The gravitational force between two objects INcreases

if either object gains mass , and also increases if the objects

are moved closer together.

Unlike the electrostatic force between charges, the gravitational

force between masses ALWAYS pulls them together, and never

pushes them apart.

C. Gravitational force between two objects of masses m1/m2

is defined by Gm1xm2/r^2, where G is a universal constant, and r is the distance between the masses. This shows you why B is wrong; it would increase. Also, A is not a good choice, as shown. In the case of B, it would increase by say, 2/1 to 4/1 by doubling ones mass. In C's case the bottom would decrease on the fraction alot (square) if they were moved closer, thus the force would be greater.

A gyroscope flywheel of radius 1.96 cm is accelerated from rest at 13.0 rad/s2 until its angular speed is 2270 rev/min. (a) What

nika2105 [10]

Tangential acceleration of a point on the rim of the flywheel during this spin-up process is 0.2548 m/s².

Tangential acceleration is defined as the rate of change of tangential velocity of the matter in the circular path.

Given,

Radius of flywheel (r) = 1.96 cm = 0.0196m

Angular acceleration (α)= 13.0 rad/s²

The tangential acceleration formula is at=rα

where, α is the angular acceleration, and r is the radius of the circle.

using the formula; at=rα = (13.0 rad/s²) (0.0196m) = 0.2548 m/s².

The tangential acceleration is 0.2548 m/s².

Visible light passes through a diffraction grating that has 900 slits per centimeter, and the interference pattern is observed o

love history [14]

Answer:

13.51 nm

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we are going to use angle approximation that sin θ ≈ tan θ ≈ θ where our θ is in radians

y/L=tan θ ≈ θ

and ∆θ ≈∆y/L

Where ∆y= wavelength distance= 2.92 mm =0.00292m

L=screen distance= 2.40 m

=0.00292m/2.40m

=0.001217 rad

The grating spacing is d = (90000 lines/m)^−1

=1.11 × 10−5 m.

the small-angle

approx. Using difraction formula with m = 1 gives:

mλ = d sin θ ≈ dθ →

∆λ ≈ d∆θ = =1.11 × 10^-5 m×0.001217 rad

=0.000000001351m

= 13.51 nm

Consider a system to be two train cars traveling toward each other. What is the total momentum of the system before the train ca

Brut [27]

Let say the two train cars are of masses $m_1$ and $m_2$

now if the speed of two cars are $v_1$ and $v_2$

then we can say that the momentum of two cars before they collide is given by

$P = m_1v_1 - m_2v_2$

here two cars are moving in opposite direction so we can say that the net momentum is subtraction of two cars momentum.

Now since in these two car motion there is no external force on them while they collide

So the momentum of two cars are always conserved.

hence we can say that the final momentum of two cars will be same after collision as it is before collision

$P = m_1v_1 - m_2v_2$

A truck traveling down the highway collides with a slower moving mosquito traveling in the same direction. Which of the followin

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

B. The truck and mosquito exert the same size force on each other.

Explanation:

Newton's third law (law of action-reaction) states that

"When an object A exerts a force (action) on an object B, then object B exerts an equal and opposite force (reaction) on object A"

In this case, we can call

object A = the truck

object B = the mosquito

Thereforce according to Newton's third law, the force exerted by the truck on the mosquito is equal in magnitude to the force exerted by the mosquito on the truck (and in opposite direction).

The reason for which the mosquito will experience much more damage is the fact that the mosquito's mass is much smaller than the truck's mass, and since the acceleration is inversely proportional to the mass:

$a=\frac{F}{m}$

the mosquito will experience a much larger deceleration than the truck, therefore much more damage.
