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! ;)

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.

In a 400-m relay race the anchorman (the person who runs the last 100 m) for team A can run 100 m in 9.8 s. His rival, the ancho

melisa1 [442]

Answer:

largest lead = 3 m

Explanation:

Basically, this problem is about what is the largest possible distance anchorman for team B can have over the anchorman for team A when the final leg started that anchorman for team A won the race. This show that anchorman for team A must have higher velocity than anchorman for team B to won the race as at the starting of final leg team B runner leads the team A runner.

So, first we need to calculate the velocities of both the anchorman

given data:

Distance = d = 100 m

Time arrival for A = 9.8 s

Time arrival for B = 10.1 s

Velocity of anchorman A = D / Time arrival for A

=100/ 9.8 = 10.2 m/s

Velocity of anchorman B = D / Time arrival for B

=100/10.1 = 9.9 m/s

As speed of anchorman A is greater than anchorman B. So, anchorman A complete the race first than anchorman B. So, anchorman B covered lower distance than anchorman A. So to calculate the covered distance during time 9.8 s for B runner, we use

d = vt

= 9.9 x 9.8 = 97 m

So, during the same time interval, anchorman A covered 100 m distance which is greater than anchorman B distance which is 97 m.

largest lead = 100 - 97 = 3 m

So if his lead no more than 3 m anchorman A win the race.

If the magnitude of the magnetic field is 6.50 mT at a distance of 12.8 cm from a long straight current carrying wire, what is t

Lunna [17]

Answer: magnitude of the magnetic field at a distance of 19.4 cm from the wire=4.29mT

Explanation:

According to Biot-Savart law, A magnetic field generated by a current carrying wire at a distance is represented as

B=μ₀I/ 2πr

B = magnetic field intensity 1000 mT =1T, 6.50mT = 6.50 X 10^-3T

μ₀ =permeability of free space 4π × 10−7 H/m

I = current intensity

r = radius, 100cm = 1m, 12.8 cm= 12.8 x 10^-2m

6.50 X 10^-3 = μ₀ x I/ 2 π X 12.8 X 10^-2

I =6.50 X 10 ^-3 X 2π X X 12.8 X 10^-2/ 4π × 10−7 H/m

I= 4160 A

when the magnetic field is at 19.4 cm from the wire

B=μ₀I/ 2πr

= 4π × 10−7 H/m x4160/ 2π x 19.4 x 10^-2

=0.004288

= 4.29x 10 ^-3T

= 4.29mT

You and a highway patrolman are driving at constant speeds in opposite directions on a straight highway. The patrolman is drivin

kompoz [17]

Answer: 75 mph

Explanation:

The Relative Speed for a mobile is equal to the diference between the object and the observer:

Relative Speed (Rs) = Object's Velocity - Observer's Velocity

Thinking on those terms, we would need to have a universal observer to do any understandable measurement on daily basics. This is why we all use earth as a Static Observer for every measurement we do everyday.

Using Earth as an observer, the Velocity for the Patrolman is:

Patrolman Velocity (Vp) = 60 mph

Because the radar gun does measure the Relative Speed for the object, which is 135 mph, we need to work with the equation to find the Velocity using Earth as a reference.

Object's Relative Velocity = Object's Velocity - Patrolman's Velocity

Object's Velocity = Object's Relative Velocity + Patrolman's Velocity

We need to keep in mind, the Patrolman is going on the opposite direction. Because of this the sign for his velocity should be negative.

Object's Velocity = 135 mph + ( -60 mph)

Object's Velocity = 135 mph - 60 mph

Object's Velocity = 75 mph
