Use the law of universal gravitation to describe the relationship between you and your desk

1 answer:

6 0

The law of gravitation states that things closer to the core of gravitation, have a larger force pulling down on them. In relation of you to your desk, you and the desk are both drawn downwards towards the center of gravity.

Over millions of years weathered rock soil dead plant and animal remains are pressed and cemented together under the ground form

Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

true

Explanation:

The statement being made is completely true. This layer of rock is called a Sedimentary Rock level and is slowly formed over millions of years with minerals and organic remains from the bottom of the Oceans that may no longer be covered in water anymore. Since it is made up of all these minerals and remains, it is studied widely by Geologists and Archeologists to better understand the Earth's past.

If you walk 1.2 km north and then 1.6 km east, what are the magnitude and direction of your resultant displacement?

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Assume north and east as two sides of a right angled triangle. magnitude of the distance is then given by the length of the hypotenuse which is $\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}$

where a = 1.2 km north

and b = 1.6 km east

magnitude = 2 km

Direction is given by the angle between them, that is atan(a/b) = 36.86 deg north of east = 53.1 deg east of north.

A 50kg meteorite moving at 1000 m/s strikes Earth. Assume the velocity is along the line joining Earth's center of mass and the

zysi [14]

As per the question, the mass of meteorite [ m]= 50 kg

The velocity of the meteorite [v] = 1000 m/s

When the meteorite falls on the ground, it will give whole of its kinetic energy to earth.

We are asked to calculate the gain in kinetic energy of earth.

The kinetic energy of meteorite is calculated as -

$Kinetic\ energy\ [K.E]\ =\frac{1}{2} mv^2$

$=\frac{1}{2}50kg*[1000\ m/s]^2$

$=\frac{1}{2}50* 10^{6}\ J$

$=25*10^6\ J$

Here, J stands for Joule which is the S.I unit of energy.

$Hence,\ the\ kinetic\ energy\ gained\ by\ earth\ is\ 25*10^6\ J$

A straight railroad track is being built to connect two cities. the measured distance of the track between the two cities is 160

elena55 [62]

Let point A be 0.0 miles (first city)
Let point B be 160.5 miles (first city to second city)
Let point C be 28.5 miles (first city to mail stop)

Take C – A = C [28.5 - 0.0 = 28.5] (This checks the distance between city 1 and Mail stop)

Then Take B – C = Distance from the first city to the second city [160.5 - 28.5 = 132 Miles]

Answer: The Mail stop is 132 miles from the Second City.
