DaniilM [7]3 years ago

7 0

Explanation:

According to the fundamental law of electrostatics, like charges which are ( only positive or only negative charges) repel while unlike charges which are ( positive and negative charges ) attract each other.

that is: ( +++++ ++++++) they repel

while ( +++++++ ———) they attract

If two point masses 1kg & 4kg are seperated by a distance of 2m. Magnitude of gravitational force exerted by 1kg on 4kg is ?

Aliun [14]

Answer:

F = G Newtons

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of 1st body = $1\:kg$
Mass of 2nd body = $4\:kg$

To Find:

Magnitude of gravitational force

Solution:

Here, we have a formula

$F=\dfrac{G.M_{1}.M_{2}}{r^{2}}$

<u>Substituting the values</u>

$\implies\:\:F = \dfrac{G(1)(4)}{2^{2}}$

$\implies\:\:F = \dfrac{4G}{4}$

$\implies\:\:F = \dfrac{\cancel{4}G}{\cancel{4}}$

$\implies\:\:\red{F = G}$

Know More:

The applied formula for the above solution is

${\boxed{F_{G}=\dfrac{G.M_{1}.M_{2}}{r^{2}}}}$

where,

F $_{G}$ = Gravitational force
G = Gravitational constant
M $_{1}$ = mass of 1st body
M $_{2}$ = mass of 2nd body
r = distance between two bodies

A long thin rod of mass M and length L is situated along the y axis with one end at the origin. A small spherical mass m1 is pla

Yuri [45]

Answer:

$= - 5.65\times 10^{-2} J$

Explanation:

Given data:

L =2.00 *10^4 m

d = 18*10^4 m

M = 18 *10^6 kg

m_1 = 8*10^6 kg

Gravitational energy is given as

$U =- G \frac{m_1 m_2}{r}$

mass per unit length is given as

$\sigma = \frac{M}{L} = \frac{18 \times 10^6}{2\times 10^4 m} = 900 kg/m$

calculating potential energy

$dU ==-G\int_{16\times 10^4}^{18\times 10^4} \frac{m_1 *dm}{r}$

$=-G\int_{16\times 10^4}^{18\times 10^4} \frac{m_1 *\sigma dr}{r}$

$=-G*m_1*\sigma\int_{16\times 10^4}^{18\times 10^4} \frac{dr}{r}$

$=-G*m_1*\sigma \left | ln r \right |_{16\times 10^4}^{18\times 10^4}$

$=-G*m_1*\sigma ln(1.125)$

$=-6.673 \times 10^{-11}*8*10^6*900*ln(1.125)$

$= - 5.65\times 10^{-2} J$

A car is stopped at a traffic light. When the light turns green at t=0, a truck with a constant speed passes the car with a 20m/

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

At $t = (70 / 3) \; {\rm s}$ (approximately $23.3 \; {\rm s}$ .)

Explanation:

Note that the acceleration of the car between $t = 0\; {\rm s}$ and $t = 20\; {\rm s}$ ( $\Delta t = 20\; {\rm s}$ ) is constant. Initial velocity of the car was $v_{0} = 0\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}$ , whereas $v_{1} = 35\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}$ at $t = 20\; {\rm s}\!$ . Hence, at $t = 20\; {\rm s}\!\!$ , this car would have travelled a distance of:

$\begin{aligned}x &= \frac{(v_{1} - v_{0})\, \Delta t}{2} \\ &= \frac{(35\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}} - 0\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}) \times (20\; {\rm s})}{2} \\ &= 350\; {\rm m}\end{aligned}$ .

At $t = 20\; {\rm s}$ , the truck would have travelled a distance of $x = v\, t = 20\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}} \times 20\; {\rm s} = 400\; {\rm m}$ .

In other words, at $t = 20\; {\rm s}$ , the truck was $400\; {\rm m} - 350\; {\rm m} = 50\; {\rm m}$ ahead of the car. The velocity of the car is greater than that of the truck by $35\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}} - 20\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}} = 15 \; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}$ . It would take another $(50\; {\rm m}) / (15\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}) = (10/3)\; {\rm s}$ before the car catches up with the truck.

Hence, the car would catch up with the truck at $t = (20 + (10/3))\; {\rm s} = (70 / 3)\; {\rm s}$ .

Consider a box sitting in the back of a pickup. The pickup accelerates to the right, and because the bed of the pickup is sticky

andreyandreev [35.5K]

The force would be coming from the right causing the box the lean/ slide to left, if it wasnt sticky.

If a force of 3000 N is applied to a large rock, but the rock does not move, how much work is done on the rock?

kkurt [141]

Answer:

No work was done.

W = 0

Explanation:

Work is said to be done whenever a force of one newton moves a body of one kilogram through a distance of one meter. Meaning the applied force has to move the body from a point of rest through certain distance.

Work = force × distance

So, in the case of this question, we only have the force been applied, but no distance was covered. Hence, no work was done.

W = 3000× 0 meter

W = 0
