Homework Statement
2 protons in a Helium nucleus are separated by about 2x10^-15 m. Calculate the approximate magnitude of the strong force holding the 2 protons together.Homework Equations
Electromagnetic force equation?The Attempt at a Solution
Okay now I am thinking that the strong force is...
Homework Statement
A system contains two metal balls hanging from strings of length !.0 m. Pendulum A has a mass of 2.0 kg and B has a period of 2.0s. They are released from the same height at the same time and collide right in the middle of their arcs. If pendulum A comes to a complete stop...
The friction force is dependant upon the Normal force and coeffeiciant of friction. Is that correct? So would i calculate the coefficiant first with the normal force being = to 10(9.81) and the friction force equal to 75 N? Then as the mass increases the Fn will increase and i can multiply that...
Homework Statement
An empty wagon with mass 10 kg is pulled by a force of 75 N at a constant speed. Rain falls collecting in the wagon at a rate of 375mm^3/s. The density of water is 1g/mm^3.
A) Make a table showing how much force must be exerted on the wagon to keep it moving at a constant...
So you would get an equation identical to (9.0x10^4)/(500^2)=(mass of asteroid C)/(1500^2). And you solve to get 8.1x10^5 kg? and then i would do the same with the Y axis asteroids? And for B, once I know their masses, is there where I would use a right triangle to find their distance and solve...
since the satellite is at equillibrium, that means there is no acceleration or unbalanced forced in the system. Am i right in that the only forces in action are the one that each asteroid has on the satellitle and the four oppositly directed forces the satellite has on the asteroids? I don't see...
Homework Statement
A 100 kg satellite is surrounded by four asteroids. Asteroid A has a mass of 8.5x10^5 kg and is 800 km North of the satellite. Asteroid D has a mass of 9.0x10^4 kg and is 500 km West of the satellite. Asteroid B is 1200 km south of the satellite and asteroid C is 1500 km...
