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

Hector drew the diagram below to illustrate projectile motion.
Serjik [45]

<u>Answer </u>

He should make the arrow for “Path” curve downward.

<u>Explanation </u>

The force of gravity is usually directly downward. So from the diagram, it is correctly labelled.

If the object was given a horizontal force, the direction of the inertial is also correct. Inertial is the force the resist the change of state of motion.

What Hector should change is the path followed by the object. It will be a curve not a straight line as it is drawn.

The correct answer is He should make the arrow for “Path” curve downward.

Fill in the blank.<br> _______________, not velocity, is used to calculate the average acceleration.
Ainat [17]

Explanation:

Calculating acceleration is complicated if both speed and direction are changing or if you want to know acceleration at any given instant in time. However, it’s relatively easy to calculate average acceleration over a period of time when only speed is changing. Then acceleration is the change in velocity (represented by Δv) divided by the change in time (represented by Δt):

acceleration=ΔvΔt

show that the centre of a rod of mass M and length L lies midway between the ends assuming that the rod has uniform cross sectio
Ivan

Explanation:

The cross section per unit length is uniform, so ρ is constant.

The center of mass is therefore:

x_avg = (∫₀ᴸ x ρ dL) / (∫₀ᴸ ρ dL)

x_avg = (∫₀ᴸ x dL) / (∫₀ᴸ dL)

x_avg = (½ L²) / (L)

x_avg = ½ L
