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.

Write a explanation explaining why red is a beautiful color is not a hypothesis
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

Please find the explanation below

Explanation:

A hypothesis in science is a testable explanation that is yet to be tested via experimentation. It is a predictive statement or suggested solution to an observation. A hypothesis aims at finding a possible explanation/answer to a question, which is subject to testing. One important aspect of formulating a hypothesis is that it tends to connect the independent variable with the dependent/measurable variable.

The statement "RED IS A BEAUTIFUL COLOR" cannot be considered a hypothesis because it does not aim to answer a question that can undergo experimental testing. This statement can not be measured via experimentation. The statement is not a possible answer to a question but rather a personal opinion about something.

Based on the attached image:

  • The name of the longitude line that passes through point A is the International Date Line
  • The longitude 180° is experiencing solar noon because the rays of the sun are parallel to it.
  • The longitude for 6 pm is 90° W, 12 midnight is 0°, and 6 am is 90° E
  • Longitude 120° is B
  • Solar time at Point B is 4 pm
  • The location will correspond to any point on the same latitude as A

<h3>What are lines of longitude?</h3>

Lines of longitude are imaginary lines which run along the earth from the North pole. to the South pole.

Longitude lines divide the earth into semi-circles.

Longitude lines are known as meridians and each meridian measures one arc degree of longitude.

Considering the attached image:

  • The name of the longitude line that passes through point A is the International Date Line
  • The longitude 180° is experiencing solar noon because the rays of the sun are parallel to it.
  • The longitude for 6 pm is 90° W, 12 midnight is 0°, and 6 am is 90° E
  • Longitude 120° is B
  • Solar time at Point B is 4 pm
  • the location will correspond to any point on the same latitude as A

In conclusion, longitude lines are imaginary lines and run from North to South on the earth.

A ball is thrown upward with a speed of 40 m/s. Approximately how much time does it take the ball to travel from the release loc
zvonat [6]

I'm going to assume that this gripping drama takes place on planet Earth, where the acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s².  The solutions would be completely different if the same scenario were to play out in other places.

A ball is thrown upward with a speed of 40 m/s.  Gravity decreases its upward speed (increases its downward speed) by 9.8 m/s every second.

So, the ball reaches its highest point after (40 m/s)/(9.8 m/s²) = <em>4.08 seconds</em>. At that point, it runs out of upward gas, and begins falling.

Just like so many other aspects of life, the downward fall is an exact "mirror image" of the upward trip.  After another 4.08 seconds, the ball has returned to the height of the hand which flung it.  In total, the ball is in the air for <em>8.16 seconds</em> up and down.

A block is being pulled upward along an inclined surface at a constant speed. Which of the following statements is correct? Grou
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:The net force on the block is zero.

Explanation:

Given

Block is being pulled upward along an inclined surface at a constant speed

As speed is constant and moved in a straight line along the plane therefore its velocity is also constant .

and change in velocity is equal to acceleration therefore acceleration is zero here i.e. net force is zero acting on the body.
