First, let's determine the gravitational force of the Earth exerted on you. Suppose your weight is about 60 kg.

F = Gm₁m₂/d²
where
m₁ = 5.972×10²⁴ kg (mass of earth)
m₂ = 60 kg
d = 6,371,000 m (radius of Earth)
G = 6.67408 × 10⁻¹¹ m³ kg⁻¹ s⁻²

F = ( 6.67408 × 10⁻¹¹ m³ kg⁻¹ s⁻²)(60 kg)(5.972×10²⁴ kg)/(6,371,000 m )²
F = 589.18 N

Next, we find the gravitational force exerted by the Sun by replacing,
m₁ = 1.989 × 10³⁰<span> kg
Distance between centers of sun and earth = 149.6</span>×10⁹ m
Thus,
d = 149.6×10⁹ m - 6,371,000 m = 1.496×10¹¹ m

Thus,
F = ( 6.67408 × 10⁻¹¹ m³ kg⁻¹ s⁻²)(60 kg)(1.989 × 10³⁰ kg)/(1.496×10¹¹ m)²
F = 0.356 N

Ratio = 0.356 N/589.18 N
<em>Ratio = 6.04</em>

The ratio of gravitational force of the sun to the earth's gravitational force is about 1 : 1580

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Newton's gravitational law states that the force of attraction between two objects can be formulated as follows :

$\large {\boxed {F = G \frac{m_1 ~ m_2}{R^2}} }$

<em>F = Gravitational Force ( Newton )</em>

<em>G = Gravitational Constant ( 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ Nm² / kg² )</em>

<em>m = Object's Mass ( kg )</em>

<em>R = Distance Between Objects ( m )</em>

Let us now tackle the problem !

$\texttt{ }$

<u>Given:</u>

radius of Earth = Re = 6.4 × 10⁶ m

mass of the Earth = Me = 6.0 × 10²⁴ kg

distance from Sun to Earth = Rs = 147 × 10⁹ m

mass of the Sun = Ms = 2.0 × 10³⁰ kg

<u>Asked:</u>

ratio of gravitational force of the sun and the earth = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

$F_s : F_e = G \frac{ m M_s }{R_s^2} : G \frac{ m M_e }{R_e^2}$

$F_s : F_e = \frac{ M_s }{R_s^2} : \frac{ M_e }{R_e^2}$

$F_s : F_e = \frac{ 2 \times 10^{30} }{(147 \times 10^9)^2} : \frac{ 6.0 \times 10^{24} }{ (6.4 \times 10^6)^2}$

$F_s : F_e \approx 1 : 1580$

Lamar writes several equations trying to better understand potential energy. H = d with an arrow to the equation W = F d and P E

Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

The gravitational potential energy equals the work needed to lift the object.

Explanation:

here we know that

$H = \vec d$

work done is given as

$W = \vec F . \vec d$

Potential energy is given as

$PE_g = mgh$

force due to gravity is given as

$\vec F_g = mg$

now here if we plug in the value of distance and force in the formula of work done then we will have

$W = (mg)(h)$

so here we got

$W = PE_g$

so we can concluded that

The gravitational potential energy equals the work needed to lift the object.

A rigid, uniform bar with mass mmm and length bbb rotates about the axis passing through the midpoint of the bar perpendicular t

Pie

Answer:

$I = \frac{mvb}{6}$

Explanation:

we know angular velocity in terms of moment of inertia and angular speed

$L = I$ ω .... (1)

moment of inertia of rod rotating about its center of length b

$I = \frac{ mb^2}{12}$ ........ .(2)

using v = ωr

where w is angular velocity

and r is radius of rod which is equal to b

so we get 2v = ωb

ω = 2v/b ................. (3)

here velocity is two time because two opposite ends are moving opposite with a velocity v so net velocity will be 2v

put second and third equation in ist equation

$L = \frac{mb^2}{12}$ × $\frac{2v}{b}$

so final answer will be $L = \frac{mvb}{6}$

Noise-canceling headphones are an application of destructive interference. Each side of the headphones uses a microphone to pick

exis [7]

The question for this problem would be the minimum headphone delay, in ms, that will cancel this noise.
The 200 Hz. period = (1/200) = 0.005 sec. It will need to be delayed by 1/2, so 0.005/2, that is = 0.0025 sec. So converting sec to ms, will give us the delay of:Delay = 2.5 ms.

Suppose you're on a hot air balloon ride, carrying a buzzer that emits a sound of frequency f. If you accidentally drop the buzz

Olin [163]

Answer:

The correct answer is option 'd': The frequency decreases and the intensity of the sound decreases.

Explanation:

1) <u>Effect on Frequency </u>

According to Doppler's effect of sound we have

for a source of sound moving away from the observer the relation between the observed and the original frequency is given by

$f_{app}=\frac{c-v_{rec}}{c+v_{s}}\times f_{original}$

where

c = speed of sound in air

$v_{rec}$ is the velocity of observer of sound

$v_{s}$ is the velocity of source of sound

$f_{o}$ is the original frequency of sound

As we see the ratio is less than 1 thus the frequency of sound that the observer receives is less than that of source.

2) <u>Effect on Intensity:</u>

At a distance 'r' from source emitting a wave of Power 'P' is given by

$I=\frac{P}{4\pi r^{2}}$

As we see on increasing 'r' intensity of sound decreases.
