Select the statement that best describes gravity.

1 answer:

Explanation:

Gravity is the force of attraction between two objects. It depends upon the mass of the objects and the distance between the objects. Mathematically, the force of gravity is given by :

$F=G\dfrac{m_1m_2}{d^2}$

Where

G is the universal gravitational constant

$m_1\ and\ m_2$ are masses

d is the distance between two masses

So, statement (2) describes gravity "Gravity is the force of attraction between two objects; it is dependent upon the mass of the objects and the distance between the objects".

Rashid [163]

Answer:

Explanation:

Inital KE = (1/2) m v^2 = (1/2) * 1500 * 50^2 = 1,875,000 J

Final KE = (1/2) * 1500 * 100^2 = 7,500,000 J

But ,

4 * 1875000 = 7500000

so the KE has increased by 4 times.

An 8.5 kg crate is pulled 5.1 m up a 30 degree incline by a rope angled 17 degrees above the incline. The tension in the rope is

Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

1. a $W_t=746.63 J$

b $E_p=212.415 J$

c $W_n=183.96J$

2. $T_e=99.71J$

Explanation:

a). The work done by the tension is:

$W_t=T*dt$

$dt=\frac{5.1}{cos(17)}$

$W_t=140N*\frac{5.1}{cos(17)}$

$W_t=746.63 J$

b). The work done potential of gravity

$E_p=m*g*h$

$h=5.1*sin(17)$

$E_p=8.5kh*9.8*5.1*sin(30)$

$E_p=212.415 J$

c). The work done by the normal force

$W_n=N*d_n$

$d_n=5.1*sin(30)=2.55$

$W_n=8.5kg*9.8*cos(30)*2.55$

$W_n=183.96J$

2. The increase in thermal energy is:

$T_e=F*d$

$F_k=u_k*m*g=0.271*8.5kg*9.8*cos(30)$

$F_k=19.5N$

$T_e=19.55*5.1m$

$T_e=99.71J$

A projectile is launched straight upwards at 75 m/s. Three seconds later, its velocity is...?

yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

V = V0 + a t

V = 75 - 9.8 * 3 = 45.6 m/s
