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

Reil [10]

Answer:

i = 61 degree

Explanation:

Given,

\alpha =45^{o}

Now, by the snell's law

sin\theta_c=\frac{1}{n}\\sin\theta_c=\frac{1}{2.450}\\\theta_c=24.09^o

Now,

Sin i / sin r = n 2 / n 1

sin i / sin r (45 - 24.09) = 2.45 / 1

i = 60.97 degree

If 478 watts of power are used in 14 seconds,how much work was done
zepelin [54]

Answer:

6692J

Explanation:

Power is defined as the rate at which work is being done.

So,

    Power  = \frac{workdone}{time }  

  Work done  = Power x time

Given parameters:

Power  = 478watts

Time  = 14s

So;

 Work done  = 478 x 14  = 6692J

An injured monkey sits perched on a tree branch 9 m above the ground, while a wildlife veterinarian is kneeling down in the bush
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

The hunter should aim directly at the perched monkey because the tranquilizer dart will fall away from the line sight at the same rate that the monkey falls from its perch.

Tan theta = 9 / 90 = .1      so theta = 5.71 deg

The time for the monkey to reach the ground is

t = (2 h / g)^1/2 = (18 / 9.8)^1/2 = 1.36 sec

So the horizontal speed of the dart must be at least

Vx = 90 m / 1.36 sec = 66.4 m/s

Vx = V cos theta

V = 66.4 m/s / cos 5.71 = 66.7 m/s

Which illustration represent the substance at a higher temperature? Explain.
mamaluj [8]

The addition of heat energy to a system always causes the temperature of that system to increase. This is always true because you are adding heat of a substance to increase  its temperature. For example, you are going to drink a cup of coffee. And you wanted it hot to boost your attention. So you have to use hot water. In order for your water to become hot or warm, you need boil it in a kettle. Note that you are going to use an electric stove. The electric stove gets it energy from the source giving it a hotter temperature to the water in the kettle. You are applying heat energy to warm the water. So, the statement is true.
