Does gravity hold things together?

Yes, Gravity is the force that holds everything one this Earth from flying away such as building and humans. The gravity is different for each planet as well. Earth has a gravity of one, and planets smaller than Earth have a Gravity lower than one meaning you can jump higher, because the force isn't strong enough to bring quickly. Planets bigger than Earth have a Gravity greater than 1 that allows for smaller jumps because they can bring you down quicker. There is gravity between the Earth and the Moon, and the Sun and all 8 Planets. In conclusion Gravity does hold things together.

If this helped please Mark as Brainliest! Thanks! ;)

  <span>Gravity is an attractive force. All masses exert gravity, so matter pull toward each other. However, it is only significant when the masses are large, like that of Earth.  Exactly what causes gravity still remains a mystery. Since all the other three fundamental forces (strong, weak, and electromagnetic) are caused by particles called bosons, some scientists think that gravity is caused by particles called the graviton. However, such a particle has not yet been observed, and its existence has not been proven yet. 
Also, gravity does not hold EVERYTHING together, as another person has already mentioned. Static electricity holds your socks together after they come out of the dryer, not gravity. Also, gravity is too weak to hold together, say, the nucleus of atoms, or even atoms of molecules together.</span>

A student carried out an experiment adding different weights to a spring and recording the results. Look at the table of results
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

0.25 m.

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the spring constant of the spring.

From the diagram, we shall used any of the weight with the corresponding extention to determine the spring constant. This is illustrated below:

Force (F) = 0.1 N

Extention (e) = 0.125 m

Spring constant (K) =?

F = Ke

0.1 = K x 0.125

Divide both side by 0.125

K = 0.1/0.125

K = 0.8 N/m

Therefore, the force constant, K of spring is 0.8 N/m

Now, we can obtain the number in gap 1 in the diagram above as follow:

Force (F) = 0.2 N

Spring constant (K) = 0.8 N/m

Extention (e) =..?

F = Ke

0.2 = 0.8 x e

Divide both side by 0.8

e = 0.2/0.8

e = 0.25 m

Therefore, the number that will complete gap 1is 0.25 m.

Show the weight of the ladder and draw the missing Frictional force.
madreJ [45]
Since there is no friction between the ladder and the wall, there can be no vertical force component. That's the tricky part ;)

So to find the weight, divide the 100N <em>normal</em> force by earths gravitational acceleration, 9.8m/s^2

W =  \frac{N}{g}  =  \frac{100N}{9.8m/s^{2}} =  \frac{100}{9.8} = 10.2kg


Then;
Draw an arrow at the base of the ladder pointing towards the wall with a value of 30N, to show the frictional force.

Which of the following is NOT a property of long-period comets that suggests that they originate from the Oort cloud?
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

b. They orbit around the Sun in a counterclockwise direction, when viewed from above the ecliptic plane.

Explanation:

All the objects of the solar system revolve around the Sun in a counterclockwise direction. The comet coming from the Oort's cloud will also follow the same kind of orbit. That is why it can't be a property to distinguish an Oort's cloud comet.

All other properties are correct to identify an Oort's cloud comet as the Oort's cloud is a considered a spherical cloud just outside the Solar system.
