- If the gravitational field strength at the surface of Venus is g, at what distance from the surface of Venus will it be 0.25g? State your answer in terms of the radius of Venus.Problem 2: An object with mass m1 = 42 kg is located at the origin. Another object with mass m2 = 86 kg is located at l2 = 0.105 m. Consider position la = 0.035 m between the two objects and along the axis connecting them. Refer to the diagram. The gravitational field of m1 is denoted by g1. Enter an expression for the gravitational field g1 at position la in terms of m1, la, and the gravitational constant G. The gravitational field of m2 is denoted by g2. Enter an expression for the gravitational field of m2 at la in terms of m2, m1, la, l2 and the gravitational constant G. Enter and expression for the total gravitational field at position la, g, in terms of the quantities defined in the problem.The gravitational acceleration (gravitational field) at the surface of a Planet A is 9 m/s². The radius and the mass of Planet B are both three times larger than those of Planet A. What is the gravitational acceleration on Planet B? O 81 m/s? O3 m/s² O 1 m/s2 O 27 m/s? O 9 m/s2
- Three uniform spheres of masses m1 = 3.00 kg, m2 = 4.00 kg, and m3 = 6.50 kg are placed at the corners of a right triangle (see figure below). Calculate the resultant gravitational force on the object of mass m2, assuming the spheres are isolated from the rest of the Universe.Gravitational force is F = Gm1m2/r². Set G = 1 and m1 = 1, where m2 will be a planet with 1800 times Earth's mass (so m2 = 1800) and 30 times Earth's radius (so r = 30). What will F be?Every few months, memes circulate claiming that certain alignments of the planets with the Earth will result in a change in the gravitational force you feel. Usually these memes state that the alignment will counteract Earth's gravity slightly so you will feel less of a gravitational pull towards the Earth. Can this ever happen? Let's look at the numbers. What is the gravitational force (in N) of the Earth on you (MĚ = 5.97 × 1024 kg, R₁ = 6380 km)? Say your mass is 64 kg. (Enter the magnitude.) What is the gravitational force (in N) of Jupiter on you when it is closest to Earth (M₁ = 1.90 × 1027 kg, R₁ = 5.88 × 108 km)? (Enter the magnitude.) By what factor would the mass of Jupiter need to increase to be equal to the gravitational force you feel from the Earth? Part 1 of 5 The gravitational force between two masses is given by -GMm r² where G = 6.67 x 10-11 m³/s²/kg. FgE Part 2 of 5 We can use this expression to determine the magnitude of the gravitational force you feel while on the…
- Please don't provide handwritten solution .....You encounter a strange cosmic string in outer space. The string extends along the x axis from x = 0 m to x = 4.6 x 104 m. You are located at x = -5.4 x 104 m. You experience a gravitational field equal to 9.6 x 10-6 N/kg at this location. Assuming the string has a constant linear mass density, calculate this linear mass density, in units of 105kg/m. Use G = 6.7 x 10-11 N m2/ kg2. (Please answer to the fourth decimal place - i.e 14.3225)Two objects of equal mass are located at 1.0m and 2.0m above the surface of the Earth. Explain why we can treat the gravitational force on these objects as being equal, even though they are different distances from the center of the Earth.
