Two objects have a force of gravity of 100 N. If the distance between both objects decreases by a factor of 7, while the masses

both decrease by a factor of 8. What is the new Fg?

The gravitational force <em>F</em> between two masses <em>M</em> and <em>m</em> a distance <em>r</em> apart is

<em>F</em> = <em>G M m</em> / <em>r</em> ²

Decrease the distance by a factor of 7 by replacing <em>r</em> with <em>r</em> / 7, and decrease both masses by a factor of 8 by replacing <em>M</em> and <em>m</em> with <em>M</em> / 8 and <em>m</em> / 8, respectively. Then the new force <em>F*</em> is

<em>F*</em> = <em>G </em>(<em>M</em> / 8) (<em>m</em> / 8) / (<em>r</em> / 7)²

<em>F*</em> = (1/64 × <em>G M m</em>) / (1/49 × <em>r</em> ²)

<em>F*</em> = 49/64 × <em>G M m</em> / <em>r</em> ²

In other words, the new force is scaled down by a factor of 49/64 ≈ 0.7656, so the new force has magnitude approx. 76.56 N.

If an object experiences an impulse and stops, what is its final momentum?
____ [38]

Answer:

Zero

Explanation:

Since momentum is a product of mass and velocity of an object, in this case when the object stops its final velocity is zero hence despite the magnitude of its mass, multiplied by zero the final momentum is equivalent to zero. However, in case after experiencing momentum its velocity reduces but doesn’t come to a rest, the momentum will have a value. For this question, the first case applies hence momentum value is zero.

What is the speed of a 6-kg ball with a momentum of 72 kg∙m/s?
Nookie1986 [14]
The momentum of a moving object is given by:
p=mv
where m is the mass of the object and v its speed.

In this problem, the ball has a mass of m=6 kg and its momentum is p=72 kg m/s, so we can rearrange the previous equation to find the speed of the ball:
v= \frac{p}{m}= \frac{72 kg m/s}{6 kg}=12 m/s

Which are ways to improve the design of this experiment? Check all that apply.
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

* Experiment with a higher range of materials

* Use a galvanometer.

* Vary in number of coils of the electromagnet

Explanation:

This is an experiment of electricity and magnetism, in general the best way to improve the results are:

* Experiment with a higher range of materials

   allowing to know the scope of the initial assumptions

* Use a galvanometer.

  The more accurate the readings the error of the derived quantities is the less which will improve the precision of the experiment.

* Vary in number of coils of the electromagnet

  Since it allows to have greater magnetic fields and therefore expand the range of measurements

Can anyone define thermostat and list electrical appliances that have a thermostat?
Tresset [83]
A thermostat is a switch that operates itself when the temperature
goes above or below a temperature that the user can set.

-- Before you go to bed, you set the thermostat for 65° .
If the temperature in the house goes below 65° during the night,
the thermostat turns on the furnace, and keeps it running until
the house warms up to 65°.  Then it shuts the furnace off.

-- After breakfast, you set the thermostat for 75°.
If the temperature in the house goes above 75°, during the day, 
the thermostat turns on the air conditioner, and keeps it running until
the house cools down to 75°.  Then it shuts the air conditioner off.  

-- On Sunday morning, you put the slow cooker on the kitchen counter,
and you throw in a big roast, a sliced onion, some baby carrots, some
sliced potatoes, some vegetable stock, salt, pepper, garlic, chili powder,
and tomato paste.  Then you put the cover on, turn the power on, and
set the slow cooker to "LOW".  The heater in the slow cooker turns on.
  Whenever the temperature in the crock gets higher than 160°, the
thermostat in the slow cooker turns off the heater, and keeps it off
until the crock cools down to 160°.  Then the thermostat turns the
heater on again.
  By dinner time, you have a hot, juicy, scrumptious pot roast, ready
to eat.  It's not too hot, not too cold, not too tough, not dried out, and
it melts in your mouth.
You're still thinking about it when you go to bed, and your mom gives you
a slice to take to school for your lunch on Monday.
