripetal acceleration of the star is

a_c = \frac{4}{3} G\pi R\rho

At the same time the general expression for the centripetal acceleration is

a_c = \frac{\Theta^2}{R}

Where \Theta is the orbital velocity

Using this expression in the left hand side of the equation we have that

\frac{\Theta^2}{R} = \frac{4}{3}G\pi \rho R^2

\Theta = (\frac{4}{3}G\pi \rho R^2)^{1/2}

\Theta = (\frac{4}{3}G\pi \rho)^{1/2}R

Considering the constant values we have that

\Theta = \text{Constant} \times R

\Theta \propto R

As the orbital velocity is proportional to the orbital radius, it shows the rigid body rotation of stars near the galactic center.

So the rigid-body rotation near the galactic center is consistent with a spherically symmetric mass distribution of constant density

A flat uniform circular disk (r= 2.00m,
dusya [7]

Incomplete question.The Complete question is here

A flat uniform circular disk (radius = 2.00 m, mass = 1.00 ✕ 102 kg) is initially stationary. The disk is free to rotate in the horizontal plane about a friction less axis perpendicular to the center of the disk. A 40.0-kg person, standing 1.25 m from the axis, begins to run on the disk in a circular path and has a tangential speed of 2.00 m/s relative to the ground.

a.) Find the resulting angular speed of the disk (in rad/s) and describe the direction of the rotation.

b.) Determine the time it takes for a spot marking the starting point to pass again beneath the runner's feet.

Answer:

(a)ω = 1 rad/s

(b)t = 2.41 s

Explanation:

(a) initial angular momentum = final angular momentum  

0 = L for disk + L............... for runner

0 = Iω² - mv²r ...................they're opposite in direction

0 = (MR²/2)(ω²) - mv²r ................where is ω is angular speed which is required in part (a) of question

0 = [(1.00×10²kg)(2.00 m)² / 2](ω²) - (40.0 kg)(2.00 m/s)²(1.25 m)

0=200ω²-200

200=200ω²

ω = 1 rad/s

b.)

lets assume the "starting point" is a point marked on the disk.

The person's angular speed is  

v/r = (2.00 m/s) / (1.25 m) = 1.6 rad/s

As the person and the disk are moving in opposite directions, the person will run part of a revolution and the turning disk would complete the whole revolution.

(angle) + (angle disk turns) = 2π

(1.6 rad/s)(t) + ωt = 2π

t[1.6 rad/s + 1 rad/s] = 2π

t = 2.41 s

NEED ANSWER ASAP!!! Angela has a bucket of mass 2 kg tied to a string. She places a drinking glass of mass 0.5 kg in the bucket.
Schach [20]

a. The free-body diagram for the glass when it is at the top of the circle is attached below.

b. The equation for the net force on the glass at the top of the circle in terms of w, Fn, m, v, and r is mg x g + N -  mg x Vtop² /R =0

c. The glass will fall out of the bucket if the normal force between the glass and bucket equals zero. The speed with which she spin the bucket to prevent this from happening is 3.83 m/s.

d. The string will break if the tension on it is more than 100 N. The range of speeds can  prevent the string from breaking is 3.83< Vtop<4.99 m/s

<h3>What is Net force?</h3>

When two or more forces are acting on the system of objects, then the to attain equilibrium, net force must be zero.

Given, Angela has a bucket of mass 2 kg tied to a string. She places a drinking glass of mass 0.5 kg in the bucket. She spins the bucket in a vertical circle of radius 1.5 m. She must swing the bucket to keep the glass from falling out.

a. The free body diagram of the bucket and glass is attached below.

b. Bucket will undergo centrifugal force

Fb = mVtop² /R

From the equilibrium of forces, we have

For bucket,

T +mb xg - N =  mb x Vtop² /R..............(1)

For glass,

mg x g + N =  mg x Vtop² /R..............(2)

Thus, this is the net force equation on the glass.

c. On adding both the equations. we have

T + (mb + mg) xg = (mb + mg) Vtop² /R

Substituting the values, T = 0 and from the question, we get

0 + (2+0.5) 9.81 = (2+0.5)(Vtop²/0.5)

Vtop = 3.83 m/s

Thus, the speed of spin to prevent glass from falling out is 3.83 m/s

d. The string will break if the tension on it is more than 100 N

100 + (2+0.5) 9.81 = (2+0.5)(Vtop²/0.5)

Vtop = 4.99 m/s

Thus, the range of velocity is  3.83< Vtop<4.99 m/s

When a hammer thrower releases her ball, she is aiming to maximize the distance from the starting ring. Assume she releases the
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

The angular velocity is 15.37 rad/s

Solution:

As per the question:

\theta = 54.6^{\circ}

Horizontal distance, x = 30.1 m

Distance of the ball from the rotation axis is its radius, R = 1.15 m

Now,

To calculate the angular velocity:

Linear velocity, v = \sqrt{\frac{gx}{sin2\theta}}

v = \sqrt{\frac{9.8\times 30.1}{sin2\times 54.6}}

v = \sqrt{\frac{9.8\times 30.1}{sin2\times 54.6}}

v = \sqrt{\frac{294.98}{sin109.2^{\circ}}} = 17.67\ m/s

Now,

The angular velocity can be calculated as:

v = \omega R

Thus

\omega = \frac{v}{R} = \frac{17.67}{1.15} = 15.37\ rad/s
