Why is gravitational forces equal for everyone?

1 answer:

7 0

That equation is Newton's universal law of gravitation. ... Any two masses exert equal-and-opposite gravitational forces on each other. If we drop a ball, the Earth exerts a gravitational force on the ball, but the ball exerts a gravitational force of the same magnitude (and in the opposite direction) on the Earth.

An object, with mass 32 kg and speed 26 m/s relative to an observer, explodes into two pieces, one 5 times as massive as the oth

Brut [27]

Answer:

$\Delta K = 2164.053\,J$

Explanation:

Let consider the observer as an inertial reference frame. The object is modelled after the Principle of Momentum Conservation:

$(32\,kg)\cdot (26\,\frac{m}{s} ) = (5.333\,kg)\cdot (0\,\frac{m}{s} )+(26.665\,kg )\cdot v$

The speed of the more massive piece is:

$v = 31.202\,\frac{m}{s}$

The kinetic energy added to the system is:

$\Delta K = \frac{1}{2}\cdot [(5.333\,kg)\cdot (0\,\frac{m}{s} )^{2}+(26.665\,kg )\cdot (31.202\,\frac{m}{s} )^{2}]-\frac{1}{2}\cdot (32\,kg)\cdot (26\,\frac{m}{s} )^{2}$

$\Delta K = 2164.053\,J$

The distance between the objective and eyepiece lenses in a microscope is 19 cm . The objective lens has a focal length of 5.5 m

kramer

Answer:

The focal length of eyepiece is 3.68 cm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance = 19 cm

Focal length = 5.5 mm

Magnification = 200

Object distance = -25 cm

We need to calculate the focal length

Using formula of magnification

$m=\dfrac{d}{f_{o}}+\dfrac{-25}{f_{0}f_{e}}$

Put the value into the formula

$f_{e}=\dfrac{19\times(-25)}{.55(-200-\dfrac{19}{.55})}$

$f_{e}=3.68\ cm$

Hence, The focal length of eyepiece is 3.68 cm.

Objects are lighter on the moon than they are on earth. if an object A weighs 25lbs on the Moon and another object B weighs 25 N

solong [7]

Answer:

a. Object A

Explanation:

The mass of an object implies the quantity of matter in it, while the weight is the amount of gravitational force applied on an object.

The object A has a mass of 25 lbs, but object B on the earth has a weight, W, of 25 N.

So that,

For object A on the moon, mass = 25 lbs

For object B on the earth, W = 25 N,

W = m x g

25 = m x 10 (g = 10 m/ $s^{2}$ )

m = $\frac{25}{10}$

= 2.5 lbs

Mass of object B is 2.5 lbs.

Therefore, the mass of the object A is more than that of B.

Decreases, stays the same, increases. The volume decreases because as air is cooled, the individual molecules collectively possess less kinetic energy and the distances between them decrease, thus leading to a decrease in the volume they occupy at a certain pressure (please note that my answer only holds under constant pressure; air, as a gas, doesn't actually have a definite volume). The mass stays the same because physical processes do not create or destroy matter. The law of conservation of mass is obeyed. You're only cooling the air, not adding more air molecules. The density decreases because as the volume decreases and mass stays the same, you have the same mass occupying a smaller volume. Density is mass divided by volume, so as mass is held constant and volume decreases, density increases.
