Newton’s law of universal gravitation states that the force of gravity

1 answer:

8 0

All of the above as it states that "a particle attracts every other particle in the universe using a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers"

A ball rolls forward in the grass slowing down as it rolls?

olga nikolaevna [1]

Yes it does, uh huh. It slows down as it rolls. That's a fact.

In order for the ball to roll forward, it has to push grass out of the way. That takes energy. To bend each blade of grass out of its way, the ball has to use a tiny bit of the kinetic energy that it has, so it gradually runs out of kinetic energy. When its kinetic energy is all gone, it stops moving.

You throw a bouncy rubber ball and a wet lump of clay, both of mass m, at a wall. Both strike the wall at speed v, but while the

Answer:

The fifth option is the correct answer: mv; 2 mv

Explanation:

Change of Momentum

Assume an object has a momentum p1 and after some interaction it now has a momentum p2, the change of momentum is

$\Delta p=p_2-p_1$

The momentum is computed as

$p=mv$

Where m is the mass of the object and v its speed. Now let's analyze the situation of both the ball and the clay.

The clay has an initial speed v and a mass m, thus its initial momentum is

$p_1=mv$

When it hits the wall, it sticks, thus its final speed is 0 and

$p_2=0$

The change of momentum is

$\Delta p=0-mv=-mv$

The absolute change is mv

Now for the ball, the initial condition is the same as it was for the clay, but the ball hits back at the same speed, thus its final momentum is

$p_2=-mv$

The change of momentum is

$\Delta p=-mv-mv=-2mv$

The absolute change is 2mv

The fifth option is the correct answer: mv; 2 mv

Identify three situations in which convection occurs

hodyreva [135]

There are three types of heat conduction through substances. These are named as conduction,convection and radiation .here we have been given convection.

Convection is the type of mode of conduction of heat in which heat will flow though a liquid and gases due to the direct physical movement of particles.In this process the hotter particles will go upward as they become lighter and cooler,heavier particles come downward which after being heated up go upward .Hence a convectional current is formed for which whole of the liquid or gas gets heated.

There are different life examples of convection.

One may take an simple example of water in a container.The water molecules which are present bottom part of the container will be heated up first and go upward.The upper particles will come downward and they will constitute a convectional current.

Another life example is the flow of wind from one region to another region.the air at hotter region will become lighter and goes upward and the wind starts flowing from cold region region in order to occupy the vacant space.

Another example is the hot air balloon rising up..It is also another example of convection of heat
