Why does gravity hold objects on earth?

The Sun's gravitational pull keeps our planet orbiting the Sun. The motion of the Moon is affected by the gravity of the Sun AND the Earth. The Moon's gravity pulls on the Earth and makes the tides rise and fall every day. ... The Earth always produces the same acceleration on every object.
Hope this helps have a great day :)

Gravity is an attractive force that works to pull objects together. If 2 objects are close the gravitational pull will be stronger
Mass and distance determine gravity. The farther two things are away from each other, the weaker the gravitational forces are, the less mass an object has the less gravitational force it exerts

Objective Lenses: Usually you will find 3 or 4 objective lenses on a microscope. They almost always consist of 4X, 10X, 40X and 100X powers. When coupled with a10X (most common) eyepiece lens, we get total magnifications of 40X (4X times10X), 100X , 400X and 1000X.

What is the effective resistance between the points A and D? A) 1.3 Ω B) 2.2 Ω C) 10 Ω D) 12 Ω

Rudiy27

Answer:

B) 2.2 Ω

Explanation:

First of all, we should notice that the resistor placed between A and B is short-circuited. In fact, the current from point A will follow the wire above between A and C (which has zero resistance), so we can basically ignore the presence of the resistor between A and B, since it has no effect on the circuit.

Then, we can notice that the two resistors between CB and CD are in parallel to each other; therefore, their equivalent resistance is given by:

$\frac{1}{R}=\frac{1}{R_{BC}}+\frac{1}{R_{CD}}=\frac{1}{4.0 \Omega}+\frac{1}{5.0 \Omega}=\frac{9}{20 \Omega}\\R= \frac{20 \Omega}{9}=2.2 \Omega$
