Newton discovered that gravity behaves differently in space than it does on Earth. true or false?

Yes. It is true. Gravity behaves differently than on earth. In-fact, as we go above the earth surface the gravity decreases. Gravity as we go above the earth surface can be calculated using following formula:

g' = g(1-2h/R)

Hence, it is true that the gravity behaves differently than on earth.

A box of oranges which weighs 83 N is being pushed across a horizontal floor. As it moves, it is slowing at a constant rate of 0
otez555 [7]

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows.

A box of oranges which weighs 83 N is being pushed across a horizontal floor. As it moves, it is slowing at a constant rate of 0.90 m/s each second. The push force has a horizontal component of 20 N and a vertical component of 25 N downward. Calculate the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the floor.

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

    F_{1} = 20 N, F_{2} = 25 N, a = -0.9 m/s^{2}

             W = 83 N

         m = \frac{83}{9.81}

             = 8.46

Now, we will balance the forces along the y-component as follows.

       N = W + F_{2}

           = 83 + 25 = 108 N

Now, balancing the forces along the x component as follows.

       F_{1} - F_{r} = ma

        20 - F_{r} = 8.46 \times (-0.9)

             F_{r} = 7.614 N

Also, we know that relation between force and coefficient of friction is as follows.

             F_{r} = \mu \times N

          \mu = \frac{F_{r}}{N}

                    = \frac{7.614}{108}

                    = 0.0705

Thus, we can conclude that the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the floor is 0.0705.

A body is moving with a uniform acceleration of 2m/s² what does it mean?​
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

the body has energy due to its constant motion. it means it moves in a uniform acceleration which has zero velocity

Explanation:

Uniform or constant acceleration is a type of motion in which the velocity of an object changes by an equal amount in every equal time period.

A typical ceiling fan running at high speed has an airflow of about 1.85 ✕ 103 ft3/min, meaning that about 1.85 ✕ 103 cubic feet
densk [106]

Answer:

0.8726  m^3/s

Explanation:

We are to convert 1.85 x 10^3 ft^3/min to m^3/s

First, let us convert the numerator from ft3 to m3

1 ft3 = 0.0283 m3

Hence,

1.85 x 10^3 ft3 = 1.85 x 10^3 x 0.0283 m3

     = 52.355 m3

Now, let us convert the denominator from minutes to seconds

1 min = 60 sec

Therefore;

1.85 x 10^3 ft^3/min = 52.355/60  m^3/s

        = 0.8726  m^3/s

To practice Problem-Solving Strategy 30.1: Inductors in Circuits. A circuit has a 1 V battery connected in series with a switch.
ki77a [65]

Answer:

0.0133A

Explanation:

Since we have two sections, for the Inductor region there would be a current i_1. In the case of resistance 2, it will cross a current i_2

Defined this we proceed to obtain our equations,

For i_1,

\frac{di_1}{dt}+i_1R_1 = V

I_1 = \frac{V}{R_1} (1-e^{-\frac{R_1t}{L}})

For i_2,

I_2R_2 =V

I_2 = \frac{V}{R_2}

The current in the entire battery is equivalent to,

i_t = I_1+I_2

i_t = \frac{V}{R_2}+\frac{V}{R_1} (1-e^{-\frac{R_1t}{L}})

Our values are,

V=1V

R_1 = 95\Omega

L= 1.5*10^{-2}H

R_2 =360\Omega

Replacing in the current for t= 0.4m/s

i=\frac{1}{360}+\frac{1}{95}(1-e^{-\frac{95*0.4}{1.5*10^{-2}}})

i= 0.0133A

i_1 = 0.01052A

A ray of light in glass strikes a water-glass interface at an angle of incidence equal to one-half the critical angle for that i
fomenos

Answer:

Explanation:

There will not be any internal reflection . it will be only refraction

critical angle = θ

Sinθ = 1 / μg

μg = 1.43 / 1.33 =

Sinθ = 1.33 / 1.43

= .93

θ = 68.44

angle of incidence i = 68.44 / 2

= 34.22

Sin i / Sin r = μw = 1.33 / 1.43  

= .93

sin 34.22  / sinθ₁ = .93 , θ₁ is angle of refraction.

sinθ₁ = sin 34.22 / .93

= .5623 / .93

= .6047

θ₁ = 37 degree Ans
