Answer:

The gravitational force is significantly constant.

Explanation:

The gravitational force is expressed as:

F= G*M*m/d^2

G= Gravitational constant

M= in this case it is the mass of the planet

m= mass of the rock

d= distance of the rocks from the ground (suppose both at the same height for better comparison)

At the same time, we know that the force that each rock experiences is equal to the product of the mass due to acceleration:

F=m*a

We can match both expressions for F:

G*M*m/d^2 = m*a

we simplify m, and we obtain that the acceleration is independent of the mass of the attracted bodies:

a= G*M/d^2

Lina20 [59]

Answer:

1317.4 m

Explanation:

We are given that

Angle=\alpha=40.8^{\circ}

Initial speed =v_0=346m/s

We have to find the horizontal distance covered  by the shell after 5.03 s.

Horizontal component of initial speed=v_{ox}=v_0cos\theta=346cos40.8=261.9m/s

Vertical component of initial speed=v_{oy}=346sin40.8=226.1m/s

Time=t=5.03 s

Horizontal distance =Horizontal\;velocity\times time

Using the  formula

Horizontal distance=261.9\times 5.03

Horizontal distance=1317.4 m

Hence, the horizontal distance covered by the shell=1317.4 m

two punds of water vapor at 30 psia fill the 4ft3 left chmaber of a partitioned system. The right chmaber has twice the volume o
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

pressure of water will be 49.7 atm

Explanation:

given data

pressure = 30 psi = 2.04 atm

water = 2 pound = 907.18

mole of water vapor = 907.19 /2 = 50.4 mole

volume = 4 ft³ = 113.2 L

temperature = 40 F = 277.59 K

to find out

pressure of water

solution

we will apply here ideal gas condition

that is

PV = nRT  .......................1

put here all value and here R = 0.0821 , T temperature and V volume and P pressure and n is no of mole

and we get here temperature

PV = nRT  

2.04 × 113.2 = 50.4×0.0821×T

solve it and we get

T = 55.8 K

so we have given right chamber has twice the volume of the left chamber i.e

volume = twice of volume + volume

volume = 2(113.2) + 113.2

volume = 339.6 L

so from equation 1 pressure will be

PV = nRT

P(339.6) = 50.4 × ( 0.0821) × (277.59)

P = 3.3822 atm = 49.7 atm

so pressure of water will be 49.7 atm

All objects are in motion relative to the sun. <br> a. True<br> b. False
Gre4nikov [31]
That depends on what "objects" refer to.
If "objects" refer to the ones on Earth, then it is TRUE. These objects are in motion relative to the sun same as with Earth itself.

<span>If "objects" refer to the ones outside earth, then it may be a TRUE or FALSE depending on how far or near they are from the sun.</span>

Thermal energy can be converted into motion by which of the following devices?
Ivanshal [37]
C.) Steam engine!

This is because thermal energy is similar to heat energy. You can think of this like boiling water to create “energy.” This is the same thing boil water to create steam engine!

I hope this is helpful and brainiest if correct!
