The video shows a collapsing cloud of interstellar gas, which is held together by the mutual gravitational attraction of all the

Aleonysh [2.5K]

The overall force of gravity becomes stronger and stronger. This is because the gravity depends on the inverse of the square of the distance:
$F=G \frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}$
and since the distance r between the molecules becomes smaller, the gravity increases more and more.

standing side by side, you and a friend step off a bridge and fall for 1.6s to the water below. your friend goes first, and you

Andrew [12]

(a) The distance will be more than 2.0 meters.

In fact, you starts your fall after your friend has already fallen 2.0 meters. This means that your friend has already accelerated for a while, therefore his velocity will be greater than yours. But this statement will be actually true for the entire fall, since you has some delay, therefore when your friend will hit the water, the separation between you and him will be greater than the initial separation of 2.0 meters.

b) First of all we need to calculate the height of the bridge with respect to the water. We know that you take 1.6 s to fall down, therefore we can use the following equation:

$S=\frac{1}{2}gt^2=\frac{1}{2}(9.81 m/s^2)(1.6s)^2=12.56 m$

We know that your friend will take 1.6 s to falls down. Instead, you start your jump after he has already fallen 2.0 m, therefore after a time given by the equation:

$S=\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

Using S=2.0 m,

$t=\sqrt{\frac{2S}{g}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(2.0 m)}{9.81 m/s^2}}=0.64 s$

So we know that you start your fall 0.64 s after your friend. Therefore, now we can find how much did you fall between the moment you started your fall (0.64 s) and the moment your friend hits the water (1.6 s). Using

$t=1.6 s-0.64 s=0.96 s$

we find

$S=\frac{1}{2}gt^2=\frac{1}{2}(9.81 m/s^2)(0.96 s)^2 =4.52 m$

So, when your friend hits the water, you just covered 4.52 m, while he already covered 12.56 m. Therefore, the separation between you and your friend is more than 2 meters.

A person weighs 60 kg. The area under the foot of the person is 150 cm2. Find the pressure exerted on the ground by the person.

9966 [12]

Answer:

40000 N/m²

Explanation:

Applying,

P = F/A................... Equation 1

Where P = Pressure, F = Force, A = Area.

From the question,

The force(F) exerted by the person's foot is thesame as it's weight.

F = W = mg............ Equation 2

Where m = mass of the person, g = acceleration due to gravity.

Substitute equation 2 into equation 1

P = mg/A................ Equation 3

Given: m = 60 kg, g = 10 m/s², A = 150 cm² = (150/10000) m² = 0.015 m²

Substitute these values into equation 3

P = (60×10)/0.015

P = 600/0.015

P = 40000 N/m²

Assume you have an ice cube and also a small rock that is the same size and shape as the ice cube. Predict what would happen if

Step2247 [10]

Answer: The ice cube would float on top of the water and the rock would sink to the bottom.

Explanation: The ice cube has a smaller density than the rock which allows the ice cube to float but makes the rock sink to the bottom of the glass of water.

Give an equation for kinetic energy<br>(supplement)

Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

The equatiom of kinetic energy is 1/2×m×v² where m represents mass and v is velocity :

$k.e = \frac{1}{2}m {v}^{2}$

The unit for kinetic energy is measured in Joules (J).
