Answer:

Every object in space exerts a gravitational pull on every other.

Explanation:

gravity influences the paths taken by everything traveling through space. It is the glue that holds together entire galaxies. It keeps planets in orbit. It can also cause life-destroying asteroids to crash into planets.

An apparatus like the one Cavendish used to ﬁnd G has large lead balls that are 5.2 kg in mass and small ones that are 0.046 kg.

Ber [7]

Answer:

The magnitude of gravitational force between two masses is $4.91\times 10^{-9}\ N$ .

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of first lead ball, $m_1=5.2\ kg$

Mass of the other lead ball, $m_2=0.046\ kg$

The center of a large ball is separated by 0.057 m from the center of a small ball, r = 0.057 m

We need to find the magnitude of the gravitational force between the masses. It is given by the formula of the gravitational force. It is given by :

$F=G\dfrac{m_1m_2}{r^2}\\\\F=6.67259\times 10^{-11}\times \dfrac{5.2\times 0.046}{(0.057)^2}\\\\F=4.91\times 10^{-9}\ N$

So, the magnitude of gravitational force between two masses is $4.91\times 10^{-9}\ N$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

A car moves in a straight line at 22.0 m/s for 10.0miles, then at 30.0 m/s for another 10.0miles. Calculate the car’s average sp

maw [93]

Answer: 25.38 m/s

Explanation:

We have a straight line where the car travels a total distance $D$ , which is divided into two segments $d=10 miles$ :

$D=d+d=2d$ (1)

Where $d=10mi \frac{1609.34 m}{1 mi}=16093.4 m$

On the other hand, we know speed is defined as:

$S=\frac{d}{t}$ (2)

Where $t$ is the time, which can be isolated from (2):

$t=\frac{d}{S}$ (3)

Now, for the first segment $d=16093.4 m$ the car has a speed $S_{1}=22m/s$ , using equation (3):

$t_{1}=\frac{d}{S_{1}}$ (4)

$t_{1}=\frac{16093.4 m}{22m/s}$ (5)

$t_{1}=731.518 s$ (6) This is the time it takes to travel the first segment

For the second segment $d=16093.4 m$ the car has a speed $S_{1}=30m/s$ , hence:

$t_{2}=\frac{d}{S_{2}}$ (7)

$t_{2}=\frac{16093.4 m}{30m/s}$ (8)

$t_{2}=536.44 s$ (9) This is the time it takes to travel the secons segment

Having these values we can calculate the car's average speed $S_{ave}$ :

$S_{ave}=\frac{d + d}{t_{1} + t_{2}}=\frac{2d}{t_{1} + t_{2}}$ (10)

$S_{ave}=\frac{2(16093.4 m)}{731.518 s +536.44 s}$ (11)

Finally:

$S_{ave}=25.38 m/s$

If Karen rode her bicycle 5 km to school in 30 minutes, what was her average speed? Give your answers in km/h.

Doss [256]

Answer:

10 km/h

Explanation:

Before calculating the average speed, we need to convert the time taken for the trip from minutes to hours. Since 1 hour cointains 60 minutes, we have:

$1 h: 60 min = t : 30 min\\t=\frac{1 h \cdot 30 min}{60 min}=0.5 h$
