Select the statement that best describes gravity.

Physics
1 answer:
pav-90 [236]3 years ago
6 0

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".

John accidentally drops his keys off the balcony at his apartment. John's friend Tony just happens to walk by at that moment and
EleoNora [17]

Explanation:

In order to find out if the keys will reach John or not, we can use the formula of projectile motion to find the maximum height reached by the keys:

H = V²Sin²θ/2g

where,

V = Launch Speed = 18 m/s

θ = Launch Angle = 40°

g = 9.8 m/s²

Therefore,

H = (18 m/s)²[Sin 40°]²/(2)(9.8 m/s²)

H = 6.83 m

Hence, the maximum height that can be reached by the projectile or the keys is greater than the height of John's Balcony(5.33 m).

Therefore, the keys will make it back to John.

Assuming that the students worldwide are being considered, because of the extremely large population, this can be considered as a binomial distribution. A normal distribution is used most usually as a fair approximation of the binomial. The mean is the expectation, therefore:<span>

What is the relationship between temperature and altitude in the stratosphere? (2 points).
stealth61 [152]
As altitude increases, temperature increases. The stratosphere is the part of the atmosphere that starts in the tropopause and ends in the estratopause. In the troposphere, the air is close to the Earth surface. The air surface can absorb more sunlight energy than the air, so the Earth surface heats the air. As you go higher, the distance to the Earth surface is higher, so the temperature is lower. The troposphere ends in the tropopause, where this trend changes. In the estratopause, there is a lot of ozone, which absorbs the dangerous UV radiation and converts into heat. That heat warms the air. So the air which is close to the estratopause is warm because of the heat released by the ozone reactions. The tropopause is far from the Earth surface and far from the ozone layer, that’s why it is cold. So the tropopause is cold and the estratopause is warm, which means: the air becomes warmer <span>as you rise above the tropopause until you get to the estratopause.</span>

When will an object sink in water, according to Archimedes' principle?​
inna [77]

Answer:

If the buoyant force is greater than the object's weight, the object will rise to the surface and float. If the buoyant force is less than the object's weight, the object will sink. If the buoyant force equals the object's weight, the object will remain suspended at that depth.
