You need to know everything is made of atoms they are always colliding and they are never still because you'd think that every thing in space is still all the time even if it's not making visibly

It starts to explain how the solar system stays "together" so to speak, and how the solar system fits into the Milky Way galaxy, and how the galaxies fit together to make a universe of galaxies.
It does this through the idea of the universal force of gravitational attraction (always attractive in N's case) saying that it depends on the masses of the objects concerned, their separation, and a universal gravity constant called G (different from g which is the acceleration of gravity about 10m/s^2)
F=Gm1m2/r^2 is the (inverse square law) force and it applies to all bodies in the universe.

Skater 1 has a mass of 45 kg and is at rest. Skater 2 has a mass of 50 kg and is moving slowly at a constant velocity of 3.2 m/s

algol13

Answer:

None

Explanation:

Force, F is given by ma where m is the mass of an object and a is acceleration

Acceleration is the rate of change in velocity per unit time. Since skaters with mass of 75 kg and 50 kg are moving at a constant speed, there is no acceleration hence F=50*0=0 and F=75*0=0

For skater of 45 kg, he is at rest to mean the initial and final velocitu of the skater is zero hence no acceleration, the force will be 45*0=0

Therefore, none of the skaters will experience a greater net force.

A truck is traveling due north at 50 km/hr approaching a crossroad. On a perpendicular road a police car is traveling west towar

kirill [66]

Answer: $45\hat{i}+50\hat{j}$

Explanation:

Truck velocity=50 km/hr

police car velocity =45 km/hr

Let they start at t=0 s

After one hour

truck displacement $=50\times 1=50 km$

In vector Form $(r_1)=50\hat{j}$

For Police car displacement $=45\times 1=45 km$

in vector form $(r_2)=-45\hat{i}$

$r_{12}=50\hat{j}-(-45\hat{i})$

$r_{12}=45\hat{i}+50\hat{j}$

A softball has a mass of 0.18 kg. What is the gravitational force on Earth due to the ball, and what is the Earth's resulting ac

alexgriva [62]

Answer:F=1.7802

Explanation:

Since we've been given the mass to be .18kg,we are asked to find the Force of which the formulae is

F=ma where f-force,m-mass and a-acceleration due to gravity

So we can just substitute

F-?.m=.18 and a9.89

F=.18×9.89

F=1.7802N

Why is a spectrum of colors produced when white light passes through a prism?

Mkey [24]

Explanation: White light is all colors of light in one, so when white light passes through a prism, the light gets refracted and breaks apart into all of the colors on the visible light spectrum.
