Which statement about gravity is true?

Physics
1 answer:
SVETLANKA909090 [29]2 years ago
5 0

Out of the given options, ‘it is described as a fundamental force and therefore does not depend on other forces’ is the true statement about gravity.

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation: </u>

As we all know that there are four fundamental forces existing in the universe- Electromagnetic force, strong forces, weak forces and the gravitational force.

These are the forces that don’t depend on any other physical force to draw a considerable impact on the physical objects. The gravitational force can be defined as,

                     F=G \times \frac{m_{1} m_{2}}{r^{2}}

Where,

G = Gravitational Constant

m_{1} , m_{2} = Masses of two substances under consideration

R = distance between the two substances.

Looking upon the formula of gravitational force we can easily estimate that the gravitational force relies on the mass of substances and the relative distance between them. There is no factor than the air friction that hinders the gravitational force and that too in a negligible amount.

kozerog [31]

Answer:

F=133N

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Length l=3.0m

Mass m=24kg

Distance from Tip d=35cm

Generally, the equation for Torque Balance is mathematically given by

mg(l/2)=F(l-d)

2*9.81(3/2)=F(3-35*10^-2)

Therefore

F=133N

In an eslastic ,the momentum is_______and the mechanical energy is​
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

In an elastic collision, the momentum is conserved and the mechanical energy is conserved too.

Explanation:

There are two types of collisions:

- Elastic collision: in an elastic collision, the total momentum before and after the collision is conserved; also, the total mechanical energy before and after the collision is conserved.

- Inelastic collision: in an inelastic collision, the total momentum before and after the colllision is conserved, while the total mechanical energy is not conserved (in fact, part of the energy is converted into other forms of energy such that thermal energy, due to the presence of frictional forces)

) Water falls from a height of 60m at the rate of 15kg/s to operate a turbine. The losses due to frictional force are 10% of ene
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

8100W

Explanation:

Let g = 10m/s2

As water is falling from 60m high, its potential energy from 60m high would convert to power. So the rate of change in potential energy is

P = \dot{E} = \dot{m}gh = 15*10*60 = 9000 J/s or 9000W

Since 10% of this is lost to friction, we take the remaining 90 %

P = 9000*90% = 8100 W

A series of optical telescopes produced an image that has a resolution of about 0.00350 arc second.
Mila [183]

Answer:

The smallest diameter is D =122 \ m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

       The resolution of the telescope is \theta  =  0.00350 \ arc \ second

           The wavelength is  \lambda = 1.70 \mu m = 1.70 *10^{-6} \ m

From the question we are told that

        1 arc \ sec = \frac{1}{3600^o}

So      0.00350 \ arc \ second = x

Therefore

             x =  0.00350  *  \frac{1}{3600 }

              x = ( 9.722*10^{-7} )^o

Now  1^o  =  \frac{\pi}{180}

   So  (9.722*10^{-7})^o =  \theta

  =>    \theta  =  (9.722*10^{-7}) * \frac{\pi}{180}

           \theta  =  1.69*10^{-8} rad

The smallest diameter is mathematically represented  as

          D = \frac{1.22 \lambda }{\theta  }

substituting values

           D = \frac{1.22 * 1.7 *10^{-6}} {1.69 *10^{-8}  }

           D =122 \ m
