5. Two objects of masses 1kg and 2kg respectively are released from rest when their separation is 10 m. assuming that on it mutual gravitational force act on them, find the velocity of each of them when separation becomes 5m.​

Respuesta :

The velocity of 1kg and 2 kg mass when separation becomes 5m is 1.334 x 10⁻¹¹ m/s and 6.67 x 10⁻¹² m/s respectively.

Force between the masses

The gravitational force between the masses is determined as follows;

[tex]F = \frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2} \\\\F = \frac{(6.67 \times 10^{-11}) (1)(2)}{10^2} \\\\F = 1.334 \times 10^{-12} \ N[/tex]

Acceleration of each objects

a = F/m

a₁ = (1.334 x 10⁻¹²) / (1)

a₁ = 1.334 x 10⁻¹² m/s²

a₂ = (1.334 x 10⁻¹²) / (2)

a₂ = 6.67 x 10⁻¹³ m/s²

Velocity of each object

v = u + 2ad

v₁ = u₁ + 2a₁d

v₁ = 0 + 2( 1.334 x 10⁻¹² )(5)

v₁ = 1.334 x 10⁻¹¹ m/s

v₂ = u₂ + 2a₂d

v₂ = (0) + 2(6.67 x 10⁻¹³)(5)

v₂ = 6.67 x 10⁻¹² m/s
