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.

What is the connection between angle of incidence and angle of reflection
Radda [10]

Answer:

The normal line divides the angle between the incident ray and the reflected ray into two equal angles. The angle between the incident ray and the normal is known as the angle of incidence. The angle between the reflected ray and the normal is known as the angle of reflection.

A ball rolls for 8 seconds and travels 24 meters. How fast was it traveling?
belka [17]

Answer:

The speed of the ball was, v = 3 m/s

Explanation:

Given data,

The time period of the ball, t = 8 s

The distance the ball rolled, d = 24 m

The velocity of an object is defined as the object's displacement to the time taken. The formula for the velocity is,

                              v = d / t      m/s

Substituting the given values in the above equation,

                               v = 24 / 8

                                  = 3 m/s

Hence, the speed of the ball was, v = 3 m/s

The top of the pool table is 0.810 m from the floor. the placement of the tape is such that 0 m is aligned with the edge of the
8090 [49]
Compute first for the vertical motion, the formula is:

y = gt²/2 

0.810 m = (9.81 m/s²)(t)²/2 

t = 0.4064 s 


whereas the horizontal motion is computed by: 

x = (vx)t 

4.65 m = (vx)(0.4064 s) 

4.65 m/ 0.4064s = (vx)

(vx) = 11.44 m / s
So look for the final vertical speed. 

(vy) = gt 

(vy) = (9.81 m/s²)(0.4064 s) 

(vy) = 3.99 m/s 


speed with which it hit the ground: 

v = sqrt[(vx)² + (vy)²] 

v = sqrt[(11.44 m/s)² + (3.99 m/s)²] 

v = 12.12 m / s
