<h2>Answer: dark matter</h2>

It is believed that the Milky Way has 90% dark matter and only 10% ordinary matter (known matter). Because, like gravity, <u>dark matter can not be observed directly</u>, however its existence is inferred through the movement of the stars and the cosmic dust within the galaxy.

It is important to note that dark matter composition is unknown and corresponds to 80% of the matter in the universe. It does not emit or interact with any type of electromagnetic radiation, but it interacts with the known matter through gravity.

dimulka [17.4K]
Let the first car's average speed be x

The second car's speed would be x+5

2(x+(x+5))=210

2x+5=105

2x=100

x=50

So the speed of the slower car is 50mph, and the speed of the faster car is 55mph

You are holding the axle of a bicycle wheel with radius
erastova [34]

Answer:

The angular acceleration of the wheel is -6.54 rad/s²

Explanation:

We'll use the equations of motion for this.

w = 2πf

f = 75 rpm = 1.25 rps = 1.25 rev/s

w₀ = initial angular velocity = 2π × 1.25 = 7.85 rad/s

w = final angular velocity = 0 rad/s

t = 1.2 s

α = ?

w = w₀ + αt

0 = 7.85 + 1.2α

α = 7.85/1.2 = - 6.54 rad/s²

A car travelling at 15 m/s comes to rest in a distance of 14 m when the brakes are applied.
stira [4]

Answer:

-8.04 m/s2

Explanation:

To find the answer to this, you have to use the 4th kinematic equation:

v^{2} = v^{2}_{0}  + 2ax

You plug into the equation to get:

0 = 15^{2} + 2a(14)

solve for a to get

-8.04 m/s2

What is the difference between gravitational force and the force of gravity
statuscvo [17]

This might help and it might not:

Gravitation is the acting force between two bodies. On the other hand, gravity is the force occurring between an object and the very big object earth. Every object with some mass exerts the gravitational force on every other object having some mass. This force and its strength depend on the masses of the objects under consideration. Gravity helps to keep the planets to move in their orbit around the sun.

Gravitation is the force of attraction between any two bodies in the universe. In our universe, each object attracts each other with a certain amount of force. The large distance of separation is the main reason for its weak nature.

Gravity is the weakest type of fundamental force in nature. Still, it holds together the entire solar systems and galaxies.

Gravity has the existence with unlimited range.
