Answer:

I hope this answer is correct

Explanation:

Difference Between Gravitation and Gravity

Gravitation is referred to the force acting between two bodies which can be represented as the F=(GM1M2)/R2 which means gravitation force is proportional to the product of the masses of the object 1 and object 2 and is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. The gravitational force between earth and any object is known as gravity.

Difference Between Gravitation and Gravity

Gravitation Gravity

It is a universal force It is not a universal force

It is a weak force It is a strong force

The force is F=(GM1M2)/R2 (G= gravitational constant) The force is F=mg (g=acceleration due to gravity)

The direction of gravitational force lies in the radial direction from the masses The direction of the force of gravity is along the line joining the earth’s center and the center of the body. Its direction is towards the center of the earth.

The force can be 0 when the separation between bodies is infinity The force of gravity can be 0 at the center of the earth

It requires two masses It requires only one mass

A space vehicle accelerates uniformly from 85 m/s at t = 0 to 164 m/s at t = 10.0 s .How far did it move between t = 2.0 s and t
creativ13 [48]

First, we have a change in the velocity from 85 to 164 m/s in 10 sec.

Then, we calculate the <u>acceleration </u>as:

a=\frac{v_{f}-v_{i} }{t} =\frac{164-85}{10}=7.9 m/s^2

Hence we need to calculate the velocity of the space vehicle at t = 2 sec using the first equation of motion:

v_{f}=v_{i}+at=85+7.9*2=100.8m/s

Then, using the second equation of motion to calculate the distance:

d=v_{i}  t+\frac{1}{2}at^2

d=100.8*2+\frac{1}{2}*7.9*(2)^2=217.4m

An object of mass m is moving down an inclined plane that makes an angle they a with the horizontal and has height h. Which of t
Lera25 [3.4K]
The answer should be B. According to the conservation of energy, the energy cannot be created nor destroyed, but it can be transformed. Since the object is moving down, that means its height is decreasing, causing the potential energy decreasing and the kinetic energy  increasing to fulfill the conservation law.

What happens to the density of a given substance if you increase the amount of the substance that you have?
Amanda [17]
Have you ever looked up the density of a substance ?  You ought to try it.  Go ahead. Pick a substance, then go online or open up an actual book and find its density.  You will never see any particular volume mentioned along with the density . . . because it doesn't matter.  The whole idea of density is that it describes the substance, no matter how much or how little you have of it.  The density of a tiny drop of water under a microscope is the same as the density of a supertanker-ful of water.
