What is the role of gravity when it comes to changing the velocity of objects?

Physics
1 answer:
Alex787 [66]3 years ago
3 0

Gravity is the attraction of every body to every other body due to the masses of each body. The larger the mass, the greater the force. It also depends on the distances: the closer the bodies, the greater the force. Gravity is directed toward the center of a body, and the distance is measured from the center.

When objects fall to the ground, gravity causes them to accelerate. Acceleration is a change in velocity, and velocity, in turn, is a measure of the speed and direction of motion. Gravity causes an object to fall toward the ground at a faster and faster velocity the longer the object falls.

Three heavy rods are all made of the same uniform material. These rods have lengths 3 m, 4 m, and 5 m, and compose the sides of
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

[ 2.67 , 1 ] m

Explanation:

Given:-

- The side lengths of the rods are as follows:

                             a = 4 m , b = 4 m , c = 5 m

                             a = Base , b = Perpendicular , c = Hypotenuse

- All rods are made of same material with uniform density. With  

Find:-

Find the coordinates of the center of mass of the triangle.

Solution:-

- The center of mass of any triangle is at the intersection of its medians.

- So let’s say we have a triangle with vertices at points (0,0) , (a,0) , and (0,b).

  • Median from (0,0) to midpoint (a/2,b/2) of opposite side has equation:

                                       bx−ay=0

  • Median from (a,0) to midpoint (0,b/2) of opposite side has equation:

                                      bx+2ay=ab

  • Median from (0,b) to midpoint (a/2,0) of opposite side has equation:

                                     2bx+ay=ab

  • Solve all three equations simultaneously:

                                     bx−ay=0  , bx = ay

                                     ay + 2ay = ab , 3ay = ab , y = b/3

                                     bx = b/3

                                     x = a / 3

  • So the distance from the median to each leg of the triangle is 1/3 length of other leg.

- So the coordinates of the centroid for right angle triangle would be:

                                   [ 2a/3 , b/3 ]

                                   [ 2.67 , 1 ] m

Water vapor enters the atmosphere through
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

Heat from the Sun causes water to evaporate from the surface of lakes and oceans. This turns the liquid water into water vapor in the atmosphere. Plants, too, help water get into the atmosphere through a process called transpiration! ... Water can also get into the atmosphere from snow and ice.

Most water vapor enters the atmosphere via evaporation and transpiration. Evaporation occurs when a single water molecule on a liquid water surface gains enough kinetic energy (often by solar radiation) to break the bond which holds the molecules together. Really Hopes this helps!
