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.

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.

Examine the spectra of the four unknown substances shown below. What can you conclude?

oksian1 [2.3K]

Line spectra are obtained when individual elements are heated using a high-voltage electrical discharge. This heating causes excitation of the element and a subsequent emission of distinct lines of colored light are obtained. Each element has its own unique emission line spectrum; therefore, if any of the tested substances were the same, their spectra would match. However, this is not the case so none of the substances are the same.
hope it helps!

DaniilM [7]

Answer:

$R = x_{max} = \frac{v^2\sin(2\theta)}{g}\\\frac{R_1}{R_2} = \frac{\sin(2\theta_1}{\sin(2\theta_2}$

Explanation:

Using kinematics equations:

$\Delta x = v_{0x}t\\\Delta y = -\frac{1}{2}gt^2+v_{0y}t$

Use $\Delta y = 0$ due to condition of distance traveled.

Solving second equation for time, there are two solutions. t=0 and

$t=\frac{2v_{0y}}{g}$

Use the expression in the first equation to have

$R = \frac{2v^2 \cos\theta\sin\theta}{g}$

Using trigonometric identities, you have the answer of the distance.

By doing the ratio for two different angles, you have the second answer. Due to sine function properties, the distances can be the same to complementary angles. Example, for 20° and 70°, the distance is the same.
