A student asks the following question:

Physics
1 answer:
MariettaO [177]3 years ago
8 0

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.

__

<em>Additional comment</em>

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 <em>can</em> be measured.

Explain how if a solid, liquid, and gas are put into individual containers how they fill the container.
Sav [38]

Answer:

serial in which container is filled

Solid -base of container

Liquid- above solid

Gas- above liquid

Explanation:

If any mixture of  matter in different state (that solid , liquid or gas )are kept in any container, then substance with higher density will be settled at lowest surface first and similarly the substance with lowest density will be at upper part of container.

In the given container we have to keep solid, liquid and gas

  • sold has the highest density,
  • gas the lowest density and
  • liquid has the density higher than gas but less than solid.

based on this

solid will be at surface of container

above sold will be liquid

above liquid will be presence of Gas

serial in which container is filled

Solid -base of container

Liquid- above solid

Gas- above liquid

Use the concepts of kinetic energy and potential energy to describe the motion of a child on a swing. Why does the child need a
andrew-mc [135]
When the child is moving, he/she has kinetic energy. For just a brief second before they move the other way, the child is not moving, but they have gravitational potential energy.

The child may need a push from time to time because friction with the air causes loss of energy.

The mertric unit of electrical power is the _____. A. watt B.volt C.ampere D.ohm
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

A - Watt

Explanation:

Watt is the unit of electrical power in a metric system, expressed in terms of energy per second, equal to the work done at a rate of 1 joule per second is

power formula is P = V × I,

                                              where V is the voltage in a circuit

                                                      I is the current flowing through that circuit.

In the SI (metric) system, the units of power are watts.

Ice skaters often end their performances with spin turns, where they spin very fast about their center of mass with their arms f
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

\large \boxed{\text{30 rev/s}}

Explanation:

This question is based on the Law of Conservation of Angular Momentum.

Angular momentum (L) equals the moment of inertia (I) times the angular speed (ω).

L = Iω

If momentum is conserved,

I₁ω₁ = I₂ω₂

Data:

 I₁ = 3.5    kg·m²s⁻¹

ω₁ = 6.0    rev·s⁻¹

 I₂ = 0.70 kg·m²s⁻¹

Calculation:

\begin{array}{rcl}I_{1}\omega_{1} &= &I_{2}\omega_{2}\\\text{3.5 kg$\cdot$m$^{2}$}\times \text{6.0 rev/s} &= &\text{0.70 kg$\cdot$m$^{2}$}\times\omega_{2}\\\text{21 rev/s} &= &0.70\omega_{2}\\\omega_{2} & = & \dfrac{\text{21 rev/s}}{0.70}\\\\&=&\textbf{30 rev/s}\\\end{array}\\\text{The skater's final rotational speed is $\large \boxed{\textbf{30 rev/s}}$}

Which describes an object’s speed in free fall?
Mrac [35]
"Free fall" is the motion of an object when gravity is the ONLY force
acting on it.

In true 'free fall' the speed of an object increases at a constant rate
for the total duration of the fall.  The rate of increase, on or near the
Earth's surface, is 9.8 meters per second for each second of fall.

True free fall is almost impossible to observe in everyday life, because
whenever we see anything falling, it's almost always falling through air,
so gravity is NOT the only force acting on it.  The friction due to the
motion through air works against the gravitational force.  In many cases,
the result is that the object's speed eventually stops increasing and
becomes constant, at a speed often described with the faux technical,
high-fallutin' sounding phrase "terminal velocity".  It must be understood
that 'terminal velocity' is NOT a property of gravity or of free fall, but is
only a result of falling through some surrounding stuff that interferes with
the process of true 'free fall'.
