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

Two identical conducting spheres, fixed in place, attract each other with an electrostatic force of -0.2589 N when separated by
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

q_1 = 7.19 \times 10^{-6} C

q_2 = -1.0 \times 10^{-6} C

Explanation:

Let the initial charge on the two spheres are

q_1, -q_2

now we know that the force between them is given as

F = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}

0.2589 = \frac{kq_1q_2}{0.5^2}

q_1q_2 = 7.19 \times 10^{-12}

now when two spheres are connected then final charge on them is given as

q = \frac{q_1 - q_2}{2}

now the force between them is given as

0.3456 = \frac{k(q_1 - q_2)^2}{4(0.5)^2}

now we have

q_1 - q_2 = 6.19 \times 10^{-6}

So by solving above two equations we have

q_1 = 7.19 \times 10^{-6} C

q_2 = -1.0 \times 10^{-6} C

Describe the rules for collecting evidence against a defendant
nataly862011 [7]
In a civil case discovery is the process by witch   the plentiful and the defendant exchange information to prove the case or defendant against the accusation. The rules for discovery are usually  the stipulate the request of documents that are reasonable but in an attempt to prove wrongful  termination.The defendant could  ask to turn over the preference review for the past ten years.

A student tosses a ball horizontally from a balcony to a friend 3.8 meters down below them. How long does the ball take to reach
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

The time it takes the ball to fall 3.8 meters to friend below is approximately 0.88 seconds

Explanation:

The height from which the student tosses the ball to a friend, h = 3.8 meters above the friend

The direction in which the student tosses the ball = The horizontal direction

Given that the ball is tossed in the horizontal direction, and not the vertical direction, the initial vertical component of the velocity of the ball = 0

The equation of the vertical motion of the ball can therefore, be represented by the free fall equation as follows;

h = 1/2 × g × t²

Where;

g = The acceleration due gravity of the ball = 9.81 m/s²

t = The time of motion to cover height, h

Then height is already given as h = 3.8 m

Substituting gives;

3.8 = 1/2 × 9.81 × t²

t² = 3.8/(1/2 × 9.81) ≈ 0.775 s²

∴ t = √0.775 ≈ 0.88 seconds

The time it takes the ball to fall 3.8 meters to friend below is t ≈ 0.88 seconds.
