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.

A 20-liter container contains 2.0 moles of oxygen at a pressure of 92 kpa. the average kinetic energy of translation of oxygen m
Vikentia [17]

From ideal gas law, PV=nRT

where P is the pressure, V is the volume of the container, n is number of moles, R is the gas constant and T is the temperature.

Hence, T=\frac{PV}{nR}=\frac{92*10^{3}*2.0*10^{-3}}{2*3.314}

T= 110.65 k

Kinetic Energy = \frac{3}{2}KT=\frac{3}{2}  (1.38*10^{-23})(110.65)

K.E=  2.2*10^{-21}J

<h3>What is a kinetic energy? </h3>

The energy an object has as a result of motion is known as kinetic energy.

A force must be applied to an object in order to accelerate it. We must put in effort in order to apply a force. After the work is finished, energy is transferred to the item, which then moves at a new, constant speed. Kinetic energy is the type of energy that is transferred and is dependent on the mass and speed attained.

Kinetic energy can be converted into other types of energy and transported between objects. A flying squirrel may run into a chipmunk that is standing still, for instance. Some of the squirrel's initial kinetic energy may have been transferred to the chipmunk or changed into another kind of energy after the collision.

If you put a total of 8.05×106×106 electrons on an intially electrically neutral wire of length 1.03 m, what is the magnitude of
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

The magnitude of the electric field is 0.1108 N/C

Explanation:

Given;

number of electrons, e = 8.05 x 10⁶

length of the wire, L = 1.03 m

distance of the field from the center of the wire, r = 0.201 m

Charge of the electron;

Q = (1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹ C/e) x (8.05 x 10⁶ e)

Q = 1.2896 x 10⁻¹² C

Linear charge density;

λ = Q / L

λ = (1.2896 x 10⁻¹² C) / (1.03 m)

λ = 1.252 x 10⁻¹² C/m

The magnitude of electric field at r = 0.201 m;

E = (\frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_o} )\frac{ 2 \lambda}{r} \\\\E = k \frac{ 2 \lambda}{r}\\\\E = (8.89*10^9)*\frac{2*1.252*10^{-12}}{0.201}  \\\\E = 0.1108 \ N/C

Therefore, the magnitude of the electric field is 0.1108 N/C

A boy can swim 3.0 meter a second in still water while trying to swim directly across a river from west to east, he is pulled by
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

Angle: 48.19^o

Explanation:

<u>Two-Dimension Motion</u>

When the object is moving in one plane, the velocity, acceleration, and displacement are vectors. Apart from the magnitudes, we also need to find the direction, often expressed as an angle respect to some reference.

Our boy can swim at 3 m/s from west to east in still water and the river he's attempting to cross interacts with him at 2 m/s southwards. The boy will move east and south and will reach the other shore at a certain distance to the south from where he started. It happens because there is a vertical component of his velocity that is not compensated.

To compensate for the vertical component of the boy's speed, he only has to swim at a certain angle east of the north (respect to the shoreline). The goal is to make the boy's y component of his velocity equal to the velocity of the river. The vertical component of the boy's velocity is

v_b\ cos\alpha

where v_b is the speed of the boy in still water and \alpha is the angle respect to the shoreline. If the river flows at speed v_s, we now set

v_b\ cos\alpha=v_s

\displaystyle cos\alpha=\frac{v_s}{v_b}=\frac{2}{3}

\alpha=48.19^o
