Why the gaps left between succesive rails on a railway tracks

1 answer:

7 0

Small gaps which function as expansion joints are deliberately left between the rail ends to allow for expansion of the rails in hot weather. ... Because of these small gaps, when trains pass over jointed tracks they make a "clickety-clack" sound.

A space probe is directly between two moons of a planet. If it is twice as far from moon A as it is from moon B, but the net for

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

c. Moon A is four times as massive as moon B

Explanation:

Let's assume the:

mass of the object = $m\,kilogram$

mass of the moon A = $M_A\,kilogram$

mass of the moon B = $M_B\,kilogram$

distance between the center of masses of the object and moon B = $r\,meters$

According to the given condition the object is twice as far from moon A as it is from moon B

∴distance between the center of masses of the object and moon B = $2r\,meters$

<u>As we know, gravitational force of attraction is given by:</u>

$F=G\frac{m_1.m_2}{r^2}$

<em>According to the condition</em>

Force on m due to $M_B=$ Force on m due to $M_A$

$G\frac{m.M_A}{(2r)^2} =G\frac{m.M_B}{(r)^2}$

$\frac{M_A}{4r^2} =\frac{M_B}{r^2}$

$M_A=4M_B$
