Gravity is a non-contact force.
Vadim26 [7]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

D. gravity is a non-contact force ​      

Explanation:

Gravitational force acts between two bodies having mass. The force is attractive in nature and is independent of the mass of the bodies. Thus, gravity can pull objects towards each other.

The magnitude of this force depends on the mass of the two bodies and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

It is a non-contact force. So, to describe gravity, force fields are necessary. Force fields are used to describe non-contact forces- force on any body at any point in space.

Thus, correct option is D.

kari74 [83]

Answer:

People firstly believe that the planets move in a circular orbit until Newton came up with his hypothesis by inventing calculus so that we could understood and calculated planetary orbits and their accuracy.

Explanation:

  • Everyone assumed the planets were perfect circles until Newton came up with an idea. Slowly people would make maps of the orbits that added circles on circles, and they could never really explain about the movement of the planet. They simply say that planets move on circles but they lacked the math to explain or prove it. Then Newton came up with an idea of inventing calculus so that we could understood and calculated planetary orbits and their accuracy.
  • Firstly people used their observations and say that the orbits looked like circles, then they developed their models and did the math, and proposed their hypothesizes which were wrong, until Newton came along and tried to match a model that used elliptical orbits and invented the math that allowed him to make predictions with it. His model worked for most planets.
  • However he could not explain about the planet Mercury for instance since it was a very strange orbit. Then after the Einstein's theory of General Relativity he could also explain very deeply about it.
  • Scientists and Astronomers made hypothesizes that there was another planet orbiting too close to the sun to see with telescopes, called Vulcan, that explained mercury's orbit before Einstein's theory. Then long after we had telescopes which was good enough to see if there was a planet orbiting closer to the sun than mercury.

A 1.40-kg ball tied to a string fixed to the ceiling is pulled to one side by a force F→ . where L = 1.40 kg. What is the tensio
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

T=13.72N

Explanation:

The tension before the ball is released have no angle is in rest at the same axis of the weight so:

∑F=0

Using Newton law in this case the ball is tied so tension before become to swing is

∑F=FN-T=0

T=F_{N}

T=m*g

T=1.40Kg*9.8\frac{m}{s^2}

T=13.72N
