Answer:

Since the gravitational force is directly proportional to the mass of both interacting objects, more massive objects will attract each other with a greater gravitational force. So as the mass of either object increases, the force of gravitational attraction between them also increases.

Explanation:

i did some research and this is what I got. hope it helps.

Mass is the amount of matter present in an object. All objects in the universe attract every other object in the universe. This force is called the gravitational force or gravity. This force is proportional to the product of the masses of the two objects and inversely proportional to the square of distance between them.

More is the mass, more is the gravitational force or gravity

An object initially at rest experiences an acceleration of 0.281 m/s2 to the South for a time of 5.44 seconds. It then increases

andre [41]

Answer:

12.0 meters

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 0 m/s

a₁ = 0.281 m/s²

t₁ = 5.44 s

a₂ = 1.43 m/s²

t₂ = 2.42 s

Find: x

First, find the velocity reached at the end of the first acceleration.

v = at + v₀

v = (0.281 m/s²) (5.44 s) + 0 m/s

v = 1.53 m/s

Next, find the position reached at the end of the first acceleration.

x = x₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²

x = 0 m + (0 m/s) (5.44 s) + ½ (0.281 m/s²) (5.44 s)²

x = 4.16 m

Finally, find the position reached at the end of the second acceleration.

x = x₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²

x = 4.16 m + (1.53 m/s) (2.42 s) + ½ (1.43 m/s²) (2.42 s)²

x = 12.0 m

A high-jumper, having just cleared the bar, lands on an air mattress and comes to rest. Had she landed directly on the hard grou

Hoochie [10]

Answer:

e. the air mattress exerts the same impulse, but a smaller net avg force, on the high-jumper than hard-ground.

Explanation:

This is according to the Newton's second law and energy conservation that the force exerted by the hard-ground is more than the force exerted by the mattress.

The hard ground stops the moving mass by its sudden reaction in the opposite direction of impact force whereas the mattress takes a longer time to stop the motion of same mass in a longer time leading to lesser average reaction force.

Mathematical expression for the Newton's second law of motion is given as:
