A student asks the following question:
"If all things with mass have a gravitational field, why doesn't this glue bottle and
stapler, sitting on the counter, stick together because of gravitational forces?"
Which classmate answers correctly?
Ashton says that the gravitational fields between the bottle and the stapler
cancel out because of Newton's 3rd Law.
O Natalie says that all things with mass have a gravitational field, but the force is
very weak and cannot be perceived around small objects.
Xavier says the bottle and the stapler are way too small to have a gravitational
field.
Katherine says the bottle and the stapler have a strong gravitational field, and
would move towards each other quickly if there were no friction on the counter.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

  Natalie says that all things with mass have a gravitational field, but the force is very weak and cannot be perceived around small objects.

Explanation:

The force due to gravity is proportional to the mass of the object and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between objects. The Earth is so massive that the force due to its gravity is much greater than the force between objects on the counter.

If there were no friction, the objects might move toward each other, depending on what other masses were near them tending to cause them to move in other directions.

Natalie's explanation is about the best.

Additional comment

The universal gravitational constant was determined by Henry Cavendish in the late 18th century using lead balls weighing 1.6 pounds and 348 pounds. His experiment was enclosed in a large wooden box to minimize outside effects. While these masses are somewhat greater than those of a glue bottle and stapler, the experiment shows the force of gravity between "small" objects can be measured.

Answer:

Hello your question is incomplete attached below is the missing part of the question

In this problem, you will practice applying this formula to several situations involving angular acceleration. In all of these situations, two objects of masses m1 and m2 are attached to a seesaw. The seesaw is made of a bar that has length l and is pivoted so that it is free to rotate in the vertical plane without friction. Assume that the pivot is attached tot he center of the bar.

You are to find the angular acceleration of the seesaw when it is set in motion from the horizontal position. In all cases, assume that m1>m2.I

answer : part A = 2*[(M1 - M2)/(M1 + M2)]*g/L

              part A = attached below

Explanation:

Part A :

Assuming that mass of swing is negligible

α = T/I

where ; T = torque, I = inertia,

hence T =  L/2*9*(M1 - M2)

also;  I = [tex]M1*(L/2)^2 + M2*(L/2)^2[/tex]=  ( M1 + M2) * (L/2)^2

Finally the magnitude of the angular acceleration α

α = 2*[(M1 - M2)/(M1 + M2)]*g/L

A bat at rest sends out ultrasonic sound waves at 46.2 kHz and receives them returned from an object moving directly away from it at 21.8 m/s, what is the received sound frequency?
f= ? Hz

Answers

Answer:

f" = 40779.61 Hz

Explanation:

From the question, we see that the bat is the source of the sound wave and is initially at rest and the object is in motion as the observer, thus;

from the Doppler effect equation, we can calculate the initial observed frequency as:

f' = f(1 - (v_o/v))

We are given;

f = 46.2 kHz = 46200 Hz

v_o = 21.8 m/s

v is speed of sound = 343 m/s

Thus;

f' = 46200(1 - (21/343))

f' = 43371.4285 Hz

In the second stage, we see that the bat is now a stationary observer while the object is now the moving source;

Thus, from doppler effect again but this time with the source going away from the obsever, the new observed frequency is;

f" = f'/(1 + (v_o/v))

f" = 43371.4285/(1 + (21.8/343))

f" = 40779.61 Hz

Two 0.60-kilogram objects are connected by a thread that passes over a light, frictionless pulley. The objects are initially held at rest. If a third object with a mass of 0.30 kilogram is added on top of one of the 0.60-kilogram objects and the objects are released, the magnitude of the acceleration of the 0.30-kilogram object is most nearly:______

Answers

Answer:

2 m/s²

Explanation:

From the given information:

The first mass m_1 = 0.6 kg

The second mass m_2 = 0.3 kg

The magnitude for the acceleration of 0.3 kg is:

a = net force/ effective mass

Mathematically, it can be computed as follows:

[tex]a = \dfrac{F}{m}[/tex]

[tex]a = \dfrac{(m_2 +m_1 -m_1) }{(m_2+m_1+m_1)}(g)[/tex]

[tex]a = \dfrac{0.3 +0.6 -0.6}{(0.3 +0.6+0.6)}(9.8)[/tex]

a ≅ 2 m/s²

The speed limit on some segments of interstate 4 is 70 mph. What is this in km/h?

Answers

Answer:

112.63km/hr

Explanation:

The given dimension is :

         70mph

We are to convert this to km/hr

         1 mile  = 1.609km

         

so;

     70mph x 1.609    = 112.63km/hr

So,

  The solution is 112.63km/hr

Suppose a wheel with a tire mounted on it is rotating at the constant rate of 2.69 times a second. A tack is stuck in the tire at a distance of 0.331 m from the rotation axis. Noting that for every rotation the tack travels one circumference, find the tack's tangential speed.

Answers

Answer:

the tack's tangential speed is  5.59 m/s

Explanation:

Given that;

R = 0.331 m

wheel rotates 2.69 times a second which means, the wheel complete 2.69 revolutions in a second, so

ω = 2.69 rev/s × 2π/1s = 16.9 rad/s

using the relation of angular speed with tangential speed

tangential speed v of the tack is expressed as;

v = R × ω

so we substitute

v = 0.331 m × 16.9 rad/s

v = 5.59 m/s

Therefore, the tack's tangential speed is  5.59 m/s
