No, we can not add the magnitudes of those two forces.

<h3>What is Gravitational Force?</h3>

An attractive force between masses is a gravitational force. According to Isaac Newton's second law, F = ma, a gravitational force generates an acceleration just like all other forces do. Remember that according to Newton's second law, a body will accelerate if there is a net force acting on it in an inertial frame of reference (a coordinate system travelling at a constant speed). According to Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation, when two bodies, such as the Earth and the Sun, are in close proximity to one another, an attractive force naturally attracts them. This attraction results in an acceleration of the two objects.

Consider massive gliders that slide friction-free along a horizontal air track. Glider A has a mass of 1 kg, a speed of 1 m/s, a
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

0.167m/s

Explanation:

According to law of conservation of momentum which States that the sum of momentum of bodies before collision is equal to the sum of the bodies after collision. The bodies move with a common velocity after collision.

Given momentum = Maas × velocity.

Momentum of glider A = 1kg×1m/s

Momentum of glider = 1kgm/s

Momentum of glider B = 5kg × 0m/s

The initial velocity of glider B is zero since it is at rest.

Momentum of glider B = 0kgm/s

Momentum of the bodies after collision = (mA+mB)v where;

mA and mB are the masses of the gliders

v is their common velocity after collision.

Momentum = (1+5)v

Momentum after collision = 6v

According to the law of conservation of momentum;

1kgm/s + 0kgm/s = 6v

1 =6v

V =1/6m/s

Their speed after collision will be 0.167m/s

Atmospheric pressure and density at the top of Mount Everest ​
Art [367]

The summit of Mount Everest has an average pressure around 30 kPa. ... A barometer also measures variations in atmospheric pressure. As altitude increases, the air becomes thinner, the density of air decreases, and the pressure of the air decreases as well.

Elemental analysis of the unknown gas from part a revealed that it is 30.45% n and 69.55% o by mass. What is the molecular formu
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

the molecular formula for the gas is NO₂

Explanation:

since it contains

Nitrogen = n → 30.45%

Oxygen = o → 69.55%

and 30.45%+69.55% = 100% , then the gas only contains nitrogen and oxygen

Also we know that the proportion of oxygen over nitrogen  is

proportion of oxygen over nitrogen  = moles of oxygen / moles of nitrogen

since

moles = mass / molecular weight

then for a sample of 100 gr of the unknown gas

mass of oxygen = 69.55%*100 gr = 69.55 gr

mass of Nitrogen = 30.45%*100 gr = 30.45 gr

proportion of oxygen over nitrogen = (mass of oxygen/ molecular weight)/(mass of nitrogen / molecular weight of nitrogen ) =  (69.55 gr/ 16 gr/mol) /( 30.45 gr /14 gr/mol) = 1.998 mol of O/ mol of N≈ 2 mol of O/ mol of N

therefore there are 2 atoms of oxygen per atom of nitrogen

thus the molecular formula for the gas is:

NO₂
