Answer:

Explanation:

(a) The force of gravity is called an attractive force because it is the force (although weak) in which a planetary body or matter uses to attract an object towards itself.

(b) Yes, it does and the formula for force of gravity between any two object is

F = G $\frac{m1m2}{r}$

where m1 and m2 are masses of the first and second object respectively

r is the distance between the center of the two masses

G is the gravitational constant

An electric oven has a resistance of 201 ohms and a voltage of 220 V. How much current does it draw?

asambeis [7]

1.1 A. An electric oven with a resistance of 201Ω and a voltage of 220V drwa a current of 1.1 A.

The easiest way to solve this problem is using the Ohm's Law I = V/R.

An electric oven has R = 201Ω, and a drop of voltage V = 220v, solve using I = V/R:

I = 220V / 201Ω

I = 1.09 A ≅ 1.1 A

1. What is wave motion

nadya68 [22]

A wave is basically propagation of disturbances—that is, deviations from a state of rest or equilibrium—from place to place in a regular and organized way. Most familiar are surface waves on water, but both sound and light travel as wavelike disturbances, and the motion of all subatomic particles exhibits wavelike properties.
