A pair of equal gravitational forces ... one in each direction ...
exists between every speck of mass in the universe and every
other speck of mass.
Hi there!
Great question!
Basketballs have air inside them. A special pump is used to insert the air. That's why you can lift the basketballs off the ground easily. If it was a solid, though, you'd hardly be able to lift the ball up! Basketballs can float, too, because anything with air inside can float. If it were solid, it would sink in the water easily.
Hope this helps! :D
Acceleration of the both masses tied together= 6m/s²
Explanation:
The force is given by F= ma
so 5= m1 (8)
m1=0.625 Kg
for m2
5=m2 (24)
m2=0.208 kg
now total mass= m1+m2=0.625+0.208
Total mass=M=0.833 Kg
now F= ma
5= 0.833 (a)
a= 5/0.833
a=6m/s²
Answer:
Because of inertia (Newton's First Law of motion)
Explanation:
According to Newton's First Law of motion:
"An object at rest (or in motion at constant velocity) will tend to stay at rest (or tend to keep moving with same velocity) unless acted upon an unbalanced force"
In this problem, the object we are analyzing is the coffee cup.
At the beginning, the cup is at rest, together with the car.
Later, the car starts moving when the light turns green.
If we apply Newton's First Law of motion to the cup, we see that the coffee cup tends to keep its state of rest: for this reason, as the car moves forward, the coffee in the cup will spill backward, into the rear seat. This property of an object to mantain its state of motion is also called as inertia.
