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 ball with a mass of 3.1 kg is moving in a uniform circular motion upon a horizontal surface. The ball is attached at the cente

inessss [21]

Answer:

3.46 seconds

Explanation:

Since the ball is moving in circular motion thus centripetal force will be acting there along the rope.

The equation for the centripetal force is as follows -

$F=\frac{mv^2}{r}$

Where, $m$ is the mass of the ball, $v$ is the speed and $r$ is the radius of the circular path which will be equal to the length of the rope.

This centripetal force will be equal to the tension in the string and thus we can write,

$20.4 = \frac{3.1\times v^2}{2}$

and, $v^2 = 13.16$

Thus, $v = 3.63$ m/s.

Now, the total length of circular path = circumference of the circle

Thus, total path length = 2πr = 2 × 3.14 × 2 = 12.56 m

Time taken to complete one revolution = $\frac{\text {Path length} }{\text {Speed}}$ = $\frac{12.56}{3.63}$ = 3.46 seconds.

Thus, the mass will complete one revolution in 3.46 seconds.

How many atoms are in 3MgCl2?

Bogdan [553]

Answer:

3MgCl2 has 9 atoms.

Explanation:

The Element Magnesium (Mg) has 3 atoms.

The Element Chloride (Cl) has 6 attoms.

Their fore 6 + 3 is 9 of course. 3MgCl2 has 9 atoms.

BTW: 3MgCl2 is a molecular compound as well as H2O and CO2.

Imani stirs a cup of hot sencha tea with a cool silver spoon. She notices that the silver spoon becomes warmer. What energy chan

Lina20 [59]

Answer:

D. The tea loses heat to the spoon causing the spoon to become warmer

Explanation:

When the silver spoon at a lower temperature than the tea, is added to the tea, it makes thermal contact. Hence, the heat transfer starts between the two until the equilibrium is reached. We know that the heat transfer takes place from the body with a higher temperature to a body with a lower temperature. As a result, the body with higher temperature loses heat and its temperature lowers down. While the body with a lower temperature gains heat and its temperature rises.

Therefore, the correct option is:

<u>D. The tea loses heat to the spoon causing the spoon to become warmer</u>

Given a force of 100 N and acceleration of 5 m/s2, what is the mass

tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

20 kg

Explanation:

remember the equation f=ma.

100 N=force

5 m/s2= acceleration

so you need to divide force by acceleration: 100 N/ 5 m/s2= 20 kg, to get the mass.
