Gravity holds the system together
valentinak56 [21]3 years ago
7 0
The force of gravity, attracting the Earth and the Moon to each other,
keeps the two bodies in orbit around their common center of mass.

(Gravity also keeps the common center of Earth-mass and Moon-mass
in orbit around the sun.)

How do you think that changing the mass of the pendulum bob will affect the period of the pendulum swing?​
myrzilka [38]
(Mass does not affect the pendulum's swing. The longer the length of string, the farther the pendulum falls; and therefore, the longer the period, or back and forth swing of the pendulum. The greater the amplitude, or angle, the farther the pendulum falls; and therefore, the longer the period.)

One type of potential energy is gravitational potential energy. What is necessary for an object to have gravitational potential
galben [10]

Answer:

Gravitational potential energy is energy an object possesses because of its position in a gravitational field. Since the force required to lift it is equal to its weight, it follows that the gravitational potential energy is equal to its weight times the height to which it is lifted.

A wave of wavelength 0.3 m travels 900 m in 3.0 s. Calculate its frequency.
zzz [600]

Answer:

1000 Hz

Explanation:

<em>The frequency would be 1000 Hz.</em>

The frequency, wavelength, and speed of a wave are related by the equation:

<em>v = fλ ..................(1)</em>

where v = speed of the wave, f = frequency of the wave, and λ = wavelength of the wave.

Making f the subject of the formula:

<em>f = v/λ.........................(2)</em>

Also, speed (v) = distance/time.

From the question, distance = 900 m, time = 3.0 s

Hence, v = 900/3.0 = 300 m/s

Substitute v = 300 and λ = 0.3  into equation (2):

f = 300/0.3 = 1000 Hz

Consider the speed of light in another universe to be only 100 m/s. Two cars are traveling along a highway in opposite direction
olganol [36]

Answer:

-62.45m/s and +62.45m/s

Explanation:

The formula for relativistic speed

This is the speed of A with respect to B

V_{AB}=\frac{V_{A}-V_{B}}{1-\frac{V_{A}V_{B}}{C^2} }

where

V_{A} will be the velocity of person 1: 39m/s

V_{B} will be the velocity of person 2: -31m/s (negative because is travelling in opposite direction)

and C the velocity of light: 100m/s

The velocity of person 1 measured by person 2 is:

V_{AB}=\frac{39m/s-(-31m/s)}{1-\frac{(39m/s)(-31m/s)}{(100m/s)^2}}=62.45m/s

The velocity of person 2 measured by person 1 is:

V_{BA}=\frac{V_{B}-V_{A}}{1-\frac{V_{B}V_{A}}{C^2} }

V_{BA}=\frac{-31m/s-39m/s}{1-\frac{(-31m/s)(39m/s)}{(100)^2} }=-62.45m/s
