Answer:

a force that attracts matter to the earth

Explanation:

depends on where you are the gravity can be different in space there is no gravity on Earth there is , that's why when you jump you come back down

<h2>The different forces acting on the ball while its in air</h2>

Amy throws a softball through the air. Applied, drag and gravitational forces are acting on the ball while it’s in the air. The softball experiences force as a result of Amy’s throw. As the ball moves, it experiences from the air it passes through.

It also experiences a downward pull because earth has the property to attract everything which is on the earth towards it. The ball is moving in the air but earth applies force on the ball to get back on the ground. Hence, in this way, gravitational force applies.

There is also a drag force which results due to friction that is present in the air. It resist to move ball in the air and there will also be applied force which is given by a person who throws by applying force.

In 1610, galileo used his telescope to discover four prominent moons around jupiter. their mean orbital radii a and periods t ar
katrin2010 [14]

Time period of any moon of Jupiter is given by

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{r^3}{GM}}

from above formula we can say that mass of Jupiter is given by

M = \frac{4 \pi^2 r^3}{GT^2}

now for part a)

r = 4.22 * 10^8 m

T = 1.77 day = 152928 seconds

now by above formula

M = \frac{4 \pi^2 r^3}{GT^2}

M = \frac{4 \pi^2 (4.22 * 10^8)^3}{(6.67 * 10^{-11})(152928)^2}

M = 1.9* 10^{27} kg

Part B)

r = 6.71 * 10^8 m

T = 3.55 day = 306720 seconds

now by above formula

M = \frac{4 \pi^2 r^3}{GT^2}

M = \frac{4 \pi^2 (6.71 * 10^8)^3}{(6.67 * 10^{-11})(306720)^2}

M = 1.9* 10^{27} kg

Part c)

r = 10.7 * 10^8 m

T = 7.16 day = 618624 seconds

now by above formula

M = \frac{4 \pi^2 r^3}{GT^2}

M = \frac{4 \pi^2 (10.7 * 10^8)^3}{(6.67 * 10^{-11})(618624)^2}

M = 1.89* 10^{27} kg

PART D)

r = 18.8 * 10^8 m

T = 16.7 day = 1442880 seconds

now by above formula

M = \frac{4 \pi^2 r^3}{GT^2}

M = \frac{4 \pi^2 (18.8 * 10^8)^3}{(6.67 * 10^{-11})(1442880)^2}

M = 1.889* 10^{27} kg

How long( in hours, will it take for 500 000 C of charge to flow through a diode if it requires
Alina [70]

Answer:

277.78 hours

Explanation:

The formula for calculating the amount of charge is expressed as;

Q = It

I is the current

t is the time

Given

I =0.05A

Q = 50,000C

Required

Time t

Recall that: Q = It

t = Q/I

t = 50,000/0.05

t = 1,000,000secs

Convert to hours

1,000,000secs  = 1,000,000/3600

1,000,000secs = 277.78 hours

Hence it will take 277.78 hours for the charge to flow through the diode

Objects are lighter on the moon than they are on earth. if an object A weighs 25lbs on the Moon and another object B weighs 25 N
solong [7]

Answer:

a. Object A

Explanation:

The mass of an object implies the quantity of matter in it, while the weight is the amount of gravitational force applied on an object.

The object A has a mass of 25 lbs, but object B on the earth has a weight, W, of 25 N.

So that,

For object A on the moon, mass = 25 lbs

For object B on the earth, W = 25 N,

W = m x g

25 = m x 10                (g = 10 m/s^{2})

m = \frac{25}{10}

   = 2.5 lbs

Mass of object B is 2.5 lbs.

Therefore, the mass of the object A is more than that of B.

Difference between work done against gravity and friction​
mario62 [17]
Mark Brainliest please


Friction is a nonconservative force. Therefore work done against friction cannot be stored as potential energy and later converted back to kinetic the way work against gravity can.

Gravity always pulls objects such as a desk, book or person down. Thus, when you jump, gravity causes you to land on the ground. Friction, however, doesn't pull objects down. ... Instead friction occurs when something like a machine or individual pulls a sliding object in the opposite direction of another object.


Friction and gravity exist in every aspect of a person’s life. For example, almost every movement you make, such as walking and running, involves friction. When you throw a ball up, gravity causes the ball to fall down. A person sliding a book across a table creates friction. Nevertheless, differences between gravity and friction also exist. Force affects gravity and friction in different ways.
