What is the definition of gravity in simple terms?

Physics
1 answer:
Tema [17]2 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.

Bosons &amp; Fermions A new type of quantum object has been discovered. When a large collection of these are cooled to almost ab
Lena [83]

Answer:

Only 2,3,4 are true

Explanation:

Bosons Particles are particles that condense to the same state. Bosons particle have integral spin like 0 , $\hbar$, 2$\hbar, 3$\hbar$, etc. Bosons particles always have asymmetric wave function and there is exchange of particles.

1) It does not obey Fermi_ Dirac statistics

2) It obeys Bose-Einstein statistics

3) The object can have intrinsic spin 2$\hbar

4) Yes the Bosons particle is always symmetric with exchange of particles

5) No Bosons particle are symmetric and not asymmetric

a skydiver jumps out of a plane. describe how gravitational potential energy changes as the skydiver falls. describe how the sky
Oliga [24]

gravitational potential is directly proportional to the height of the object relative to a reference line and is given as

PE = mgh                        

where m = mass of object , g = acceleration due to                    

gravity   and  h = height of the object above the reference line .


as the skydiver falls , its height above the ground decrease and hence the gravitational potential energy of the skydiver decrease.

as per conservation of energy , total energy of the skydiver must remain constant all the time . hence the decrease in potential energy appears as increase in kinetic energy by same amount to keep the total energy constant

KE + PE = Total energy

so as the skydiver falls , it gains speed and hence the kinetic energy of skydiver increase since kinetic energy is directly proportional to the square of the speed.


when the parachute opens, the skydiver experience force in upward which tries to balance the weight of the skydiver. hence the speed of the skydiver decrease until upward force becomes equal to the downward force. hence the kinetic energy decrease just after the parachute opens

A professor's office door is 0.91 m wide, 2.0 m high, and 4.0 cm thick; has a mass of 25 kg; and pivots on frictionless hinges.
olasank [31]

Answer:

F= 5.71 N

Explanation:

width of door= 0.91 m

door closer torque on door= 5.2 Nm

In order to hold the door in open position we need to exert an equal and opposite torque, to the door closer torque, on the door.

so wee need to exert 5.2 Nm torque on the door.

If we want to apply minimum force to exert the required torque we need to apply force perpendicularly on the door knob (end of door) so that to to greater moment arm.

T= r x F

T= r F sin∅

F= T/ (r * sin∅)

F= 5.2/ (0.91 * 1)

F= 5.71 N
