The answer is A. When the forces are weaker, they will not be able to hold the particles of the substances together; therefore, the substance will be observed as being volatile.

As the mass of an object increases so does its gravitational force. <br> a. True <br> b. False
vichka [17]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Gravity force is constant.

There some places on Earth that gravity has a variation, but in general, it is the same everywhere.

If you analyze the equation for the weight, which is the action of the gravity to mass, you'll see that W=mg, where m is the mass and g, is gravity.

If you increase the mass, what you are increasing is weight and not gravity.

When hydrogen is fused into helium, energy is released from Choose one: A. the increase in pressure. B. the decrease in the grav
Tatiana [17]

The nuclear fusion of hydrogen atoms releases a huge amount of energy. So the correct choice is C. Conversion of mass to energy.

What is nuclear fusion?

When two small nuclei join to form a new nucleus, then this process is termed nuclear fusion. A huge amount of energy is released when there occurs nuclear fusion between the two nuclei. And a new element is formed.

It has been observed that the amount of energy released in nuclear fusion is equal to the mass difference between the mass of the formed nucleus and the total mass of old nuclei. Hence in the nuclear fusion of hydrogen nuclei to form a helium nucleus, the energy is released due to the conversion of mass into energy.

The pressure is increased to make the hydrogen atoms fuse but this change in pressure does not contribute to the energy released in the fusion of hydrogen.

The magnitude of the gravitational field is too low and it does not contribute to the energy released in the fusion of hydrogen.

The gravitational collapse does not occur between the two hydrogen atoms. This phenomenon occurs in celestial bodies so this also does not contribute to the energy released in the fusion of hydrogen.

The suspension cable of a 1,000 kg elevator snaps, sending the elevator moving downward through its shaft. The emergency brakes
tester [92]

Answer:

option (E) 1,000,000 J

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the suspension cable, m = 1,000 kg

Distance, h = 100 m

Now,

from the work energy theorem

Work done by the gravity = Work done by brake

or

mgh = Work done by brake

where, g is the acceleration due to the gravity = 10 m/s²

or

Work done by brake  = 1000 × 10 × 100

or

Work done by brake = 1,000,000 J

this work done is the release of heat in the brakes

Hence, the correct answer is option (E) 1,000,000 J

A jet airliner moving initially at 406 mph (with respect to the ground) to the east moves into a region where the wind is blowin
astraxan [27]

Answer:

966 mph

Explanation:

Using as convention:

- East --> positive x-direction

- North --> Positive y-direction

The x- and y- components of the initial velocity of the jet can be written as

v_{1x} = 406 mph\\v_{1y} = 0

While the components of the velocity of the wind are

v_{2x} = (568)(cos 15^{\circ})=548.6 mph\\v_{2y} = (568)(sin 15^{\circ})=147.0 mph

So the components of the resultant velocity of the jet are

v_x = v_{1x}+v_{2x}=406+548.6=954.6 mph\\v_y = v_{1y}+v_{2y}=0+147.0=147.0 mph

And the new speed is the magnitude of the resultant velocity:

v=\sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}=\sqrt{(954.6)^2+(147.0)^2}=965.8 mph \sim 966 mph
