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

Physics

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

A 5 kg fish swimming at 1 m/s swallows an absentminded 500 g fish swimming toward it at a velocity that brings both fish to a ha
AlexFokin [52]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the conservation of momentum. Momentum is defined as the product between mass and velocity of each body. And its conservation as the equality between the initial and final momentum. Mathematically described as

m_1u_1+m_2u_2 = (m_1+m_2)v_f

Here

m_1 = Mass of big fish

m_2 = Mass of small fish

v_1 = Velocity of big fish

v_2 = Velocity of small fish

v_F = Final Velocity

The big fish eats small fish and the final velocity is zero. Rearrange the equation for the initial velocity of small fish we have

m_1u_1=-m_2u_2

u_2 = -\frac{m_1u_1}{m_2}

Replacing we have,

u_2 = -\frac{(5kg)(1m/s)}{0.5kg}

u_2 = -10m/s

The negative sign indicates that the small fish is swimming in the direction opposite to that of the big fish.

Therefore the speed of the small fish is 10m/s

An applied force varies with position according to F = k1 x n − k2, where n = 3, k1 = 3.6 N/m3 , and k2 = 76 N. How much work is
aniked [119]

Answer:

The work done is 205 kJ.

Explanation:

Hi there!

Work can be calculated using the following equation:

W = F · Δx

Where:

W = work

F = applied force

Δx = displacement

In this case, the force varies with the position, so we can divide the traveled distance in very small parts and calculate the work done over each part of the trajectory. Then, we have to sum all the works and we will obtain the work done from the initial position (xi) to the final position (xf). This is the same as saying:

W = ∫ F · dx  

F = 3.6 N/m³ · x³ - 76 N

W = ∫ (3.6 x³ - 76)dx

W = 0.9 x⁴ - 76x

Evaluating from xi to xf:

W = 0.9 N/m³ (21.9 m)⁴ - 76 N · 21.9 m - 0.9 N/m³(5.41 m)⁴ + 76 N · 5.41 m

W = 205 kJ

A bird flies 3.7 meters in 46 seconds, what is its speed?
victus00 [196]

Answer:

Speed is 0.08 m/s.

Explanation:

Given the distance that the bird flies = 3.7 meters

The time is taken by the bird to fly the 3.7 meters = 46 seconds  

We have given distance and time. Now we have to find the speed at which the bird flies. So, to calculate the speed of the bird we have to divide the distance by the time.  

Below is the formula to find the speed.

Speed = Distance / Time

Now insert the given value in the formula.

Speed = 3.7 / 46 = 0.08 m/s
