Why is the law of gravity a scientific law

Physics

An object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon another force.

Newton used this to prove that gravity existed. Without an unseen force, we could throw a ball and it would go on forever correct? Unless there was something to pull it down, in this case, gravity.

I really need help please just answer at least one
yuradex [85]

Answer:

9) a = 25 [m/s^2], t = 4 [s]

10) a = 0.0875 [m/s^2], t = 34.3 [s]

11) t = 32 [s]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use kinematics equations. In this way we have:

9)

a)

v_{f}^{2} = v_{i}^{2}-(2*a*x)\\

where:

Vf = final velocity = 0

Vi = initial velocity = 100 [m/s]

a = acceleration [m/s^2]

x = distance = 200 [m]

Note: the final speed is zero, as the car stops completely when it stops. The negative sign of the equation means that the car loses speed or slows down as it stops.

0 = (100)^2 - (2*a*200)

a = 25 [m/s^2]

b)

Now using the following equation:

v_{f} =v_{i} - (a*t)

0 = 100 - (25*t)

t = 4 [s]

10)

a)

To solve this problem we must use kinematics equations. In this way we have:

v_{f} ^{2} =  v_{i} ^{2} + 2*a*(x-x_{o})

Note:  The positive sign of the equation means that the car increases his speed.

5^2 = 2^2 + 2*a*(125 - 5)

25 - 4 = 2*a* (120)

a = 0.0875 [m/s^2]

b)

Now using the following equation:

v_{f}= v_{i}+a*t\\

5 = 2 + 0.0875*t

3 = 0.0875*t

t = 34.3 [s]

11)

To solve this problem we must use kinematics equations. In this way we have:

v_{f} ^{2} =  v_{i} ^{2} + 2*a*(x-x_{o})

10^2 = 2^2 + 2*a*(200 - 10)

100 - 4 = 2*a* (190)

a = 0.25 [m/s^2]

Now using the following equation:

v_{f}= v_{i}+a*t\\

10 = 2 + 0.25*t

8 = 0.25*t

t = 32 [s]

3. What exerts a greater force on the table of 2 kg book lying flat or a 2 kg book on its
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

A book on its side exerts a greater force.

Explanation:

Pressure = Force / Area

Assuming that 1kg = 10N

2kg = 20N

Area of book lying flat = 0.3m × 0.2m

                                     = 0.6m²

Pressure of book lying flat = 20N / 0.6m²

                                            = 30Pa (1 s.f.)

Area of book on its side = 0.2m × 0.05m

                                        = 0.01m²

Pressure of book on its side = 20N / 0.01m²

                                               = 2000Pa (1 s.f.)

Since 2000Pa (1 s.f.) > 30Pa (1 s.f.), a book on its side applies greater pressure than lying flat.

A 6.00-μf parallel-plate capacitor has charges of 40.0 μc on its plates. how much potential energy is stored in this capacitor?
dedylja [7]

Thew energy stored in a capacitor of capacitance C and voltage between the plates V is

E=\frac{1}{2} CV^2=\frac{1}{2C} Q^2.

Substituting numerical value

E=\frac{1}{2*6*10^{-6}} (40*10^{-6})^2\\ E=133.33\; \mu J

Suppose you push a hockey puck of mass m across frictionless ice for a time \Delta t, starting from rest, giving thepuck speed v
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

1. t_2 = 2t_1

2. t_2 = t_1\sqrt{2}

Explanation:

1. According to Newton's law of motion, the puck motion is affected by the acceleration, which is generated by the push force F.

In Newton's 2nd law: F = ma

where m is the mass of the object and a is the resulted acceleration. So in the 2nd experiment, if we double the mass, a would be reduced by half.

a_1 = 2a_2

Since the puck start from rest, in the 1st experiment, to achieve speed of v it would take t time

t = v / a_1

Now that acceleration is halved:

t = \frac{v}{2a_2}

\frac{v}{a_2} = 2t

You would need to push for twice amount of time t_2 = 2t_1

2. The distance traveled by the puck is as the following equation:

d = at^2

So if the acceleration is halved while maintaining the same d:

\frac{d_1}{d_2} = \frac{a_1t_1^2/2}{a_2t_2^2/2}

As d_1 = d_2, then d_1/d_2 = 1. Also a_1 = 2a_2

1 = \frac{2a_2t_1^2}{a_2t_2^2}

t_2^2 = 2t_1^2

t_2 = t_1\sqrt{2}\approx 1.14t_1

So t increased by 1.14
