Suppose astronomers find an earthlike planet that is twice the size of Earth (that is, its radius is twice the radius of Earth).

What must be the mass of this planet such that the gravitational force (Fgravity) at the surface would be identical to Earth's?

Answer:

4 times the mass of Earth

Explanation:

M_1 = Mass of Earth

M_2 = Mass of the other planet

r = Radius of Earth

2r = Radius of the other planet

m = Mass of object

The force of gravity on an object on Earth is

F=\frac{GM_1m}{r^2}

The force of gravity on an object on the other planet is

F=\frac{GM_2m}{(2r)^2}

As the forces are equal

\frac{GM_1m}{r^2}=\frac{GM_2m}{(2r)^2}\\\Rightarrow M_1=\frac{M_2}{4}\\\Rightarrow M_2=4M_1

So, the other planet would have 4 times the mass of Earth

Answer:

1)    Time interval                 Blue Car                      Red Car

          0 - 2 s                Constant Velocity           Increasing Velocity

          2 - 3 s                Constant Velocity           Constant Velocity

          3 - 5 s                Constant Velocity           Increasing Velocity

          5 - 6 s                Constant Velocity           Decreasing Velocity

2) For Red and Blue car y₂  = 120       v = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{t_{2}-t_{1}} = \frac{120-0}{6-0} = 20 m/s

     We get the same velocity for two cars because it is the average velocity of the car at the given interval of time. It is measured for initial and final position.

3)   At t = 2s, the cars are the same position, and are moving at the same rate

                    Position - same

                    Velocity - same

The position-time graph shares the same spot for two cars.

Sphinxa [80]

Since this is a projectile motion problem, break down each of the five kinematic quantities into x and y components. To find the range, we need to identify the x component of the displacement of the ball.

Let's break them down into components.

                X                                Y

v₁     32 cos50 m/s           32 sin50 m/s

v₂     32 cos50 m/s                    ?

Δd             ?                                0

Δt              ?                                ?

a                0                         -9.8 m/s²


Let's use the following equation of uniform motion for the Y components to solve for time, which we can then use for the X components to find the range.

                           Δdy = v₁yΔt + 0.5ay(Δt)²

                                0 = v₁yΔt + 0.5ay(Δt)²

                                0 = Δt(v₁ + 0.5ayΔt), Δt ≠ 0

                                0 = v₁ + 0.5ayΔt

                                0 = 32sin50m/s + 0.5(-9.8m/s²)Δt

                                0 = 2<u>4</u>.513 m/s - 4.9m/s²Δt

                 -2<u>4</u>.513m/s = -4.9m/s²Δt

-2<u>4</u>.513m/s  ÷ 4.9m/s² = Δt

                          <u>5</u>.00s = Δt


Now lets put our known values into the same kinematic equation, but this time for the x components to solve for range.

Δdₓ = v₁ₓΔt + 0.5(a)(Δt)²

Δdₓ = 32cos50m/s(<u>5</u>.00s) + 0.5(0)(<u>5</u>.00)²

Δdₓ = 32cos50m/s(<u>5</u>.00s)

Δdₓ = 10<u>2</u>.846


Therefore, the answer is A, 102.9m. According to significant digit rules, neither would be correct, but 103m is the closest to 102.9m so I guess that is what it is.

A penny is dropped from the top of a building 290 m high. Ignoring air resistance, if
Kryger [21]

Answer:

1. Velocity = 75.39 m/s

2. Air resistance

3. Mass of the coin

Explanation:

1. Given that the height of the building is 290 m. From Newton's third law of motion,

V^{2} = U^{2} + 2gh

where: V is the final velocity of the coin, U is the initial velocity, g is the force of gravity and h is the height.

Since the coin was dropped from a height, its initial velocity is zero. The force of gravity is taken as 9.8 m/s^{2}, so that:

V^{2} = 0 + 2 x 9.8 x 290

   = 5684

V   = \sqrt{5684}

    = 75.3923

The velocity with which the coin hits the ground is 75.39 m/s.

2. Air resistance: During the free fall of the coin, the direction of wind flow could either cause an increase or decrease the value predicted.

ii. Mass of the coin: This can also affect the predicted value.

After pulling his car off to the side of the road during a rainstorm, travis isdismayed to find that the car has become stuck in
baherus [9]

Part a)

here as per the situation shown we can say that the tension force at the position of applied force is given as

F = 2Tsin\theta

here

\theta = angle of rope with horizontal

tan\theta = \frac{1}{6}

so we will have

\theta = 9.46 degree

now we can say

F = 610 N

610 = 2Tsin9.46

T = 1855.2 N

so the tension force in the string is 1855.2 N

Part B)

this method is better then pulling the car directly because if we pull the car directly then the force on the car is 610 N while in this case we get almost 3 times more force so it is better way to pull the car
