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.

How do fluids excert pressure​
Artyom0805 [142]

All fluids exert pressure like the air inside a tire. The particles of fluids are constantly moving in all directions at random. As the particles move, they keep bumping into each other and into anything else in their path. These collisions cause pressure, and the pressure is exerted equally in all directions.

A passenger train left station A at 6:00 p.m. Moving with the average speed 45 mph, it arrived at station B at 10:00 p.m. A tran

<h2>Average speed of transit train is 60 mph</h2>

Explanation:

Average speed of passenger train = 45 mph

Time taken from station A to station B for passenger train  = 10:00 - 6:00 = 4 hours

Distance between station A to station B = 45 x 4 = 180 miles.

Time taken from station A to station B for transit train  =  4 - 1 = 3 hours

Distance between station A to station B = Average speed of transit train x Time taken from station A to station B for transit train

180 = Average speed of transit train x 3

Average speed of transit train = 60 mph

Average speed of transit train is 60 mph

A metal wire is in thermal contact with two heat reservoirs at both of its ends. Reservoir 1 is at a temperature of 563 K, and r
Schach [20]

Answer:

1.85 J/K

Explanation:

The computation of total change in entropy is shown below:-

Change in Entropy = Sum Q ÷ T

= \frac{-heat\ entering\ the\ reservoir}{Reservoir\ 1\ Temperature} + \frac{Conduction\ of\ heat}{Reservoir\ 2\ Temperature}

= \frac{-1760}{563} + \frac{1760}{354}

= -3.12 + 4.97

= 1.85 J/K

Therefore for computing the total change in entropy we simply applied the above formula.

As we can see that there is heat entering the reservoir so it will be negative while cold reservoir will be positive else the process would be impossible.

Why do noble gasses rarely react with other elements?
ollegr [7]
Noble gasses have an outer shell full of electrons. A full outer energy level is the most stable arrangement of electrons. As a result, noble gases cannot become more stable by reacting with other elements and gaining or losing valence electrons. Therefore, noble gases are rarely involved in chemical reactions and almost never form compounds with other elements.
