Use Newton's universal law of gravitation to explain why gravity is greater on Earth than on Mercury.

Its because the attraction force that pulls objects together increases the heavier the objects are. Since Mercury is much smaller and consequently lighter than earth, it's attraction to an object on the planets surface would be less than if that same object were found on earth. So it's "gravity acceleration" would be less than earth's 9.8m/s^2

Think about lifestyle choices that you make on a daily basis. Choose at least four lifestyle choices which you could change to i
eimsori [14]
A.The four lifestyle choices which I could change are:
1. The amount of physical exercise I engage in on a daily basis.
2, The number of hours I sleep.
3. The quantity of junk foods I consume daily and 
4. Cultivation of the habit of spending time alone daily.
B. My days are always very busy, so I do not engage at all in physical exercise. Adding at least a thirty minute of physical exercise to my daily tasks will improve my health considerable. Due to the nature of my day, I usually eat on the move, thus I eat junk foods everyday. Eating healthy and balanced diet will go a long way in improving my health. I sleep for three hours only everyday, from 2 am to 5 am.This is because I have to leave my house very early in the morning and I don't usually get to sleep until 2 am in the morning. Spending more hours sleeping will improve my overall health. I want to start spending at least 30 minutes alone on a daily basis in order to meditate and to reflect over the events of the day. This will be a great boost to my mental health.

Three rocks, each of varying mass and volume, are released from a window at the same time. The window is at height h above the g
krek1111 [17]

Under the assumption that the three rocks are dropped from the same height, they will hit the ground at the same speed. The gravity of Earth is virtually the same for any object that is small compared to the size of the Earth. The acceleration will change with the distance from the Earth, but this change is so small for the range of heights we work with (consider the range of heights from sea level to the tip of Mount Everest) that we can take the average value and assume it to be constant. This constant value of acceleration due to Earth's gravity is 9.80665m/s²


Because the objects fall under the same constant acceleration, they will hit the ground at the same speed.

If two charged objects each have 2.5 C of charge on them and are located 100 m apart, how strong is the electrostatic force betw
LiRa [457]

Answer:

5.619×10⁶ N

Explanation:

Applying,

F = kqq'/r²................... Equation 1

Where F = electrostatic force between the charges, k = coulomb's constant, q = first charge, q' = second charge, r = distance btween the charges

From the questiion,

Given: q = 2.5 C, q' = 2.5 C, r = 100 m

Constant: 8.99×10⁹ Nm²/C²

Substitute these values into equation 1

F = (2.5×2.5×8.99×10⁹)/100²

F = 56.19×10⁵

F = 5.619×10⁶ N
