Does the weight of a vehicle get heavier with speed? & why?

Physics

Julli [10]4 years ago

I guess technically it does. 

But the only reason I know of that it should is the relativistic increase
of mass with speed ... that's why we never notice the increase at
everyday speeds.

The effect gets larger at higher speeds.  For example, if the car is
cruising through the neighborhood at 6.71 million miles per hour
(1% the speed of light), then its mass, and therefore its weight,
is 0.005% more than when it's sitting still at a red light.

Now, if the driver were to put the pedal to the metal and open 'er up
to 10% the speed of light, then the car's mass (and the driver's mass
too) would increase to a whopping 0.5% more than its 'rest mass'.

So you would definitely have to say that the vehicle does get heavier
as it speeds up.

The force between the two objects is 19.73 nN.

<u>Explanation: </u>

Any force acting between two objects tends to be directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the two objects. And this kind of attraction force between two objects is termed as gravitational force.

So if we consider M_{1} and M_{2} as the masses of both objects and let d be the distance of separation of two objects. Then the force between the two objects can be determined as below:

                      \text {Gravitational force}=\frac{G \times M_{1} \times M_{2}}{d^{2}}

As gravitational constant G=6.67 \times 10^{-11} \mathrm{m}^{3} \mathrm{kg}^{-1} \mathrm{s}^{-2}, M_{1} = 20 kg and  M_{2} = 100 kg, while d = 2.6 m, then

                    \text {Gravitational force}=\frac{6.67 \times 10^{-11} \times 20 \times 100}{(2.6)^{2}}=\frac{6.67 \times 20 \times 10^{-9}}{6.76}

Thus, we get finally,

                   \text {Gravitational force}=19.73 \times 10^{-9} \mathrm{N}

As we know, nano denoted by letter 'n' equals to 10^{-9}

So the force acting between two objects is 19.73 nN.

if a man hits a golf ball (0.2 kg) which accelerates at a rate of 20 m/s squared. what amount of force acted on the ball?
kkurt [141]

F = ma

We have mass = 0.2kg

and acceleration = 20 m/s^2

So..

F = (0.2)(20)

F = 4 N
