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.

Consider the system consisting of the box and the spring, but not Earth. How does the energy of the system when the spring is fu
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

the energy when it reaches the ground is equal to the energy when the spring is compressed.

Explanation:

For this comparison let's use the conservation of energy theorem.

Starting point. Compressed spring

         Em₀ = K_e = ½ k x²

Final point. When the box hits the ground

         Em_f = K = ½ m v²

since friction is zero, energy is conserved

          Em₀ = Em_f

          1 / 2k x² = ½ m v²

          v = \sqrt{ \frac{k}{m} }     x

Therefore, the energy when it reaches the ground is equal to the energy when the spring is compressed.

What is the acceleration of a softball if it has a mass of 0.5 kg and hits the cathers glove with a force of 25n
ioda
Acceleration is found if we have the force and mass. 

With the following equation: F = ma, we can find the missing values. 

F = 25n
M = 0.5 kg
a = ?

a = f/m
a = 25/0.5
a = 50

a = 50 m/s

So, the acceleration is 50 m/s^2
