Answer:

The mass of the objects

Distance between the objects

Explanation:

The two factors that determines the amount of gravitational force between two objects is the mass of the objects and the distance between them.

Gravitational force of attraction is directly proportional to the product of the masses of the two objects and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. This is the postulate of the newton's law of universal gravitation.

Mathematically:

F = $\frac{Gm_{1}m_{2} }{r^{2} }$

m is the mass

r is the distance

G is the universal gravitation constant

What is buoyant force

Xelga [282]

Answer:

When an object is immersed in water. it is pulled downwards due to gravitational pull of earth. Water exerts upward force on the object. This makes object rise up. This upward force is called buoyancy or upthrust.

A rock is thrown vertically upward with a speed of 18.0 m/s from the roof of a building that is 50.0 m above the ground. Assume

Andreyy89

Answer:

(a) 5.7 s

(b) 39 m/s

Explanation:

(a) u = 18 m/s

At the maximum height, the final velocity of ball is zero. lte teh time taken by the ball to go from 50 m height to maximum height is t.

use first equation of motion.

v = u + g t

0 = 18 - 10 x t

t = 1.8 s

Let the maximum height attained by the ball when it thrown from 50 m height is h'.

Use third equation of motion

v^2 = u^2 + 2 g h'

0 = 18^2 - 2 x 10 x h'

h' = 16.2 m

Total height from the ground H = h + h' = 50 + 16.2 = 76.2 m

Let t' be the time taken by the ball to hit the ground as it falls from maximum height.

use third equation of motion

H = ut + 1/2 x g t'^2

76.2 = 0 + 1/2 x 10 x t'^2

t' = 3.9 s

Total time taken by the ball to hit the ground = T = t + t' = 1.8 + 3.9 = 5.7 s

(b) Let v be the velocity with which the ball strikes the ground.

v^2 = u^2 + 2 g H

v^2 = 0 + 2 x 10 x 76.2

v = 39 m/s

For a certain ideal Carnot engine, the hot reservoir is 35°C higher than the cold reservoir. If this engine is to have an effici

lord [1]

Answer:

Temperature of the hot reservoir is 1540K

Explanation:

$E= 1- \frac{T_{c}}[tex]{T_h}=308+{T_c}\\Efficiency of a carnot engine is given by the aboveTc=temperature of the cold reservoirTh= temperature of the hot reservoirK=273+ 35 (convert 35°C to kelvin)K=308k{T_h}={T_c}+308-----------------------(equation 1)20%=1-{T_c}/{T_h}$

0.2=({T_c}+308-{T_c})/{T_c}+308

.2({T_c}+61.6=308

0.2{T_c}=246.4

{T_c}=1232

recall from equation 1

{T_h}=308+1232

{T_h}=1540K

list all the storage forms of energy that forms of energy that you are familiar with. for each storage form, give an example of

ella [17]

Storage form of energy:

Potential energy
Nuclear energy
electrical energy
thermal energy
magnetic energy

Potential energy:

All stationary objects are having potential energy stored in it. This energy can be transferred in form of kinetic energy when it comes in the motion from rest. Example, An object placed at height h having potential energy in it. When it comes in motion from the rest the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy.

Nuclear energy:

Nuclear energy is energy that is stored in nucleus of any element. Example, fusion reaction on sun gives earth solar energy.

Electric energy:

Electrical energy is due to movement of the electrical charges. Example, In elctrical batteries electrical energy is stored.

Thermal energy:

Thermal energy is the internal energy of a substance that is transferred to other substance in the form of heat. Example, on heating water is a beaker stem energy is developed.

Magnetic energy:

Magnetic energy is the potential energy stored in the magnetic field. Example, using magnetic energy electric field is produced according to Faraday's law.

Rita places a 2.5 kg block on a frictionless inclined plane that is 30 degrees above horizontal. She applies a horizontal force,

vitfil [10]

Answer:

14.2

Explanation:

find horizontal force of the weight = 2.5kg x 9.8 Sin30 = 12.3 N

to prevent the sliding she needs to pull horizontally

Fh = 12.3 /Cos 30 =14.2N
