Mass and distance
force /pull of gravity decreases with the increase in separation between the two bodies
the amount of gravity an object possesses is proportional to the mass of that object.
Answer:
the velocity of the boats after the collision is 4.36 m/s.
Explanation:
Given;
mass of fish, m₁ = 800 kg
mass of boat, m₂ = 1400 kg
initial velocity of the fish, u₁ = 12 m/s
initial velocity of the boat, u₂ = 0
let the final velocity of the fish-boat after collision = v
Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum for inelastic collision;
m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = v(m₁ + m₂)
800 x 12 + 1400 x 0 = v(800 + 1400)
9600 = 2200v
v = 9600/2200
v = 4.36 m/s
Therefore, the velocity of the boats after the collision is 4.36 m/s.
Its because the molecules in the solid structures are very close to each other and rigidly packed, thus due to this quantum structure they have pretty awesome speed of sound in them
Water is a slow conductor of heat. Land absorbs heat quicker, so the sand next to the lake will heat up quicker than water.
Answer:
Only a decreasing gravitational force that acts downward
Explanation:
The gravitational force is the gravitational pull which attract a mass of smaller size by the mass of a bigger size. It is the force which attract two masses close to each other.
In the context, when a ball is tossed up from the surface of an asteroid that have no atmosphere, the ball rises up and then falls back to the surface of the asteroid. The ball falls back because the gravitational pull of the asteroid pulls back the ball to its surface. Thus a decreasing gravitational force acts on the ball in the downward direction while the ball is in its way up.
