Answer:

The gravitational field at any point is independent of the objects placed at that point such as a stone or paper.

And, also the gravitational force acting on a body is determined by the intensity of the field at that point.

Explanation:

Given,

The gravitational force between two bodies separated by a distance r is given by the relation,

                              F =  GMm / r²

Where,

                    M - the mass of the Earth

                    m - the mass of the object

                     r - the distance between the center of masses

Let m₁ be the mass of rock. Then force acting on the rock is given by

                                    F = m₁a

The gravitational force between the stone and Earth is given by

                                    F = GMm₁ / r²

Equating these two forces

                                     m₁a = GMm₁ / r²

Canceling out the mass of the stone.

This shows that the force component acceleration is independent of the mass of the stone.

Hence, it implies that the gravitational field at any point is independent of the objects placed at that point such as a stone or paper.

And, also the gravitational force acting on a body is determined by the intensity of the field at that point.

Answer:

427097

Explanation:

V = Voltage = 170 V

B = Magnetic field = 6.9\times 10^{-5}\ T

f = Frequency = 54.1 Hz

A = Area = 0.024\ m^2

Number of turns is given by

N=\dfrac{V\sqrt{2}}{BA2\pi f}\\\Rightarrow N=\dfrac{170\sqrt{2}}{6.9\times 10^{-5}\times 0.024\times 2\pi\times 54.1}\\\Rightarrow N=427096.933536\approx 427097\ turns

Number of turns is 427097

Precision measurements of the acceleration due to gravity show that the acceleration is slightly different in different location
DochEvi [55]
Gravity largely depends on the comparison of two objects; it's why you have the equation F= (GMm)/r^2. On Earth, you have different altitudes that, with the formula, will give different results for gravity because the radius is different everywhere. This difference on calculations, however, are seen to be miniscule. We know gravity as 9.81 m/s^2 but it might be different by thousandths or hundreds of thousandths of a decimal.
