The equation for the force of gravity is F=Gm(planet)m(satellite)/radius(of orbit)^2


Therefore, the square of the distance between the objects (the earth and the satellite) inversely affects the force of gravity on the satellite. This means that the farther apart the objects are, the smaller the force of gravity is (not the constant acceleration of 9.8m/s^2).

Answer:

22Volts

Explanation:

The pd at the terminal is known as the emf

Since there are Ten 2.2V cells

Terminal voltage = number of cells * pd of one cell

Terminal voltage = 10 * 2.2

Terminal voltage = 22V

Hence the pd at the battery terminals​ is 22Volts

What is a gravitational wave and why was it so hard to detect?
Alika [10]

Answer:

gravitational waves are ripples in spece-time caused primarily when objects are accelerated and the energy for the acceleration is transpoted as gravitational radiation.

they are difficult to detect because they require very sensitive technology or you will have to wait unitl black holes collide.

Pls help :(( I need help!! Its physics! motion and forces!
Delvig [45]

Answer: Pedaling your bike : acceleration :: applying the brakes : inertia.

The reason I think this to be the answer to the analogy is because there is energy and work used in both processes (and the unit focuses on forces); gravity is constant and does not change whether one pedals or applies brakes. And I do not think it's deceleration, as deceleration tends to equate to acceleration within the physics perspective.

Edit: I should also add that since you clarified that your unit is motion and forces, Newtons 1st law is the law of inertia. The way to change an objects motion for it to slow down is by applying an additional force. That resistance the bike experiences to slow is the process of inertia. Inertia happens in order to accelerate an object (either by slowing it down, or speeding it up): i.e., the resistance to change.
