Answer:
Explanation:
According to Newton's law of universal gravitation:
Where:
is the module of the force exerted between both bodies
is the universal gravitation constant.
and are the masses of both bodies.
is the distance between both bodies
In this case we have two situations:
1) Two bags with masses and mutually exerting a gravitational attraction on each other:
(1)
(2)
(3)
2) Two bags with masses and mutually exerting a gravitational attraction on each other (assuming the distance between both bags is the same as situation 1):
(4)
(5)
(6)
Now, if we isolate
from (3):
(7)
Substituting found in (7) in (6):
(8)
(9)
Simplifying, we finally get the expression for in terms of
:
For this case, the first thing we must do is define a reference system.
Suppose that the positive direction of the reference system is upward.
We have that the sum of forces in the vertical axis is given by:
Fy = Fp - Fg
Substituting values:
Fy = 5500 - 6000
Fy = - 500
The negative sign means that the direction of the force with respect to the defined coordinate system is downward.
Answer:
The net force is:
↓ 500N
Explanation:
As the earth travels around the sun in the elliptical orbit it must also be know that the axis of the earth is tilted as well.
- So when the earth is at the farthest point and the tilt of the earth's axis is towards the sun in that case the sun rays always incident on the surface of the earth near the poles and hence there is sunlight for the 24 hours of the day. But the intensity of these rays is very low because of the their slanted angle of incident. In other words the same sun rays cover a larger area and the luminous intensity is reduced.
- When the earth is near to the sun we have an increased average temperature of the day during that phase giving us an experience of summer season and vice-versa is the condition in winter seasons. The tilt of the earths axis is responsible for variation in extremities of the seasons with respect to the geographical location.
