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.

Describe the motion represented by a horizontal line on a distance-time graph.
denpristay [2]

Answer:

hi, this is the answer

Explanation:

A horizontal line on a distance-time graph shows no change in distance, therefore there is no motion.

The object is stationary. ...

Constant speed is motion that occurs with the same ratio of distance to time throughout the entire length of the motion.

pls mark this as the brainliest...

How much heat will be needed to warm 187 grams of water from 10 0C to 90 0C?
kvv77 [185]
<h3>Hello there!</h3>

Here, you are looking for the amount of heat put in for water, at a mass of 187 grams, to change by 80 degrees.

The equation commonly accepted to find the answer to questions like these is the specific heat formula.

The equation is Q = mc∆T, where Q is the amount of energy put in to raise the temperature by a certain amount, m is the mass, c is the specific heat capacity, and ΔT is the amount of temperature change.

The information given:

m = 187 grams

c = specific heat capacity of water, or in this case 1 calorie, or 4.184 joules (which is what we will be using)

ΔT = 80 degrees

Now just plug everything in to solve.

Q = 187 * 4.184 * 80

Q = 62592.64

So you have your answer: 62592.64 joules.

Hope this helped!

Each second, 1250 m3 of water passes over a waterfall 150 m high. Three-fourths of the kinetic energy gained by the water in fal
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

The generator produces electrical energy at a rate of 1378125000 J per second.

Explanation:

volume of water falling each second is 1250 m^{3}

height through which it falls, h is 150 m

mass of 1 m^{3} of water is 1000 kg

⇒mass of 1250 m^{3} of water, m = 1250×1000 = 1250000 kg

acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 \frac{m}{sec^{2} }

in falling through 150 m in each second, by Work-Energy Theorem:

Kinetic Energy(KE) gained by it = Potential Energy(PE) lost by it

⇒KE = mgh

        = 1250000×9.8×150 J

        = 1837500000 J

Electrical Energy = \frac{3}{4}(KE)

                            = \frac{3}{4}×1837500000

                            = <u>1378125000 J per second</u>
