True or False: The energy increase of an object acted on only by a gravitational force is equal to the product of the object's w

eight and the distance the object falls.

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

The statement shown in the question above is false and this can be confirmed by Newton's law on universal gravitation. According to Newton, the gravitational force exerted on any body is proportional to its weight, but the distance that the object travels when falling is disproportionate. In addition, if the force resulting from the weight of the object and its displacement has an angle of 0º, the weight force of that object will provide an increase in kinetic energy.

Suppose a nonconducting sphere, radius r2, has a spherical cavity of radius r1 centered at the sphere's center. Assuming the cha
leva [86]

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) Between r = 0 and r = r₁

Electric field will be zero . It is so because no charge lies in between r = 0 and r = r₁ .

b ) From r = r₁ to r = r₂

At distance r , charge contained in the sphere of radius r

volume charge density x 4/3 π r³

q = Q x r³ / R³

Applying Gauss's law

4πr² E = q / ε₀

4πr² E = Q x r³ / ε₀R³

E= Q x r / (4πε₀R³)

E ∝ r .

c )

Outside of r = r₂

charge contained in the sphere of radius r = Q

Applying Gauss's law

4πr² E = q / ε₀

4πr² E = Q  / ε₀

E = Q  / 4πε₀r²

E ∝ 1 / r² .

The question is on the picture.

Between noon and 2 pm, the amount of water in the rain gauge decreased.
This can be caused by evaporation, which turns water into water vapor.
Precipitation would increase the amount of rain water in the gauges, not decrease it.
Condensation occurs after evaporation but wouldn't decrease the water in the gauges by itself.
Runoff is when water on land drains into water sources such as lakes, rivers, oceans, etc. 
So the answer is A. evaporation.

Displacement vectors of 4km north, 2km south, 5km north, 5km south combine to a total displacement of
goldfiish [28.3K]

<u>Answer</u>

The combined displacement is 2km north


<u>Explanation</u>


Since displacement is a vector quantity, we take into account the direction.


Good for us all the displacement vectors are in the same dimension, so we can make north positive and south negative or vice-versa.


We now add to obtain,

4+-2+5+-5

This will simplify to

=4-2+5-5=2

Therefore the combined displacement is 2km north

The fluid pressure 10 ft underwater is _____ the fluid pressure 5 ft underwater. A.less than or greater than, depending on what
just olya [345]
<span>I would say greater than because as you do deeper, the pressure strengthens. If you were in a 10 ft deep pool and you dive all the way to the bottom, the ears usually pop. That's because of the pressure. Whereas if you were to go five feet, your ears wouldn't. It depends on the age of the person. Hope this helps.</span>
