Answer:

A. I and III only

Explanation:

Gravity is one of the four fundamental forces that exist in nature. The other fundamental quantities are the electromagnetic interaction force, the weak force and the strong force. In a simple way, gravity is the quantity responsible for defining the weight of a body, vertical and downward force that keeps us united to the planet. Gravity is extremely important for life and for the functioning of our planet in the solar system.

Among several moments when gravity was influential, we can mention:

In the early stages of solar system formation, a fragment of an interstellar cloud of dust and gas collapsed and began rotating under the influence of gravity.
Gravity caused small particles in the rotating solar nebula to stick together and form larger particles. This process repeated itself, forming larger and larger particles that eventually became planets.

Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

A) 3.13 m/s

B) 5.34 N

C) W = 26.9 J

Explanation:

We are told that the position as a function of time is given by;

x(t) = αt² + βt³

Where;

α = 0.210 m/s² and β = 2.04×10^(−2) m/s³ = 0.0204 m/s³

Thus;

x(t) = 0.21t² + 0.0204t³

A) Velocity is gotten from the derivative of the displacement.

Thus;

v(t) = x'(t) = 2(0.21t) + 3(0.0204t²)

v(t) = 0.42t + 0.0612t²

v(4.5) = 0.42(4.5) + 0.0612(4.5)²

v(4.5) = 3.1293 m/s ≈ 3.13 m/s

B) acceleration is gotten from the derivative of the velocity

a(t) = v'(t) = 0.42 + 2(0.0612t)

a(4.5) = 0.42 + 2(0.0612 × 4.5)

a(4.5) = 0.9708 m/s²

Force = ma = 5.5 × 0.9708

F = 5.3394 N ≈ 5.34 N

C) Since no friction, work done is kinetic energy.

Thus;

W = ½mv²

W = ½ × 5.5 × 3.1293²

W = 26.9 J

A small object of mass 3.82 g and charge -16.5 µC is suspended motionless above the ground when immersed in a uniform electric f

horrorfan [7]

Answer:

2271.16N/C upward

Explanation:

The diagram well illustrate all the forces acting on the mass. The weight is acting downward and the force is acting upward in other to balance the weight.since the question says it is motionless, then indeed the forces are balanced.

First we determine the downward weight using

$W=mg\\g=9.81m/s^{2}$

Hence for a mass of 3.82g 0r 0.00382kg we have the weight to be

$W=0.00382kg*9.81m/s^{2}$

$W=0.0375N$

To calculate the electric field,

$E=f/q\\E=0.0375/16.5*10^{-6} \\E=2271.16N/C$

Since the charge on the mass is negative, in order to generate upward force, there must be a like charge below it that is repelling it, Hebce we can conclude that the electric field lines are upward.

Hence the magnitude of the electric force is 2271.16N/C and the direction is upward

21. A toy car starts from rest and begins to

Bond [772]

Answer:

v = 66 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

The initial velocity of a car, u = 0

Acceleration of the car, a = 11 m/s²

We need to find the final velocity of the toy after 6 seconds.

Let v is the final velocity. It can be calculated using first equation of motion. It is given by :

v = u +at

v = 0 + 11 m/s² × 6 s

v = 66 m/s

So, the final velocity of the car is 66 m/s.

A steel ball bearing with a radius of 1.5 cm forms an image of an object that has been placed 1.1 cm away from the bearing’s sur

Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

given

R = 1.5 cm

object distance, u = 1.1 cm

focal length of the ball, f = -R/2

= -1.5/2

= -0.75 cm

let v is the image distance

use, 1/u + 1/v = 1/f

1/v = 1/f - 1/u

1/v = 1/(-0.75) - 1/(1.1)

v = -0.446 cm <<<<<---------------Answer

magnification, m = -v/u

= -(-0.446)/1.1

= 0.405 <<<<<<<<<---------------Answer

The image is virtual

The image is upright

given

R = 1.5 cm

object distance, u = 1.1 cm

focal length of the ball, f = -R/2

= -1.5/2

= -0.75 cm

let v is the image distance

use, 1/u + 1/v = 1/f

1/v = 1/f - 1/u

1/v = 1/(-0.75) - 1/(1.1)

v = -0.446 cm <<<<<---------------Answer

magnification, m = -v/u

= -(-0.446)/1.1

= 0.405 <<<<<<<<<---------------Answer

Kindly check the diagram in the attached image below.
