According to Newton’s law of universal gravitation, which statement is true?

Physics
2 answers:
olasank [31]3 years ago

A) Falling objects accelerate as they approach the ground.

True

Reason : as the falling object approach the ground, acceleration due to gravity in down direction acts on it and accelerate it.

B) The weight of an object increases as it moves away from the ground.

False

Reason : As the object moves away from the ground, acceleration due to gravity acting on the object decreases. since the weight directly depends on the acceleration due to gravity, hence the weight decreases too.

C) Lighter objects experience a lower acceleration than heavier objects.

False

Reason : Since acceleration due to gravity is independent of the mass.

D) The mass of an object increases as it moves closer to the ground.

False

Reason : Since mass of an object is independent of the acceleration due to gravity.

Option (a) is correct.

Falling objects accelerate as they approach the ground.This is because of the force of gravity acting on the falling objects. so the velocity of these objects increases continuously as they approach the ground. the acceleration acting on the falling objects is a constant ( close to the surface of earth) and is called as acceleration due to gravity denoted by g. value of g=9.8 m/s².

Suppose you wanted to break a meter stick over your knee. The cross-section of a meter stick is rectangular. Will it be easier t
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

It will be easier to break the meter rule with the long side against my knee.

Explanation:

To break the meter rule involves the principle of bending moment. The long side will require less force to generate the same amount of bending moment that will have to be generated to break the meter rule. The short side on the other hand will require more force to generate this mount of bending moment. This is because the shorter has a very small surface area, which concentrates the force on your knee. The pressure is then dissipated as more pressure to your knee. Th longer side has a lesser surface area so, most of the force is used in breaking the meter rule.

The components of vector A are:
Korvikt [17]

here as it is given that x component of the vector is positive while y component of the vector is negative so we can say the vector must inclined in Fourth quadrant.

So angle must be more than 270 degree and less than 360 degree

Now in order to find the value we can say that

tan\theta = \frac{opposite\: side}{adjacent\: side}

tan\theta = \frac{8.6}{6.1}

\theta = tan^{-1}1.41

\theta = 54.65^0

so it is inclined at above angle with X axis in fourth quadrant

Now if angle is to be measured counterclockwise then its magnitude will be

\theta = 360 - 54.65 = 305.3^0

so the correct answer will be 305 degree

Answer:

Bottle opener works on a fulcrum.

Explanation:

A bottle opener is a second-class lever because the pivot point is at one end of the opener and the load is in the middle.

The magnitude is pointing towards the origin and is at - 20 degrees. The combination makes 160 with the x axis: C answer

Eight

They keep doing this. They use distance where they should use displacement but they use distance to try and fool you. It's a mighty poor practice.

The distance between the start and end points is the displacement. That "distance" is 180*sqrt(25) = 900 . The actual distance should be 180*4 + 180*3 = 720 + 540 = 1260. That's what a car's odometer or a bicycle odometer would read.  the difference is 360.

I really do object to the wording, but what can I do?

Nine

Nine is the same thing as 8.

Displacement = sqrt(400^2 + 80^2)= sqrt(166400) = 408

The actual distance is 400 + 80 = 480

The difference is the answer = 480 - 408 = 72 <<<< Answer

Ten

This is just the displacement magnitude.

dis = sqrt(30^2 + 80^2)

dis = sqrt(900 + 6400)

dis = sqrt(7300)

dis = 85.44 <<<< Answer D

Vi =  2.15*Sin(30) = 1.075 m/s

vf = 0

a = - 9.81

t = ?

<u>Formula</u>

a = (vf - vi)/t

<u>Solve</u>

-9.81 =  (0 - 1.075)/t

- 9.81 * t = -1.075

t = 0.11 seconds

Thirteen

I'm leaving this last one to you. You need the initial height xo to answer it properly. Judging by the other questions, this one is right.

Edit

That is a surprise! Really quickly

d = 3.2 m

a = - 9.82

vf = 0

vi = ?

vf^2 = vi^2 - 2*a*d

0 = vi^2 - 2*9.81*3.2

vi = sqrt(19.62*3.2)

vi = 8.0  m/s   But that is the vertical component of the speed

v = vi/sin(25)

v = 8.0/sin(25) = 11
