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.

As sea floor spreading occurs, the oceanic plate _______.

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Becomes older

Explanation:

As sea floor spreading occurs at divergent margins, the oceanic plate becomes older. Younger plate margin are the closest to the margin whereas the older plates bushes backward away from the spreading centers.

The idea that the sea floor spreads was postulated by Harry Hess shortly after the second world war around the 1960's.
At divergent margins new crust materials from the mantle are brought to the surface.
They crystallize and settle at the flanks of plate margins.
Older ones are pushed backward away from the margin into far away subduction zones.

An 84.0 kg sprinter starts a race with an acceleration of 1.76 m/s2. If the sprinter accelerates at that rate for 11 m, and then

gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

t=17.838s

Explanation:

The displacement is divided in two sections, the first is a section with constant acceleration, and the second one with constant velocity. Let's consider the first:

The acceleration is, by definition:

$a=\frac{dv}{dt}=1.76$

So, the velocity can be obtained by integrating this expression:

$v=1.76t$

The velocity is, by definition: $v=\frac{dx}{dt}$ , so

$dx=1.76tdt\\x=1.76\frac{t^{2}}{2}$ .

Do x=11 in order to find the time spent.

$11=1.76\frac{t^2}{2}\\ t^2=\frac{2*11}{76} \\t=\sqrt{12.5}=3.5355s$

At this time the velocity is: $v=1.76t=1.76*3.5355s=6.2225\frac{m}{s}$

This velocity remains constant in the section 2, so for that section the movement equation is:

$x=v*t\\t=\frac{x}{v}$

The left distance is 89 meters, and the velocity is $6.2225\frac{m}{s}$ , so:

$t=\frac{89}{6.2225}=14.303s$

So, the total time is 14.303+3.5355s=17.838s

Imagine two billiard balls on a pool table. Ball A has a mass of 2 kilograms and ball B has a mass of 3 kilograms. The initial v

ratelena [41]

1. The balls move to the opposite direction but the same speed. This represents Newton's third law of motion.
2. The total momentum before and after the collision stays constant or is conserved.
3. If the masses were the same, the velocities of both balls after the collision would exchange.
4 and 5. Use momentum balance to solve for the final velocities.
