What is the inverse square law and how does it relate to gravity?

Physics

Answer:

Inverse Square Law Newton proposed the Inverse Square Law. The effect of gravity (and also on forces such as sunlight) works like this. If say we have a half-mass Earth, it would produce a gravity of not half but a quarter (the square of 2).

makkiz [27]

Hi there!

We can use the following kinematic equation:

v_f^2 = v_i^2 + 2ad

vf = final velocity (? m/s)
vi = intial velocity (0 m/s)

a = acceleration (5 m/s²)

d = displacement (8 m)

Plug in the givens and solve.

v_f^2 = 0 + 2(5)(8)\\\\v_f = \sqrt{80} = \boxed{8.944 \frac{m}{s}}

Which of the following statements concerning the lab is TRUE?
Over [174]

Answer:

(b) To get m3 to slide, m1 must be increased, never decreased.

Explanation:

Lab experiments require attentiveness. If there is one thing missed or not taken seriously whole experiment could go wrong. In this case to slide m3 there should be more weight at m1. If the weight of m1 is lesser than m3 then the object will not slide. It will remain at the point where there is more weight. To slide an object there must be less frictional surface and more weight placed at the desired end point.

Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

The amount of heat transfer is 21,000J .

Explanation:

The equation form of thermodynamics is,

ΔQ=ΔU+W

Here, ΔQ is the heat transferred, ΔU is the change in internal energy, and W is the work done.

Substitute 0 J for W and 0 J for ΔU

ΔQ = 0J+0J

ΔQ = 0J

The change in internal energy is equal to zero because the temperature changes of the house didn’t change. The work done is zero because the volume did not change

The heat transfer is,

ΔQ=Q  (in ) −Q (out )

Substitute 19000 J + 2000 J for Q(in)  and 0 J for Q(out)

ΔQ=(19000J+2000J)−(0J)

=21,000J

​Thus, the amount of heat transfer is 21,000J .

Answer:

Explanation:

a). Find the graph attached for the motion.

b). If a shopper walk 5.4 m westwards then 7.8 m eastwards,

   Distance traveled by the shopper = Distance traveled in eastwards + Distance traveled westwards

                                                            = 5.4 + 7.8

                                                            = 13.2 m

c). Displacement of the shopper = Distance walked westwards - Distance traveled eastwards

                                                      = 5.4 - 7.8

                                                      = -2.4 m

Therefore, magnitude of the displacement of the shopper is = 2.4 m

And the direction of the displacement is eastwards.
