In the figure, three 5.00kgspheres are located at distancesd1=0.300 mandd2=0.400 m. What are the (a) magnitude and (b) direction (relative to the positive direction of thexaxis) of the net gravitational force on sphereBdue to spheresAandC?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) The magnitude of the net gravitational force on sphere B is 2.1310-8N

b) The net gravitational force on sphere B is 60.0atwith positive x-axis.

Step by step solution

01

The given data

Three spheres of equal mass=5kg

Distance between sphere A and B,rAB=0.3m

Distance between sphere B and C,rBC=0.4m

Gravitational constant,G=6.6710-11N-m2/kg2

02

Understanding the concept of Newton’s law of gravitation

This problem is based on Newton鈥檚 law of gravitation. Net force due to two forces can be calculated by using vector addition.

Formula:

Gravitational force of attraction, F=GMmr2 (i)

03

a) Calculating the magnitude of the force on the sphere B

Using equation (i), Force between spheres A & B can be given by:

FAB=GmAmBrAB2=6.6710-11550.32=1.85310-8N

Force between B & C:

FBC=GmBmBrBC2=6.6710-11550.42=1.04210-8N

Net force on B due to A & C:

F=FAB2+FBC2=1.85310-82+1.04210-82=2.12610-10N2.1310-8N

The net force is2.1310-8N

04

b) Calculating the direction of the net force on sphere B

Direction of force on B:

=tan-1FBAFBC=tan-11.85310-81.04210-8=60.6

The net gravitational force makes an angle of 60.6with positive x axis.

A massMis split into two parts,mand role="math" localid="1657189921712" M-m, which are0 then separated by a certain distance. What ratiom-Mmaximizes the magnitude of the gravitational force between the parts?

We watch two identical astronomical bodies Aand B, each of mass m, fall toward each other from rest because of the gravitational force on each from the other. Their initial center-to-center separation isRi. Assume that we are in an inertial reference frame that is stationary with respect to the center of mass of this two body system. Use the principle of conservation of mechanical energy (Kf+ Uf=Ki +Ui ) to find the following when the center-to-center separation is 0.5Ri:

(a) the total kinetic energy of the system,

(b) the kinetic energy of each body,

(c) the speed of each body relative to us, and

(d) the speed of body Brelative to body A. Next assume that we are in a reference frame attached to body A(we ride on the body). Now we see body Bfall from rest toward us. From this reference frame, again useKf+Uf=Ki+Uito find the following when the center-to-center separation is0.5Ri:

(e) the kinetic energy of body Band

(f) the speed of body Brelative to body A.

(g) Why are the answers to (d) and (f) different? Which answer is correct?
