Two 20 kg spheres are fixed in place on a y axis, one at y = 0.40
Question:
Two 20 kg spheres are fixed in place on a y axis, one at y = 0.40 m and the other at y = -0.40 m. A 10 kg ball is then released from rest at a point on the x axis that is at a great distance (effectively infinite) from the spheres. If the only forces acting on the ball are the gravitational forces from the spheres, then when the ball reaches the (x, y) point (0.30 m, 0), what are
(a) Its kinetic energy and
(b) The net force on it from the spheres, in unit-vector notation?
Step by Step Answer:
The initial distance from each fixed sphere to the b...View the full answer

In Physics, a force is an influence that can change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. In this video, the concept of force and torque is demonstrated with the practical application of changing the flat tire of the car.
