What is the definition of gravity in simple terms?

Physics
1 answer:
Tema [17]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Gravity, also called gravitation, in mechanics, the universal force of attraction acting between all matter. ... On Earth all bodies have a weight, or downward force of gravity, proportional to their mass, which Earth's mass exerts on them. Gravity is measured by the acceleration that it gives to freely falling objects

1 : A force of attraction that tends to draw particles or bodies together.

2 : The attraction of bodies by the force of gravity toward the center of the earth.

3 : Great seriousness.

Answer:

s=5.79\ km

\theta=47^{\circ} east of south

Explanation:

Given:

  • distance of the person form the initial position, d'=8.4\ km
  • direction of the person from the initial position, 47^{\circ} north of east
  • distance supposed to travel form the initial position, d=5.3\ km
  • direction supposed to travel from the initial position, due North

<u>Now refer the schematic for visualization of situation:</u>

y=d'.\sin47^{\circ}-d

y=8.4\times \sin47-5.3 ...............(1)

x=d'.\cos47^{\circ}

x=8.4\times \cos47^{\circ} .................(2)

<u>Now the direction of the desired position with respect to south:</u>

\tan\theta=\frac{y}{x}

\tan\theta=\frac{8.4\times \sin47}{8.4\times \cos47}

\theta=47^{\circ} east of south

<u>Now the distance from the current position to the desired position:</u>

s=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}

s=\sqrt{(8.4\times \cos47)^2+(8.4\times \sin47-5.3)^2}

s=5.79\ km

Using simple language, explain how your demonstration shows the effect of distance on electric forces. Use the terms electric ch
Eddi Din [679]

Explanation:

For a charge concentrated nearly at a point, the electric field is directly proportional to the amount of charge; it is inversely proportional to the square of the distance radially away from the centre of the source charge and depends also upon the nature of the medium.

The SAF operates the M113 Ultra APC.
HACTEHA [7]

The volume of the object must be no larger than 11.15 m^3.

Explanation:

In order for an object to be able to float in water, its density must be equal or smaller than the water density.

The density of water is:

\rho = 1000 kg/m^3

This means that the density of the object must be no larger than this value.

We also know that the density of an object is given by

\rho = \frac{m}{V}

where

m is the mass of the object

V is its volume

For the object in this problem, the mass is

m=1.115\cdot 10^4 kg

Therefore, we can re-arrange the equation to find its volume:

V=\frac{m}{\rho}=\frac{1.115\cdot 10^4}{1000}=11.15 m^3

So, the volume of the object must be no larger than 11.15 m^3.

The tub of a washer goes into its spin-dry cycle, starting from rest and reaching an angular speed of 6.0 rev/s in 11.0 s. At th
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer

given,

ω₁ = 0 rev/s

ω₂ = 6 rev/s

t = 11 s

Using equation of rotational motion

The angular acceleration is

  ωf - ωi = α t

  11 α = 6 - 0

      = 0.545 rev/s²

The angular displacement

  θ₁= ωi t + (1/2) α t²

  θ₁= 0 + (1/2) (0.545)(11)^2

  θ₁= 33 rev

case 2

ω₁ = 6 rev/s

ω₂ = 0 rev/s

t = 14 s

Using equation of rotational motion

The angular acceleration is

  ωf - ωi = α t

  14 α = 0 - 6

        = - 0.428 rev/s²

The angular displacement

  θ₂= ωi t + (1/2) α t²

  θ₂= 6 x 14 + (1/2) (-0.428)(14)^2

  θ₂= 42 rev

total revolution in 25 s is equal to

θ =  θ₁ +  θ₂

θ =  33 + 42

θ = 75 rev
