<span>The intensity of an earthquake is dependent on one's proximity to the focus of the quake, also called the "epicenter" and is based on observations of the shaking of the ground on humans, structures, and the natural landscape.</span>

Which statements are true concerning Newton's law of gravitation? The gravitational force is related to the mass of each object.
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

The gravitational force is related to the mass of each object.

The gravitational force is an attractive force.

Explanation:

Gravitational force is a long range force of attraction between any two masses.

Mathematically given as :

F=G.\frac{m_1.m_2}{r^2}

where:

m_1 & m_2 are the masses

r= distance between the center of mass of the two objects.

G= gravitational constant = 6.67\times 10^{-11} m^3.kg^{-1}.s^{-2}

From the above relation of eq. (1) it is clear that,

Gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance and directly proportional to the masses.

The mass of an object is independent of its size due to the fact that density may vary for different objects.

The force of gravity varies with height as:

\frac{g}{g_x} =(\frac{r_x}{r} )^2

where:

g=9.8\,m.s^{-2}

g_x= gravity at height r_x of the center of mass of the object from the center of mass of the earth.

and we know that force:

F=m\times g

where: m= mass of the object.

A river flows at 2m/s. The velocity of a ferry relative to the shore is 4m /s at right angle to the current. What is the velocit
monitta

The velocity of the ferry relative to the current is 4.5 m/s.

<h3>Relative velocity</h3>
  • Relative velocity is the velocity of a body as observed from the reference point of another body either stationary or in motion.

Since the river is flowing parallel to the shore and the ferry is moving perpendicular to the shore, their velocities are at right angles to each other.

The two velocities form a right angled-triangle of sides 2, 4 and a hypotenuse which gives the relative velocity of the ferry to the current.

Using Pythagoras rule:

  • c² = a² + b²
  • Let c be the hypotenuse
  • a =  velocity of the ferry, and
  • b = the velocity of the current, and

c² = 4² + 2²

c² = 16 + 4

c = 20

c = √20

c = 4.47 m/s

c ≈ 4.5 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the ferry relative to the current is 4.5 m/s.

Which statement is correct? (2 points)
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

When a neutral atom looses an electron to another neutral atom, two charged atoms are created.

Explanation:

On the off chance that one of the two unbiased particle looses an electron, it turns out to be emphatically (charge: +1), in light of the fact that the electron conveys a charge of - 1. Thus, the other atom which acknowledges the electron turns out to be adversely charged (charge: - 1). And in the end, we will have two charged atoms.
