The gravitational force of attraction between two masses is F

Physics

Rzqust [24]2 years ago

Hi there!

We can use the equation for gravitational force:
F_g = \frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}

Fg = force due to gravity (N)

m1, m2 = masses of objects (kg)

r = distance between the center of mass of the objects (m)

G = gravitational constant

1.

Using the equation:
F'_g = \frac{G(3m_1)(3m_2)}{r^2} = 9F_g

The force would be <u>9 times larger. </u>

2. (Repeat?)

3.

The square of distance is inversely related, so:
F'g= \frac{Gm_1m_2}{(\frac{2}{3}r)^2} = \frac{Gm_1m_2}{\frac{4}{9}r^2} = \frac{9}{4}F_g

The force is <u>9/4ths times larger.</u>

4.

Combining:
F'_g = \frac{G(2m_1)(2m_2)}{(3r)^2} = \frac{4Gm_1m_2}{9r^2} = \frac{4}{9}F_g

The force is <u>9/4ths times larger.</u>

<u></u>

5.

F'g = \frac{G(2m_1)m_2}{(4r)^2} = \frac{2Gm_1m_2}{16r^2} = \frac{1}{8}F_g

The force is <u>1/8th the original.</u>

6.

Equation for gravitational field:
g = \frac{Gm_e}{r_e^2}

g = acceleration due to gravity (m/s²)

G = gravitational constant

me = mass of earth (kg)
re = radius of earth (m)

With the following transformations:
g' = \frac{G(2m_e)}{(\frac{1}{3}r)^2} = \frac{2Gm_e}{\frac{1}{9}r^2} = 18g

The acceleration due to gravity is <u>18 times as large.</u>

A spherical bowling ball with mass m = 4.1 kg and radius R = 0.117 m is thrown down the lane with an initial speed of v = 8.9 m/
Furkat [3]

Answer:

1) 23.45 rad/s²

2) 2.7 m/s²

3) t= 1.6 s

4) x ≈ 11 m

5) vfinal = 4.45 m/s

6) KErot = 16.2 J

    KEtran = 41 J

    KErot < KEtran

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

mass bowling ball = 4.1 kg

radius = 0.117 meter

initial speed = 8.9 m/s

1) What is the magnitude of the angular acceleration of the bowling ball as it slides down the lane?

α = a / r = 2.774 m/s² / 0.117m = 23.45 rad/s²

2)What is magnitude of the linear acceleration of the bowling ball as it slides down the lane?

a = µ*g = 0.28 * 9.8m/s² = 2.744 m/s² ≈ 2.7 m/s²

3) How long does it take the bowling ball to begin rolling without slipping?

This begins when ω = v / r

with

⇒ ω = α*t = 23.45 rad/s² * t

⇒ v = Vo - a*t = 8.9m/s - 2.744m/s²*t

This gives us:

23.45rad/s² * t = (8.9m/s - 2.744m/s²*t) / 0.11m

2.744*t = 8.9 - 2.744*t

t = 8.9 / 5.488 = 1.622 s ≈ 1.6 s

4) How far does the bowling ball slide before it begins to roll without slipping?

x = Vo*t - ½at² = (8.9*1.622 - ½*2.744*(1.622)²) m = 10.82 m ≈ 11 m

5) What is the magnitude of the final velocity?

v = Vo - at = 8.9m/s - 2.744m/s² * 1.622s = 4.45 m/s

6) After the bowling ball begins to roll without slipping, compare the rotational and translational kinetic energy of the bowling ball:

trans KE = ½ * 4.1kg * (4.45m/s)² =40.595 J ≈ 41 J

I = (2/5)mr² = (2/5) * 4.1kg * (0.117m)² = 0.0224 kg·m²

ω = v/r = 4.45m/s / 0.117m = 38.03 rad/s, so

rot KE = ½Iω² = ½ * 0.0224kg·m² * (38.03rad/s)² = 16.2 J

16.2 J < 41 J

KErot < KEtran

(For a rolling solid sphere, KErot ≈ 2/5 * KEtran)

A sodium has an atomic number of 11 and the atomic mass of 23. Determine the its proton, electrons, and neutrons
ioda

The mass number of an element tells us the number of protons AND neutrons in an atom (the two particles that have a measurable mass). Sodium has a mass number of 23amu. Since sodium has 11 protons, the number of neutrons must be 23 – 11 = 12 neutrons.

A geneticist looks through a microscope to determine the phenotype of a fruit fly. The microscope is set to an overall magnifica
Ugo [173]

Answer:

f_{e}  = 1.9 cm

Explanation:

The magnification of a microscope is the product of the magnification of the eyepiece by the magnifier with the objective

    M = M₀ m_{e}

Where M₀ is the magnification of the objective and  m_{e} is the magnification of the eyepiece.

The eyepiece is focused to the near vision point (d = 25 cm)

       m_{e} = 25 /  f_{e}

The objective is focused on the distances of the tube (L)

     M₀ = -L / f₀

Substituting

     M = - L/f₀    25/f_{e}  

1) Let's look for the focal length of the eyepiece (faith)

     f_{e}  = - L 25 / f₀ M

     M = 400X = -400

     f_{e}  = - 12 25 /0.40 (-400)

     f_{e}  = 1.875 cm

Let's approximate two significant figures

    f_{e}  = 1.9 cm
