Isaac Newton compared the acceleration of the moon to the acceleration of objects on earth. Believing that gravitational forces were responsible for each, Newton was able to draw an important conclusion about the dependence of gravity upon distance. This comparison led him to conclude that the force of gravitational attraction between the Earth and other objects is inversely proportional to the distance separating the earth's center from the object's center. But distance is not the only variable affecting the magnitude of a gravitational force. Consider Newton's famous equation

Fnet = m • a

Newton knew that the force that caused the apple's acceleration (gravity) must be dependent upon the mass of the apple. And since the force acting to cause the apple's downward acceleration also causes the earth's upward acceleration (Newton's third law), that force must also depend upon the mass of the earth. So for Newton, the force of gravity acting between the earth and any other object is directly proportional to the mass of the earth, directly proportional to the mass of the object, and inversely proportional to the square of the distance that separates the centers of the earth and the object.

Stars begin burning helium to carbon when the temperature rises in the core. This temperature increase is caused by a. gravitati
swat32

When the core temperature rises, stars start burning helium to carbon. Hydrogen and helium are fused in a shell surrounding the core, raising the temperature.

The most prevalent method of generating energy in the cosmos is hydrogen fusion. The gravitational force is utilised to fuse hydrogen at the centres of our Sun and other stars, where it has a density more than 70 times greater than that of steel. Thus, all of the heat and light on earth comes from fusion. Helium is a chemical element with the atomic number 2 and the symbol He. The first member of the noble gas group in the periodic table, it is a colourless, odourless, tasteless, inert, monatomic gas that is not harmful.

The resistance of the body varies from approximately 500 kΩ (when it is very dry) to about 1.20 kΩ (when it is wet). The maximum
scoray [572]

Answer:

a) The maximum potential difference the wet human body can take = 5.88 V

b) This value is very much lower than the normal voltage of household outlets (120 V) and isn't in the same range at all.

This means one should be very careful operating electrical appliances (even at home) while the body is wet.

Explanation:

From Ohm's law, V = IR

The resistance of the body when the body is wet = 1.2 kΩ = 1200 Ω

Maximum safe current that the body can withstand = 4.90 mA = 0.0049 A

Maximum voltage the body can withstand while wet = (Maximum safe current that the body can withstand) × (Resistance of the body when the body is wet) = 0.0049 × 1200 = 5.88 V

b) This value is still very much lower than the normal voltage of household outlets (120 V) and isn't in the same range at all.

This means one should be very careful operating electrical appliances (even at home) while the body is wet.
