Pressure is the force per unit area. This means that the pressure a solid object exerts on another solid surface is its weight in newton’s divided by its area in square metres

What change will always result in an increase in gravitational force between two objects
tekilochka [14]

The gravitational force between two object depends on their masses and on their distance.


Since the formula is


F = G\frac{m_1m_2}{d^2}


If the masses grow, the force also grows. But I'm assuming the two objects are fixed, so you can't enlarge their mass.


So, the only option remaining is to lower their distance: since it sits at the denominator, a smaller value of d results in a bigger value for F.


So, if you reduce the distance between two objects, the gravitational force between them will always result in an increase

A car travels in a straight line for 5 h at a constant speed of 72 km/h. What is it’s acceleration
Luda [366]

Answer:

a \approx \: 0.001 \: m {s}^{ - 2}

Explanation:

Given:

initial \:  velocity \:  (u) = 0 \\  \\ Final  \: Velocity \:  (v) = 72 km /h   \\  \\ Time \:  (t) = 5 \:  hours \\  \\ Acceleration \:  (a) =?  \\  \\  \because \: a =  \frac{v - u}{t}  \\  \\  \therefore \: a =  \frac{72 - 0}{5}  \\  \\ a =  \frac{72}{5}  \\  \\ a = 14.5 \: km {h}^{ - 2}  \\  \\ a =  \frac{14.5 \times 1000}{3600\times 3600} \: m {s}^{ - 2}   \\  \\ a = 0.00111882716 \\  \\ a \approx \: 0.001 \: m {s}^{ - 2}

In a "worst-case" design scenario, a 2000 kg elevator with broken cables is falling at 4.00 m/s when it first contacts a cushion
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

4 m/s²

Explanation:

 When the elevator is 1 m below point of contact , compression will be 1 m.

Restoring force in the spring will be 10600 N. Friction force of 17000N  will also act in upward direction . The weight of 2000 x 9.8 N will act downwards

Force in down ward direction = 2000 x 9.8

= 19600 N

Force in upward direction

= 10600 + 17000

= 27600 N

Net force in upward direction

= 27600 - 19600

= 8000 N

Acceleration in upward direction

= 8000 / 2000

= 4 m/s²
