Newton's law of universal gravitation doesn't say anything about the cause of gravity.

Einstein's theory of relativity does.

Newton”s theory says this can occur because of gravity, a force attracting those objects to one another or to a single, third object. Einstein also says this occurs due to gravity- but in his theory, gravity is not a force. It is a curve in space-time.

Imagine holding a basketball in both hands, throwing it straight up as high as you can, and then catching it when it falls. At w

Alisiya [41]

Answer:

C. At the instant the ball reaches its highest point.

Explanation:

When a body is thrown up, it tends to come down due to the influence of gravitational force acting on the body. The body will be momentarily at rest at its maximum point before falling. At this maximum point, the velocity of the body is zero and since force acting on a body is product of the mass and its acceleration, the force acting on the body at that point will be "zero"

Remember, F = ma = m(v/t)

Since v = 0 at maximum height

F = m(0/t)

F = 0N

This shows that the force acting on the body is zero at the maximum height.

What happens when the thermal energy of a substance increases?

Sonja [21]

When thermal energy of a substance increases, it's entropy(randomness) & Kinetic energy increases.

A 1-kg iron frying pan is placed on a stove. The pan increases from 20°C to 250°C. If the same amount of heat is added to a pan

sergejj [24]

Here mass of the iron pan is given as 1 kg

now let say its specific heat capacity is given as "s"

also its temperature rise is given from 20 degree C to 250 degree C

so heat required to change its temperature will be given as

$Q = ms \Delta T$

$Q = 1*s*(250 - 20)$

$Q = 1*s*230$

now if we give same amount of heat to another pan of greater specific heat

so let say the specific heat of another pan is s'

now the increase in temperature of another pan will be given as

$Q = ms'\Delta T$

$1*s*230 = 1* s' * \Delta T$

now we have

$\Delta T = (\frac{s}{s'})*230$

now as we know that s' is more than s so the ratio of s and s' will be less than 1

And hence here we can say that change in temperature of second pan will be less than 230 degree C which shows that final temperature of second pan will reach to lower temperature

So correct answer is

<u>A) The second pan would reach a lower temperature.</u>
