all A very small round ball is located near a large solid sphere of uniform density. The force that the large sphere exerts on the ball a. is independent of the mass of the sphere. b. can only be calculated using calculus. c. is approximately the same as it would be if all the mass of the sphere were concentrated at the center of the sphere. d. is independent of the mass of the ball. e. is exactly the same as it would be if all the mass of the sphere were concentrated at the center of the sphere.

Answer:

Option e

Explanation:

The Law of Universal Gravitation states that every point mass attracts every other point mass in the universe by a force pointing in a straight line between the centers-of-mass of both points, and this force is proportional to the masses of the objects and inversely proportional to their separation This attractive force always points inward, from one point to the other. The Law applies to all objects with masses, big or small. Two big objects can be considered as point-like masses, if the distance between them is very large compared to their sizes or if they are spherically symmetric. For these cases the mass of each object can be represented as a point mass located at its center-of-mass.

The same force is applied to both the balls.

A 0.20-kg object attached to the end of a string swings in a vertical circle (radius = 80 cm). at the top of the circle the spee
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

Tension in the string at this position: 3.1 N.

Explanation:

Convert the radius of the circle to meters:

r = 80\;\text{cm} = 0.80\;\text{m}.

What's the net force on the object?

The object is in a circular motion. As a result,

\displaystyle \Sigma F = \frac{m\cdot v^{2}}{r},

where

  • \Sigma F is the net force on the object,
  • m is the mass of the object,
  • v is the velocity of the object, and
  • r is the radius of the circular motion.

For this object,

\displaystyle \Sigma F = \frac{0.20\times {4.5}^{2}}{0.80} = 5.0625\;\text{N}.

The output unit of net force should be standard if the unit for mass, velocity, and radius are all standard. The net force shall always point towards the center. In this case the net force points downwards.

What are the forces on this object?

There are two forces on the object at this moment:

  • Weight, W, which points downwards. W = m\cdot g = 0.20\times 9.81 = 1.962\;\text{N}.
  • Tension, T, which also points downwards. The size of the tension force needs to be found.

What's the size of the tension force?

Gravity and tension points in the same direction. The size of their resultant force is the sum of the two forces. In other words,

\Sigma F = T + W.

T = \Sigma F - W = 5.0625 - 1.962 = 3.1.

All three values in this question are given with two sig. fig. Round the value of T to the same number of significant figures.

Recall that the differential equation for the instantaneous charge q(t) on the capacitor in an lrc-series circuit is l d 2q dt 2
Aloiza [94]
DE which is the differential equation represents the LRC series circuit where
L d²q/dt² + Rdq/dt +I/Cq = E(t) = 150V.
Initial condition is q(t) = 0 and i(0) =0.
To find the charge q(t)  by using Laplace transformation by
Substituting known values for DE
L×d²q/dt² +20 ×dq/dt + 1/0.005× q = 150
d²q/dt² +20dq/dt + 200q =150

A constant braking force of 10 newtons applied for 5 seconds is used to stop a 2.5-kilogram cart traveling at 20 meters per seco
ss7ja [257]
Mathematically it can be expressed as: I = FpΔt. Where F p is the average magnitude of the acting force and Δt = t 2 - t 1, the time lapse in the force acts.
 The magnitude of the impulse applied to stop the cart is
 I = FpΔt = (10N) * (5s) = 50 N.s

A 200 kg weather rocket is loaded with 100 kg of fuel and fired straight up. it accelerates upward at 30.0 m/s2 for 30.0s, then
AlladinOne [14]
There are two stages to the flight: acceleration stage and deceleration stage.

m₁ = 200 kg, mass of the rocket
m₂ = 100 kg, mass of fuel
a₁ = 30.0 m/s², upward acceleration when burning fuel
Ignore air resistance and assume g = 9.8 m/s².

Acceleration stage:
The rocket starts from rest, therefore the initial vertical velocity is zero.
The distance traveled is given by
s₁ = (1/2)*(30.0 m/s²)*(30.0 s)² = 13500 m

Deceleration stage (due to gravity):
The initial velocity is u = (30.0 m/s²)*(30 s) = 900 m/s
The initial height is 13500 m
At maximum height, the vertical velocity is zero.
Let s₂ =  the extra height traveled. Then
(900 m/s)² - 2*(9.8 m/s²)*(s₂ m) = 0
s₂ = 900²/19.6 = 41326.5 m

The maximum altitude is 
s₁+s₂ = 54826.5 m

Answer: 54,826.5 m
