Answer:

Natalie says that all things with mass have a gravitational field, but the force is very weak and cannot be perceived around small objects.

Explanation:

The force due to gravity is proportional to the mass of the object and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between objects. The Earth is so massive that the force due to its gravity is much greater than the force between objects on the counter.

If there were no friction, the objects might move toward each other, depending on what other masses were near them tending to cause them to move in other directions.

Natalie's explanation is about the best.

Additional comment

The universal gravitational constant was determined by Henry Cavendish in the late 18th century using lead balls weighing 1.6 pounds and 348 pounds. His experiment was enclosed in a large wooden box to minimize outside effects. While these masses are somewhat greater than those of a glue bottle and stapler, the experiment shows the force of gravity between "small" objects can be measured.

A crate with a mass of m = 450 kg rests on the horizontal deck of a ship. The coefficient of static friction between the crate a

Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer: $F_{v} =\mu_{k} mg$

Magnitude of the force is 2601.9 N

Explanation:

m = 450 kg

coefficient of static friction μs = 0.73

coefficient of kinetic friction is μk = 0.59

The force required to start crate moving is $F_{s} =\mu_{s} mg$ .

but once crate starts moving the force of friction is reduced $F_{v} =\mu_{k} mg$ .

Hence to keep crate moving at constant velocity we have to reduce the force pushing crate ie $F_{v} =\mu_{k} mg$ .

Then the above pushing force will equal the frictional force due to kinetic friction and constant velocity is possible as forces are balanced.

Magnitude of the force

$F_{v} =\mu_{k} mg\\F_{v} =0.59 \times 450 \times 9.8\\F_{v} =2601.9 N$

An 80.0-kg object is falling and experiences a drag force due to air resistance. The magnitude of this drag force depends on its

Zinaida [17]

Answer:

Terminal velocity of object = 12.58 m/s

Explanation:

We know that the terminal velocity is attained when drag force and gravitational force are of the same magnitude.

Gravitational force = mg = 80 * 9.8 = 784 N

Drag force = $12.0v+4.00v^2$

Equating both, we have

$784=12.0v+4.00v^2\\ \\ v^2+3v-196=0\\ \\ (v-12.58)(v+15.58)=0$

So v = 12.58 m/s or v = -15.58 m/s ( not possible)

So terminal velocity of object = 12.58 m/s

if you wanted to increase the energy of a wave but you had to leave the wavelength the same what might you do

Blizzard [7]

Answer:

Increase the amplitude

Explanation:

The energy conveyed by a wave is directly proportional to the square of its amplitude. Thus; E ∝ A²

This means that increasing the amplitude will lead to an increase in the energy.

Now, the amplitude of a wave is the height of a wave from it's highest point known as the peak, to the lowest point on the wave known as the trough whereas wavelength refers to the length of a wave from one peak to the next.

This means that increasing the amplitude has no effect on the wavelength.
