What are the importance of gravitation

Physics

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>

kaheart [24]

Answer:

You are a guest magician in a circus. One of your tricks is to place a football on an inclined plane without the football rolling over is explained below in details.

Explanation:

spinning ball halts after traveling some range due to friction energy act different direction of movement of the ball. you can observe in the figure.

Let any rolling ball of mass (m ) is traveling with velocity v ,

common effect on ball (N) = mg

because of motion, friction energy develops on the contact exterior and begins to resist the movement of the rolling ball.

hence,

fr = uN = umg act on communicating exterior, so, after any time due to friction energy rolling ball gets to rest.

A student walks (2.9±0.1)m, stops and then walks another (3.9 ±0.2)m in the same directionWith the given uncertainties, what is
Anika [276]

Answer:

The smallest distance the student that the student could be possibly be from the starting point is 6.5 meters.

Explanation:

For 2 quantities A and B represented as

A\pm \Delta A and B\pm \Delta B

The sum is represented as

Sum=(A+B)\pm (\Delta A+\Delta B)

For the the values given to us the sum is calculated as

Sum=(2.9+3.9)\pm (0.1+0.2)

Sum=6.8\pm 0.3

Now the since the uncertainity inthe sum is \pm 0.3

The closest possible distance at which the student can be is obtained by taking the negative sign in the uncertainity

Thus closest distance equals 6.8-0.3=6.5meters

Suppose two wagons, one with twice as much mass as the other, fly apart when a compressed spring that joins them is released. Th
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

The heavier wagon rolls 1/2 as fast as the lighter wagon.

Explanation:

When the compressed spring that joins them is released then the force acts on both wagons will be of equal magnitude but in the opposite direction. However as the mass of one wagon is twice that of other, so the acceleration  will become half of the heavier wagon in comparison with lighter one.
