The law of universal gravitation states that a gravitational force exists between all objects in the universe. This force is dir

ectly proportional to the masses of the two objects and inversely proportional to the distance between them. This principle is a law because A. it is contradictory to ideas proposed by other scientists. B. it is subject to change as new technology and evidence emerges. C. it cannot be tested through a controlled scientific investigation. D. it has been demonstrated to be without exception under certain stated conditions.

Answer:

D. It has been demonstrated to be without exception under certain stated conditions.

Explanation:

A principle is simply a proposition based on some results from some experiments. A principle becomes a law when it gains strength. That is when other scientists support and back it.

A scientific law is a statement that describes a natural phenomenon and is not contradicted by repeated experiments over the time.

Sir Isaac Newton's law of gravitation stated "A gravitational force exists between all objects in the universe. This force is directly proportional to the masses of the two objects and inversely proportional to the distance between them."

His law explained that every body in the universe attracts every other body. It explained that it is not just Earth that pulls us towards it. But even sun and moon has their own gravitational pull and so does all other objects. It is just that the Gravitational pull of some objects is negligible.

Newton's law of Gravitation is considered a universal law because it is applicable to almost all the bodies in the universe and is demonstrated to be correct for them under certain conditions.

Suppose a large truck on a hydraulic lift exerts 7,000 N of force on a piston with an area of 0.4 m2. The piston can only suppor
uysha [10]

Pressure is the amount of force per unit area. In formula it is,

P = F ÷ A

P = 7000 N ÷ 0.4 m2

P = 17,500 N/m2

The amount of pressure the truck exerts on the piston is 17,500 N/m2

a ball drops some distance and loses 30 j of gravitational potential energy. do not ignore air resistance. how much kinetic ener
aniked [119]

Thus, more than 30 J of potential energy can be loosed by the ball. Thus, the gravitational potential energy of the ball is more than 30 J.

If there is no air resistance, the ball's potential energy is entirely transformed into kinetic energy. When air resistance is taken into account, a portion of the potential energy is used to overcome it. Thus, AU > AKE. In the current scenario, a ball gains 30 J of kinetic energy while falling and is treated as encountering air resistance. The energy that an object retains due to its position in relation to other objects, internal stresses, electric charge, or other factors is known as potential energy in physics. The potential energy will be transformed into kinetic energy if the stones fall. High on the tree, branches have the potential to fall, which gives them energy. Chemical potential energy exists in the food we eat.

Explain Kepler's laws
cupoosta [38]
Kepler's three laws of planetary motion can be stated as follows: (1) All planets move about the Sun in elliptical orbits, having the Sun as one of the foci. (2) A radius vector joining any planet to the Sun sweeps out equal areas in equal lengths of time.
