Is gravity a force ?

Physics
1 answer:
alexandr402 [8]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Gravity ( gravity , weight, traction force) is the force acting on any body on or near the surface of the celestial body directed at its center. Gravity, that is, the force with which the earth , moon , planets, and other celestial bodies or their systems act on other bodies, is theoretically exercised at any distance, but is practically examined on the surface of these bodies as well as at short distances.

What is the change in length of a 1400. m steel, (12x10^-6)/(C0) , pipe for a temperature change of 250.0 degrees Celsius? Remem
8090 [49]

Answer:

\Delta L = 4.2 m

Explanation:

As per the formula of thermal expansion we know that

L = L_o(1 + \alpha\Delta T)

so here we will have

L_o = 1400 m

\alpha = 12 \times 10^{-6} per ^oC

\Delta T = 250 degree C

so here change in the length of the rod is given as

\Delta L = L - L_o

\Delta L = L_o \alpha \Delta T

\Delta L = 1400 (12 \times 10^{-6})(250)

\Delta L = 4.2 m

A charge q1 of -5.00 x 10^-9 C and a charge q2 of -2.00x 10^-9 C are separated by a distance of 40.0 cm. Find the equilibrium po
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the equilibrium position of third charge be x distance from q₁.

Force on third charge due to q₁

= 9 x 10⁹ x 5 x 10⁻⁹ x 15 x 10⁺⁹ / x²

Force on third charge due to q₂

= 9 x 10⁹ x 2 x 10⁻⁹ x 15 x 10⁺⁹ /( .40-x)²

Both the force will act in opposite direction and for balancing , they should be equal.

9 x 10⁹ x 5 x 10⁻⁹ x 15 x 10⁺⁹ / x² = 9 x 10⁹ x 2 x 10⁻⁹ x 15 x 10⁺⁹ /( .40-x)²

5  / x² = 2 / ( .4 - x )²

Taking square root on both sides

2.236 / x = 1.414 / .4 - x

2.236 ( .4 - x ) = 1.414 x

.8944 - 2.236 x = 1.414 x

.8944 = 3.65 x

x = .245 m

24.5 cm

So the third charge should be at a distance of 24.5 cm from q₁ .

During soccer practice, Maya kicked a soccer ball 37° off the ground at 25 m/s. Max, the goalie, caught the ball 60 m away from
amid [387]

Answer:

3.0 seconds

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by considering the horizontal motion of the ball only. In fact, the ball moves by uniform motion (constant speed) along the horizontal direction, since there are no forces acting in this direction. The horizontal speed of the ball is given by:

v_x = v_0 cos \theta = (25 m/s)(cos 37^{\circ})=19.97 m/s

and it does not change during the motion.

We also know that the ball travels a horizontal distance of d = 60 m, so we can find the time it takes to cover the distance by using the equation:

t=\frac{d}{v}=\frac{60 m}{19.97 s}=3.0 s
