Answer:

Gravity is very important to us. We could not live on Earth without it. The sun's gravity keeps Earth in orbit around it, keeping us at a comfortable distance to enjoy the sun's light and warmth. It holds down our atmosphere and the air we need to breathe.

Answer:

  1. Newton's universal law of gravitation explains the attractive force between any two objects which have mass.
  2. It explains how we are able to stand on earth, why a body thrown up falls to the ground, why planets revolve around the sun and why the moon revolves around the earth, and so on.
  3. This law says that as the distance between two objects increases their force of attraction decreases. This explains why we are not pulled towards a distant star even though it is more massive than the Earth.
  4. This law leads to the derivation of an expresion for the acceleration due to gravity...
  • With the help of gravitation, we can understand the force experience by various planets , stars etc. with each other.
  • This law makes us understand why the planets revolve around the sun and why satellite revolve around the planets.
  • Gravitation explains us how the planets are held by the sun and why don't they fall on it.
  • It can also explain how tides are formed on earth. (Tides are due to the gravitational forces of the sun and the moon).

Example:

Astronauts reach a distant planet and find it takes eight times as much force to lift objects there than it does on Earth. What is the acceleration due to gravity on this planet?

On this planet the force of gravity is eight times larger. Since the masses of objects are a fundamental property of those objects, they cannot change, that means the value of ​g​ must be eight times larger as well:

8F_{grav}=m(8g)8F

 =m(8g)

<u>The value of ​g​ on Earth is 9.8 m/s2, so 8 × 9.8 m/s2 = 78.4 m/s2.</u>

Determine the kinetic energy of a 10 Kg roller coaster car that is moving with a speed of 2m/s.
skelet666 [1.2K]

In this question all required information's are already provided. Based on these details the answer to the question can be easily determined. Let us now write down all the information's that are already given.

Mass of the roller coaster = 1000 kg

Velocity of the roller coaster = 20.0 m/s

We know the formula for finding the kinetic energy is

Kinetic energy = 0.5 * mass * (velocity) ^2

                      = 0.5 * 1000 * (20)^2

                      = 0.5 * 1000 * 400

                      = 200000 Joules

So the Kinetic energy of the roller coaster is 200000 joules.

i hope this helps you friend good luck on your quiz or lesson

Question 1(Multiple Choice Worth 4 points) The star named Canopus has a declination of approximately –52°. Which of these statem
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

It is 52° below the celestial equator.

Explanation:

The declination is the angle in degrees measured north (+) or south (-) of the an imaginary line called the celestial equator.

The celestial equator is a projection of the earth's equator on the celestial sphere. imaginary

The star named Canopus has a declination of approximately –52°.

Since the angle is negative, this shows that it is south or below the celestial equator and at 52° south of the celestial equator.

Thus, the star named Caponus is 52° below the celestial equator.

B) A satellite with mass m orbits the Earth at a radius r. A second satellite also with mass m orbits the
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

So, given the eqn Fg=G(m1+m2/r^2) where G is the gravitational constant, m is the mass of the satellite and m2 is the mass of the earth and r is the distance from earth to the satellite, the force of earths gravity should be quartered.

Cause (2r)^2 gets turned into (4r^2) where 4r^2 is compared to r^2

The properties of element 17 are most similar to which of the following elements?
DedPeter [7]

Halogens are highly reactive nonmetal elements in group 17 of the periodic table. ... Halogens are among the most reactive of all elements. They have seven valence electrons, so they are very “eager” to gain one electron to have a full outer energy level.
