Answer:

Gravity is the force of attraction between two objects; it is dependent upon the mass of the objects and the distance between the objects.

Explanation:

Gravity is defined as the force of attraction between two objects. It depends on the masses of objects and the distance between them. The gravitational force between two bodies is given by the universal law of gravitation. According to this law, the force of gravity is :

F=G\dfrac{m_1m_2}{d^2}

Where

G is the universal gravitational constant

m₁ and m₂ are masses of two bodies

d is the distance between two bodies

Hence, the correct statement that describes gravity is (b)

Answer:

The answer is Gravity is the force of attraction between two objects; it is dependent upon the mass of the objects and the distance between the objects.

Explanation:

Gravity is a natural phenomenon by which objects with mass are attracted to each other, mostly observable in the interaction between planets, galaxies and other objects in the universe. It is one of the four fundamental interactions that causes the acceleration experienced by a physical body in the vicinity of an astronomical object. It is also called gravitational interaction or gravitation.

An electron is moving east in a uniform electric field of 1.55 N/C directed to the west. At point A, the velocity of the electro
valkas [14]

Answer:

Final velocity of electron, v=6.45\times 10^5\ m/s    

Explanation:

It is given that,

Electric field, E = 1.55 N/C

Initial velocity at point A, u=4.52\times 10^5\ m/s

We need to find the speed of the electron when it reaches point B which is a distance of 0.395 m east of point A. It can be calculated using third equation of motion as :

v^2=u^2+2as........(1)

a is the acceleration, a=\dfrac{F}{m}

We know that electric force, F = qE

a=\dfrac{qE}{m}

Use above equation in equation (1) as:

v^2=u^2+\dfrac{2qEs}{m}

v^2=(4.52\times 10^5\ m/s)^2+2\times \dfrac{1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C\times 1.55\ N/C}{9.1\times 10^{-31}\ kg}\times 0.395\ m

v = 647302.09 m/s

or

v=6.45\times 10^5\ m/s

So, the final velocity of the electron when it reaches point B is 6.45\times 10^5\ m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

A 27-g steel-jacketed bullet is fired with a velocity of 640 m/s toward a steel plate and ricochets along path CD with a velocit
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

F = - 3.56*10⁵ N

Explanation:

To attempt this question, we use the formula for the relationship between momentum and the amount of movement.

I = F t = Δp

Next, we try to find the time that the average speed in the contact is constant (v = 600m / s), so we say

v = d / t

t = d / v

Given that

m = 26 g = 26 10⁻³ kg

d = 50 mm = 50 10⁻³ m

t = d/v

t = 50 10⁻³ / 600

t = 8.33 10⁻⁵ s

F t = m v - m v₀

This is so, because the bullet bounces the speed sign after the crash is negative

F = m (v-vo) / t

F = 26*10⁻³ (-500 - 640) / 8.33*10⁻⁵

F = - 3.56*10⁵ N

The negative sign is as a result of the force exerted against the bullet

Equation of uniformly accelerated motion​
Romashka [77]

This means acceleration a is constant.

Let

a) vo be the initial speed, at t=0

b) v be the final speed after time t

c) d distance travelled in time t

Then we have:

a) v=vo+a×t

b) v²=vo²+2×a×d (Galilei's equation)

c) d=vo×t+a×t²/2

d) average speed vm=(vo+v)/2
