Answer:

Gravity

Explanation:

gravity from Latin gravitas, meaning 'weight', or gravitation, is a natural phenomenon by which all things with mass or energy—including planets, stars, galaxies, and even light—are brought toward (or gravitate toward) one another. On Earth, gravity gives weight to physical objects, and the Moon's gravity causes the ocean tides. The gravitational attraction of the original gaseous matter present in the Universe caused it to begin coalescing, forming stars—and for the stars to group together into galaxies—so gravity is responsible for many of the large-scale structures in the Universe. Gravity has an infinite range, although its effects become increasingly weaker as objects get further away.

What might cause a theory to change over time?
Olin [163]

Answer:

A theory does not change into a scientific law with the accumulation of new or better evidence. A theory will always remain a theory

Explanation:

theories and laws could potentially be falsified by countervailing evidence. Theories and laws are also distinct from hypotheses.

A particle with a charge of 2e moves between two points which have a potential difference of 75V. What is the change in potentia
Sonbull [250]
Electric potential energy is defined as Ep=Q*V where Q is the magnitude of the charge and V is the potential difference. So when a charge moves between the points that have a potential difference, it's energy changes. 

In our case: 

Q=2e=2*(-1.6*10^-19) C
V=75 V

Ep=(-3.2*10^-19)*75

Ep=-2.4*10^-17 J

The change in potential energy of the charge is -2.4*10^-17 J

A 1kg ball is dropped (from rest) 100m onto a spring with spring constant 125N/m. How much does the spring compress?
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

3.95 m

Explanation:

m = 1 kg, h = 100 m, k = 125 N/m

Let the spring is compressed by y.

Use the conservation of energy

potential energy of the mass is equal to the energy stored in the spring

m x g x h = 1/2 x ky^2

1 x 9.8 x 100 = 0.5 x 125 x y^2

y^2 = 15.68

y = 3.95 m

Definition of distance in physics
solniwko [45]

Answer:

Distance is a scalar quantity that refers to "how much ground an object has covered" during its motion. Displacement is a vector quantity that refers to "how far out of place an object is"; it is the object's overall change in position.

In lab, your instructor generates a standing wave using a thin string of length L = 1.65 m fixed at both ends. You are told that
erik [133]

Answer:

On the standing waves on a string, the first antinode is one-fourth of a wavelength away from the end. This means

\frac{\lambda}{4} = 0.275~m\\\lambda = 1.1~m

This means that the relation between the wavelength and the length of the string is

3\lambda/2 = L

By definition, this standing wave is at the third harmonic, n = 3.

Furthermore, the standing wave equation is as follows:

y(x,t) = (A\sin(kx))\sin(\omega t) = A\sin(\frac{\omega}{v}x)\sin(\omega t) = A\sin(\frac{2\pi f}{v}x)\sin(2\pi ft) = A\sin(\frac{2\pi}{\lambda}x)\sin(\frac{2\pi v}{\lambda}t) = (2.45\times 10^{-3})\sin(5.7x)\sin(59.94t)

The bead is placed on x = 0.138 m. The maximum velocity is where the derivative of the velocity function equals to zero.

v_y(x,t) = \frac{dy(x,t)}{dt} = \omega A\sin(kx)\cos(\omega t)\\a_y(x,t) = \frac{dv(x,t)}{dt} = -\omega^2A\sin(kx)\sin(\omega t)

a_y(x,t) = -(59.94)^2(2.45\times 10^{-3})\sin((5.7)(0.138))\sin(59.94t) = 0

For this equation to be equal to zero, sin(59.94t) = 0. So,

59.94t = \pi\\t = \pi/59.94 = 0.0524~s

This is the time when the velocity is maximum. So, the maximum velocity can be found by plugging this time into the velocity function:

v_y(x=0.138,t=0.0524) = (59.94)(2.45\times 10^{-3})\sin((5.7)(0.138))\cos((59.94)(0.0524)) = 0.002~m/s
