Answer:

Please see below as the answers are self-explanatory.

Explanation:

  • Similarities

1) The resultant force is along the line that joins both charges or both masses (assuming both objects can be represented as points)

2) Both type of forces obey  Newton's 3rd law.

3) Both are proportional to the product of the property that is affected by the force (charges and masses)

4) Both obey an inverse - square law (consequence of our universe being three-dimensional)

  • Differences

1) Main difference, is that while the gravitational force is always attractive, the electrostatic force can be attractive or repulsive, as there are two types of charges, which attract each other being of different type, and repel each other if they are of the same type.

2) It  is possible, artificially, to block the influence of the electrostatic force, shielding a room, for instance, which is not possible for the gravitational force.

Energy released by fusion in the sun is initially in the form of gamma rays.

Gamma rays arise from the radioactive decay of nuclei. They are penetrating electromagnetic radiations consisting of very high energy photons.
Gamma rays are ionizing radiations and have very serious biological dangers and hazards (due to their ability of ionizing the atoms).

A soccer player kicks a rock horizontally off a 37 m high cliff into a pool of water. If the player hears the sound of the splas
Alchen [17]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

<em><u>(a). 16.741 m/s</u></em>

<em><u>(b). 15.75 m/s</u></em>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

In the question,

Height of the cliff, h = 37 m

Time taken to reach the sound to us = 2.92 s

Speed of the sound in air at room temperature = 343 m/s

Now,

Let us say the speed of the ball = u m/s

So,

Time taken by the ball to reach at the bottom, t is given by,

t=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}\\t=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 37}{9.8}}\\t=2.747\,s

So,

Splash is heard after = 2.92 s

So,

<u>Time taken by sound to travel the shortest distance along the hypotenuse of the triangle</u> thus formed is,

t = 2.92 - 2.747

t = 0.172 s

Now,

Distance traveled by sound is given by,

Distance=343\times 0.172\\Distance=59.02\,m

So,

In the triangle using the Pythagoras Theorem,

Horizontal distance traveled is,

D=\sqrt{59.02^{2}-37^{2}}\\D=45.99\,m

So,

Speed of throwing of ball is given by,

Distance=Speed\times Time\\45.99=u\times 2.747\\u=16.741\,m/s

<em><u>Therefore, the speed of the ball = 16.741 m/s.</u></em>

(b).

If,

Speed of sound = 331 m/s

So,

<u>Distance traveled by sound</u> is,

Distance=331\times 0.172\\Distance=56.932\,m

So,

Distance traveled in the horizontal by ball is,

Distance=\sqrt{56.932^{2}-37^{2}}\\Distance=43.269\,m

So,

Speed of the ball thrown is given by,

Speed=\frac{Distance}{Time}\\Speed=\frac{43.269}{2.747}\\Speed=15.75\,m/s

<em><u>Therefore, the speed of the ball = 15.75 m/s.</u></em>
