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

Physics

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.

Sloan [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Time to cover first 100 km = 1 hour.

time remaining = 3.15 - 1 = 2.15 hour .

Time to cover next 42 km = 1 hour .

Time remaining = 2.15-1 = 1.15 hour.

Distance to be covered = 310 - 142

= 168 km

least speed needed = distance remaining / time remaining

= 168 / 1.15

= 146.08 km / h .

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

The  frequencies are  f_n  =  n (0.875 )

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The speed of the wave is  v  =  0.700 \  m/s

   The  length of vibrating  clothesline is  L  =  40.0 \  cm = 0.4 \ m

Generally the fundamental frequency is  mathematically represented as

        f =  \frac{v}{2 L  }

=>     f =  \frac{ 0.700 }{2 *  0.4   }

=>     f =  0.875 \  Hz

Now  this other frequencies of vibration experience by the clotheslines are know as harmonics and they are obtained by integer multiple of  the fundamental frequency

So  

   The  frequencies are mathematically represented as

       f_n  =  n  * f

=>     f_n  =  n (0.875 )

Where  n  =  1, 2, 3 ....

A word that means to squeeze a gas in to a smaller place
Leona [35]
I think the best word here would be compress. It is to compress that is defined as to squeeze a gas into a smaller space. Compression is the reduction of volume which cause an increase in pressure of the gas. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

2. Compare and Contrast A fault cuts through
Elenna [48]

Explanation:

The principle of cross-cutting relationships states that a fault or intrusion is younger than the rocks that it cuts through. The fault labeled "E" cuts through all three sedimentary rock layers (A, B,and C) and also cuts through the intrusion (D). So the fault must be the youngest formation that is seen and known of.
