Answer:

F' = F/16

Explanation:

The gravitational force between masses is given by :

$F=G\dfrac{m_1m_2}{r^2}$

If the distance between the center of two objects is quadrupled, r' = 4r

New force will be :

$F'=G\dfrac{m_1m_2}{r'^2}\\\\F'=G\dfrac{m_1m_2}{(4r)^2}\\\\F'=\dfrac{Gm_1m_2}{16r^2}\\\\F'=\dfrac{1}{16}\times \dfrac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}\\\\F'=\dfrac{F}{16}$

So, the new force will change by a factor of 16.

A solid 0.4550 kg ball rolls without slipping down a track toward a vertical loop of radius R = 0.6750 m . What minimum translat

Talja [164]

Answer:

u = 3.35 m/s

Explanation:

given,

mass , m = 0.455 kg

R = 0.675 m

Height of Loop = 1.021 m

the speed required at the top of loop be v

equating the force vertically

$m g =\dfrac{mv^2}{r}$

$9.81 =\dfrac{v^2}{0.675}$

v² = 6.622

v = 2.57 m/s

Let the initial speed of ball be u

using conservation of energy

$\dfrac{1}{2}mu^2 + \dfrac{1}{2}I\omega^2 + m g h = \dfrac{1}{2}I\omega^2 + \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2+ m g (2 R)$

where, $I =\dfrac{2}{5}mr^2$

$\dfrac{1}{2}mu^2 + \dfrac{1}{2}(\dfrac{2}{5}mr^2)(\dfrac{u}{r})^2 + m g h = \dfrac{1}{2}(\dfrac{2}{5}mr^2)(\dfrac{v}{r})^2 + \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2+ m g (2 R)$

$0.7 u^2 + g H = 0.7 v^2 + g(2R)$

$0.7 u^2 +9.81 \times 1.021= 0.7\times 2.57^2 + 9.81 \times 2\times 0.675)$

0.7 u² = 7.85092

u² = 11.2156

u = 3.35 m/s

the initial speed is 3.35 m/s

What absorb emitted neutrons?

Karolina [17]

Nuclear energy is released during: fission. radioactive decay. man-induced splitting of atoms. Match the basic components of a nuclear reactor with their descriptions. 1. slows down neutrons -> moderator. 2. absorb emitted neutrons -> control rods.
