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.

  <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>

When an aluminum bar is connected between a hot reservoir at 720 K and a cold reservoir at 358 K, 3.00 kJ of energy is transferr
disa [49]

Answer:

a.  -4.166 J/K

b. 8.37 J/K

c. 4.21 J/K

d. entropy always increases.

Explanation:

Given :

Temperature at hot reservoir , $T_h$ = 720 K

Temperature at cold reservoir , $T_c$ = 358 K

Transfer of heat, dQ = 3.00 kJ = 3000 J

(a). In the hot reservoir, the change of entropy is given by:

$dS_h= -\frac{dQ}{t_h}$              (the negative sign shows the loss of heat)

$dS_h= -\frac{3000}{720}$

      =  -4.166 J/K

(b)  In the cold reservoir, the change of entropy is given by:

$dS_c= \frac{dQ}{t_c}$              

$dS_c= \frac{3000}{358}$

      =  8.37 J/K

(c). The entropy change in the universe is given by:

$dS=dS_h+dS_c$

    = -4.16+8.37

   = 4.21 J/K

(d). According to the concept of entropy, the entropy of the universe is always increasing and never decreasing for an irreversible process. If the entropy of universe decreases, it violates the laws of thermodynamics. Hence, in part (c), the result have to be positive.

Given the resistivities below, which material is best described as an insulator?
koban [17]

Answer: D) 3.2 × 10^8

Explanation: Insulators are best described as materials which are poor conductors of electricity and hence do not allow passage of electricity through them. Resistivity are hence used to describe property or characteristic of a material which does not allow the flow or passage of electric current.

In summary, materials which high resistivity values are referred to as Insulators. Conversely, those with low resistivity or high conductivity values are called conductors while those with intermediate values are named semiconductors.

In the question given above, the material with a resistivity value of 3.2 × 10^8 - - - has a very high resistivity value (320000000Ω), the other options given have very low resistivity values ; 0.0000000017, etc and are most likely to be conductors due to their excessively low resistivity values.
