Answer:

Natalie says that all things with mass have a gravitational field, but the force is very weak and cannot be perceived around small objects.

Explanation:

The force due to gravity is proportional to the mass of the object and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between objects. The Earth is so massive that the force due to its gravity is much greater than the force between objects on the counter.

If there were no friction, the objects might move toward each other, depending on what other masses were near them tending to cause them to move in other directions.

Natalie's explanation is about the best.

Additional comment

The universal gravitational constant was determined by Henry Cavendish in the late 18th century using lead balls weighing 1.6 pounds and 348 pounds. His experiment was enclosed in a large wooden box to minimize outside effects. While these masses are somewhat greater than those of a glue bottle and stapler, the experiment shows the force of gravity between "small" objects can be measured.

A space station has a large ring-like component that rotates to simulategravity for the crew. This ring has a massM= 2.1×105kg a

Answer:

Each thruster has to applied a force of 294.5N in tangential direction

Explanation:

Mass of the ring ,M =2.1×105kg

Mass of the ship ,m = 3.5×104kg

Radius of the ring R = 86.0 m

distance of ship from center of the ring, r =31.0 m

Let force applied by each thruster be F

Time taken to reach gravity ,t = 3hrs = 3600× 3 =10800sec

The movement of ring make the object kept at the edge feel a force of centrifuge in outward direction.

Centrifugal force = weight of the object on earth

Assume the ring is moving with angular speed ω

Centripetalforce of the object kept at ring

m₁R ω²=m₁g (m₁=mas of object)

⇒Rω² = g

⇒ω = √g/R

The ring start from 0 angular speed with constant angular acceleration

Let the constant angular acceleration be ∝

∝ = ω / t

(ω = √g/R)

∝ = $\frac{1}{t } \sqrt{\frac{g}{R} } }$

Consider Torque on the ring and ship system

T = FR + FR = 2FR

Moment of inertia of ring ship system

I = I(ring)+I(ship)+I(ship)

= MR² + mr² + mr² = MR² + 2mr²

angular acceleration of the ring ship system

∝ = $\frac{2FR}{MR^2 + 2mr^2}$

Now we have ,

∝ = $\frac{1}{t} \sqrt{\frac{g}{R} }$ , ∝ = $\frac{2FR}{MR^2+2mr^2}$

equating both values

We have,

$F = \frac{MR^2+2mr^2}{2Rt} \sqrt{\frac{g}{R} }$

where,

m = 2.1 × 10⁵kg, R = 86m, m = 3.5 × 10₄kg,

r = 31m, g = 9.8m/s² , t = 10800sec

$F = \frac{(2.1 \times 10^5 \times86^2)+(2\times3.5v10^4\times31^2) }{2\times86\times10800} \times\sqrt{\frac{9.8}{86} } \\\\F = 294.47N\\\approx294.5N$

Each thruster has to applied a force of 294.5N in tangential direction

Determine the binding energy of an F-19 nucleus. The F-19 nucleus has a mass of 18.99840325 amu. A proton has a mass of 1.00728

Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

Energy = 1.38*10^13 J/mol

Explanation:

Total number of proton in F-19 = 9

Total number of neutron in F-19 = 10

Expected Mass of F-19

= 9*1.007 + 10*1.008 = 19.152 u

Actual mass of F-19 = 18.998 u

Energy of one particle of F-19 = 931.5*Δm = 931.5*(19.152-18.998)

= 143.234 MeV

Energy of one mole of F-19 = 143.234*10^6*1.6*10^-19*6.022*10^23

= 1.38*10^13 J/mol

3 things that Gravity affects

slamgirl [31]

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

Gravity is simply referred to as the force of attraction between two particles or masses. Through gravity, the moon moves round the Earth.

Gravity also causes a fruit to fall from its tree. It can also cause an object to roll and fall from the table to the ground. In gravity, distance and mass are vital.
