In 1665 Sir Isaac Newton proposed the fundamental law of gravitation as a universal force of attraction between any two bodies.

What does this theory state about the force that makes an apple fall and the force that keeps the moon in its orbit?

Explanation:

According to Newton's law of gravitation, the force of attraction acting between the objects is directly proportional to the product of the masses of the objects and is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

Every particles attracts every other particles in the Universe according to Newton's law of gravitation. This is due to the gravitational force acting between the objects.

The force of gravitation depends on the masses on the objects. The mass of the earth is larger than the apple. Then, an apple will fall on the earth.

An apple falls on the earth due to the force of gravitation between an apple and the earth.

The mass of the earth is larger than the moon. The force of gravitation is responsible to keep the moons in its orbits. It is balanced by the centripetal force. Otherwise, the moon will fall on the earth.

In a race, Usain Bolt accelerates at
jeka94

Answer:

65.87 s

Explanation:

For the first time,

Applying

v² = u²+2as.............. Equation 1

Where v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, a = acceleration, s = distance

From the question,

Given:  u = 0 m/s (from rest), a = 1.99 m/s², s = 60 m

Substitute these values into equation 1

v² = 0²+2(1.99)(60)

v² = 238.8

v = √238.8

v = 15.45 m/s

Therefore, time taken for the first 60 m is

t = (v-u)/a............ Equation 2

t = (15.45-0)/1.99

t = 7.77 s

For the final 40 meter,

t = (v-u)/a

Given: v = 0 m/s(decelerates), u = 15.45 m/s, a = -0.266 m/s²

Substitute into the equation above

t = (0-15.45)/-0.266

t = 58.1 seconds

Hence total time taken to cover the distance

T = 7.77+58.1

T = 65.87 s

The position of an electron is given by , with t in seconds and in meters. At t = 3.99 s, what are (a) the x-component, (b) the
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

A. Vx = 3.63 m/s

B. Vy = -45.73 m/s

C. |V| = 45.87 m/s

D. θ = -85.46°

Explanation:

Given that position, r, is given as:

r = 3.63tˆi − 5.73t^2ˆj + 8.16ˆk

Velocity is the derivative of position, r:

V = dr/dt = 3.63 - 11.46t^j

A. x component of velocity, Vx = 3.63 m/s

B. y component of velocity, Vy = -11.46t

t = 3.99 secs,

Vy = - 11.46 * 3.99 = -45.73 m/s

C. Magnitude of velocity, |V| = √[(-45.73)² + 3.63²]

|V| = √(2091.2329 + 13.1769)

|V| = √(2104.4098)

|V| = 45.87 m/s

D. Angle of the velocity relative to the x axis, θ is given as:

tanθ = Vy/Vx

tanθ = -45.73/3.63

tanθ = -12.6

θ = -85.46°

Which material will displace a volume of water? Which material will displace a volume of water less than its own volume? Which m
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

1. all of them

2. cork and wax

3. iron, lead, and aluminum

4. none of them

Explanation:

1.Which material will displace a volume of water?  all of them

When an object is introduced into a container with a volume of water, a volume of liquid equal to the volume of the object is displaced

2.Which material will displace a volume of water less than its own volume?

cork and wax

because  the density of the object is less than that of the displaced liquid

3.Which material will displace a volume of water equal to its own volume?

iron, lead, and aluminum

because  Arquimedes's principle: any body plunged inside a fluid in this case water experiences an ascending force called push, equivalent to the weight of the fluid removed by the body

4.Which material will displace a volume of water greater than its own volume?

None of them
