Why is gravitational forces equal for everyone?

1 answer:

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.

S= 343m/s
F=256Hz

WL= 343ms/256-1
WL=V/F

= 1.339844m

Choose a substance you're familiar with. what are its physical and chemical properties? How would you measure its density? What

Gekata [30.6K]

you can look at magnesium, it can react with oxygen to form oxides. (chemical) it is malleable and a solid at room temperature. (physical)

to measure its density, the mass and volume can be worked out and from this density too. look up the equation, it is quite easy :)
physical changes -- it can be melted, and oxidized

the chemical changes of oxidation magnesium looses electrons to form oxides, this is a chemical reaction- chemical change..--- use to get the density use (rho) or density D = M/V

After the box comes to rest at position x1, a person starts pushing the box, giving it a speed v1. when the box reaches position

KiRa [710]

As we know by work energy theorem

total work done = change in kinetic energy

so here we can say that wok done on the box will be equal to the change in kinetic energy of the system

$W_p = KE_f - KE_i$
