A. In one short sentence, explain why we call the force of gravity an attractive force.
1 answer:
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
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

1) In a circular motion, the angular displacement 
is given by
where S is the arc length and r is the radius. The problem says that the truck drove for 2600 m, so this corresponds to the total arc length covered by the tire:
. Using the information about the radius, 
, we find the total angular displacement:
2) If we put larger tires, with radius
, the angular displacement will be smaller. We can see this by using the same formula. In fact, this time we have:
where S is the arc length and r is the radius. The problem says that the truck drove for 2600 m, so this corresponds to the total arc length covered by the tire:
2) If we put larger tires, with radius
