Which one of the following does not accurately describe the universal gravitational law? A. Gravitational force is proportional

to the square of the distance between the centers of both bodies. B. The object with the smaller mass does most of the moving because the object with the larger mass has too much inertia to move any noticeable amount. C. Gravitational force is proportional to the product of the two masses. D. Every object in the universe that has mass attracts every other object in the universe that has mass.

<span>A. Gravitational force is proportional to the square of the distance between the centers of both bodies.

FALSE:

Gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the centers of both bodies.

Which you can see from the formula: F = G * [m*M] /(d^2)

As you see in the equation, d^2 is in the denominator so the bigger d^2 (the square of the distance between the centers) of the objects the smaller the gravitational force.

B. The object with the smaller mass does most of the moving because the object with the larger mass has too much inertia to move any noticeable amount.

TRUE:

F = mass * acceleration => acceleration = F / mass => the larger the mass the smaller the acceleration.


C. Gravitational force is proportional to the product of the two masses.

TRUE:

F = G [m*M] / (d^2)

The product of the two masses, m*M, is in the numerator, so F is proportional to this product.

D. Every object in the universe that has mass attracts every other object in the universe that has mass.

TRUE: that is a Universal Law discovered by Sir Isaac Newton.

Consider an opaque horizontal plate that is well insulated on its back side. The irradiation on the plate is 2500 W/m2, of which
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

i. 0.34

ii. 0.4

iii. 1700 w/m²

iv. 2211.36 w/m²

Explanation:

Given that

Irradiation of the plate, G = 2500 w/m²

Reflected rays, p = 500 w/m²

Emissive power, E = 1200 w/m²

See attachment for calculations

A gas undergoes two processes. In the first, the volume remains constant at 0.200 m3 and the pressure increases from 1.00×105 Pa
Alborosie
<h2>The work done = - 2 x 10⁴ J</h2>

Explanation:

In the first case , the volume is kept constant and pressure varies .

In isothermal process  , the work done

W₁ = V x ΔP

here V is the volume of gas and ΔP is the change in pressure

Thus W₁ = 0

Because there is no change in volume , therefore displacement is zero .

In second case pressure is constant , but volume changes

Thus W₂ = P x ΔV

here P is the pressure  and ΔV is the change in volume

Therefore W₂ = 4 x 10⁵ x 5 x 10⁻² = 2 x 10⁴ J

The total work done W = - 2 x 10⁴ J

Because the work done in compression is negative .
