Nesterboy [21]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

the rock will continue at the same speed unless it is affected by another force such as gravity and so if you threw it it will continue to move unless affected by a force

Explanation:

this is because Newton's first law states that every object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless compelled to change its state by the action of an external force.

The bodies in this universe attract one another name the scientist who propounded this statement​
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

It was proposed by Isaac Newton

Explanation:

The law of universal attraction of expression

          F = G \ \frac{m_1m_2}{ r^2}G m1m2 / r ^ 2

where G is a constant, m₁ and m₂ are the masses of the bodies and r the distance between them.

It was proposed by Isaac Newton

With this law Newton explained that the force that pulls the moon towards the earth is the same as that which attracts an apple towards the earth

A ball is thrown up at a speed of 20 m/s.
ioda

Given:

(Initial velocity)u=20 m/s

At the maximum height the final velocity of the ball is 0.

Also since it is a free falling object the acceleration acting on the ball is due to gravity g.

Thus a=- 9.8 m/s^2

Now consider the equation

v^2-u^2= 2as

Where v is the final velocity which is measured in m/s

Where u is the initial velocity which is measured in m/s

a is the acceleration due to gravity measured in m/s^2

s is the displacement of the ball in this case it is the maximum height attained by the ball which is measured in m.

Substituting the given values in the above formula we get

0-(20x20)= 2 x- 9.8 x s

s= 400/19.6= 20.41m

Thus the maximum height attained is 20.41 m by the ball

After landing on an unfamiliar planet, a space explorer constructs a simple pendulum of length 53.0 cm . The explorer finds that
larisa86 [58]

Answer:

12.4 m/s²

Explanation:

L = length of the simple pendulum = 53 cm = 0.53 m

n = Number of full swing cycles = 99.0

t = Total time taken = 128 s

T = Time period of the pendulum

g = magnitude of gravitational acceleration on the planet

Time period of the pendulum is given as

T = \frac{t}{n}

T = \frac{128}{99}

T = 1.3 sec

Time period of the pendulum is also given as

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}

1.3 = 2(3.14) \sqrt{\frac{0.53}{g}}

g = 12.4 m/s²
