The attraction between two objects is force.
As such, if you don't describe the degree of attraction
in units of force, you're doomed.

Whether to use micronewtons, millinewtons, newtons,
giganewtons, ounces, pounds, or tons, really depends on
the size of the force, which in turn depends on the masses
of the two objects and the distance between them.  You'll
want to select the unit that produces the most convenient
number.  And of course, you'll want to favor the SI units.

The correct answer to the question is : Newton ( N )

EXPLANATION:

Before going to answer this question, first we have to understand the gravitational force.

Gravitational force is the mutual force of attraction between two bodies with which every body in the universe is attracted with every other body.

The gravitational force between two bodies having masses M and M' separated by a distance R is calculated as-

              Gravitational force F = G\frac{MM'}{R^2}

Here, G is known as the universal gravitational force constant.

Hence, gravitational force is a force.

We know that unit of force is newton ( N ).

Hence, the degree of attraction between two objects is measured in newton units.

A 2.1 kg block is dropped from rest from a height of 5.5 m above the top of the spring. When the block is momentarily at rest, t
ella [17]

Answer:

The speed of the block is 8.2 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

mass of block, m = 2.1 kg

height above the top of the spring, h = 5.5 m

First, we determine the spring constant based on the principle of conservation of potential energy

¹/₂Kx² = mg(h +x)

¹/₂K(0.25)² = 2.1 x 9.8(5.5 +0.25)

0.03125K = 118.335

K = 118.335 / 0.03125

K = 3786.72 N/m

Total energy stored in the block at rest is only potential energy given as:

E = U = mgh

U = 2.1 x 9.8 x 5.5 = 113.19 J

Work done in compressing the spring to 15.0 cm:

W = ¹/₂Kx² = ¹/₂ (3786.72)(0.15)² = 42.6 J

This is equal to elastic potential energy stored in the spring,

Then, kinetic energy of the spring is given as:

K.E = E - W

K.E = 113.19 J - 42.6 J

K.E = 70.59 J

To determine the speed of the block due to this energy:

KE =  ¹/₂mv²

70.59 =  ¹/₂ x 2.1 x v²

70.59 = 1.05v²

v² = 70.59 / 1.05

v² = 67.229

v = √67.229

v = 8.2 m/s

What are the products of a fusion reaction? Check all that apply.
Free_Kalibri [48]

Energy, heavier atoms atoms, neutron and a proton are the products of a fusion reaction.

<h3>What are the products of a fusion reaction?</h3>

Nuclear fusion is a type of reaction in which two or more atomic nuclei fuse or combine to form heavy nuclei and subatomic particles such as neutrons or protons and release of energy.

So we can conclude that Energy, heavier atoms, neutron and a proton are the products of a fusion reaction.
