A vector is any quantity that has both a size and a direction.

Some examples of vector quantities: velocity, acceleration, displacement, electrostatic field, magnetic field, momentum, force

They all have different units of measurement for their sizes.

Which component of weight is cause for S.H.M of bob simple pendulum
jeka57 [31]

Explanation:

The Simple Pendulum. A simple pendulum is defined to have a point mass, also known as the pendulum bob, which is suspended from a string of length L with negligible mass ((Figure)). Here, the only forces acting on the bob are the force of gravity (i.e., the weight of the bob) and tension from the string.

A skater with a mass of 72 kg is traveling east at 5.8 m/s when he collides with another skater of mass 45 kg heading 60° south
Akimi4 [234]

The final velocity is 5.87 m/s

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given-

mass, m_{1} = 72 kg

speed, v_{1} = 5.8 m/s

Mass_{2},m_{2}  = 45 kg

speed_{2},v_{2}  = 12 m/s

Θ = 60°

Final velocity, v = ?

Applying the conservation of momentum:

m_{1} X v_{1} + m_{2} X v_{2} = (m_{1} +m_{2} ) v

72 X 5.8 + 45 X 12 X cos 60° = (72 + 45) v

v = 417.6 + 540 X \frac{0.5}{117}

v = 417.6 + \frac{270}{117}

v = 5.87 m/s

The final velocity is 5.87 m/s

The law of universal gravitation states that a gravitational force exists between all objects in the universe. This force is dir
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

D. It has been demonstrated to be without exception under certain stated conditions.

Explanation:

A principle is simply a proposition based on some results from some experiments. A principle becomes a law when it gains strength. That is when other scientists support and back it.

A scientific law is a statement that describes a natural phenomenon and is not contradicted by repeated experiments over the time.

Sir Isaac Newton's law of gravitation stated "A gravitational force exists between all objects in the universe. This force is directly proportional to the masses of the two objects and inversely proportional to the distance between them."

His law explained that every body in the universe attracts every other body. It explained that it is not just Earth that pulls us towards it. But even sun and moon has their own gravitational pull and so does all other objects. It is just that the Gravitational pull of some objects is negligible.

Newton's law of Gravitation is considered a universal law because it is applicable to almost all the bodies in the universe and is demonstrated to be correct for them under certain conditions.

The earth has a vertical electric field at the surface, pointing down, that averages 119 N/C . This field is maintained by vario
velikii [3]

Answer:

q=5.37*10^{5}C

Explanation:

If we assume that the Earth is a spherical conductor, according to  Gauss's Law, the electric field is given by:

E=\frac{kq}{r^2}

Here k is the Coulomb constant, the excess charge on the Earth's surface and r its radius. Solving for q:

q=\frac{Er^2}{k}\\q=\frac{119\frac{N}{C}(6.371*10^6m)^2}{8.99\frac{N\cdot m^2}{C^2}}\\q=5.37*10^{5}C
