You're thinking of Kepler's first law of planetary motion, but that's not
what it says.

First of all, Kepler didn't say anything about gravity.  He only described
the orbits.  And he said that the orbit of each planet is an <u>ellipse</u>, with the
sun at one focus.

If by some chance you're thinking of Newton ... he showed that <u>if</u> his formula for
gravity is correct, then the orbit of a planet <u>must</u> be an ellipse.  But Newton's law
of gravity is not one of his so-called "three laws of motion".

Explain the relationship between force, mass and acceleration in Newton's second law
Nikitich [7]

Newton's  second law of motion describes what happens to a body when an external  force is applied to it.

Newton's second law of motion states that the force acting on an object is equal to the mass of that object times its acceleration. In mathematical form this is written as

F = ma

Where F is force , m is mass and a is acceleration. The math or logic  behind this is that if  you double the force, you double the acceleration, but if you double the mass, you cut the acceleration in half.

Would it be better to collide head-on with an identical car traveling at the same speed or collide with a stationary brick wall?

Three capacitors having capacitances of 8.40, 8.40, and 4.20 μFμF, respectively, are connected in series across a 36.0-V potenti
son4ous [18]

Answer:

a)Q=71.4 μ C

b)ΔV' = 10.2 V

Explanation:

Given that

C ₁= 8.7 μF

C₂ = 8.2 μF

C₃ = 4.1 μF

The potential difference of the battery, ΔV= 34 V

When connected in series

1/C = 1/C ₁ + 1/C₂ + 1/C₃

1/ C= 1/8.4 +1 / 8.4 + 1/4.2

C=2.1 μF

As we know that when capacitor are connected in series then they have same charge,Q

Q= C ΔV

Q= 2.1 x 34 μ C

Q=71.4 μ C

b)

As we know that when capacitor are connected in parallel then they have same voltage difference.

Q'= C' ΔV'

C'= C ₁+C₂+C₃        (For parallel connection)

C'= 8.4 + 8.4 + 4.2 μF

C'=21 μF

Q'= C' ΔV'

Q'=3 Q

3 x 71.4= 21 ΔV'

ΔV' = 10.2 V
