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 supersonic jet, with a mass of 21,000 kg, departs from its home airbase with a velocity of 400 m/s due east. What is the jet’s

disa [49]

Answer:

Momentum P is 840000kgm/s or 8.4 × 10^6

Explanation:

Data :

Mass = 21000 kg

Velocity = 400 m/s

So momentum is given as

P = mv

P = 21000×400

P = 8400000 kgm/s

P = 8.4 × 10^6

A mobile starts with a speed of 250m / s and begins to decelerate at a rate of 3m / s². How fast is it after 45s?

Korvikt [17]

$\large{ \underline{ \underline{ \bf{ \purple{Given}}}}}$

Speed of the mobile = 250 m/s
It starts decelerating at a rate of 3 m/s²
Time travelled = 45s

$\large{ \underline{ \underline{ \bf{ \green{To \: find}}}}}$

Velocity of mobile after 45 seconds

We can solve the above question using the three equations of motion which are:-

v = u + at
s = ut + 1/2 at²
v² = u² + 2as

So, Here a is acceleration of the body, u is the initial velocity, v is the final velocity, t is the time taken and s is the displacement of the body.
