Are gases affected by gravity?

Yes, all objects are affected by gravity. Newton's law of universal gravity states that <span>any two bodies in the universe attract each other with a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. Therefore we know that gases, and every other atom in the universe, is subject to gravity.
We also know this, as if they weren't affected by gravity, the Earth wouldn't have an atmosphere!

Of course.  Anything with mass is affected by gravity, and gases
certainly have mass.

The mass of all the air above you, given weight by the gravitational
forces that attract it and the Earth toward each other, is the source of
air pressure down here.

In fact !  If gravity had no effect on gases, then Earth would have no
atmosphere, Jupiter/Saturn/Uranus/Neptune would be either tiny solid
balls or else nothing at all, and the sun would never have condensed
from the huge cloud of hydrogen.

A wrench is placed at 30 cm in front of a diverging lens with a focal length of magnitude 10 cm. What is the magnification of th
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

0.25

Explanation:

Magnification = image distance/object distance

mag = v/u.................. Equation 1

Given: f = -10 cm ( diverging lens) u = 30 cm.

Where can calculate for the value of v using

1/f = 1/u+1/v

make v the subject of the equation

v = fv/(u-f)..................... Equation 2

Substitute into equation 2

v = -30(10)/(30+10)

v = -300/40

v = -7.5 cm.

substituting into equation 1,

mag = 7.5/30

mag = 0.25

hence the magnification of the wretch = 0.25

A force of 16.88 N is applied tangentially to a wheel of radius 0.340 m and gives rise to an angular acceleration of 1.20rad / (
Basile [38]

Given.

force = 16.88 N is

radius = 0.340m

an angular acceleration = 1.20rad/s^2

the formula for torque is

F*r = I*a

where I is moment of inertia

16.88*.34 = I*1.2

I = 4.78Kg-m^2

so rotational inertia I = 4.78Kg-m^2

a projectile leaves the ground with a velocity of 35 meters per second at an angle 32° what is the maximum height
Nina [5.8K]
To determine the maximum height for the projectile, we can use the timeless kinematics equation V _{f} ^{2} -V_{i}^{2}=2a \Delta y and plug in what we know. For V _{f} ^{2}, we know it is zero because at the highest location of flight, there is no vertical velocity. For V _{i} ^{2}, we know it is (35sin(32))^{2} since the vertical component is the sine of the velocity. We need to solve for y, so it is left as-is. Since the only acceleration is g, we can substitute -9.81 into it. Solving for the equation yields a solution of 17.55 m for \Delta y.
