Gravitational force acts on all objects in proportion to their masses. Why, then, doesn’t a heavy object fall faster than a ligh

Its becuase weight and mass are different. Even if an object weighs more than another object it might not have more mass than the other object.

spin [16.1K]

Answer:

The answer to your question is below

Explanation:

Data 1

mass 1 = 250

mass 2 = 250 kg

gravity constant = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg²

distance = 8 m

Formula

F = G\frac{m1m2}{r^{2} }

Substitution

F = 6.67 x 10^{-11} \frac{250 x 250}{8^{2} }

Result

F = 0.000000065 N

Data 2

mass 1 = 1000 kg

mass 2 = 1000 kg

distance = 5 m

Substitution

F = 6.67 x 10^{-11} \frac{1000 x 1000 }{5^{2} }

Result

F = 0.000002667 N

A 1.31 kg object is attached to a horizontal spring of force constant 2.70 N/cm and is started oscillating by pulling it 6.20 cm
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

a) The change in energy is the difference between the final energy and the initial energy.

ΔE (energy change) = Ef (final energy) - Ei (initial energy)

\Delta E=\frac{1}{2}kA_f^2 -\frac{1}{2}kA_i^2\\\\k=force\ constant=2.7\ N/cm=270\ N/m, A_f=final\ dispalacment= 3.7\ cm=0.037\ m,\\ A_i=initial \ displacement = 6.2\ cm=0.062\ m\\\\Hence:\\\\\Delta E=\frac{1}{2}(270)(0.037)^2 -\frac{1}{2}(270)(0.062)^2\\\\\Delta E=-0.334 \ J

The negative sign shows that energy is lost to the environment. Hence 0.334 J is lost to the environment.

b) According to the law of conservation of energy, energy cannot be created or destroyed but transformed from one form to another.

The oscillating object loses energy due to wind resistance, friction between the spring and the object. Given that the air is frictionless, hence the energy loss is due to friction which is converted to heat.

Reil [10]

Answer:

Speed; v = 17 m/s

Explanation:

We are given;

Radius; r = 110m

Angle; θ = 15°

Now, we know that in circular motion,

v² = rg•tanθ

Thus,

v = √(rg•tanθ)

Where,

v is velocity

r is radius

g is acceleration due to gravity

θ is the angle

Thus,

v = √(rg•tanθ) = √(110 x 9.8•tan15)

v = √(288.85)

v = 17 m/s
