Masses M and m attract each other with a gravitational force of magnitude F. Mass m is replaced with a mass 3 cm, and it is moved four times farther away. Now, what is the magnitude of the force?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The magnititude of the force isF=1.25×10-11×mMd2N.

Step by step solution

01

identification of the given data

- Massm=3m

-d'=4d

02

Gravitational Force

Bodies that have mass and are at a certain distance attract each other. This attraction is the gravitational force.

03

Calculation of the force magnitude

By Newton's law, the magnitude of the force is written as:

F=Gm1×m2d2

Here, F- Magnitude of gravitational force,m1- the mass of object 1,m2- the mass of object 2, d- Distance separating two objects, and G- Universal gravitation constant 6.67×10-11N·m2/kg2

F=Gm1×m2d'2

F=6.67×10-11M×3m(4d)2

F=1.25×10-11×mMd2N

Thus, the value of force isF=1.25×10-11×mMd2N.

A steel ball of mass m falls from a height h onto a scale calibrated in newtons. The ball rebounds repeatedly to nearly the same height h. The scale is sluggish in its response to the intermittent hits and displays an average force F avg , such that FavgT=Fâ–³t, Z where Fâ–³tis the brief impulse that the ball imparts to the scale on every hit, and T is the time between hits.

Question: Calculate this average force in terms of m, h and physical constants. Compare your result with the scale reading if the ball merely rests on the scale. Explain your analysis carefully (but briefly).

The mass of the Sun is 2×1030kg. The mass of the Earth is 6×1024kg.and their center-to-center distance is 1.5×1011m. Suppose that at some instant the Sun's momentum is zero (it's at rest). Ignoring all effects but that of the Earth, what will the Sun's speed be after one day? (Very small changes in the velocity of a star can be detected using the "Doppler" effect, a change in the frequency of the starlight, which has made it possible to identify the presence of planets in orbit around a star.)

Two rocks collide in outer space. Before the collision, one rock had mass 9kgand velocity (4100,−2600,2800)m/s. The other rock had mass 6kgand velocity (-450,1800,23500)m/s. A chunk of the first rock breaks off and sticks to the second rock. After the collision the 7kgrock has velocity (1300,200,1800)m/s. After the collision, what is the velocity of the other rock, whose mass is 8kg?

At a particular instant the magnitude of the gravitational force exerted by a planet on one of its moons is 3×1023N. If the mass of the moon were three times as large, what would be the magnitude of the force? If instead the distance between the moon and the planet were three times as large (no change in mass), what would be the magnitude of the force?
