Answer:
F = 2.6692 x 10⁻⁹ N
Explanation:
Given,
The mass of the rock, m = 10 kg
The mass of the boulder, M = 100 kg
The distance between them, d = 5 m
The gravitational force between the two bodies is proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. It is given by the formula
<em> F = GMm/d² newton</em>
Where,
G - Universal gravitational constant
Substituting the given values,
F = 6.673 x 10⁻¹¹ x 100 x 10 / 5²
F = 2.6692 X 10⁻⁹ N
Hence, the force between the two bodies is, F = 2.6692 X 10⁻⁹ N
Answer: 996m/s
Explanation:
Formula for calculating velocity of wave in a stretched string is
V = √T/M where;
V is the velocity of wave
T is tension
M is the mass per unit length of the wire(m/L)
Since the second wire is twice as far apart as the first, it will be L2 = 2L1
Let V1 and V2 be the speed of the shorter and longer wire respectively
V1 = √T/M1... 1
V2 = √T/M2... 2
Since V1 = 249m/s, M1 = m/L1 M2 = m/L2 = m/2L1
The equations will now become
249 = √T/(m/L1) ... 3
V2 = √T/(m/2L1)... 4
From 3,
249² = TL1/m...5
From 4,
V2²= 2TL1/m... 6
Dividing equation 5 by 6 we have;
249²/V2² = TL1/m×m/2TL1
{249/V2}² = 1/2
249/V2 = (1/2)²
249/V2 = 1/4
V2 = 249×4
V2 = 996m/s
Therefore the speed of the wave on the longer wire is 996m/s
The position of the centre of gravity of an object affects its stability. The lower the centre of gravity (G) is, the more stable the object. The higher it is the more likely the object is to topple over if it is pushed. Racing cars have really low centres of gravity so that they can corner rapidly without turning over.
Increasing the area of the base will also increase the stability of an object, the bigger the area the more stable the object. Rugby players will stand with their feet well apart if they are standing and expect to be tackled.
Position and momentum.
This is Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle:
Δx Δp ≥ h ÷ 4π, where Δx is the change in position, Δp is the change in momentum, and h is Planck's Constant.
