Answer: 24.97 kg

Explanation:

The gravitational force between two objects of masses M1, and M2 respectively, and separated by a distance R, is:

F = G*(M1*M2)/R^2

Where G is the gravitational constant:

G = 6.67*10^-11 m^3/(kg*s^2)

In this case, we know that

R = 0.002m

F = 0.0104 N

and that M1 = M2 = M

And we want to find the value of M, then we can replace those values in the equation to get

0.0104 N = (6.67*10^-11 m^3/(kg*s^2))*(M*M)/(0.002m)^2

(0.0104 N)*(0.002m)^2/(6.67*10^-11 m^3/(kg*s^2)) = M^2

623.69 kg^2 = M^2

√(623.69 kg^2) = M = 24.97 kg

This means that the mass of each object is 24.97 kg

If an object on a spring became four times as massive, how would that affect the period of its oscillation on the spring?
pentagon [3]
The formula for the time period oscillation of a spring is:
T = 2π√(m/k) where m is the mass of the object attached to the spring and k is the spring constant of the spring.

Multiplying m by 4 we have:
2π√(4m/k)
= 2π x 2√(m/k)
or 2 x (2π√(m/k)) or 2T.

Therefore, when object is four times as massive, then period will double.

a 1000 foot spool of bare 12-gauge copper wire weighs 19.8 pounds. How much will 18 inches of the wire weigh, in ounces?
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

0.4752 oz.

Explanation:

Length = 1000 ft

Converting ft to inches,

12 in = 1 ft

1000 ft = 1000 * 12

= 12000 in

0.05082 in = 0.12908 cm

Mass = 19.8 lb

Converting lb to oz,

1 ounce = 0.0625 lb

1 lb = 1/0.0625 oz

19.8 lb = 1/0.0625 * 19.8

= 316.8 ounce

Since, 12000 in of copper wire weighs 316.8 ounces.

Therefore, 1 in will weigh = 316.8/12000

= 0.0264 oz

18 in = 0.0264 * 18

= 0.4752 oz.

A 6.1 kg piece of metal displaces 1 l of water when submerged. what is its density? answer in units of kg/m3 .
Rzqust [24]
1 l is 0.001 cubic meters;
density = mass/volume, so density = 6.1/0.001= 6100kg/m3

=› the answer is 6100 kg/m3
