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 69.5-kg person throws a 0.0475-kg snowball forward with a ground speed of 31.5 m/s. A second person, with a mass of 57.5 kg, c
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

- After throwing the snow, velocity of the thrower is 2.33 m/s

- the velocity of the receiver is 0.026 m/s

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Using conservation of momentum,

Initial thrower has a momentum of mv; m_{totalv

(69.5 kg + 0.0475 kg) × 2.35 m/s = 163.4366 kg.m/s

Now, When he throws it at 31.5 m/s, these constitutes a momentum of;

(0.0475 kg )(31.5 m/s) = 1.49625 kg.m/s

hence his momentum now is: 163.4366 - 1.49625 = 161.94035 kg.m/s

To get his velocity, we say;

161.94035 = mv

{ he lost weight of the snow ball so, m = 69.5 kg )

161.94035 = 69.5 × v

v = 161.94035 / 69.5

v = 2.33 m/s

Therefore, After throwing the snow, velocity of the thrower is 2.33 m/s

Next is the Receiver;

the receiver will gain momentum of 1.49625 kg.m/s

he has no momentum initially and after he catches the snow ball;

1.49625 kg.m/s = mv

1.49625 kg.m/s = ( 57.5 kg +  0.0475 kg ) × v

1.49625 kg.m/s = 57.5475 kg × v

v = ( 1.49625 kg.m/s ) / 57.5475 kg

v = 0.026 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the receiver is 0.026 m/s

Darwin is sitting on top of a 10 m tree and decided to drop a 3 kg baseball to the ground. What is the velocity when the PE turn
Nimfa-mama [501]

The AMOUNT of energy the ball has doesn't change. It's 294 joules in Darwin's hand, and it's still 294 joules when the ball hits the ground.  It's all PE before he let's it go, and it steadily changes from PE to KE all the way down.

It BEGINS to turn into KE immediately, when Darwin lets go of the ball, and it starts to fall.

More and more PE turns into KE as the ball falls, all the way down.

When the ball hits the ground, it has no more PE left. All of its mechanical energy is then KE.

An object of mass m travels along the parabola yequalsx squared with a constant speed of 5 ​units/sec. What is the force on the
Dmitriy789 [7]

Explanation:

The object is moving along the parabola y = x² and is at the point (√2, 2).  Because the object is changing directions, it has a centripetal acceleration towards the center of the circle of curvature.

First, we need to find the radius of curvature.  This is given by the equation:

R = [1 + (y')²]^(³/₂) / |y"|

y' = 2x and y" = 2:

R = [1 + (2x)²]^(³/₂) / |2|

R = (1 + 4x²)^(³/₂) / 2

At x = √2:

R = (1 + 4(√2)²)^(³/₂) / 2

R = (9)^(³/₂) / 2

R = 27 / 2

R = 13.5

So the centripetal force is:

F = m v² / r

F = m (5)² / 13.5

F = 1.85 m

olga2289 [7]
Force = mass * acceleration
F = ma

Given m = 10 kg, F = 30 N;

F = ma
30 = 10a

Solving for a:
a = 3 m/s^2

The acceleration is 3 meters per second squared.

Consider two parallel plate capacitors. The plates on Capacitor B have half the area as the plates on Capacitor A, and the plate
vichka [17]

Answer:

CB = 4.45 x 10⁻⁹ F = 4.45 nF

Explanation:

The capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor is given by the following formula:

C = ε₀A/d

where,

C = Capacitance

ε₀ = Permeability of free space

A = Area of plates

d = Distance between plates

FOR CAPACITOR A:

C = CA = 17.8 nF = 17.8 x 10⁻⁹ F

A = A₁

d = d₁

Therefore,

CA = ε₀A₁/d₁ = 17.8 x 10⁻⁹ F   ----------------- equation 1

FOR CAPACITOR B:

C = CB = ?

A = A₁/2

d = 2 d₁

Therefore,

CB = ε₀(A₁/2)/2d₁

CB = (1/4)(ε₀A₁/d₁)

using equation 1:

CB = (1/4)(17.8 X 10⁻⁹ F)

<u>CB = 4.45 x 10⁻⁹ F = 4.45 nF</u>
