Due to gravity and inertia, the satellite follows a uniform circular motion. In this movement, the velocity is always tangent to the orbit and the centripetal force is directed towards the center. Therefore, there is no net acceleration in the same direction of velocity, which implies that it remains constant.

Gravitational pull is determined by

nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

The gravitational pull is determined by the mass and distance.

Explanation:

According to Newton's law of universal gravitation

$F = G\frac{m1.m2}{r^{2} }$

where F is the gravitational pull, G is gravitational constant, m₁ and m₂ are masses of bodies and r is the distance between them.

It can be seen from the above equation that F is directly proportional to the product of the masses and inversely proportional to the square of distance between them.

F ∝ m₁m₂

F ∝ 1/r²

Answer: 42

Explanation:

I will answer this in English.

We know that the apple needs 5 seconds to reach the ground.

Each floor of the building has a height of 2.88m.

Now, when we drop something, the only force acting on the object is the gravitational one, so the acceleration of the apple is:

a = -g

for the velocity, we integrate the acceleration over time, and as the apple is dropped, we do not have any initial velocity, so we do not have a constant in the integration:

v = -g*t

for the position we integrate again, now we have an initial height H, so the position is:

p = (-g/2)*t^2 + H

now the apple hits the ground when p = 0, so we can solve this equation to find H.

i will use g = 9.8m/s^2

0 = (-4.9m/s^2)*(5s)^2 + H

H = 122.5 m

now knowing H, we can divide it by the height of a floor in the building and get the number of the floor.

N = 122.5m/2.88m = 42.5

this means that the apple was dropped in the floor 42 (the 0.5 means that the apple was not right where the floor 42 starts, it was dropped around the middle of the floor 42)

A fixed container containing an ideal gas is heated. The pressure of the gas increases because:_________

evablogger [386]

A fixed container containing an ideal gas is heated. The pressure of the gas increases because the molecules move faster.

You can speed up the motion of the molecules in a gas by heating it. The pressure will rise and there will be greater impacts on the container's walls.

The container walls are pressed against by the combined force of the collisions. The energy you provide when you heat the gas makes the gas's particles more kinetically energetic and put more pressure on the container.

As the temperature rises, the pressure must as well since pressure is the force the particles per unit of area exert on the container.
