The acceleration developed between two bodies containing mass as a result of the gravitational force between them.

If you stay on the same planet and drop a lot of objects one at a time,
it turns out that every object you drop falls from your hand to the ground
with the same acceleration, and hits the ground with the same speed,
no matter whether the object is light, heavy, or anything in between.

That particular value of acceleration is the "acceleration due to gravity".
On Earth, it's 9.81 meters per second².  On the moon, it's 1.62 meters
per second².  On Jupiter, it's 25.89 meters per second².

Why we don't generally notice it:  The previous description is true if the
ONLY force on the object is the force of gravity.  If it has to fall through
<u>air</u> on the way down, then the air can have a great effect on it.  Many
museums have an exhibit where they drop things in a long tube with
all the air removed from it, and there you can see some pretty weird
stuff ... like a bowling ball, a rock, a sheet of paper, and a feather, all
falling together, with nothing fluttering.

<u>Why</u> everything falls with the same acceleration ?  That's a separate question.

A disk has a radius of 30 cm and a mass of 0.3 kg and is turning at 3.0 rev/s. A trickle of sand falls onto the disk at a distan
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

The mass of the sand that will fall on the disk to decrease the is 0.3375 kg

Explanation:

Moment before = Moment after

I \omega_i = I \omega_f +mr^2 \omega_f\\\\mr^2 \omega_f = I \omega_i  - I \omega_f \\\\m = \frac{ I \omega_i  - I \omega_f}{r^2 \omega_f }

where;

I is moment of inertia = Mr² = 0.3 x (0.3)² = 0.027 kg.m²

substitute this in the above equation;

m = \frac{ 0.027[3(2 \pi)  - 2(2 \pi)]} {0.2^2 * 6\pi } = \frac{ 0.027[6 \pi  - 4\pi]} {0.2^2 * 4\pi }\\\\m = 0.3375kg

Therefore, the mass of the sand that will fall on the disk to decrease the is 0.3375 kg

When is thermal equilibrium achieved between two objects?
ki77a [65]
Thermal equilibrium is when a hot and cold object (could also be air) come in contact with each other and over time become the same temperature.
thermal equilibrium is reached when both objects are the same temperature.

Which of the following phenomena support the idea that light is a wave?
Pie

Answer:

Wave theory of light explains the phenomena of interference, diffraction, scattering, dispersion, polarisation etc. Complete solution: Around 1700, it was concluded by Newton that light was a group of particles. It was called corpuscular theory.

A flywheel in a motor is spinning at 510 rpm when a power failure suddenly occurs. The flywheel has mass 40.0 kg and diameter 75
8_murik_8 [283]

Complete Question

A flywheel in a motor is spinning at 510 rpm when a power failure suddenly occurs. The flywheel has mass 40.0 kg and diameter 75.0 cm . The power is off for 40.0 s , and during this time the flywheel slows down uniformly due to friction in its axle bearings. During the time the power is off, the flywheel makes 210 complete revolutions. At what rate is the flywheel spinning when the power comes back on(in rpm)? How long after the beginning of the power failure would it have taken the flywheel to stop if the power had not come back on, and how many revolutions would the wheel have made during this time?

Answer:

\theta=274rev

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Angular velocity \omega=510rpm

Mass m=40.kg

Diameter d 75=>0.75m

Off Time t=40.0s

Oscillation at Power off N=210

Generally the equation for Angular displacement is mathematically given by

 \theta_{\infty}=\frac{w+w_0}{t}t

 w=\frac{2*\theta_{\infty}}{t}-w_0

 w=\frac{28210}{40*(\frac{1}{60})}-510

 w=120rpm

Generally the equation for Time to come to rest is mathematically given by

 t=(\frac{\omega_0}{\omega_0-\omega})t

 t=(\frac{510}{510-120rpm})(40.0)(\frac{1}{60})

 t=0.87min

Therefore Angular displacement is

 \theta =(\frac{120+510}{2})0.87

 \theta=274rev

Answer:

The offspring is homozygous for eye color.

Explanation:

Brown eyes is the shared allele of both parents (meaning homozygous) and an allele for hair type was not inherited from only one parents but from both however will recieve the dominant trait. (This is my best guess; I haven't studied this in awhile though)
