Answer:

The less mass an object has, the less its gravitational [force.]

Explanation:

Newton's Law of Gravity states that $F_G=\frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^{2}}$ . The two m values are the objects' masses, G is the gravitational constant, and r is the distance between the objects' centers. Notice how the mass values are in the fraction's numerator? That means increasing the mass of one or both objects increases $F_G$ . That also implies the inverse; decreasing the mass of one or both objects decreases $F_G$ !

I hope this helps you understand this concept a little more! Have yourself a fantastic day, 'kay?

A small sphere is at rest at the top of a frictionless semicylindrical surface. The sphere is given a slight nudge to the right

V125BC [204]

Answer:

vi = 4.77 ft/s

Explanation:

Given:

- The radius of the surface R = 1.45 ft

- The Angle at which the the sphere leaves

- Initial velocity vi

- Final velocity vf

Find:

Determine the sphere's initial speed.

Solution:

- Newton's second law of motion in centripetal direction is given as:

m*g*cos(θ) - N = m*v^2 / R

Where, m: mass of sphere

g: Gravitational Acceleration

θ: Angle with the vertical

N: Normal contact force.

- The sphere leaves surface at θ = 34°. The Normal contact is N = 0. Then we have:

m*g*cos(θ) - 0 = m*vf^2 / R

g*cos(θ) = vf^2 / R

vf^2 = R*g*cos(θ)

vf^2 = 1.45*32.2*cos(34)

vf^2 = 38.708 ft/s

- Using conservation of energy for initial release point and point where sphere leaves cylinder:

ΔK.E = ΔP.E

0.5*m* ( vf^2 - vi^2 ) = m*g*(R - R*cos(θ))

( vf^2 - vi^2 ) = 2*g*R*( 1 - cos(θ))

vi^2 = vf^2 - 2*g*R*( 1 - cos(θ))

vi^2 = 38.708 - 2*32.2*1.45*(1-cos(34))

vi^2 = 22.744

vi = 4.77 ft/s

Say you want to make a sling by swinging a mass M of 2.3 kg in a horizontal circle of radius 0.034 m, using a string of length 0

ycow [4]

Answer:

T = 764.41 N

Explanation:

In this case the tension of the string is determined by the centripetal force. The formula to calculate the centripetal force is given by:

$F_c=m\frac{v^2}{r}$ (1)

m: mass object = 2.3 kg

r: radius of the circular orbit = 0.034 m

v: tangential speed of the object

However, it is necessary to calculate the velocity v first. To find v you use the formula for the kinetic energy:

$K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

You have the value of the kinetic energy (13.0 J), then, you replace the values of K and m, and solve for v^2:

$v^2=\frac{2K}{m}=\frac{2(13.0J)}{2.3kg}=11.3\frac{m^2}{s^2}$

you replace this value of v in the equation (1). Also, you replace the values of r and m:

$F_c=(2.3kg)(\frac{11.3m^2/s^2}{0.034})=764.41N$

hence, the tension in the string must be T = Fc = 764.41 N
