Answer:

So an object with mass is attracted to another object with mass, and the gravitational force is directly proportional to the masses of the two objects, and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the two objects.

If distance were to increase, than the gravitational force would decrease. If mass were to increase, so would the gravitational force.

Explanation:

Lets take gravitational force(F) and mass(m) and distance (r)

now for a body in contact with the surface of the earth, its mass is also considered(m‘),now the mass of the earth(m") is also considered,then the distance from the body to the center of the earth (r).ie it r because its practically the radius of the earth. is also considered

So by using dimensional analysis ....

we get F a m'•m"/r² ,where a is proportional to.

now since F is directly increaseproportional to m ie. F a m, then an increase in mass of the body increases it's gravitational force(and clearly that makes sense because the bigger you are the stronger you get pulled to the ground)

then we also see that F is inversely proportional to r ie.F a 1/r ,then an increase in the distance between the ground an the object decrease it's gravitational force ( meaning as any object on earth keeps on moving away from the ground the gravitational force between the object and the center of the earth is weak, when it reaches space then the force becomes virtually negligible!)

So to answer the second question, we clearly see that doubling the mass of the body increases the gravitational force between it and the earth

and doubling the distance on the other hand will decrease the attraction between the body and the earth

So a body forcefully projected into the air fights against gravity but its easier as it keeps on getting higher, If it has a greater mass like that of a trail or truck , it will not even probably stay in the air for long , unless its projected with a very high velocity

I hope this helps, and you can ask me any question concerning this via the comments platform.

Does the lattice energy of an ionic solid increase or decrease as the charges or sizes of the ions increase?

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

Explanation:

Lattice energy is the energy required to separate one mole of an ionic solid compound into its components gaseous cations and anions.

Due to increase in size of the ions, the lattice energy decreases while the lattice energy increases as the charge of the ions increases.

When the size increase, the distance between the nuclei also increase leading a decrease the force of attraction between the nuclei

A waitperson carrying a tray with a platter on it tips the tray at an angle of 12° below the horizontal. If the gravitational fo

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

The answer is 1.0 N

Explanation:

inclination of tray=12^{\circ}

gravitational Force=5 N

Now this gravitational force has two component i.e.

5\sin \theta is parallel to the tray =1.039 N

5\cos \theta is perpendicular to the tray =4.890 N

3. A 2kg wooden block whose initial speed is 3 m/s slides on a smooth floor for 2 meters before it comes to a

serious [3.7K]

Answer:

Calculating Coefficient of friction is 0.229.

Force is 4.5 N that keep the block moving at a constant speed.

Explanation:

We know that speed expression is as $\mathrm{V}^{2}=\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{i}}^{2}+2 . \mathrm{a} . \Delta \mathrm{s}$ .

Where, ${V}_{i}$ is initial speed, V is final speed, ∆s displacement and a acceleration.

Given that,

${V}_{i}$ =3 m/s, V = 0 m/s, and ∆s = 2 m

Substitute the values in the above formula,

$0=3^{2}-2 \times 2 \times a$

0 = 9 - 4a

4a = 9

$a=2.25 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$

$a=2.25 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$ is the acceleration.

Calculating Coefficient of friction:

$\mathrm{F}=\mathrm{m} \times \mathrm{a}$

$\mathrm{F}=\mu \times \mathrm{m} \times \mathrm{g}$

Compare the above equation

$\mu \times m \times g=m \times a$

Cancel "m" common term in both L.H.S and R.H.S

$\text { Equation becomes, } \mu \times g=a$

$\text { Coefficient of friction } \mu=\frac{a}{g}$

$\mathrm{g} \text { on earth surface }=9.8 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$

$\mu=\frac{2.25}{9.8}$

$\mu=0.229$

Hence coefficient of friction is 0.229.

calculating force:

$\text { We know that } \mathrm{F}=\mathrm{m} \times \mathrm{a}$

$\mathrm{F}=2 \times 2.25 \quad(\mathrm{m}=2 \mathrm{kg} \text { given })$

F = 4.5 N

Therefore, the force would be 4.5 N to keep the block moving at a constant speed across the floor.

PV = nRT, is the a. equation of state of an ideal gas

romanna [79]

Ideal gas law:

PV = nRT

P = pressure, V = volume, n = # of moles, R = gas constant, T = temperature

Equipartition theorem:

Each degree of freedom that a molecule has adds 0.5kT to its total internal energy where k = Boltzmann's constant and T = temperature

2nd law of thermodynamics:

A set of governing principles that restrict the direction of net heat flow (always hot to cold, heat engines are never 100% efficient, entropy always tends to increase, etc)

Clearly the answer is Choice A

Iron-rich minerals in rock pointed in one direction and then switched to the exact opposite direction. This supports what idea?

NISA [10]

Iron rich minerals in rock pointed in one direction the switch to the exact opposite direction. I'd say that what supports this idea is that Earth's magnetic field goes through pole reversals.
