<u>Answer:</u>

Option A. A seagull drops a clam while flying over a beach is a practical example of gravity acting on an object.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The force that attracts two bodies or objects towards each other is gravity or gravitational force. Here, the seagull is dropping a clam during its flight this is one of the example of the phenomenon of gravitational force. The clam falls from the height over the beach with a vertical velocity, accelerated by the gravitational force.

  • Gravity on Earth is 9.807 \ m/s^2
  • The formula for gravity is \bold {F=\frac{GMm}{r^2}}

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Option A is the correct i-e A seagull drops a clam while flying over a beach. As we need the example of gravity. Gravity is that force due to which everything is attracted towards the center of the Earth.All other examples are not descrobing the force of gravity clearly by its definatin thats why A is the most suitable.

True or false. On a distance-versus-time graph, a speed of zero would appear as a horizontal line.
lidiya [134]

Yes, that's a true statement.

The slope of a distance-time graph is speed.  When speed is zero,
the slope of the graph is zero, and that's a horizontal line.

Can the kinetic energy of an object be negative? Can the potential energy of an object be negative? Can a potential energy funct
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

Kinetic energy cannot be negative

potential energy is a reference dependent quantity and it can be positive as well as negative both

Since potential energy is defined only for conservative force so it can not be found for friction force

Explanation:

Kinetic energy of an object is given by the formula

KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

here we know that

m = mass of object that can not be negative

v = speed of the object and since its square is given here so it can not be negative

so Kinetic energy is always positive

potential energy is given as the energy due to the virtue of the position of object

so it is

\Delta U = -\int F.dr

so potential energy is a reference dependent quantity and it can be positive as well as negative both

Since potential energy is defined only for conservative force so it can not be found for friction force

What is the difference between liquid and fluid friction
frez [133]
Friction is used to refer to forces that resist relative motion, in general,whereas viscosity refers specifically to resistive forces that occur between layers of a fluid when fluids attempt to flow. Fluid friction is the force that resists the movement of a solid object through a fluid(liquid or gas). Sky divers falling down through the sky experience a type of fluid frictioncalled air resistance.
