What is gravity ?short ans​

Physics
1 answer:
Nezavi [6.7K]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Gravity, or gravitation, is a natural phenomenon by which all things with mass or energy—including planets, stars, galaxies, and even light—are brought toward one another. On Earth, gravity gives weight to physical objects, and the Moon's gravity causes the ocean tides.

Two projectile launchers are beside one another on level ground. Both launchers are directed at the same angle with respect to g
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

(a) Projectile B will travel 4 times as far as projectile A prior to landing

Explanation:

Initial velocity = v

Angle at which the projectile is shot at = θ

g = Acceleration due to gravity

Range of a projectile is given by

R=\frac {v^{2}\sin 2\theta}{g}

When Initial velocity = v

R_A=\frac{v^{2}\sin 2\theta}{g}

When Initial velocity = 2v

R_B=\frac{(2v)^{2}\sin 2\theta}{g}\\\Rightarrow R_B=\frac{4v^2\sin 2\theta}{g}

Dividing the equtions, we get

\frac{R_A}{R_B}=\frac{\frac{v^{2}\sin 2\theta}{g}}{\frac{4v^2\sin 2\theta}{g}}

Here, the angle at which the projectiles are fired at are equal.

\frac{R_A}{R_B}=\frac{1}{4}\\\Rightarrow R_B=4R_A

Hence, projectile B will travel 4 times as far as projectile A prior to landing

Compare and contrast the lithosphere and the asthenosphere(3 different 2 similarities)
worty [1.4K]
Before comparing and contrasting these layers of Earth, we first define what lithosphere and asthenosphere are. 

Lithosphere primarily consists of the outermost layers of the Earth, which are the crust and the uppermost portion of the mantle. Simply, the ground you stepped on is part of earth's lithosphere. On the other hand, asthenosphere comprises of hot and partially molten rock just located at the upper portion of the mantle but just below the lithosphere. Both have similarities and differences, which are as follows:

SIMILARITIES:
- Both are the passageways of earthquakes P-waves (Primary waves) just before it reaches the earth's surface.
- Both are made of the same material (Silicon oxide rocks, which are rich in iron and magnesium)

DIFFERENCES:
- Rocks in lithosphere can bend (it deforms, resulting in fault formations), however, rocks in the asthenosphere, not only bend but also flow (plastic in nature).
- Lithosphere has relatively low temperatures compared to asthenosphere.
- Due to its depth, pressure against rocks in asthenosphere is comparatively higher compared to lithosphere.

You throw an 18.0 N rock into the air from ground level and observe that, when it is 15.0 m high, it is traveling upward at 17.0
stellarik [79]

Answer:

Vi = 24.14 m/s

Explanation:

If we apply Law of Conservation of Energy or Work-Energy Principle here, we get: (neglecting friction)

Loss in K.E of the Rock = Gain in P.E of the Rock

(1/2)(m)(Vi² - Vf²) = mgh

Vi² - Vf² = 2gh

Vi² = Vf² + 2gh

Vi = √(Vf² + 2gh)

where,

Vi = Rock's Speed as it left the ground = ?

Vf = Final Speed = 17 m/s

g = 9.8 m/s²

h = height of rock = 15 m

Therefore,

Vi = √[(17 m/s)² + 2(9.8 m/s²)(15 m)]

Vi = √583 m²/s²

<u>Vi = 24.14 m/s</u>
