It's true that gravity holds planets in orbit. However, this is due to the gravitational influence of the sun, not the gravitational influence of other planets.

Answer: Hello mate!

The orbit of the planets is around the sun, which means that the principal contribution in the forces is due to the sun's gravity.

But, it is true that planets experience a gravitational force due other planets, and this also contributes to the actual orbits (suppose that you "remove" a planet, then the orbit of the other planets may change)

So this is false; the actual statement would be true if it was:

"Gravity holds planets in orbit because planets are attracted to each other’s and the sun gravitational force."

And there are other contributors, like satellites and such, but those are really minor compared with the previous contributions.

Let's say you have two tuning forks which are supposed to produce the same frequency, 512 Hz. One is of good quality, but the ot
solong [7]

Answer:

= 2 beats per seconds

Explanation:

  • From |f -f'| = modulus of the difference between the frequency given.
  • f = 510Hz and f' = 512Hz
  • Difference between the frequency will give us the number of beat per seconds.
  • i.e 2 beats per seconds

These also shows how to get the period of the tuning forks.

Technician A says that galvanic activity is the result of a poor ground connection. Technician B says that electrolysis can occu
Drupady [299]

Answer:

Only B is correct.

Explanation:

Electrolysis and galvanic activity are two different ways of the passage of electricity. Electrolysis occurs at a spontaneous reaction, and galvanic activity needs an external force to happen.

For example, a cell works by a redox reaction, in which a material reduces (gain electrons), and the other oxides (loses electrons). As higher is the standard reduction potential of a material, as easy is to it to reduces. Thus, if a cell works with the reduction happens with the material with low standard reduction potential, then it works by galvanic activity.

When electronics are connected to the house system, it's necessary to do the ground connection, which will allow the electrons that are dissipated to go to the earth. So, it is done incorrectly, the electrons flow to the equipment, which they natural path. So, the electrolysis can occur with a poor ground connection.

What affect does doubling the net force have on the acceleration of the object (when
Triss [41]
<h3>Answer: The acceleration doubles</h3>

===========================================================

Explanation:

Consider a mass of 10 kg, so m = 10

Let's say we apply a net force of 20 newtons, so F = 20

The acceleration 'a' is...

F = ma

20 = 10a

20/10 = a

2 = a

a = 2

The acceleration is 2 m/s^2. Every second, the velocity increases by 10 m/s.

---------------

Now let's double the net force on the object

F = 20 goes to F = 40

m = 10 stays the same

F = ma

40 = 10a

10a = 40

a = 40/10

a = 4

The acceleration has also doubled since earlier it was a = 2, but now it's a = 4.

---------------

In summary, if you double the net force applied to the object, then the acceleration doubles as well.
