- In the law of universal gravitation, Newton assumed that the force was proportional to the product of the two masses (m1m2) . While all scientific conjectures must be experimentally verified, can you provided arguments as to why this must be? (You may wish to consider simple examples in which any other form would lead to contradictory results.)arrow_forwardThe Sun has a mass of approximately 1.99 1030 kg. a. Given that the Earth is on average about 1.50 1011 m from the Sun, what is the magnitude of the Suns gravitational field at this distance? b. Sketch the magnitude of the gravitational field due to the Sun as a function of distance from the Sun. Indicate the Earths position on your graph. Assume the radius of the Sun is 7.00 108 m and begin the graph there. c. Given that the mass of the Earth is 5.97 1024 kg, what is the magnitude of the gravitational force on the Earth due to the Sun?arrow_forwardTwo satellites are in orbit around the earth at the same altitude (distance from center of earth), and have the same orbital period. But one satellite is twice as massive as the other satellite. Which statement below is true? The satellites have the same centripetal acceleration, but the more massive satellite has a larger centripetal force. Neither object has a force acting on it because they're in space. The centripetal forces are the same because they are moving the same. The more massive satellite has a larger acceleration, and therefore a larger centripetal force.arrow_forward
- A motorcyclist is riding a motorcycle around a roundabout of radius 63m at 85 km/h. The combined mass of the motorcyclist + motorcycle is 307kg. (a) Show that the centripetal acceleration of the motor cyclist is 8.8ms-2. (3 marks) KA2 GET (b) If the tyres are capable of providing a maximum frictional force of 2.00x10³N toward the centre of the roundabout, will the motor cyclist be able to take the curve without slowing down? Justify your answer. (c) What is the maximum speed that the motorcyclist could take this curve at? Give your answer in km/h.arrow_forwardWhen an object is orbit around a planet, what is it actually going on? The force of Earth's gravity pushes outward and keeps the object from falling. Gravity, combined with the satellite's momentum, cause the satellite to stay orbit above Earth, instead of falling back down to the ground. These forces must be in balance to maintain an orbit. The object starts to have no mass, and therefore can stay in orbit. When the object is in orbit, gravity no longer acts upon that object, and therefore can maintain its constant circular path without a influence of an outside force.arrow_forwardA roller coaster travels in a circular path. (a) Identify the forces on a passenger at the top of the circular loop that cause centripetal acceleration. Show the direction of all forces in a sketch. (b) Identify the forces on the passenger at the bottom of the loop that produce centripetal acceleration. Show these in a sketch. (c) Based on your answers to parts (a) and (b), at what point, top or bottom, should the seat exert the greatest force on the passenger? (d) Assume the speed of the roller coaster is 4.00 m/s at the top of the loop of radius 8.00 m. Find the force exerted by the seat on a 70.0-kg passenger at the top of the loop. Then, assume the speed remains the same at the bottom of the loop and find the force exerted by the seat on the passenger at this point. Are your answers consistent with your choice of answers for parts (a) and (b)?arrow_forward
- Masses m₂, m₂, m3 and om are connected together as shown in the figure below. All the surfaces are smooth. If m₁ = 3.2kg, m₂ = 2.8kg, m3 = 3.8kg, om = 1.3kg and = 55°, calculate a) the acceleration of the system. b) the normal force between m3 and ōm. 7²1 7122 In+one 183arrow_forwardThe Moon orbits the Earth at a distance of 3.84 x 10^8 m and with a tangential speed of 1 km/s. If the Moon’s mass is 7.3 x 10^22 kg, find the Moon’s a) acceleration (magnitude and direction) b) net force (magnitude and direction)arrow_forwardMany students consider problems involving ramps (inclined planes) to be especially hard. The difficulty is probably visual because we work with (a) a tilted coordinate system and (b) the components of the gravitational force, not the full force. Here is a typical example with all the tilting and angles explained. (In WileyPLUS, the figure is available as an animation with voiceover.) In spite of the tilt, the key idea is to apply Newton’s second law to the axis along which the motion occurs. a cord pulls a box of sea biscuits up along a frictionless plane inclined at angle u= 30.0. The box has mass m = 5.00 kg, and the force from the cord has magnitude T = 25.0 N.What is the box’s acceleration a along the inclined plane?arrow_forward
- Tracking some asteroids in our solar system by investigating the gravitational attraction between three asteroids that they find interesting. The tracking system uses a 2 dimensional grid system so that the scientists know where the asteroids are located. Asteroid 1 is located at the origin and has a mass of 4.5 x 1010 kg. Asteroid 2 has position coordinates of x2 = -200 km, y2 = -390 km and has a mass of 5.5 x 1010 kg. Asteroid 3 has position coordinates of x3 = 0 km, y3 = +410 km and has a mass of 6.0 x 1010 kg. What is the direction of the total gravitational force vector for asteroid 1? The angle will subtend an arc starting at the positive x axis going counter clockwise and ending at the total gravitational force vector for asteroid 1.arrow_forwardThe slope of the 4.1 kN force F is specified as shown in the figure.
