<u>Answer</u>

Gravitational force

<u>Explanation</u>

Gravitational force is the force of attraction between two bodies of a given masses. It is calculated as follows:

Gravitational force = GM₁M₂/r²

From the formula it can be seen that gravitational force is inversely proportional to the r where are is the distance between the two bodies.

When the distance increases the gravitational force decreases.

Two identical balloons of the same volume are pumped up with air to more than atmospheric pressure and suspended on the ends of
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

The balance will be upset and it will tip to the side of the still pumped ballon.

Explanation:

Given that the balloons are pumped to more than atmospheric pressure it means that the air inside has a higher density than the air outside. If you punture one balloon the air will be released and now you have on both sides the weight of the balloons itselves, but on the side of the still pumped balloon you will have a greater amount of air (is more dense) so more weight. Considering this, the balance will be upset and it will tip to the side of the still pumped ballon.

A 12,000 kg railroad car is traveling at 2 m/s when it strikes another 10,000 kg railroad car that is at rest. If the cars lock
Degger [83]

Answer:

The final speed of the railroad car

V= 1.14 \frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

v_{1}=2.1\frac{m}{s} \\m_{1}=12000kg\\v_{2}=0\frac{m}{s} \\m_{2}=10000kg \\v_{t}=?

m_{1}*v_{1}+m_{2}*v_{2}= (m_{1}+m_{2})*v_{t}\\v_{t}=\frac{m_{1}*v_{1}}{(m_{1}+m_{2})} \\v_{t}=\frac{12000kg*2.1\frac{m}{s} }{(12000+10000)kg} \\v_{t}=1.14 \frac{m}{s}

That's the final speed of the both railroad car

A simple pendulum consists of a point mass suspended by a weightless, rigid wire in a uniform gravitation field. Which of the fo
alex41 [277]

Answer:

The period is proportional to the square root of the length of the wire.

The period is independent of the suspended mass.

Explanation:

The period of a simple pendulum, in the small angle oscillation approximation, is given by

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}

where

L is the length of the pendulum

g is the acceleration due to gravity

From the formula, we notice the following facts:

- The period is proportional to the square root of the length of the wire, L

- The period is independent of the suspended mass, m

So, these are the two correct statements.

During a braking test, a car is brought to rest beginning from an initial speed of 60 mi/hr in a distance of 120 ft. With the sa
maw [93]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Initial speed u=60\ mi/hr\approx 88\ ft/s

distance traveled before coming to rest d_1=120\ ft

using equation of motion

v^2-u^2=2as

where v=final velocity

u=initial velocity

a=acceleration

s=displacement

0-(88)^2=2\times a\times 120---1

for u_2=80\ mi/hr\approx 117.33\ ft/s

using same relation we get

0-(117.33)^2=2\times a\times (d_2)----2

divide 1 and 2 we get

(\frac{88}{117.33})^2=\frac{120}{d_2}

d_2=213.32\ ft

So a distance if 213.32 ft is required to stop the vehicle with 80 mph speed
