Gravity is one of the significant forces of the universe. It is the force that draws other objects closer to the center of another object. The bigger the object, the higher its force of gravity and nearby objects are accelerated towards the big mass.

It is this force of gravity that keeps the planets in the solar system orbiting around the sun. The suns gravitational pull is stronger than those of the planets hence pulls the planets on their orbits around the star. Gravity also played a part in the formation of the planets. Gravity caused the condensation of dust and rocks into a mass that continually attracted more matter as it gained mass (due to gaining more associated gravitational pull).

<span>7.7 m/s First, determine the acceleration you subject the sled to. You have a mass of 15 kg being subjected to a force of 180 N, so 180 N / 15 kg = 180 (kg m)/s^2 / 15 kg = 12 m/s^2 Now determine how long you pushed it. For constant acceleration the equation is d = 0.5 A T^2 Substitute the known values getting, 2.5 m = 0.5 12 m/s^2 T^2 2.5 m = 6 m/s^2 T^2 Solve for T 2.5 m = 6 m/s^2 T^2 0.41667 s^2 = T^2 0.645497224 s = T Now to get the velocity, multiply the time by the acceleration, giving 0.645497224 s * 12 m/s^2 = 7.745966692 m/s After rounding to 2 significant figures, you get 7.7 m/s</span>

Sonar is used to map the ocean floor. if an ultrasonic signal is received 3.3 s after it is emitted, how deep is the ocean floor
Goryan [66]
The speed of sound in fresh water is 1482m/s. 
It says ocean floor, so we should a little bit more accurate, and use the fact that the speed of sound in salt water (that has no bubbles) is 1560m/s. 
speed = distance / time 
Therefore Distance = speed x time = 1560 x 3.3 = 5158m 
The sonar wave is sent out by the boat, reflected off the seafloor, and then is received back at the boat on the surface. So the distance 5148m is the distance from the boat to the sea bottom and then back up to the boat again. 
So the depth of the water is half this distance Depth of water = 5148/2=2574m
