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.

Discuss the differences between Seismic Reflection and Seismic Refraction
Maru [420]

Explanation:

Seismic refraction is the bending of the seismic waves as they pass geological layers of the earth due to different densities. This is especially true for Primary waves because they can pass through all the layers of the earth both liquid and solid.

Seismic reflectivity is the bouncing back of seismic waves at a boundary of geological layers due to different densities or subsurface formation. This is especially true for secondary waves that are unable to pass through liquid layers of the earth like the outer core and mantle. When they reach the boundary of these layers they bounce back towards the earth's surface.

These properties of P and S waves are used to ‘auscultate’ the epicenter of an earthquake by triangulation.

Two particles of equal mass m are at the vertices of the base of an equilateral triangle. The triangle’s center of mass is midwa
Helga [31]

Answer:Twice of given mass

Explanation:

Given

Two Particles of Equal mass placed at the base of an equilateral Triangle

let mass of two equal masses be m and third mass be m'

Taking one of the masses at origin

Therefore co-ordinates of first mass be (0,0)

Co-ordinates of other equal mass is (a,0)

if a is the length of triangle

co-ordinates of final mass (\frac{a}{2},\frac{\sqrt{3}a}{2})

Given its center of mass is at midway between base and third vertex therefore

x_{cm},y_{cm}=\frac{a}{2},\frac{\sqrt{3}a}{4}

y_{cm}=\frac{m_1y_1+m_2y_2+m_3y_3}{m_1+m_2+m_3}

\frac{\sqrt{3}a}{4}=\frac{m\cdot 0+m\cdot 0+m'\cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}a}{2}}{m+m+m'}

2m+m'=4\times (\frac{m'}{2})

2m+m'=2m'

m'=2m

Suppose you are standing on a scale in an elevator that is accelerating upward. Will the scale read your weight as larger for sm
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

following are the solution to this question:

Explanation:

When I stand at such a scale in an elevated that's already rising upwards, its scale would appear to also be 0 because of free fall and would often reveal that weight whenever the lift is stable.  

In this, the free fall is also known as the object, that is influenced exclusively by gravity, and an object operating only through the influence of gravity is said to be in a free-fall state.

Please help with problem it is much appreciated
Ray Of Light [21]

a. linear pairs, when added together, the angles will make 180 degrees, or a straight line. In this case No, for when you combine the two angles, it is not a straight line

b. False. Vertical angles make two opposite angles that are congruent

c. True. When added together, angles 1 and 4 make a straight line

d. False. As stated for question b, the two opposite angles must be congruent

hope this helps
