This is a poorly written question.

<span>Out of the choices listed, the first one is the only one that includes
a true statement ... the greater the mass of two objects, the greater
the gravitational attraction is between them.</span> 

-- Newton's law of universal gravitation doesn't "suggest" that.  It states it ...
boldly and unequivocally.

-- The law doesn't refer to the "greatness" of the mass of the two objects. 
It refers to the product of their masses.

-- It's true that the law of universal gravitation can be massaged and
manipulated to reveal the existence of gravitational planetary orbits.
But there's a lot more to it than simply the masses.

For example ... the gravitational force between two objects is inversely
proportional to
                           (the distance between the objects)² .

It turns out that IF that exponent were not precisely, exactly  2.000000... ,
then gravitational orbits could not exist.

A disk between vertebrae in the spine is subjected to a shearing force of 600 N. Find its shear deformation, taking it to have t
Art [367]

Answer:

3.34×10^-6m

Explanation:

The shear modulus can also be regarded as the rigidity. It is the ratio of shear stress and shear strain

can be expressed as

shear stress/(shear strain)

= (F/A)/(Lo/ . Δx)

Stress=Force/Area

The sheear stress can be expressed below as

F Lo /(A *Δx)

Where A=area of the disk= πd^2/4

F=shearing force force= 600N

Δx= distance

S= shear modulus= 1 x 109 N/m2

Lo= Lenght of the cylinder= 0.700 cm=7×10^-2m

If we make Δx subject of the formula we have

Δx= FLo/(SA)

If we substitute the Area A we have

Δx= FLo/[S(πd^2/4]

Δx=4FLo/(πd^2 *S)

If we input the values we have

(4×600×0.7×10^-2)/10^9 × 3.14 ×(4×10^-2)^2

= 3.35×10^-6m

Therefore, its shear deformation is 3.35×10^-6m

A=area of the disk= πd^2/4

= [3.142×(4×10^-2)^2]/4

Lady_Fox [76]

An object of mass m attached to a spring of force constant k oscillates with simple harmonic motion. The system's potential energy when kinetic energy of (3/4) E is (1/8) k A².

<h3>What is mechanical energy?</h3>

Mechanical energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy.

Total mechanical energy = P.E max = K.E max

Total mechanical energy = K.E +P.E

Given is the kinetic energy is (3/4)E.

E= (3/4)E + P.E

P.E =  (1/4) E

Maximum potential  energy =E = (1/2) k A²

Here. A is the maximum displacement and k is the spring constant.

The potential energy at kinetic energy of (3/4) E is

P.E = (1/4)E = (1/8) k A²

Therefore, the system's potential energy when kinetic energy of (3/4) E is (1/8) k A².
