Gravity anything with mass as gravity we know the earth has gravity because you and I are standing on earth and not floating off

into space when we jump we come right back to earth which model best represents the force of gravity pulling us all down to earth?

Answer:

F=mg

Explanation:

Close to Earth's surface, the force of gravity that pulls an object towards the ground is

F=mg (2)

where

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration due to gravity, which is 9.81 m/s^2 close to Earth's surface

This is an approximation of the general formula of gravity valid only close to Earth's surface. The more general formula is

F=G\frac{Mm}{r^2} (1)

where

G is the gravitational constant

M is the Earth's mass

m is the object's mass

r is the distance of the object from Earth's center

At the Earth's surface,

r = R (Earth's radius), and by calling the following factor

g=\frac{GM}{R^2}

we see that eq.(1) becomes eq.(2).

Some drops a ball off of the top of a 125-m-tall building. In this prob-lem, you will be solving for the time it takes the ball
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

t = 5.05 s

Explanation:

This is a kinetic problem.

a) to solve it we must fix a reference system, let's use a fixed system on the floor where the height is 0 m

b) in this system the equations of motion are

              y = v₀ t + ½ g t²

where v₀ is the initial velocity that is v₀ = 0 and g is the acceleration of gravity that always points towards the center of the Earth

e)    y = 0 + ½ g t²

     t = √ (2y / g)

     t = √(2 125 / 9.8)

     t = 5.05 s

A ray of light incident in air strikes a rectangular glass block of refractive index 1.5 at angle of incidence of 45.
Gwar [14]

Refraction is said to occur when there is a change in the speed of light.

<h3>What is the angle of refraction?</h3>

We know that refraction is said to occur when there is a change in the speed of light as it travels form one medium to another.

Given that the refractive index of the rectangular glass block is  1.5. The angle of refraction can be obtained by the use of the Snell's law;

n = sin i /sinr

n = refractive index

sini = angle of incidence

sin r = angle of refraction

sinr = sini/n

sinr = sin 45/1.5

= 0.471

r = 28 degrees

b) Now;

sinr =sin  45/1.2

sinr = 0.589

r = 36 degrees

For the glass

sinr = sin 36/1.5

sin r = 0.392

r = 23 degrees

While on a sailboat at anchor, you notice that 15 waves pass its bow every minute. The waves have a speed of 6.0 m/s . Part A Wh
Alchen [17]

Answer:

Distance between two adjacent wave crests = 24m

Explanation:

Distance= speed × time

Distance traveled by waves in 60 seconds (15 crests)= 15 × distance

15 × distance = 6,0 (meters/second) × 60 seconds

distance = (360 meters) / 15 = 24 meters (between two adyacent waves)
