The product of m1m2 in the formula for gravitational force is always

Physics
1 answer:
Nataly [62]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The correct answer is the second option

Explanation:

The formula in question (for gravitational force) is provided below

F = G.m₁.m₂/r²

Where

F = force of gravity

G = gravity constant (6.674 × 10⁻¹¹ m.kg⁻¹.s⁻²)

m₁ and m₂ = are the masses of the objects

r² = distance between the centers of the two objects

From the above, <u>it can be deduced that m₁ and m₂ are masses and hence can only be positive. Positives multiplied together only gives positive, thus the second option is correct.</u>

A piece of glass has a temperature of 72.0 degrees Celsius. The specific heat capacity of the glass is 840 J/kg/deg C. A liquid
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

741 J/kg°C

Explanation:

Given that

Initial temperature of glass, T(g) = 72° C

Specific heat capacity of glass, c(g) = 840 J/kg°C

Temperature of liquid, T(l)= 40° C

Final temperature, T(2) = 57° C

Specific heat capacity of the liquid, c(l) = ?

Using the relation

Heat gained by the liquid = Heat lost by the glass

m(l).C(l).ΔT(l) = m(g).C(g).ΔT(g)

Since their mass are the same, then

C(l)ΔT(l) = C(g)ΔT(g)

C(l) = C(g)ΔT(g) / ΔT(l)

C(l) = 840 * (72 - 57) / (57 - 40)

C(l) = 12600 / 17

C(l) = 741 J/kg°C

Lila is a track and field athlete. She must complete four laps around a circular track. The track itself is a 400 meter track an
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

Her speed is 1.1 m/s, and her velocity is 0 m/s

Explanation:

Speed = Distance covered/Time

Given

Distance = 400m

Time = 6minutes = 6*60 = 360 secs

Substitute the given parameter into the formula;

Speed = 400/360

Speed = 1.1m/s

Since the track is a circular track, the displacement will be zero. She is only moving in a circular path (no direction)

Velocity = Displacement/Time

Velocity = 0/3600

Velocity = 0m/s

Hence her speed is 1.1 m/s, and her velocity is 0 m/s

house current is 120 volts. if a light bulb runs a current of 0.5 amps, what is the resistance of the bulb
Sauron [17]
Ohm's Law tells the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance.
It can be written in three different ways, depending on which ones you know,
and which one you want to find.

Here's the one we need:       

                           Resistance  =  (voltage) divided by (current)

                                               =  (120 V)  /  (0.5 Amp)

                                               =          240 ohms .

The increase of kinetic energy at the square of the speed of your vehicle has a major influence on all motor vehicles in three p
Viktor [21]

This implies that stopping distance and impact force grow as a function of speed. The best ways to improve manoeuvrability and lessen crash severity are to drive at an appropriate pace and to slow down as soon as you spot dangers in front of you.

Keep in mind that stopping distance increases with speed; at 50 mph, it is four times longer than at 25 mph, and at 75 mph, the force of impact is nine times greater.

<h3>What is the impact of speed on kinetic energy ?</h3>

When your car expends or absorbs energy to speed up or slow down, you may feel a pull or a jolt, called impulse. Impulse increases as the energy or force increases, and increases as the duration of the force decreases. You'll feel a harder jolt if you speed up or slow down suddenly.

  • Consider: coming to a stop from 60 mph in ten seconds doesn't hurt you or your vehicle because the force of this event is spread out over a long time. But if you hit a wall and come to a stop in just half a second, you'll feel twenty times the impulse, causing severe damage.
