Answer:

Mass and thus force depends on the reference frame chosen

Explanation:

This can be explained as Newton's law of gravity provides action which are instantaneous at a distance and involves the evaluation of all the quantities at present time or at the instant they occur.

If the body undergoes a change in its mass distribution there will be an immediate change in its gravitational force without any lag.

Now, if we talk about special relativity, it would be absurd to say that an information can travel faster than light. The effect is in synchronization with the cause in one reference frame where the effect occurs after the cause for some observer in some other reference frame.

In order to observe Newton's law of gravity all the observer's in different reference frames must observe the same phenomena which could only be possible if time were absolute and in special relativity, time is not absolute.

Therefore, Newton's law of gravity was inconsistent with the Einstein's Special Relativity.

A small rubber ball is launched by a compressed-air cannon from ground level with an initial speed of 17.3 m/s directly upward.
elena-s [515]

Answer:

h=15.27m

Explanation:

Since at maximum height the vertical velocity must be null it's better to use the formula:

v_f^2=v_i^2+2ad

We will use this formula for the vertical direction, choosing the upward direction as the positive one, so we have:

0=v_i^2+2ah

or

h=-\frac{v_i^2}{2a}

which for our values is:

h=-\frac{(17.3m/s)^2}{2(-9.8m/s^2)}=15.27m

A football player runs 20 meters North of a football field, and then 15 meters East. The total motion lasted 15 seconds. What wa
vlada-n [284]
Given:
1st run: 20 meters North
2nd run: 15 meters East
time: 15 seconds

Average speed = total distance covered / total time taken
Ave. Speed = (20m + 15m) / 15s
Ave. Speed = 35m / 15s
Ave. Speed = 2 1/3  meters per second

Liono4ka [1.6K]
Generally, rings form from moons, asteroids, or comets that have disintegrated due to a collision or because they got too close to their planet (Roche Limit). ... Most of the debris, however, will not have enough energy to overcome the planet's gravity and will remain in orbit around the planet.
