The Law of Universal Gravitation 

- Gravity is an attractive force that pulls two objects toward one another. 
Gravity is stronger coming from heavy objects when compared to light objects. The force of gravity weakens as the distance between objects increases. 

- All objects in the universe feel the effects of gravity. Us humans feel the Earth’s gravitational pull towards its center. The Sun, which is larger than the other planets, pulls all of them toward itself, and each planet pulls back against the Sun. Since they are much smaller than the Sun, their pull is much weaker. 

- Humans have a gravitational pull toward other humans, but it is weak and not noticeable. Therefore, the force of gravity diminishes with the decrease in size.

The force due of attraction between two bodies is proportional to the mass of both objects but inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

20.What factor is more important in determining electrical force
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

20.The first factor is the amount of charge on each object. The greater the charge, the greater the electric force. The second factor is the distance between the charges. The closer together the charges are, the greater the electric force is

what is your weight in newtons if your potential energy is equal to 1000 joules and your mass is 60 kg
Darina [25.2K]

Your potential energy and mass don't tell what your weight is.

If I walk up from the first floor to the second floor, my weight hasn't
changed even though my potential energy has increased.

An 8.50 m long ladder leans against the side of a building. The ladder is initially inclined at an angle of 47.0° to the horizon
erastova [34]

The angle of the ladder inclined with respect to the horizontal after being moved a distance of 0.82 m closer to the building is 53.84°

cos θ = Adjacent side / Hypotenuse

θ_{1} = 47°

Hypotenuse = Length of ladder = 8.5 m

cos 47° = Adjacent side / 8.5

Adjacent side = Initial distance of base of ladder from the building = 5.8 m

Adjacent side 2 = Final distance of base of ladder from the building

Adjacent side 2 = 5.8 - 0.82 = 4.98 m

cos θ_{2} = Adjacent side 2 / Hypotenuse

cos θ_{2} = 4.98 / 8.5 = 0.59

θ_{2} = cos^{-1} ( 0.59 )

θ_{2} = 53.84°

The formula used above is one of trigonometric ratios. Trigonometric ratios can used only in a right angled triangle where one of the angles in at 90 degrees and the other two angles are less than 90 degrees.

Therefore, the angle of the ladder inclined with respect to the horizontal after being moved is 53.84°

A spring with spring constant of 34 N/m is stretched 0.12 m from its equilibrium position. How much work must be done to stretch
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:0.253Joules

Explanation:

First, we will calculate the force required to stretch the string. According to Hooke's law, the force applied to an elastic material or string is directly proportional to its extension.

F = ke where;

F is the force

k is spring constant = 34N/m

e is the extension = 0.12m

F = 34× 0.12 = 4.08N

To get work done,

Work is said to be done if the force applied to an object cause the body to move a distance from its initial position.

Work done = Force × Distance

Since F = 4.08m, distance = 0.062m

Work done = 4.08 × 0.062

Work done = 0.253Joules

Therefore, work done to stretch the string to an additional 0.062 m distance is 0.253Joules

What combines to form bonds in compounds?
Mila [183]
A chemical compound consists of 2 or more chemical elements. They can be separated into simpler substances. Atoms of elements can be combined to form compounds. Molecules are groups of 2 or more atoms held together by chemical bonds. Minerals are chemical compound that can be found in nature. Valence is a measure of the combining power of an element.Answer: A. Atoms of elements.
