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.

The current and the potential difference in an inductor are in phase. B. The current lags the potential difference by π/2 in an
slava [35]

Answer:

The current lags the potential difference by π/2 in an inductor

Explanation:

The potential difference leads to the current by  \frac{\pi}{2}. Alternate signals such as current and voltage -in this case- are periodic, this means that this signals are repeated at fixed spaces of time. Thus, In an inductor the current lags the potential difference by \frac{\pi}{2}.

What is the original source of hydroelectric energy
tangare [24]

Differences in land elevation result in rainfall runoff, and allow some of the original solar energy to be captured as hydro-electric power (Figure 1). Hydro power is currently the world's largest renewable source of electricity, accounting for 6% of worldwide energy supply or about 15% of the world's electricity.

hope this helps

What is the name of the force that is a combination of all forces that act on an object?
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

If the combination of all the forces acting on an object sums upto be zero, then the net force is known as <u>balanced force.</u>

If the combination of all the forces acting on an object is non-zero, then the net force is said to be <u>unbalanced force. </u>The unbalanced force causes the object change the state of rest or motion.

If your speed changes from 10 km/h to 6 km/h, you have a(n) ______ acceleration.
Delicious77 [7]

If your speed changes from 10 km/h to 6 km/h then
you have an acceleration. 

Whether it's a positive or negative one completely depends
on which direction you decided to call the positive direction,
when you started considering your speed and its changes.

If you decided to call the direction in which you're traveling
the positive direction, then a decrease in your speed is a
negative acceleration. 

But you could just as easily have said that you're traveling
in the negative direction.  If you did that, then a decrease in
your speed would be a positive acceleration.

It's completely up to you, and how you define things.
