What gives an object gravity?

1 answer:

8 0

We don't know WHY there are gravitational forces that attract everything
to everything else.

We DO know that the more mass is involved, the stronger the forces are,
and we know that if an object had no mass then it wouldn't be affected by
gravity. So you could say that it's MASS that gives an object gravity, and
the more mass the object has, the more gravity it has.

A block slides down a frictionless inclined ramp. If the ramp angle is 17.0° and its length is find the speed of the block as it

SashulF [63]

Answer:

$2.4\sqrt{L}$ where L is the length of the ramp

Explanation:

Let L (m) be the length of the ramp, and g = 9.81 m/s2 be the gravitational acceleration acting downward. This g vector can be split into 2 components: parallel and perpendicular to the ramp.

The parallel component would have a magnitude of

$gsin\theta = 9.81 sin17^o = 2.87 m/s^2$

We can use the following equation of motion to find out the final velocity of the book after sliding L m:

$v^2 - v_0^2 = 2a\Delta s$

where v m/s is the final velocity, $v_0$ = 0m/s is the initial velocity when it starts from rest, a = 2.87 m/s2 is the acceleration, and $\Delta s = L$ is the distance traveled:
