Answer: C
The gravity acceleration is in the same direction as the force of gravity, and thus toward the center of the earth.

Explanation:
All celestial bodies in our solar system experience forces between each other. On earth, the localized gravitational force in the earth's atmosphere is directed toward the center of the earth. It's magnitude is
32.174 ft/s² in English units,
9.807 m/s² in SI units.

All objects that have mass are subject to the earth's gravitational acceleration. The product of mass and the earth's gravitational acceleration defines the weight of an object as its gravitational force.

An object is dropped from a height of 25 meters. At what velocity will it hit the ground?
Goryan [66]
You can use Vf^2-Vi^2 = 2ax

Vf^2 - 0 = 2(9.81)(25)

Or you can use energy

mgh = 1/2mv^2

2gh =v^2

Determine the number of ways to throw two die and get the number 11, as well as the probability of getting 11.
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

1/18

Explanation:

The number of ways in which two die can be thrown is the sample space of the experiment

(1,1), (1,2) (1,3), (1,4) (1,5) (1,6)

(2,1), (2,2) (2,3), (2,4) (2,5) (2,6)

(3,1), (3,2) (3,3), (3,4) (3,5) (3,6)

(4,1), (4,2) (4,3), (4,4) (4,5) (4,6)

(5,1), (5,2) (5,3), (5,4) (5,5) (5,6)

(6,1), (6,2) (6,3), (6,4) (6,5) (6,6)

From here it can be seen that there are only two cases where the sum on the two die is 11 i.e., (6,5) and (5,6)

\text{Probability of getting 11}=\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}\\\Rightarrow \text{Probability of getting 11}=\frac{2}{36}\\\Rightarrow \text{Probability of getting 11}=\frac{1}{18}=0.056

∴ Probability of getting 11 is<u> 1/18</u>

How did Micheal Faraday discover the magnetic theory and when?​
serious [3.7K]

Answer:

Faraday made his first discovery of electromagnetism in 1821.  He took the work of Oersted and Ampère on the magnetic properties of electrical currents as a starting point and in 1831 achieved an electrical current from a changing magnetic field, a phenomenon known as electromagnetic induction.
