Why do cats have tails?

Physics

tester [92]3 years ago
3 0
Cats have tails to help their balance. Similar to the stick a trapeze/high wire walker uses.

The tail helps to serve as a counterbalance when cats walk on narrow spaces such as fences or shelves. The tail also aids in balance when a cat is running after or jumping on prey.

Just so you know....Cats can live without tails.

An object accelerates 13.0 m/s2 when a force of 4.4 newtons is applied to it. What is the
velikii [3]

Answer:

0.3384 N

Explanation:

Acceleration = 13 m/s^2

Force = 4.4 N

Force = mass * acceleration

mass = force / acceleration

mass = 4.4 / 13

mass = 0.3384 N

According to Coulomb's law, what happens to the attraction of two oppositely charged objects as their distance of separation inc
NARA [144]

Answer:

Option B. Decreases

Explanation:

Coulomb's law states that:

F = Kq₁q₂ / r²

Where:

F => is the force of attraction between two charges

K => is the electrical constant.

q₁ and q₂ => are the two charges

r => is the distance apart.

From the formula:

F = Kq₁q₂ / r²

The force of attraction (F) is inversely proportional to the square of their separating distance (r).

This implies that as the distance between them increase, the force of attraction between the two charges will decrease and as the distance between two charges decrease, the force of attraction between them will increase.

Considering the question given above and the illustration given above, the force of attraction will decrease as their distance of separation increases.

Option B gives the right answer to the question.

Find the ratio of the gravitational force between two planets if the masses of both planets are quadrupled but the distance betw
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

The ratio of the new force over the original force is 16

Explanation:

Recall the formula for the gravitational force between two masses M1 and M2 separated a distance D:

F_G=G\,\frac{M_1\,\,M_2}{D^2}

So now, if the masses M1 and M2 are quadrupled and the distance stays the same, the new force becomes:

F'_G=G\,\frac{4M_1\,\,4M_2}{D^2}=G\,\frac{16\,\,M_1\,\,M_2}{D^2}=16\,\,G\,\frac{M_1\,\,M_2}{D^2}= 16\,\,F_G

which is 16 times the original force.

So the ratio of the new force over the original force is 16
