Newtons law of garvitation is known as universal law. Why​

Physics
1 answer:
xeze [42]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

It is called so because it is applicable on all bodies having mass, and the bodies will be governed by the same law, that is newton's law of gravitation. Thus, as it is applicable universally, it is called as universal law.

Setler [38]

Answer:

a)  M = 4,997 10²⁰ kg ,  b)   T = 1.43 10³ s

Explanation:

a) This exercise should be solved in several parts, let's start by calculating the acceleration of gravity of this planet from kinematics

          v = v₀ - a t

As it indicates that there is no atmosphere, the friction force is zero and the initial and final velocity have the same module, but the opposite direction

         a = (v₀ - v) / t

         a = (15 - (-15)) /9.00 = 30/9

         a = 3.33 m / s²

Now we use Newton's second law where force is the force of universal attraction

          F = m a

         G m M / r² = m a

         M = a r² / G

Let's calculate

         M = 3.33 (1.00 10⁵)² / 6.67 10⁻¹¹

         M = 4,997 10²⁰ kg

b) The period of the ship's orbit

In this case we have a centripetal acceleration

The radius of the orbit is the radius of the plant plus the height of the ship from the surface

         R = R_{m} + h

         R = 1 10⁵ + 2.00 10⁴

         R = 12 10⁴ m

         F = m a

        G m M / R² = m a

Centripetal acceleration is

         a = v² / R

The orbit is circular therefore the velocity module is constant, so we can use the equation of uniform motion, where the distance is the length of the orbit, for a circle

        d = 2π R

        v = d / t

        v = 2π R / T

Let's replace

        G m M / R² = m (2π R / T)² / R

        G M = R³ 4π² / T²

        T² = 4π² R³ / G M

       T² = (4π² (12 10⁴)³ / (6.67 10⁻¹¹ 4,997 10²⁰)

       T² = 6.82 10¹⁶ / 3.33 10¹⁰

       T = √ (2,048 10⁶)

       T = 1.43 10³ s

47. A car travels 85 km in the first half hour of a trip. The car continues to travel for 2 more hours and travels 200 km. What
Otrada [13]

Answer: 114 km/h

Explanation:

The formula for determining average speed is expressed as

Average speed = total distance/total time

The car travels 85 km in the first half hour of a trip. The car continues to travel for 2 more hours and travels 200 km. It means that the total distance that the car travels is

85 + 200 = 285 km

The total time spent by the car is

0.5 + 2 = 2.5 hours

Therefore,

Average speed = 285/2.5 = 114 km/h

Astronaut X of mass 50kg floats next to Astronaut Y of mass 100kg while in space, as shown in the figure. The positive direction
jonny [76]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

The change in momentum of x has to be the opposite of the change in momentum of Y because the momentum is just transferred from one to another. But I'm still trying to figure it out how to calculate.

A skydiver prepares to jump out of a plane. Explain how gravity and air resistance will affect the motion of the skydiver before
ahrayia [7]
Before the skydiver opens the parachute, his velocity would be increasing greatly as much as 9.8 m/s². Opening the parachute would increase the surface area to which air may cause resistance. The skydiver then reaches his terminal velocity.
