The force of attraction between 2 objects is called gravity. Why do you think that an object, like your notebook, pulled towards

you? Explain your reasoning.

This question is asking: Why does gravity occur? why will your notebook get pulled towards you?

Answer: Objects are attracted to each other due to the force of attraction (gravity). this force of attraction depends on the mass of the object. that is why your notebook is pulled towards you.

hope this helped

What do comets and asteroids have in common? Check all that apply.
Sidana [21]

Answer:

- They are orbiting the Sun

- They are small compared to the planets

Explanation:

- Comets are small bodies made of rock and ice that have a highly elliptical orbit, and that warm when they pass close to the Sun, releasing gas due to the sublimation of the ice, producing a characteristic "tail" that can extend even for hundreds of kilometers. They are generally located outside the Solar System, in the Oort cloud.

- Asteroids are irregular bodies whose size range from a few km to even a few hundreds of km, that orbit the Sun in an area of the Solar System located between Mars and Jupiter, called "Asteroid belt". They are made mainly of rock and metal debris

So now we  can analyze the statements given:

- They are made of ice: FALSE, because this is only valid for comets

- They are orbiting the Sun: TRUE for both  comets and asteroids

- They are made of metal debris: FALSE, this is only valid for asteroids

- They are small compared to the planets: TRUE for both (the biggest asteroid, Ceres, has a radius of approx 500 km, much smaller than the smallest planet, Mercury)

- They are at the center of the solar system: FALSE for both

Course hero N4M.6 A board has one end wedged under a rock having a mass of 380 kg and is supported by another rock that touches
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

Therefore it is save to carry a 62kg adult

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Mass m=380kg

Height of supporting Rock X=85cm

Length of BoardL_r=4.5m

Mass of board M_b=22kg

Mass of adult M_a=62  

Generally the moment of balance about wedge part about  is mathematically given by

N -Q + R = Mg + mg

0.85*N - Mg*2.25 - mg*(2.25 + x) = 0

0.85*N  = + Mg*2.25 + mg*(2.25 + x)

where

N+R=4547

therefore

N = 570.70588 + 1608.3529 + 714.823 x

if N=0 at fallen person

x=3.04m

Therefore it is save to carry a 62kg adult

P-weight blocks D and E are connected by the rope which passes through pulley B and are supported by the isorectangular prism ar
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

21.8°

Explanation:

Let's call θ the angle between BC and the horizontal.

Draw a free body diagram for each block.

There are 4 forces acting on block D:

Weight force P pulling down,

Normal force N₁ pushing perpendicular to AB,

Friction force N₁μ pushing parallel up AB,

and tension force T pushing parallel up AB.

There are 4 forces acting on block E:

Weight force P pulling down,

Normal force N₂ pushing perpendicular to BC,

Friction force N₂μ pushing parallel to BC,

and tension force T pulling parallel to BC.

Sum of forces on D in the perpendicular direction:

∑F = ma

N₁ − P sin θ = 0

N₁ = P sin θ

Sum of forces on D in the parallel direction:

∑F = ma

T + N₁μ − P cos θ = 0

T = P cos θ − N₁μ

T = P cos θ − P sin θ μ

T = P (cos θ − sin θ μ)

Sum of forces on E in the perpendicular direction:

∑F = ma

N₂ − P cos θ = 0

N₂ = P cos θ

Sum of forces on E in the parallel direction:

∑F = ma

N₂μ + P sin θ − T = 0

T = N₂μ + P sin θ

T = P cos θ μ + P sin θ

T = P (cos θ μ + sin θ)

Set equal:

P (cos θ − sin θ μ) = P (cos θ μ + sin θ)

cos θ − sin θ μ = cos θ μ + sin θ

1 − tan θ μ = μ + tan θ

1 − μ = tan θ μ + tan θ

1 − μ = tan θ (μ + 1)

tan θ = (1 − μ) / (1 + μ)

Plug in values:

tan θ = (1 − 0.4) / (1 + 0.4)

θ = 23.2°

∠BCA = 45°, so the angle of AC relative to the horizontal is 45° − 23.2° = 21.8°.

Options: A.) 10 N B.) 15 N C.) 25 N D.) 35N
Lady_Fox [76]

Given:

F_gravity = 10 N

F_tension = 25 N

Let's find the net centripetal force exterted on the ball.

Apply the formula:

\sum ^{}_{}F_{\text{net}}=F_1+F_2=F_{centripetal}

From the given figure, the force acting towards the circular path will be positive, while the force which points directly away from the center is negative.

Hence, the tensional force is positive while the gravitational force is negative.

Thus, we have:

F_{\text{net}}=F_{\text{centripetal}}=F_{tension}-F_{gravity}=25N-10N=15N

Therefore, the net centripetal force exterted on the ball is 15 N.

ANSWER:

15 N
