the gravitonal pull

Explanation:

Brut [27]3 years ago

The details are very long and complicated. The simplest way I can answer those 4 questions is: That's the way gravity works.

If you take Newton's law of gravity and his three laws of motion, and massage them properly using some geometry and some calculus, you can show that planets MUST move like Kepler's laws say they do, and like what we see them actually doing in the sky.

(I used to be able to do this, but it's been a while.)

How is velocity affected when balanced forces act on an object?
MrRissso [65]
When the forces acting on a body are balanced, their effect
\on the body's motion is the same as if no forces at all are
acting on it, and its velocity can't change.  It continues moving
in a straight line at constant speed (which may be zero).

A 2.0-kg block is on a perfectly smooth (frictionless) ramp that makes an angle of 30^\circ30 ​∘ ​​ with the horizontal. What is
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Since the surface is frictionless therefore there will be no friction force on block but there will be weight of block which we can divide in to two components i.e. mgcosθ &mgsinθ which is perpendicular and parallel to the surface respectively.

In response to mgcosθ ramp will apply a normal force to the block which will be of equal magnitude to that of mgcosθ.

Therefore Ramp will apply a Force of mgcosθ on block where m is the mass of block.

Mains electricity is an ac supply. Explain the difference between direct and alternating potential difference.
Gennadij [26K]

Direct current (DC) is the flow of electric charge in only one direction. It is the steady state of a constant-voltage circuit. Most well-known applications, however, use a time-varying voltage source. Alternating current (AC) is the flow of electric charge that periodically reverses direction.

Greg is in a car at the top of a roller-coaster ride. The distance, d, of the car from the ground as the car descends is determi
Talja [164]
The solution to the problem is as follows:

 <span>Average = 80 
So Sum = 80 * 5 = 400 
Mode = 88, so two results are 88 (if three results were 88, then the median would be 88). 
Three results are 81, 88, and 88. 
That leaves 143. We could still have one 81 score, so that leaves the lowest score as 62. 

Greg is in a car at the top of a roller-coaster ride. The distance, d, of the car from the ground as the car descends is determined by the equation d = 144 - 16t2, where t is the number of seconds it takes the car to travel down to each point on the ride. How many seconds will it take Greg to reach the ground? 
d = 144 - 16t2 
0 = 144 - 16t2 
16t^2=144 
t^2=9 
t=3</span>

A stone that starts at rest free falls for 7.0 s. How far does the stone fall in this time?
vredina [299]

Gravitational acceleration is approx 9.8 m/s
Time is 7s

a=9.8 m/s
t=7s

a = d/t^2

therefore:

d = a * t^2

d = 9.8 * 7^2

d = 9.8 * 49

d = 480.2 [m]
