A train travels due south at 25 m/s (relative to the ground) in a rain that is blown toward the south by the wind. The path of e
ach raindrop makes an angle of 66° with the vertical, as measured by an observer stationary on the ground. An observer on the train, however, sees the drops fall perfectly vertically. Determine the speed of the raindrops relative to the ground.
1 answer:
Answer:
Explanation:
Given
Train travels towards south with a velocity if
Rain makes an angle of with vertical
If an observer sees the drop fall perfectly vertical i.e. horizontal component of rain velocity is equal to train velocity
suppose is the velocity of rain with respect to ground then
Therefore velocity of rain drops is 27.36 m/s

1. C. Gravitational attraction exists between the two objects.
Explanation:
Gravitational attraction is always exerted between two objects which have mass, and its magnitude is given by:
where G is the gravitational constant, m1 and m2 the masses of the two objects, and r the separation between them. Since the two objects have for sure non-zero masses m1 and m2, even if they are 20 miles apart, the value of the gravitational attraction F is non-zero, so the correct answer is C.
2. D. Two atoms come together to form a molecule.
Explanation:
this outcome is actually caused by the electrostatic forces between the two atoms, not by gravitational force. In fact, gravitational force becomes relevant only when the masses of the two objects involved are large enough: this is the case for planets, stars, galaxies, and objects in the universe. However, two atoms have very small masses, so the gravitational force between them is really negligible. On this smaller scales, the electrostatic force is much stronger than the gravitational force, so the electrostatic force is the real responsible for the formation of bonds between atoms.
