Why is Newton's law of gravitation called universal law?​

Physics
1 answer:
NeX [460]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Newtons law of gravitation is called the universal law of gravitation because it is applicable for all masses at all distances, independent of the medium.

Explanation:

\sf{}

For two masses m1 and m2 placed at a distance d, the gravitational force between them will always be given by: Fg=Gd2m1m2. That's why it is a "universal" law.

A 5.50-kg object is hung from the bottom end of a vertical spring fastened to an overhead beam. The object is set into vertical
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

17.71N/m

Explanation:

The period of the spring is expressed according to the expression;

T = 2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} } \\

m is the mass of the object

k is the force constant

Given

m = 5.50kg

T = 3.50s

Substitute into the formula;

T = 2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} } \\3.5 = 2 (3.14) \sqrt{\frac{5.5}{k} } \\3.5 = 6.28 \sqrt{\frac{5.5}{k} } \\\frac{3.5}{6.28} =  \sqrt{\frac{5.5}{k} } \\0.557 = \sqrt{\frac{5.5}{k} } \\square \ both \ sides\\0.557^2 = (\sqrt{\frac{5.5}{k} })^2 \\0.3106 = \frac{5,5}{k}\\k = \frac{5.5}{0.3106}\\k =  17.71N/m

Hence the force constant of the spring is 17.71N/m

Describe a situation in which an electron will be affected by an external electric field but will not be affected by an external
irina [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Situations in which an electron will be affected by an external electric field but will not be affected by an external magnetic field

a ) When an electron is stationary in the electric field and magnetic field , he will be affected by electric field but not by magnetic field. Magnetic field can exert force only on mobile charges.

b ) When the electron is moving parallel to electric field and magnetic field . In this case also electric field will  exert force on electron but magnetic field field will not exert force on electrons . Magnetic field can exert force only on the perpendicular component of the velocity of charged particles.

Situations when electron is affected by an external magnetic field but not by an external electric field

There is no such situation in which electric field will not affect an electron . It will always affect an electron .

2. Lenses such as those in microscopes and telescopes depend on which property of<br><br> light?
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

The eyepiece comprises a converging lens that is a magnifying lens. The lens has a short focal length,

This lens magnifies this image.

Explanation:

In lenses such as those in microscopes and telescopes, the objective forms an image with the following features:

1. Image is real

2. Image is diminished in size

3. Also, the image formed is upside-down.

The eyepiece comprises a converging lens that is a magnifying lens. The lens has a short focal length,

This lens magnifies this image.

A ball is thrown from ground level so as to just clear wall 4m height at distance 4m from wall and falls 14 m from wall . Veloci
kolbaska11 [484]
Ok, this is a 2d kinematics problem,  the falls 14 m part is confusing, I think it means in the x direction, but you don't need it anyway.

If we know it goes 4m into the air, we know  d = 4m (height of wall), we also know the acceleration a=-9.8m/s^2 (because gravity) and that the vertical velocity when it just clears the wall will be 0 m/s, which we'll call our final velocity (Vf). Using Vf^2 = Vi^2 +2a*d, we can solve this for Vi and drop Vf because it's zero to get: Vi = sqrt(-2ad), plug in numbers (don't forget a is negative) and you get 8.85 m/s in the vertical direction. The x-direction velocity requires that we solve the y-direction for time, using Vf= Vi + at, we solve for t, getting t= -Vi/a, plug in numbers t= -8.85/-9.8 = 0.9 s. Now we can use the simple v = d/t (because x-direction has no acceleration (a=0)), and plug in the distance to the wall and the time it takes to get there v = (4/.9) = 4.444 m/s, this is the velocity in the x direction, we use Pythagoras' theorem to find the total velocity, Vtotal = sqrt(Vx^2 + Vy^2), so Vtotal = sqrt(8.85^2+4.444^2) = 9.9m/s. Yay physics!
