Answer:

same as

Explanation:

According to Newton's 3rd law, the force that the Earth exert on the Sun would be equal (and in opposite direction) with the force that the Sun exerts on the Earth.

Also Newton's gravitational law states the formula for the attraction between objects with mass, is the same for both objects

Answer:

equal

Explanation:

Newton's law of universal gravitation states that "any two objects A and B exert a gravitational force of attraction on each other and the magnitude of this force is proportional to the product of the masses of the objects and inversely proportional to the square of the distance separating these objects".

This means that two objects interacting together will exert the same force of gravity (or simply gravitational force) on each other. Though the masses of the two objects may be different, the magnitude of the force that one object exerts on the other is still the product of these masses and the inverse of the square of the distance between them.

Therefore, the gravitational force that the Sun, though of higher mass than the Earth, will exert on the Earth is the same as that which the Earth will exert on the Sun.

If an object falling freely were somehow equipped with an odometer to measure the distance it travels, then the amount of distan

ioda

Answer:c

Explanation:

Given

object is falling Freely with an odometer

Suppose it falls with zero initial velocity

so distance fallen in time t is given by

$h=ut+\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

here u=0 and t=time taken

$h=\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

for $t=1 s$

$h_1=\frac{1}{2}g$

for $t=2 s$

$h_2=\frac{1}{2}g(2)^2=\frac{4}{2}g=2g$

distance traveled in 2 nd sec $=2g-\frac{1}{2}g=\frac{3}{2}g$

for $t=3 s$

$h_3=\frac{1}{2}g(3)^2=\frac{9}{2}g$

distance traveled in 3 rd sec $=\frac{9}{2}g-2g=\frac{5}{2}g$

so we can see that distance traveled in each successive second is increasing

A person travels by car from one city to another with different constant speeds between pair of cities. She drives for 36 min at

Softa [21]

Change minutes to hrs, divide by 60:
30 min = .50 hrs
45 min = .75 hrs
12 min = .20 hrs
----------------
total + 1.45 hrs, total travel time
:

let a = average speed for the trip
:
Write a dist equation, dist = speed * time
:
80(.5) + 100(.20) + 40(.75) = 1.45a
40 + 20 + 30 = 1.45a
90 = 1.45a
a =
a = 62.069 km/h, for the entire trip
and
90 km is the total distance

Paul lifts a sack weighing 245 newtons vertically from the ground and places it on a platform at a height of 0.7 meters. If he t

d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

B. 17.15 watts

Explanation:

Given that

Time = 10 seconds

height = distance = 0.7 meters

weight of sack = mg = F = 245 newtons

Power = work done/ time taken

Where work done = force × distance

Substituting the given parameters into the formula

Work done = 245 newton × 0.7 meters

Work done = 171.5 J

Recall,

Power = work done/time

Power = 171.5 J ÷ 10

Power = 17.15 watts

Hence the power expended is B. 17.15 watts

Can someone help? Please?

zubka84 [21]

Answer:

A. Speed

Explanation:

Speed is the magnitude of velocity, which is given in the question. Velocity is a vector quantity and therefore has both a magnitude and a direction. Only the former is implied in the question.
