Answer:

<em>The distance between the compact car and pickup truck is 0.96048 m</em>

Explanation:

The gravitational force is directly proportional to the product of the masses of the interacting object, it is also inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. This is shown in equation 1;

$F =G \frac{m_{1} X m_{2} }{d^{2} }$ ............ 1

Where F is the gravitational force = 0.0001 N

G is the gravitational constant = 6.673 x $10^{-11} Nm^{2} kg^{-2}$

$m_{1}$ is the mass of the compact car = 900kg

$m_{2}$ is the mass of the pickup truck = 1600kg

d is the distance and its unknown ?

Let us make d the subject formula in equation 1

$d = \sqrt{G\frac{m_{1} m_{2} }{F } }$ .... 2

Substituting into equation 2 we have

$d = \sqrt{\frac{6.673x10^{-11} x 900 x 1600}{0.0001N} }$

d = 0.96048m

Therefore the distance between the compact car and pickup truck is 0.96048 m

Answer:

The distance is 0.96m

Explanation:

Given

m1= 900kg

m2= 1600kg

Force F= 0.0001nN

G=6.67430*10^-11 Nm^2/kg^2

Required

The distance r

Step two:

the formula for the force is given as

F = Gm1m2/r2

make r subject of the formula

$r= \sqrt{\frac{Gm1m2}{F} }$

Every few hundred years most of the planets line up on the same side of the Sun.(Figure 1)Calculate the total force on the Earth

mylen [45]

Answer: $3.7 \times 10^{-4} N$

Explanation:

The gravitational pull between two object is given by:

$F = G\frac{Mm}{r^2}$

Where M and m are the masses of the object, r is the distance between the masses and G = 6.67× 10⁻¹¹ m³kg⁻¹ s⁻² is the gravitational constant.

We have to calculate the net force on Earth due to Venus, Jupiter and Saturn when they are in one line. It means when they are the closest distance.

$F_{net] = G\frac{M_eM_v}{r_v^2}+G\frac{M_eM_j}{r_j^2}+G\frac{M_eM_s}{r_s^2}$

Mass of Earth, Me = 5.98 × 10²⁴ kg

Mass of Venus, Mv = 0.815 Me

Mass of Jupiter, Mj = 318 Me

Mass of Saturn, Ms = 95.1 Me

closest distance between Earth and Venus, rv = 38 × 10⁶ km = 0.25 AU

closest distance between Jupiter and Earth, rj = 588 × 10⁶ km = 3.93 AU

closest distance between Earth and Saturn, rs = 1.2 × 10⁹ km = 8.0 AU

where 1 AU = 1.5 × 10¹¹ m

Inserting the values:

$F_{net} = G\frac{M_e\times 0.815 M_e}{(0.25AU)^2}+G\frac{M_e\times 318 M_e}{(3.93AU)^2}+G\frac{M_e\times 95.1 M_e}{(8.0AU)^2}\\ \Rightarrow F_{net} = \frac{(GM_e^2)}{(1AU)^2}(\frac{0.815}{0.25^2}+\frac{318}{3.93^2}+\frac{95.1}{8.0^2})=\frac{6.67\times 10^{-11} \times (5.98\times 10^{24})^2}{(1.5\times 10^{11})^2}(35.1) = 3.7 \times 10^{-4} N$

An ion in a mass spectrometer follows a semicircular path of radius 14.8. What is the distance it travels?

aleksklad [387]

The circumference of a circle is (2π · the circle's radius).

The length of a semi-circle is (1π · the circle's radius) =

(π · 14.8) = 46.5 (rounded)

(The unit is the same as whatever the unit of the 14.8 is.)

Engineers are designing a curved section of a highway. If the radius of curvature of the curve is 194 m, at what angle should th

Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

The banking angle is 23.84 degrees.

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius of the curve, r = 194 m

Speed of the car, v = 29 m/s

On the banked curve, the centripetal force is balanced by the force of friction such that,

$mg\ tan\theta=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}$

$tan\theta=\dfrac{v^2}{rg}$

$tan\theta=\dfrac{(29)^2}{194\times 9.8}$

$\theta=23.84^{\circ}$

So, the banking angle is 23.84 degrees. Hence, this is the required solution.

A 4 kg rock is dropped from 5 m. There is no friction. What kind of energy does is have before? What kind of energy does it have

denpristay [2]

1) The total mechanical energy of the rock is:
$E=U+K$
where U is the gravitational potential energy and K the kinetic energy.

Initially, the kinetic energy is zero (because the rock starts from rest, so its speed is zero), and the total mechanical energy of the rock is just gravitational potential energy. This is equal to
$E_i=U=mgh$
where $m=4 kg$ is the mass, $g=9.81 m/s^2$ is the gravitational acceleration and $h=5 m$ is the height.
Putting the numbers in, we find the potential energy
$U=mgh=(4 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)(5 m)=196.2 J$

2) Just before hitting the ground, the potential energy U is zero (because now h=0), and all the potential energy of the rock converted into kinetic energy, which is equal to:
$E_f=K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2$
where v is the speed of the rock just before hitting the ground. Since the mechanical energy of the rock must be conserved, then the kinetic energy K before hitting the ground must be equal to the initial potential energy U of the rock:
$K=U=196.2 J$

3) For the work-energy theorem, the work W done by the gravitational force on the rock is equal to the variation of kinetic energy of the rock, which is:
$W=196.2 J-0 J=196.2 J$
