An 8.00kg point mass and a12.00kg point mass are held50.0cm apart. A particle of mass mis released from a point between the two masses20.0cm from the8.00kg group along the line connecting the two fixed masses. Find the magnitude and direction of the acceleration of the particle.

Short Answer

Expert verified

With the magnitude and direction of the acceleration of the particle+2.22109鈥尘/s2 areas, the net force is mainly directed towards the first mass.

Step by step solution

01

 Step 1: Identification of the given data

The given data can be listed below as follows,

  • The point mass is of 8.00kgand12.00kg respectively.
  • The distance amongst the point mass is 50.0鈥塩尘.
  • The known value of gravitational constant G is 6.671011鈥塏办驳-2m2.
  • The distance of the particle of mass from the8.00kg point mass is 20cm.
  • The distance of the middle mass from the first and second mass is 5020=30鈥塩尘.

Significance of Newton’s law of gravity on the particle of mass

The law elucidates that a particle in the universe attracts the same or different particle with the help of a force that is inversely proportional to the square of the particles' distances and directly proportional to the product of the masses.

The product of the masses, which is divided by the square of the distances of the groups, gives the absolute value of the net force. Moreover, the acceleration of the particle is to be found with the help of the total value of the net force.

03

Determination of the magnitude and direction of the acceleration of the particle

From Newton鈥檚 law of gravitation, the attraction of the middle particle with the first and second particle is expressed as:

F=Gm1m2r2鈥︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌)

Where Gis the gravitational constant, m1is the first mass and m2 is the second mass, and ris the distance amongst the groups.

Furthermore, substituting the equation i) to find out the absolute value of the net force, which is expressed as:

role="math" localid="1655713254679" F0=[F1F2]=Gmm1r12m2r22鈥︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌颈)

Here r1is the distance of the particle of mass from the first mass and r2the distance of the middle group from the first and second mass.

The absolute value of the acceleration gathered from equation ii) is as follows:

a=Fm=Gm1r12m2r22

Substituting the provided values in the above equation, we get,

F=6.671011鈥塏办驳-2m28鈥塳驳20鈥塩尘212鈥塳驳30鈥塩尘2+2.22109鈥尘/s2

Thus, the magnitude and direction of the acceleration of the particle+2.22109鈥尘/s2 areas, the net force is mainly directed towards the first mass.
