Answer:

The answer is the law of universal gravitation states that an increase in mass causes an increase in gravitational force

Explanation:

The law of universal gravitation is a physical law that describes the gravitational interaction between different bodies with mass. It was formulated by Isaac Newton and establishes a proportional relationship of the force with which two objects with mass are attracted, that is, the force with which two bodies are attracted had to be proportional to the product of their mass divided by the distance between them squared.

When drinking at a private even, you should assume that drinks will ___.

allochka39001 [22]

When drinking at a private event, you should assume that drinks will be STRONGER THAN NORMAL.

At private events, some hosts have the habit of mixing different drinks together in order to increase the intoxicating power of the drinks. This does not normally happen when one is buying from restaurants or other commercial places. Thus, to be on the safe side, one should always assume that drinks will be stronger when one is attending a private event, this will caution one to drink responsibly in order to avoid intoxication.

A butterfly flies from the top of a tree in the center of a garden to rest on top of a red flower at the garden's edge. The tree

Zielflug [23.3K]

The butterfly takes a vertical perpendicular path equivalent to 9m and travels a horizontal distance of 17m. The net path between the two is equivalent to that of the hypotenuse, so we will apply the Pythagorean theorem.

$x=\sqrt{(9)^2+(0.17)^2}$

$x = 9.0061 \approx 9.0 m$

Therefore the magnitude of the butterfly's displacement is 9m

A person sitting on a pier observes incoming waves that have a sinusoidal form with a distance of 2.5 m between the crests. Of a

Doss [256]

Answer:

Part(a): The frequency is $\bf{0.2~Hz}$ .

Part(b): The speed of the wave is $\bf{0.5~m/s}$ .

Explanation:

Given:

The distance between the crests of the wave, $d = 2.5~m$ .

The time required for the wave to laps against the pier, $t = 5.0~s$

The distance between any two crests of a wave is known as the wavelength of the wave. So the wavelength of the wave is $\lambda = 2.5~m$ .

Also, the time required for the wave for each laps is the time period of oscillation and it is given by $T = 5.0~s$ .

Part(a):

The relation between the frequency and time period is given by

$\nu = \dfrac{1}{T}~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(1)$

Substituting the value of $T$ in equation (1), we have

$\nu &=& \dfrac{1}{5.0~s}\\~~~&=& 0.2~Hz$

Part(b):

The relation between the velocity of a wave to its frequency is given by

$v = \nu \lambda~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(2)$

Substituting the value of $\nu$ and $\lambda$ in equation (2), we have

$v &=& (0.2~Hz)(2.5~m)\\~~~&=& 0.5~m/s$

Two ice skaters, Daniel (mass 70.0 kg) and Rebecca (mass 45.0 kg), are practicing. Daniel stops to tie his shoelace and, while a

wel

Answer:

a) $v=7.32m/s$

b) $\alpha =-35$ º

c) $ΔK=-1094.62J$

Explanation:

From the exercise we know that the collision between Daniel and Rebecca is elastic which means they do not stick together

So, If we analyze the collision we got

$p_{1x}=p_{2x}$

To simplify the problem, lets name D for Daniel and R for Rebecca

a) $p_{D1x}+p_{R1x}=p_{D2x}+p_{R2x}$

Since Daniel's initial velocity is 0

$m_{R}v_{Rx}=m_{D}v_{D2x}+m_{R}v_{R2x}$

$v_{D2x}=\frac{m_{R}*v_{R1x}-m_{R}*v_{R2x}}{m_{D}}$

$v_{D2x}=\frac{(45kg)(14m/s)-(45kg)(8cos(55.1)m/s)}{(70kg)}=6m/s$

Now, lets analyze the movement in the vertical direction

$p_{1y}=p_{2y}$

Since $p_{1y}=0$

$0=m_{D}v_{D2y}+m_{R}v_{R2y}$

$v_{D2y}=-\frac{m_{R}v_{2Ry}}{m_{D}}=-\frac{(45kg)(8sin(55.1)m/s)}{(70kg)}=-4.21m/s$

Now, we can find the magnitude of Daniel's velocity after de collision

$v_{D}=\sqrt{(6m/s)^2+(-4.21m/s)^2}=7.32m/s$

b) To know whats the direction of Daniel's velocity we need to solve the arctan of the angle

$\alpha =tan^{-1}(\frac{v_{y}}{v_{x}})=tan^{-1}(\frac{-4.21}{6})=-35$ º

c) The change in the total kinetic energy is:

ΔK= $K_{2}-K_{1}$

ΔK= $\frac{1}{2}[(45kg)(8m/s)^2+(70kg)(7.32m/s)^2-(45kg)(14m/s)^2]=-1094.62J$

That means that the kinetic energy decreases
