When the car was stopped by the tree, its change in velocity during the collision was -6 meters/second. This change in velocity

occurred in 2 seconds. What was the acceleration of the car?

6 meters per second

You will need to add six two times to find the acceleration

Objects with masses of 165 kg and a 465 kg are separated by 0.340 m. (a) Find the net gravitational force exerted by these objec

Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

(a) $F_{net}$ = 4.19 x $10^{-5}$ N, and its direction is towards $m_{2}$ .

(b) It must be placed inside a hollow shell.

Explanation:

Let, $m_{1}$ = 165 kg, $m_{2}$ = 465 kg, $m_{3}$ = 60 kg, and the distance between $m_{1}$ and $m_{2}$ is 0.340 m.

(a) Since $m_{3}$ is placed midway between $m_{1}$ and $m_{2}$ , then its distance to both masses is 0.170 m.

From the Newton's law of universal gravitation,

F = $\frac{Gm_{1}m_{2} }{r^{2} }$

Where all variables have their usual meaning.

Then,

a. $F_{net}$ = $F_{23}$ - $F_{13}$

$F_{13}$ = $\frac{6.67*10^{-11}*165*60 }{(0.17)^{2} }$

= 2.25 x $10^{-5}$ N

$F_{23}$ = $\frac{6.67*10^{-11}*465*60 }{(0.17)^{2} }$

= 6.44 x $10^{-5}$ N

∴ $F_{net}$ = = 6.44 x $10^{-5}$ - 2.25 x $10^{-5}$

= 4.19 x $10^{-5}$ N

The net force exerted by the two masses on the 60 kg object is 4.19 x $10^{-5}$ N.

(ii) / $F_{net}$ / = / $F_{23}$ / - / $F_{13}$ /

= 6.44 x $10^{-5}$ - 2.25 x $10^{-5}$

= 4.19 x $10^{-5}$ N

(iii) The direction of the net force is to the right i.e towards $m_{2}$ .

(b) For the net force experienced by the 60 kg object to be zero, it must be placed inside a hollow shell.

What two factors determine the force of gravity between two objects?

Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

Mass and distance between them are two factors on which force of gravity depends

Explanation:

According to law of gravitation

Gravitational force between two object is given by $F=\frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}$ , here G is gravitational constant $m_1\ and\ m_2$ are mass of the objects and r is distance between them

From the relation we can see that force of gravity is dependent on the mass of the objects and distance between them.

So mass and distance between them are two factors on which force of gravity depends

How does matter change state and in what order??

aivan3 [116]

When matter changes state, many people think it goes from solid to liquid to gas, or vise versa. But the true fact is, matter doesn't change in any order.
