As the distance increases, the mutual gravitational forces between two objects DEcrease. That's why you're attracted toward the Earth more strongly than toward Jupiter. Or toward the sun.

Decreases. Coulomb's Law is based on this, and it basically says, as masses move further apart, their attraction forces become weaker. So, the answer is A.

A quarterback passes a football from height h = 2.1 m above the field, with initial velocity v0 = 13.5 m/s at an angle θ = 32° a
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

a)    x = v₀² sin 2θ / g

b)    t_total = 2 v₀ sin θ / g

c)    x = 16.7 m

Explanation:

This is a projectile launching exercise, let's use trigonometry to find the components of the initial velocity

        sin θ = v_{oy} / vo

        cos θ = v₀ₓ / vo

         v_{oy} = v_{o} sin θ

         v₀ₓ = v₀ cos θ

         v_{oy} = 13.5 sin 32 = 7.15 m / s

         v₀ₓ = 13.5 cos 32 = 11.45 m / s

a) In the x axis there is no acceleration so the velocity is constant

         v₀ₓ = x / t

          x = v₀ₓ t

the time the ball is in the air is twice the time to reach the maximum height, where the vertical speed is zero

          v_{y} = v_{oy} - gt

          0 = v₀ sin θ - gt

          t = v_{o} sin θ / g

         

we substitute

       x = v₀ cos θ (2 v_{o} sin θ / g)

       x = v₀² /g      2 cos θ sin θ

       x = v₀² sin 2θ / g

at the point where the receiver receives the ball is at the same height, so this coincides with the range of the projectile launch,

b) The acceleration to which the ball is subjected is equal in the rise and fall, therefore it takes the same time for both parties, let's find the rise time

at the highest point the vertical speed is zero

          v_{y} = v_{oy} - gt

          v_{y} = 0

           t = v_{oy} / g

           t = v₀ sin θ / g

as the time to get on and off is the same the total time or flight time is

           t_total = 2 t

           t_total = 2 v₀ sin θ / g

c) we calculate

          x = 13.5 2 sin (2 32) / 9.8

          x = 16.7 m

A book on a 2-meter high shelf has a mass of 0.4 kg. What is its potential energy?
poizon [28]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 7.84 \ Joules}}

Explanation:

The formula for potential energy is:

PE=m*g*h

where <em>m </em>is the mass, <em>g</em> is the gravitational acceleration, and <em>h</em> is the height.

The mass of the book is 0.4 kilograms. The gravitational acceleration on Earth is 9.8 m/s². The height of the book is 2 meters.

m=0.4 \ kg \\g=9.8 \ m/s^2 \\h=2\ m

Substitute the values into the formula.

PE=(0.4 \ kg)(9.8 \ m/s^2)(2 \ m)

Multiply the first two numbers.

  • 0.4 kg*9.8 m/s²= 3.92 kg*m/s²
  • If we convert the units now, the problem will be much easier later on.
  • 1 kg*m/s² is equal to 1 Newton. So, our answer of 3.92 kg*m/s² is equal to 3.92 N

PE=(3.92 \ N )(2 \ m)

Multiply.

  • 3.92 N* 2 m=7.84 N*m
  • 1 Newton meter is equal to 1 Joule (this is why we converted the units).
  • Our answer is equal to<u> 7.84 Joules.</u>

PE=7.84  \ J

Explain why urban sprawl occurs even though it negatively impacts the environment.
Grace [21]
Urban sprawl occurs when housing is filled in one location and car dependent communities are forced to moved away from the central urban areas where the population is too vast, even though this impacts the environment by increasing pollution and causing environmental degradation.

Which statement describes one feature of Rutherford's model of the atom?
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

The atom is mostly empty space.

Explanation:

Ernest Rutherford in the year 1911 developed a model of an atom. In his model the atom was shown that the atom is mostly empty spaces composed of negative electrons which orbits round a positive nucleus just like planets revolving round the sun.

Rutherford came up with this model by performing experiments in 1909 which involves the scattering of alpha particles on a thin gold foil. From this experiments he came up with his model.
