Answer:

F  = 9.79 x 10⁻⁸ newton

Explanation:

Given,

The mass of Mr. Gewanter, M = 60 Kg

The mass of Martha, m = 55 Kg

The distance between them, d = 1.5 m

The gravitational force between them is given by the formula

                                      F = GMm/d²  newton

Substituting the given values in the above equation

                                     F = (6.673 x 10⁻¹¹ x 60 x 55)/1.5²

                                        = 9.79 x 10⁻⁸ newton

Hence, the gravitational force acting on Martha due to Mr. Gewanter is, F  = 9.79 x 10⁻⁸ newton

A 5.31 kg object is swung in a vertical circular path on a string 2.99 m long. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . If the

Answer:

T = 120.3 N

Explanation:

Since, the tension in the rope is acting against both the centripetal force and the weight of the stone. As both act downward towards center of the circle and tension acts towards point of support that is upward. So, tension will be equal to the sum of centripetal force and weight of the stone:

Tension = Centripetal Force + Weight of Stone

T = mv²/r + mg

where,

m = mass of stone = 5.31 kg

r = radius of circle = length of string = 2.99 m

g = 9.8 m/s²

Therefore,

T = (5.31 kg)(6.2 m/s)²/(2.99 m) + (5.31 kg)(9.8 m/s²)

T = 68.27 N + 52.03 N

<u>T = 120.3 N</u>

Mains electricity is an ac supply. Explain the difference between direct and alternating potential difference.
Gennadij [26K]

Direct current (DC) is the flow of electric charge in only one direction. It is the steady state of a constant-voltage circuit. Most well-known applications, however, use a time-varying voltage source. Alternating current (AC) is the flow of electric charge that periodically reverses direction.

What is a tool that can be used to measure the size of a force
Travka [436]
The answer to this question would be: a spring scale.

The spring scale that you use to determine your body weight is actually a device that measures your body gravitational force. The force itself influenced by your body weight, that is why it can determine your body weight.
More weight means more force, more force will shrink the spring more.

Comparing sound waves with different frequencies and wavelengths traveling through air,
aleksklad [387]

Explanation:

The speed of sound wave only depends on the property of the medium like density and the bulk modulus of the medium particle. The speed of sound also depends on the temperature of the medium.

On comparing sound waves with different frequencies and wavelengths traveling through air, the speed of the wave doesn’t depend on the frequency or the wavelength. Hence, the correct option is (1).
