What does the force of attraction called gravity act on?

Physics
2 answers:
Jobisdone [24]4 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Every mass

Explanation:

Because Force of gravity always act toward the center of the earth , so when an object is thrown up ,the force of gravity will act in opposite direction of motion ,that's toward the center of earth. The force is towards the center of the Earth (more or less). which gives it time get touch every mass.

The temperature of a lead fishing weight rises from 26∘c to 38∘c as it absorbs 11.3 j of heat. what is the mass of the fishing w
Nimfa-mama [501]
Given:
ΔT = 38 - 26 = 12°C, temperature change
Q = 11.3 J, heat input
c = 0.128 J/(g-°C), specific heat of lead

Let m =  the mass of the lead.
Then
Q = m*c*ΔT
(m g)*(0.128 J/(g-°C))*(12 °C) = 11.3 J
1.536m = 11.3
m = 7.357 g

Answer:  7.36 g  (2 sig. figs)

A speaker generates a continuous tone of 440 Hz. In the drawing, sound travels into a tube that splits into two segments, one lo
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

The minimum difference between the lengths of the two tubes should be 0.385 meters.

Explanation:

As we known that for any two waves to arrive in phase at any point the difference in the path traveled by the waves should be an integral multiple of the wavelength of the wave.

Mathematically we can write:

\Delta x=n\frac{\lambda }{2}

For the given wave we have

\lambda =\frac{v}{\nu }

Applying values we get

\lambda =\frac{339}{440 }=0.77m

Thus the minimum difference in the lengths of the tubes can be obtained by putting the value of n = 1

\therefore \Delta x=1\times \frac{0.77}{2}=0.385m

In this setup how can potential energy be converted into kinetic energy .
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

If force is applied to cause the motion of the body

Explanation:

In the setup given in this diagram, potential energy can be converted into kinetic energy by applying force on the cart or object to move it down the slope.

Potential energy is the energy due to the position of a body. The body has huge potential energy at its current position.

Kinetic energy is the energy due to the motion of a body.

As the body moves down the slope and its velocity increases, it gains massive kinetic energy.

Down the slope, the kinetic energy increases as the potential energy decreases.

At the bottom of the slope, the potential energy becomes zero and the kinetic energy is at its maximum.
