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).

In a 400-m relay race the anchorman (the person who runs the last 100 m) for team A can run 100 m in 9.8 s. His rival, the ancho
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

largest lead = 3 m

Explanation:

Basically, this problem is about what is the largest possible distance anchorman for team B can have over the anchorman for team A when the final leg started that anchorman for team A won the race. This show that anchorman for team A must have higher velocity than anchorman for team B to won the race as at the starting of final leg team B runner leads the team A runner.

So, first we need to calculate the velocities of both the anchorman  

given data:

Distance = d = 100 m

Time arrival for A = 9.8 s

Time arrival for B = 10.1 s

Velocity of anchorman A = D / Time arrival for A

=100/ 9.8 = 10.2 m/s

Velocity of anchorman B = D / Time arrival for B

=100/10.1 = 9.9 m/s

As speed of anchorman A is greater than anchorman B. So, anchorman A complete the race first than anchorman B. So, anchorman B covered lower distance than anchorman A. So to calculate the covered distance during time 9.8 s for B runner, we use

d = vt

= 9.9 x 9.8 = 97 m  

So, during the same time interval, anchorman A covered 100 m distance which is greater than anchorman B distance which is 97 m.

largest lead = 100 - 97 = 3 m

So if his lead no more than 3 m anchorman A win the race.

The number of confirmed exoplanets is (a) less than 10; (b) roughly 50; (c) more than 500; (d) more than 5000.
Bad White [126]

Answer:

(c) more than 500

Explanation:

Until 2019, more than 3000 planetary systems have been discovered that contain more than 4000 exoplanets, since some of these systems contain multiple planets. Most known extrasolar planets are gas giants equal to or more massive than the planet Jupiter, with orbits very close to its star.

A negatively charged rod is placed near two neutral metal spheres, as shown below. Which statements describe the charging method
grin007 [14]
<h3>Answer;</h3>
  • <em>The spheres develop opposite charges. </em>
  • <em>Electrons move from Sphere A to Sphere B. </em>
  • <em>The spheres are charged through induction.</em>
<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <u><em>When a negatively charged rod is placed near two neutral metal spheres, the spheres will develop opposite charges, because the neutral metal spheres have both negative and positive charges. </em></u>From the basic law of electrostatics unlike charges attracts and like charges repel.
  • Thus, <em><u>the sphere will develop opposite charges, electrons will move from Sphere A to sphere B,</u></em> hence we say that the spheres will be charged by induction such that sphere A will acquire a positive charge while sphere B will acquire negative charge.
