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 student asks the following question:
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

  Natalie says that all things with mass have a gravitational field, but the force is very weak and cannot be perceived around small objects.

Explanation:

The force due to gravity is proportional to the mass of the object and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between objects. The Earth is so massive that the force due to its gravity is much greater than the force between objects on the counter.

If there were no friction, the objects might move toward each other, depending on what other masses were near them tending to cause them to move in other directions.

Natalie's explanation is about the best.

<em>Additional comment</em>

The universal gravitational constant was determined by Henry Cavendish in the late 18th century using lead balls weighing 1.6 pounds and 348 pounds. His experiment was enclosed in a large wooden box to minimize outside effects. While these masses are somewhat greater than those of a glue bottle and stapler, the experiment shows the force of gravity between "small" objects <em>can</em> be measured.

Oliga [24]

Answer:

0.68 m

Explanation:

We know that the speed of sound in air is a product of frequency and wavelength. Taking speed of sound in air as 340 m/s

V=frequency*wavelength

Then wavelength is given by 350/500=0.68 m

Therefore, to repeat constructive interference at the listener's ear, a distance of 0.68 m is needed
